answer:I give a person two chances. If they prove unreliable or difficult through their behavior, I set boundaries for any future encounters. If they continue to be a problem, I limit contact to polite pleasantries only. Finally, if they prove impossible to deal with, I sever all contact. I am more lenient with family members, but I still have boundaries. I’m quite good at setting them. I learned in adulthood. Nothing in my formative years enabled me to be good at taking care of myself. I matured after I grew up.
