Do you believe in fairy tales?
⠀
There's one that most people believe in.It is that if you are bad and hence behave badly, you will either be punished or, what's worse, rejected.
⠀
Fear of being rejected and punished is usually activated when you need to assert your limits, defend yourself, prioritize your needs, set your expectations and attitudes.
⠀
Why is it so scary?Because at this point you are looking at the situation through the eyes of a frightened child, not as an adult.
⠀
Who can punish the adult?
Who can abandon him?
Can anyone abandon a self-sufficient person who knows how to take care of her or himself and take responsibility for her/his own life?
How is it possible to punish someone who knows how to set boundaries?
⠀
That's right, no way.
