we as a society should be moving away from judging people on physical credentials, however. Especially when they do not affect their moralistic standings. Fitting an aesthetic motif is not the only measure of character.

Evolution has created an unnecessary and frankly false biological fear of fraudulent humans, insincere emotions, and imposters. In a society clearly lacking those innate predators, we loosely superimpose their traits onto outlying groups who actually need support.

That instinct has severely corrupted our moral compass, typically when aimed at each other. We should be able to overcome this blatant evolutionary shenanigan. We are intelligent beings after all.

IT’S IMPORTANT TO SET BOUNDARIES

recovering-and-healing:

Recognize and respect your own needs, desires, and comfort zone.
Boundaries are critical for sustaining any respectful and fulfilling relationship. We all need boundaries.

Some people are so concerned with pleasing others, they don’t check in with their inner compass to find out what their own needs are—a need for respect, quiet, personal power, support, kindness, solitude, free choice, etc. The earlier you are aware of your own comfort zone, the less likely you will let people go too far.
