ParticipantAnita, I am terrified by the energy you send. Again. 😥 I have been in a very bad episode. I need to solve what is going on with me. I cannot think or feel normally now.

ParticipantAnita, I can’t believe what you have written in your post now at 9:39 and I am leaving for good.
This is too much for me. I can’t continue.

ParticipantEarlier in this thread I posted:
Everyone needs love, protection and respect… Everyone needs to be offered the feeling of security and non-fear. If we decide to set healthy boundaries during conflict, the boundaries will protect everyone. They will not isolate us from others. They will only help everyone understand our world, our needs, our difficulties and suffering… so that we could cultivate compassion, the capacity to understand suffering, and help to remove it, transform it…
Can we try?
I know it’s hard. ❤️
I’ll let you explan the conflict to each other… I just needed to remind us… we all need the same, love, feeling of security, understanding…

Participant“I’ve got to say that I was rather surprised, and honestly, a bit upset when I saw Anita posted in your thread this morning, expressing empathy and compassion for the suffering you went through as a child, however without saying a word about the past conflict, or offering an apology.
To me, that’s not how you repair a relationship. You cannot just pretend that nothing happened and walk in as if no harm was done previously. You cannot continue business-as-usual without acknowledging and taking responsibility for your past actions…”
It really hit me hard.

ParticipantOne day I will find a way to connect my love and healthy boundaries so that I don’t feel like I’m hurting myself or others.

ParticipantI think it is very common to feel lonely.
The paradox is that it happens even when we are not lonely – we have friends, a partner, …
Because it is a feeling. And we must work with it internally. Nothing or noone from outside can solve loneliness… because it is inside.

ParticipantI’m a little bit sad.
I feel very stupid…
But it is okay.
I did the right thing. I did it from my heart. 😊
I have to learn not to be so eager to give away my heart. It is my inner work… I take responsibility for my feelings. It is my foolishness…
Love is protection. Everyone needs to feel protected and safe.
Boundaries are not meant to isolate us, but connect us in a different, healthy way.

ParticipantTee and Alessa, I understand you. ❤️
Maybe Anita would like to add her point of view, or explain her feelings about the conflict?
I am open to hear you, too, Anita. 🌸

ParticipantWas the covid period hard for you, MissLDuchess?
I understand. I would love to have a female friend irl. 😊
But I have a great female friend Alessa at least online! ❤️
I socialize on forums, also discord… you can send voice messages or call each other on discord. But you must be careful, of course.
I like that I can meet people from the other side of the planet online and get to know them.
And here and there a real friendship arise… even though only online.
We must keep trying. 😊

ParticipantHello everyone,
I’m wondering if you have any ideas or experiences on how to behave properly when we want to be polite and assertive, but perhaps we have to say something that is not pleasant to the other person…
But we need to say it, because that person is negatively affecting themselves or others… perhaps they are suffering terribly, but because of their own suffering they don’t even see how they are destroying themselves and others…
It is very difficult for me, because this very often leads to a conflict, because many people don’t like being confronted with their own mistakes.

ParticipantHello Tee,
thank you for your kind words and support!
I am very interested in more of your thoughts.

ParticipantHello Miss Duchess,
it is hard. I think it really takes time and also a lot of learning and growing… There is no universal advice or cure for this.
I personally keep trying… as you wrote, “I want to keep putting myself out there, open to connection, and cultivate real, supportive friendships.” I agree. And maybe it’s the best way…
We have to accept that there might be more dissapointments, because the world is so vast… and people are so different and sometimes complicated… It is not easy to make a genuine friendship, to find the “right” one. It can feel like looking for a needle in a haystack.
I really like that you try and you don’t get bitter. ❤️
BTW, what are your thoughts on online friendships?

ParticipantI believe that healing is about forgiving and accepting. 🙏 😊 Without that, we cannot “move forward and heal from lingering resentment”, as MissLDuchess wrote.
