I've learned that the strongest boundary isn't raising your voice. It's deciding that not everyone deserves your time, your energy, or an explanation. Some people only understand the language of distance.

The people who benefit from your lack of boundaries are often the ones who complain when you create them

People who feel the need to make a rude comment to you in a social setting and feel satisfied about it if you react are sadistic idiots.

"[...] and when you flinch, even a little [...] you just told them your calm can be bought cheap for the price of one rude sentence." As usual, this is another great video, Mr. No Plan A. It instantly reminded me of one of Dr. Ramani's most precious advices: don't go DEEP (don't Defend, don't Engage, don't Explain, don't Personalize). Thank you very much for sharing the message and have a great day!

If we want a peaceful society, we should implement a screening process for individuals with Cluster B personality disorders (narcissistic, borderline, antisocial, histrionic) and—starting in adolescence—group them together so they can destroy one another, ending in a Highlander scenario—"there can be only one at the end"—for those familiar with that old series.

I learn this the hard way 😥
Don't feed wood to the fire. Extinguish it by not giving them reaction or cut them off your life completely

The best way to handle a rude, toxic, sadistic, insulting, mother-in-law, when hubby won't set boundaries, is to turn the thermostat down, 2 degrees for every insult, if she's really old, & can't stand cold air.  Your house, your thermostat.  Also, I got a big dog, that doesn't like her either, so this makes her nervous.
