Have your boundaries ever been breached before?

I'm the complete opposite of you, I think I'm very private in real life. People don't know ANYTHING about me, much to their frustration. I was telling my therapist yesterday that I don't even like when I become a "regular" at eating establishments because then waitstaff start anticipating what I want. They start thinking they know me, which then leads to them trying to be friendly/nice to me, and I just don't want that. I'm too engrossed in my own inner world to want to "dance" with them.

So I respect boundaries a great deal and can't imagine being any other way. Reading about your struggles has been eye-opening. I think it is good that you have a therapist who is firm in her boundaries because this makes her a good role model for you. My therapist has much looser boundaries than I do, and I'm learning from her that it's okay to be a little less guarded.
