How Should We Explain Boundaries?
GPT-4's response:
Imagine you have a special toy room that's all yours. In this room, you have your own set of rules. But what if a friend comes over, and without knowing your rules, they accidentally break one of your favorite toys? That would be quite upsetting, right?
Think of that toy room's "rules" as our "emotional boundaries".
There are ways to recognize when these "emotional boundaries" might have been crossed. Pay attention to these signs:
- If while playing, you suddenly feel uncomfortable...
- If you find yourself feeling unusually tense...
- When there's an odd feeling in your chest or stomach...
- If during a game or playtime you feel overwhelmingly defeated...
- If doing the same thing as everyone else feels incredibly hard...
- When you're confused about what's happening around you...
These signs might mean you've gone past your "emotional boundary". If you feel any of these, think about "running away" from that situation. It's important to talk to a trusted grown-up or friend about your feelings.
It's good to watch out for these signs, but don't be scared.
Boundaries aren't just lines. Near the line, there's a place to be with someone. That place is full of good things. Happiness is there too.
