Good morning!
I hope you're having a lovely day and a lovely weekend. Today, I'm offering a case study on subtle boundary pushing. Basically, I met a person in my mutual friend circles who seemed nice, but then gradually gave me the creeps, and I was the only one who saw it.
Most of us are pretty good at spotting overtly manipulative or unsafe people, but the quieter and softer ones can be easy to miss. And if we realize we don't trust someone, but our friends still do, how do we navigate that?
This is just my experience, of course, and your approach or personal style will probably vary. The stakes and appropriate responses will vary too, depending on your unique case. But if you relate, then I hope my story can be of service.
And just a reminder to please keep these details on Patreon. I only feel safe to share my personal examples to this contained audience.
