I'm having trouble setting boundaries. I don't see red flags until it is too late. Then I become very angry with myself and the offending person or organization. I always set limits too late.
I understand that people who have complex ptsd sometimes have trouble setting interpersonal boundaries. We often don't learn about boundaries when we are young and so it is not second nature to set limits like it is with most people. Does anyone else have this problem?
I wish I could go into detail about my current situation, but I am afraid to. I wrote in my blog about this today in more detail, but I never tell anyone about my blog outside of psych central. So I thought it would be better to ask the discussion board about this.
Does anyone know how to spot right away when someone is violating your boundaries? I've been in therapy a long time and still am not seeing red flags until it is too late. If I could fix this problem with myself, I would be empowered.
