This is something I NEVER did! With friends, with family, with anyone… I let people in and I never set boundries on how far they could walk in my life. This made things very complicated when it came to things going on in my life because everyone thought they could offer their opinions on what I should or shouldn’t do.
However, I have started to back off on what I share. Not that I don’t still include my friends and family in my life but I don’t share everything with everyone. By doing this it has helped me to limit the way people think they can “help” me to make decisions about my life. It has also helped me to become more confident in my own choices. It’s amazing how shocking it has been to the people in my life (especially my family) as I have started to become more and more confident in myself and the choices I make. They have had a very difficult time with my lack of sharing which is hard, but it has also been nice to have things that are “mine” for a change. :o)
