I suck at saying goodbye to people. I used to simply vanish from folks' lives like it didn't have any consequences until I realized that's a huge boundary breach to not say goodbye when leaving. But today I had to say goodbye to a friend I shared a lot of game time with. We had a lot of neat adventures. We had a small group together of 4. Then 3. Then 2. Then 3. Then 4. Then 2. Myself and them. I was always the one to be consulted to strategize on how to handle the others. I would be consulted about conflicts I wasn't there for, but in ways that asked me for deep personal advice that... honestly should have been reserved for their husband? For an hour in the middle of my day unplanned? Like an emergency? Ultimately, I was the one who said "yes" and showed up for it. I failed to hold a boundary. People see my lack of boundaries and are like, "Oh sick, this guy wants me all up in their boundaries." Since I'm working on this, I've at least sent them my goodbye.
