Re: Topic Tuesday // Creating and maintaining social connections // Tues 20 Nov, 7pm AEDT
@Mazarita I think everything you said is so thoughtful and honest.
I too think expectation is the enemy of relationships. Whilst I set boundaries I try not to expect too much otherwise I end up disappointed. This is particularly true of my relationship with my brother. As soon as I stopped expecting him to be something he wasn't, I was alot happier an dour relationship improved tremendously.
I'm sure I'll be around. 🙂 Thank you for your kind words.

PS. I'll leave this thread open until tomorrow so you can all continue chatting amongst yourselves for a bit or you might like to start a thread in the forums around this same subject to continue the conversation? I'll let you all decide 🌈
Thanks for your time @jess_27 we will hopefully see you again for another great event! Night night! (also hi there @frog - didn't want to miss you!)

@jess_27, I found the forum by chance on one of my many Google searches on various things. It helped me so much at a really low point. That same day I started moving towards doing what needed to be done for my medical treatment, something I'd got to a very bad state with. Since then, it has worked marvels in various ways. Aside from that I have a very active online life, including creative collaborations with people over the net, often people on the other side of the world! The internet has played a fairly major role in my life since the 1990s.
Thanks, @Lauz and @jess_27, so much, for having this forum with us. Hope you enjoy the rest of your night.

Re: Topic Tuesday // Creating and maintaining social connections // Tues 20 Nov, 7pm AEDT
Hi @jess_27,
I came to the forum too late tonight. I just wanted to say what a great discussion!!
I am part way through a book called “ Boundaries “ I stumbled upon it by accident when reading “parenting with boundaries “ I decided if I was to instill it in the kids I better learn it for myself.
The whole concept of beginning to set boundaries at the age of 34 seems really overwhelming for me.
However I am feeling really encouraged by reading from others on the forum tonight.
I just wanted to say thank you to those that have the courage to post about their experiences & insight. It is an honesty that I haven’t been able to find in my friendship circles , that’s for sure and is ever so helpful!!

@Teej Funny with your friend Teej as I have a similar arrangement with my exhusband. He rings me once a week to see if I am okay. It is sweet to have people care about you so much that they would do that. xxxx
