Too many people are promoting selfishness and marketing it as boundries.

Inconvenience? No, what a privilege it is to be invited, involved, that someone asked for your help, that they thought of you, that they want to share with you.

The problem is when all this effort is not being reciprocated..

Drive 5 hours to your wedding? Of course. Come to your graduation but can only watch on the screen? I’ll be there, cheering. Can “only see you for 10 minutes”? I’ll cherish every second. Show 👏🏻 up 👏🏻 for 👏🏻 your 👏🏻 people 👏🏻

I think the reality is women facilitated the village in generations gone past. Now women are working full time and still expected to facilitate the whole village. Everyone is exhausted. Modern life leaves little time for people to rest and recharge.

I go out of my way, travel miles to be there for my”friends”but they don’t do same for me, something more important always comes up for them, so until I find people who are going to inconvenience themselves for me as well I’m done, it’s just gonna be me,my family and distant friends.

And it’s also about capitalism. This society model can only be sustained with individualism. Not having a community and preaching what is actually loneliness costs you money. You don’t ask someone to pick you up from the airport, you get an uber. You don’t have a team of friends to help you move, you pay a moving company. You don’t dare or want to exchange services with your family anymore, you just get baby sitters, cleaners, gardeners (that if you can even afford it!) and you meet with your kins once a month over lunch. Community is life and it’s the greatest weapon against capitalism!

People avoid community because it’s often toxic (gossip, exclusion, rigid demands for conformity etc) That is the real price communities demand for belonging. Inconvenience is NOT the price of community, it's control. Most people don't mind the kind of inconveniences you mention cause those inconviences are deeply rewarded & people love being rewarded.

I understand that but don't see any reciprocity and that is frustrating

I feel torn on this issue. For me, community begins with individual responsibility for our own lives. The problem for me is when some people do not take care of themselves and expect you to do it for them. The only mature and viable community I can imagine is one in which each member takes care of themselves and then helps others. I strive to maintain a community, but after cutting off some relationships, I am beginning to think that perhaps some people who demand community want to remain immature and childish forever. Where is the line?

I'm not gonna lie I've been isolating myself for a few months, trying to cut off the world just because I feel low and I don't wanna put that energy on anyone else. its a double edge sword though because I do care deeply about people I just find it hard to want to connect in this mindset. its habit that I will push myself out of its a balance- boundary setting and also nurturing and having and keeping connected to our loved ones x

I completely agree but in my opinion one of the reasons we see this, is because life and work have become so draining and difficult. We are losing ourselves in the modern world and we can not keep up with everything that is required from us, not socially but in a responsibility kinda way. It’s not that we don’t want to socialize (at least for me) but it’s the fact that work and modern day anxiety for everything drains everything out of us leaving us with no appetite for life. The system promotes this isolation for sure.

We overcorrected too hard. We grew up seeing our parents be people pleasers and sacrificing their own/our happiness in the interest of “what will people say?” Now we’ve gone too far in the other direction where setting our own boundaries can sometimes amount to treating our family/friends badly.

Boundaries are tools to maintain a relationship. Not to cut ppl off

Couldn’t agree more! For me it was about making sure you have a GOOD circle of friends, having 1 million friends means you empty the cup for people you don’t care about as much and then it’s too difficult when the more important people need you! Also, friendships last for life, there’s room for them nourishing you and room for them costing your energy. Friend having a divorce? It can be draining hearing about it / being there. But when you’re unwell and the same person is there sat with you, it’s balance. Then even further that balanced is built with the incredible bond
