However, I don't think it such a good thing to just say "no" and leave it at that. People deserve respect and a bit of an explanation if they're your friend.Rubye Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02511953177053448513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3813761.post-24768850332799971682012-06-15T15:10:24.305-07:002012-06-15T15:10:24.305-07:00I had to speak up every day I was married to a ver...I had to speak up every day I was married to a very dominant man.

I've just lately started to deal with the anxiety and guilt I feel in regard to setting boundaries, but thankfully the joy of having avoided an unpleasant experience acts as an excellent reward. <br /><br />Great post!colonialpunkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08611999046302778659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3813761.post-58247330580109460282012-03-15T19:35:00.004-07:002012-03-15T19:35:00.004-07:00So I just found out that I am HSP and it explains ...So I just found out that I am HSP and it explains everything...except why, even though we now know this, my husband is not more understanding and we still are like fire and gasoline...until I found an article about HSP's and Narcissists...We had already figured out that he is a narcissist a long time ago..now add an HSP...Do you see?
