Boundaries? hahahahaha.
I run away.
Hello unhealthy coping mech! But yes. If someone keeps pushing into my boundaries... I pretty much run away. I'll try backing away slowly to see if they stop on their own... and when they don't... I'm gone.
Then again - I have physical boundaries and I will state it loud and clear. To anyone. My students get sent to their seats if they swarm me because they're in my space and I need them out of my space. And I tend to go "don't touch me!" if I'm on edge and someone touches me when they shouldn't. Friends tend to know that I have issues with touching, so they ask.
