I have often had a hard time respecting other peoples boundaries. I used to stink my nose in stuff I had no business getting involved in. But I did it because my codependency had me wanting to fix other peoples problems... And because I felt I knew best for them. All that did was make my life unmanageable. I ended up getting in the middle of situations... And then found myself getting blamed! Yikers... But I was just trying to help!!
Thanks for the reminder GettingBy. You are so right. I had forgotten my practice of noticing when I am "trying to help," and telling myself to mind my own damn business. Whenever I'm trying to help, I'm likely neglecting my own side of the street.
