I've always been extremely tolerant and accepting of other people. Sometimes to my own detriment because there are a lot of people who take advantage of others.
I was taught to help others but not taught where that line is that prevents you from subjugating your own self. From time to time I thought I knew where the line might be but found it elusive. It could be because there is no distinct line and that it shifts for each relatoinship that you have.
Some people I know have lines so far ahead of themselves they can't even engage in a meaningful conversation.
I think about it a lot lately....not sure why.
