On 9/11everyone in the world saw that New Yorker's have compassion for others. Where did the judgement that People from New York have no compassion come from? I do not like to generalize but many of the people I have encountered in my life have compassion. But there are those I have come across that lack compassion are those from whom I have had to work with in the Human Services field. But either you have it or you don't. I would hope it is not the lost human skill.

Boundaries are healthy
It feels so liberating to know I don't have invite certain people to my home if I do not want to. It feels so good to know I can say "No" without feeling guilty of hurting someone elses feelings, and not feeling bad about it. It is so nice to know that I can attend certain functions and not others and have no care in the world about what other's think. It is nice to know that I having set boundaries I have grown to be more assertive, independent and others are less apt to imposing their stuff onto me. I have set my ground and have posted my boundaries to help me make better decisions, to protect me from getting abused and also to allow myself to see myself as a decision maker and not as a "have to person". Boundaries are healthy, but setting them up is alot of work...but anyone can do it.
