if on something like giving the option of a gift of food you are like “but what if i AM crossing a boundary/being rude” i’ll share an exchange between my therapist and myself i often think of:
me: “i just want to respect their boundaries”
therapist: “you can’t respect boundaries when they haven’t expressed them. those aren’t their boundaries, those are your assumptions.”
Respecting the neighbors’ boundaries:
- Not walking on their lawn.
- Not entering their house without knocking & being invited in, even if the door is open.
- Not parking in their driveway.
- Not hosting loud parties after 10pm, especially on weekdays.
It is possible the neighbors are fine with some or all of these things, but mostly, these are near-universal boundaries, especially in US suburbs. These are things that should be negotiated in advance.
Activities that do not show disrespect for their boundaries:
- Bringing food to them to welcome them to the neighborhood.
- Smiling at them and waving hello.
- Pointing at some aspect of their yard (trees, flowers, etc.) and giving a thumbs-up sign.
- Inviting them to a holiday party.
These are all things they might not want. And if so, it’s on them to make that clear.
hey @staff what the fresh fuck is this
Don’t forget y’all that there’s a much better way for us to let Tumblr know what we think about specific changes, rather than @ ing staff or wip, and it’s sending in a support ticket and choosing feedback!
Tumblr reverted some of the asinine app decisions they made after a concerted feedback effort! So make sure to use this form! It’s what it’s for, but it’s not well advertised!
