Ring, last night when I posted that I was wondering if boundaries really work with these folks it led me to think more about your video. At the end, it shows the one neighbor as being unable to meet the other neighbor halfway. As we all know, narcissists and sociopaths are crafty. They might just meet you halfway and then some, but it will only be to their benefit. The kicker is that they will trick you into thinking it's all for you and succeed. So that's why I'm wondering if boundaries really work with these folks. Boundaries might work with someone who's addicted to alcohol or drugs and/or some other co-morbid disorder, but just a plain narcissist or sociopath? I have never implemented those strategies but it would seem awfully fatiguing (not to mention pointless).
