CHASE HUGHES: Real boundaries don't argue. They don't convince, and you're not performing. Real boundaries are stated, and then pause, and then move on. No story. No defense. No emotional charge.

Chase Hughes on "Standing Up for Yourself."

Standing up for yourself usually makes things worse.  Here's why.  Most people think standing up for themselves means explaining more, raising their voice, or proving they were right.  That is escalation.  

The moment you push back emotionally, you trigger threat: identity threat, control threat, or safety threat, sometimes all at once.  The brain stops listening.  The nervous just takes over and now you're not setting a boundary, now you're getting into a fight.  That's why things blow up so fast.  You defend your tone, they attack your character.  You explain your intent, they rewrite your meaning.  You ask for respect, they hear a challenge.  

So standing up for yourself the common way turns into a threat.  

Here's what actually happens under the hood.  Explaining signals uncertainty.  That uncertainty invites pressure justifying signals that we can negotiate and that invites domination.  So emotional intensity always signals a loss of control, and loss of control invites escalation.  So the louder you get the less Authority you have and the longer you talk they have the more room Twisted they have to twist it that is why manipulator love it when you stand up for yourself it gives them material.  

Real boundaries don't argue.  They don't convince, and you're not performing. Real boundaries are stated, and then pause, and then move on.  No story.  No defense.  No emotional charge.  And the part that people miss is when you stand up for yourself correctly, reasonable people adjust immediately.  Unreasonable people will escalate.

I wouldn't care if they were champion taxpayers. They are not us and they've got to go.
