Boundaries

Heyo,

so I kind of took a mental health day from life today and even though I had wanted to call my girlfriend in the morning and we had agreed to later in the day, by the time it got to around when she was available, I was in the living room watching movies and laughing at stuff we found on the internet. This is a fairly rare thing to happen for me so I didnt want to leave but by the time the movie was done it was too late to call. I dont feel guilty about it and my gf didnt mind at all but it really had me considering the fact that if the roles were reversed, depending on the circumstances, I might not be so understanding. Like I feel like I too often take it too personally or see it as a reflection on me because of the way people have treated me in the past.

 

I guess what I'm trying to say is I feel really guilty about the way I act sometimes and want to know if there are any possible strategies to help with coping with how I feel whilst still being respectful, and also how to stop the negative thinking patterns and taking things too personally.
