Boundaries

I have realized this before but have never really done anything about it. In my life i have done so many things that others expected of me, sometimes being fine with it and other times feeling resentment. I am a people pleaser and I admit it. I am also working on having a healthier attitude about it. I now have dreams and have been able to implement the fact that i am a separate person than anyone. Others will demand or ask things of me and i can say no. Their response is their problem. I have lived too many years not forming a life of my own because i didn't want to rock the boat. What kind of life is that? As i look back there are many things i have done that have been wonderful but other things i have chosen not to do because my life having purpose might interrupt someone else's life. I need to be available all the time for what others want, was my mindset. So i didn't engage myself in other activities because my dreams might cause me to have to say no to something someone else wants me to do. I gave them power over me. That is being co-dependent, right? Walking on egg shells to make others comfortable. Making others uncomfortable because of my goals is not a bad thing, in and of itself. I am not talking about being selfish but have healthy boundaries. I am tired of living my life how others want me to. Yes, of course, i would like to go play doing something fun, but i have a goal to get an A in my class so i have to spend time doing homework, even if it isn't when you want me to do it. It might need to get done when you have time to do something else. And that needs to be okay that I can't do it too. And i might take longer then you think i "should" be taking, so be it. I need supporters not naysayers that say i take too long or it disrupts their desires for my life and when they want me to be available.
