[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm just wondering if anyone has experienced other people using the concept of "setting boundaries" as a[b] broad weapon[/b] to get their way.[/quote]

Honestly, you don't seem to think much of your sister and I am confused why you even want to spend that much time with her. Your choice of words makes me wonder. If a loved one told me she didn't feel the relationship was healthy and she was setting healthy boundaries I would back off. If I thought she was nuts and even after giving her space she was unhappy I would find the level of interaction where you can just be pleasant and not feel uncomfortable. You seem to refuse to see that someone could be unhappy in a relationship with you, if you think things are fine.

I have not had anyone tell me they need more boundaries with me, but I also pay attention to cues. If I invite a family member or friend to get together and the person declines more than once, I leave the ball in that person's court. If someone seems uncomfortable around me and interactions feel forced, I give the person space.[/quote]
