Thank you for sharing - a fascinating development here. It's remarkable that your boundaries have become 'accommodative'. It's a process of self awareness and understanding what sets one off. I believe you have learned all that in your search. Well done!

A thought-provoking Q in the end. I used to be a very temperamental personality at one time, and later on, after my outbursts, I used to feel quite uncomfortable about a situation that should have been controllable, or even avoidable. This brought me on to a search from Philosophy, Literature, Psychology, Religion, Spirituality -- I observed, I meditated on my shortcomings, I practiced, I learnt the whole of Gita's 700 shlokas by heart -- and now I feel that my boundaries are not so limited, parochial, sensitivity diluted, and my boundaries became more axccommodative. Yet still, I can't tolerate indecency, violence, stupidity of the learned. There's a great Professor who I have heated arguments with.

That is one way to deal with it. But, itis amazing how much BS we take to get to that level.

My boundaries are more physical than anything else........I am at my best when I don't have to be around a lot of people.....too much stimuli = flustered, dizzy zenmom. But, once inside my "circle" (with permission), my boundaries are less limiting. You can ask me anything....talk ABOUT anything...off w/ your shoes/socks, light up a cigar, pour a drink and gab, gab, gab.

keeping those boundaries up can be a job
when certain people keep trying to push it. I find that the best thing is to remove those people from my life.

Human boundaries must be preserved. When trespassers invade physical boundaries, the signs tell you that 'you will be prosecuted'. When the basic protocols of human decency are not observed, the offenders must be avoided so history doesn't repeat itself! Very good information!
