This goes for friends, family, and clients.
You may not have even realized that someone has taken themselves out of the box that they are in.
Examples:
1️⃣They are a coworker, but they move themselves into the friend box and get an attitude if you talk about any other coworker too affectionately or any of your close friends.😏🤷🏾♀️
2️⃣They are a friend, but they move themselves to the family box saying "sis" this and that (way too prematurely).
Then, you can tell they have an attitude when you talk about your real sister. 😏🤷🏾♀️
3️⃣They are a client, but they move themselves into the friend box and get an attitude when you expect payment for the same service that everyone else pays for and that they have always paid for to become a client in the first place. 😏🤷🏾♀️
OR they feel a way when you state policy and procedures like "You must reschedule 48 hours in advance or incur a fee....or there won't be any contact outside of sessions if you haven't paid for text support." 😏🤷🏾♀️
This is why boundaries in all parts of your life are so important: relationships, friendships, family, career, business, etc. ✋🏾

💥Nurse Dei-ism: It's soooo weird. If you've had the conversation, "GUL, I LUH YOU! You my best friend or gurl you my sister now!" Fine.
But, if normal operations are in process and all of a sudden, they just feel like it doesn't apply to them, like....😏 what is going on???
And guess what?
MOST people do feel that way: " I know you said do this, but it's MEEEEEEE!"
(It's me feel like me can do a late cancelation, don't pay the payment plan, contact you all hours of time, try to spend more time with you, and not be a client anymore cause it's me wanna jump into the friend box).
Who said the friend box is open?
People have to respect the relationship that you do have instead of thinking they can overstep what it is because it's them.😏🤷🏾♀️
It's me gone get let go completely and have no access, because you will not overstep cause you feel you can. Ain't nobody told you any differently.
✋🏾 (on the forehead)You running full speed ahead in a zone that you don't understand. Slow whoa whoa! 🐎

👆🏾That's what you have to do. 😁
