What line should someone never cross with you?

Taking something without asking me first. Doesn't matter if it's food, money, supplies, equipment... if you need something, ask and I will be glad to lend it or give it, but take it/borrow it from me in a sneaky manner and you immediately get banished from my trust zone.

@InquireWithin

I can totally relate InquireWithin, I am the same. It feels disrespectful when people just take without asking.

Sunshine4691 December 11th, 2020

@InquireWithin I must also agree. This came to me almost instantly as I was reading the question. Very little gets my goat, but when I discover someone has taken something of mine and not asked first, it takes quite a bit of control to not go into red brain! Interesting that it's hitting a note with a few of us. I wonder if it's a generational thing?🤔

@Sunshine4691 I am not sure if it is generational. The older I get the more I realize how much damage I do to myself when I get into a rage. It is not true power. Remaining calm like in the eye of the storm is.

@amiablePeace77

Hello Ami, what a beautiful picture!

Thanks for the thread.

I think that to fake niceness with me (or any sugar-coating behaviour) is something that can let me decide to stop interacting with the person. Sort of breaking line.

Have a nice weekend ahead!

@LoveMyRotty

I hear you, it is not nice feeling that someone does not really mean it in a nice way but that there might be an intention behind it.

@amiablePeace77

Yes Ami, I was referring to situations in which the reason behind that are not nice, to be a break point.

Don't lie to me. It hurts so much more than the truth - even if that truth is painful.

Funny answer: the ice cream line ! lol

I try not to have trigger lines but like everyone else I try to maintain the community guidelines.

I get you, the community guide lines are lines which should be taken seriously.

Like your ice cream line laugh

What line should someone never cross with you?

I don't like it when someone assumes that they know how I feel.

There are other things I don't like - I don't like to be touched by other men - don't ever put your arm around my shoulders or anywhere else unless you're female.

Don't call me a liar.

I hear you, it's annoying when a different person tells you how you feel whilst in fact they have no clue!
