You Gotta Love Some People From a Distance…

Hola amigo, how’s your day?

I hope that you’re keeping well and having a good week.

But, if you’ve been having some “people problems” — (who isn’t lol) then I’m here to let you know that you’re not alone.

It seems that this thing of being a human and interacting with other humans can sometimes be a bit tricky lol, especially whenever the said humans lack empathy, self-awareness, or respect for others' boundaries.

I’m sure you’ve noticed how much more common discussions around narcissism and the importance of protecting your mental health are. I’ve definitely noticed it, 10 years ago I never saw people discussing narcissism, NPD (Narcissist Personality Disorder), self-awareness, empathy, mental health, and enforcing boundaries; it just wasn’t a topic.

However, it now seems like almost every podcast or reel on Instagram is about this — which I don’t actually think is a bad thing, it’s quite good.

And while I realize that every person posting and commenting online about these topics may not always be dealing with “ an actual narcissist” as this is usually defined as a diagnosable personality disorder — NPD, which occurs in around 1 in 200 people, I do think that people are a lot better at recognising “high trait” narcissists (people who score highly on the personality scale) and also people who are genuinely insensitive and disrespectful.

And overall, I think that this is a positive thing as it's as if society and the average person have become a lot more educated on their own needs, self-care, and mental health. Knowledge is power and whenever people have the knowledge to know what is right and what is wrong, what is healthy and what is not — this only bodes well for better mental health.

Furthermore, while narratives around boundaries, self-care, and healthy relationships increase, it's natural to think that maybe there has been a rise in abusive behaviour or narcissistic traits within society, however, what I think is more likely is that there have always been instances of abusive people — whether it was in romantic relationships, people in positions of power, government or high up in the corporate world; the difference now is that people are more AWARE and also feel more confident to call it out.

It’s OK to Enforce Boundaries With Toxic People

It’s not just OK — It’s essential and it’s necessary.

Unfortunately sometimes in life, we will encounter people who do not or cannot respect our boundaries.

Whether this is in subtle or overtly abusive ways, you don’t have to tolerate it.

You have autonomy and personal agency over your own life and you can say no and enforce boundaries that protect your health.

Now I know that this is often a lot easier said than done, it’s sounds good on paper, but of course, it can feel a lot more challenging to put into practice in real life. Especially if the toxic person is your boss, your partner, friend, or family member- but never the less — your happiness and health take precedence over everything and everyone else.

Sometimes this can mean loving some people from a distance.. but all this means is that you’re loving yourself close up.
