No one has authority to define your boundaries for you. You decide what makes you happy or uncomfortable or upset. Whether another person agrees with how you feel is unimportant. Completely unimportant. You have no duty to them. You need not explain why you feel the way you do. There are clouds in the sky and water in the ocean because that’s just how it is. You feel the way you do because you do. Whelp! That’s it.
