I established a boundary! :)
I've struggled with anxiety all my life. Coupled with my innate desire to people please, the combination has caused a lot of emotional and mental exhaustion.
I was in a situation this week where I ordinarily would have ignored my gut instincts, gave the benefit of the doubt, responded passively to not hurt feelings or seem aggressive, and resented it later on.
This time, I gathered up my courage and respectfully established a boundary. Almost instantly, a good chunk of my anxiety over the situation melted away and I had peace. I didn't feel guilty like I thought I would. Just proud of myself. :)
Wanted to share this "power-up" moment with 7Cups fam!

Congrats @neatBlueberry5213! That's honestly super impressive, setting boundaries especially for people with anxiety is super hard and you managed to do it! I'm sure this is a sign of wonderful things to come.

That’s amazing! You should absolutely feel proud of yourself!
It’s especially hard to establish boundaries when we’re used to people-pleasing so for you to push yourself and establish a boundary when normally you wouldn’t is a big big deal! Congratulations!
Healthy boundaries are amazing
