How did you learn to start setting boundaries early instead of letting resentment build? How do you deal with people making you the problem?
I'm starting to realize that I was conditioned by a sucky "friend" to never speak up because she would always frame me as the problem/attack my character even when she was legitimately acting badly.
I've been working on it but I still expect to be told "you're so sensitive!" or "why do you think everything is malicious?" When I tell people I don't like their behavior/passive aggressiveness due to her.
I'm better now but still. If anyone else relates, how did you fight anticipating that reaction? How do you deal with it when it does happen?
Also how did you not let resentment build up and then come out all at once due to delayed boundaries?
