We all know people who are constantly negative or who gossip about others. There are also those people who have to make negative comments to you or other people. These comments are rarely reflections of who you are and more reflections of who someone else is as a person.

There is the neighbor who constantly wants you to take their kid to band practice because you are headed that way with your kid but, they don’t reciprocate. Then there is the neighbor who has bartered with you to watch their child while they work and says they will give you free haircuts in exchange. Time rolls around and these people don’t always reciprocate their end of the deal. Boundaries are important to make sure that you are getting something out of a relationship as well. We all know that sometimes people do take advantage of others. We must have expectations of how we want to be treated and make sure we are stating these. If you go through life being that carpet without a voice people will surely take advantage. Expectations of what we are willing to accept in a relationship with another person are extremely important. Go out and make those friendships but, don’t be taken advantage of along the way. I hope you learn to put down good boundaries, so you won’t be taken advantage of in life. I hope you find those true friendships with people who stand beside you and don’t take advantage.
