JA Westenberg“Boundaries” went from a therapeutic term to “I can treat you however I want and you can’t react.” Incredible speedrun. No notes (they’re a boundary violation)
Ian Betteridge@Daojoan I think it's a bit of a bad mix of something sensible (understanding and communicating what your real boundaries are) and toxic individualism (where boundaries clash, there is no negotiation because people are just individuals and communities of people who aren't identical aren't possible). I feel this needs more thought from me though!
Violet MadderEvery new and useful framework for healthier human interaction will be warped and weaponized by some people who don't want to treat others in healthier ways. They just adopt new vocabulary to dress up their same old nastiness.
Gunther@Daojoan People are bad with dealing with others' behavior that causes them negative emotions. "Boundaries" are often used to mean that you can't do anything that makes me feel bad. But real relationships between people mean sometimes making the other person feel bad. It comes with the territory.

Boundaries allow me to call anyone I want Karen. Are you a Karen?
