Boundaries

How to keep healthy boundaries in your relationships

How Rude....
I am concerned that many people are allowing common place MANNERS to go by the way side in their every day lives. I have had several readings lately where the caller simply HUNG up on me when they may not have liked the answers they were getting and abruptly ended the call.....And you are left holding the phone???
Don't do that to your reader...IF you want to end the call, simply tell the reader you feel the reading is not going as you had hoped and end the call while still being CIVIL, there is no cost for being mannerly to your reader....just as there is no cost in the reader being civil to you..
When having a conversation on line, in instant message or a conversation on facebook, they simply log off and do not finish the conversation??? When on earth did this become okay? If I get kicked off line, I come back and tell the person what happened. Or I email them to let them know what happened. I just still disbelieve when people do that and many seem to think its okay maybe because it's online? And being on line it separates reality for them? What we should never forget is that there is a real human being behind the computer screen who has real feelings....
There is no cost in also being mindful of other readers while you are writing blogs....there is simply NO need to hog the blogs and write blog after blog so that your blogs are all over the first page of blogs because that takes away from the ability of callers to read and notice the  blogs of others. We all have something to say and perhaps it is not my place to comment on such things, I thought that there was an unwritten code of ethics among readers so they would not abuse their ability to have the space to share their words of wisdom with their potential callers. Blog after blog written by the same reader loses its impact, loses it's abilty to get a message across...or perhaps its just me that particular thing occurs when I see multiple blogs by the same reader, I simply ignore them and will not read them...
Or maybe it IS just ME ? No offense meant here to anyone else on here, just my thoughts on how manners is and continues to take a back seat these days and me lamenting that fact...

Dear Joan:

When I see Advisor's hogging the front page of the blogs with numerous blogs, one after the other I immediately think that this is a person that I don't want to know therefore I ignore their blogs also.  I think this practice on Keen shows how far some will go to get attention at the expense of others.  The sad part of it is that perhaps the blogs might be well received if they hadn't shown such disregard for others.

Maybe it is not my place to comment but we all have something valuable to say that might touch one person or another that could help them, speak to them in a way or give them a message they need at that time. Something to say that touches others is what some of us strive to achieve in writing these blogs apart from who might call us, moreover decide whom not to call when they have read them...it's a personal choice but I choose to be mindful of others and what they have written when I blog..that's how I roll ( blog :-)
