Signs of Unhealthy Boundaries



SIGNS OF UNHEALTHY BOUNDARIES


  • Telling All
  • Talking at an intimate level on the first meeting
  • Being overwhelmed by a person-preoccupied
  • Going against personal values and rights to please others
  • Not noticing when someone else displays unhealthy boundaries
  • Letting others direct your life
  • Letting others define you
  • Believing others can anticipate your needs
  • Expecting others to fill your needs automatically
  • Falling apart so someone will take care of you
  • Being a "rock" in order to take care of someone else
  • Letting others describe your reality
  • Accepting food and gifts that you don't want
  • Taking as much as you can get for the sake of getting
  • Hugging a person without asking
  • Acting out on first impulse
Opinions and Feelings are frequently a personal triumph over good thinking.  You define reality by what you know, what you believe, and what you do about it.
