💪 💯 spot on. this is how I also operate. I also noticed some people are getting subtle at crossing boundaries. it starts with little "joke only". Then it becomes a pattern — making a joke at your expense. if you are not attentive to it, it can be a sign of passive aggressive. regardless, it is better to catch them in the act and ask them of their behaviour if they intend to do x or y. This put the court back at them. I am with you when giving people the chance after you communicated your boundary. 🫂
But sometimes, if they always drain you, good riddance is your best shot. It's better to spend your energy to those who deserve your company — the one that uplifts you and keep you growing. ☺️
