Before my life-changing lesson about #Boundaries from @MaS1banda , I had lots and lots of friends

After the lesson, I have 10 people that I call friends https://twitter.com/_miss_lindah/status/1086441529382748160">https://twitter.com/_miss_lin...

#Boundaries - who is what in your life?

Once you& #39;ve put people in the right group, life changes for the better!

#Boundaries

• Family - divided into close and distant relatives

• Friends - most of us throw this word around loosely, and then we get hurt when so-called friends do things to us that we wouldn& #39;t do to them. The moment I relegated people, their actions towards me hurt less

• Acquaintances - this category is where most people in our lives are chilling. We call them "friends" but actually they& #39;re not. They& #39;re acquaintances.

Your workmates are acquaintances, tweeps are acquaintances, fellow gym bunnies are acquaintances, etc.

#Boundaries

I remember when someone told me that we were actually NOT friends but mere acquaintances ... I hadn& #39;t had the #Boundaries lesson from OT so I was SO shocked.

Afterwards, I was like that person was correct

Vele we aren& #39;t friends, we are mere acquaintances

Tsheli - a member of my framily, took this lesson a step further. I was in #London and considering relocation. We got chatting about #Boundaries and she added another element to help me decide who belongs where.

"Who would you shed tears for?"

Now that question took me by surprise!

Who am I going to cry over?

• Family - close relatives

• Framily - yes

• Friends - yes

Acquaintances and Periphery - nopety-nope

I saved SO many tears in 2018 after this!

#Boundaries

Fantastic lesson. Has changed my life. Put everything and everyone into the right place - especially social media people. A large part of my professional and personal life is spent on social media. Very easy to blur boundaries and have blind spots about people

#Boundaries

Now I know who is who and who belongs where. Has saved me time, energy, and tears. I have more time to focus on helping people, securing the bag, and having fun

When I decide how I& #39;m going to respond to a person, I ask myself:

"Zviya munhu uyu ari chii pa nyama ye huku?"

If you& #39;re not a drumstick or a thigh, I& #39;m moving right along!

#ZimTwitter shall translate!
