What's the point of saying no?

So for a long time people never respected my boundaries. My little brother who is 11 made few sexual comments towards me which weirded me out. He promised me he would stop, but didn't. I know siblings tend to tease eachother, but my brother has absolutley zero respect for me. I feel like he only cares for me when i'm gone or when i do something nice for him.

It may sound controversial, but i think i'm slowly getting more and more grossed out by my best friend. I never told or showed her that, but sometimes she says such not funny and sometimes rude things that i can't help but feel a huge ick. She barely respects my boundaries and makes sexual or SA jokes about me or my body. I told her no hundrets of times and she never cares. She is also fully aware of how sensitive that topic is for me. Again she doesn't care if i feel uncomfortable. Her words tend to hurt me sometimes.

I don't know how to make them respect my boundaries, any advice?

Hi @Dobby777.

You are suffering from dealing with significant disrespect 😪 

It may be a good idea to find better people to spend time with..

As for your brother that is definitely bizarre.. I hope you can try whatever you can do to get distance from him and since he won't respect you I think you might be implying that your parents aren't preventing him from being kind of crude.

We support your struggle here and I admire your courage to come forward and expose the corruption in your life.. keep fighting for respect 🙏
