are we olbligated
Are we obligated to satisfied another person....one whom you may be just a friend with...to answering all of their questions, including personal questions that are really none of their business? In return, they make threats if you do not and even hold you emotionally hostage.It is nice to try to be there for some people and try and understand them. But, it is another thing when they try and run over the top of you like a freight train with their self-proclaimed "warrior" perception of themselves.
Anyway....just some thoughts here.
Happy Friday all.
As a side note....a "warrior" who tries and use their words, intellect, and manipulation is nothing against a person who is not willing to play the game with them.

Mischief and Mercedes happy Friday
M4 too.......
Don't mind me I flutter around like a butterfly
Recently I ve cut ties with a few supposed friends,
But you are not obliged share anything you're not comfortable of sharing.
That is why we have inner thoughts any dreams. They are ours until if and when we choose willingly to share.
Thank you for sharing your perspective.
Bear, Likewise, thank you for sharing your perspective.
And Molly, you too. Thank you for sharing your thought.
It depends! If you and your friend had agree that you will always tell him/her your business. Did You agree to this? If So! Tell your friend your personal business. Remember you agree to: Do Tell!
If Not!
I would answer questions for family or close friends, but I wouldn't get too personal with my friends if I know it would make them uncomfortable.
If someone I'm friendly with makes me uncomfortable, I think I would take a step back and if it happens again, cut ties.
I agree with you to a certain extent. I was going to say, cutting ties after the second incident might be a bit too brash....but, you know....I think you might be on to something there. Ultimately, I think it would depend on the situation and the level of impeding behavior.
Ben.....hello. I think you are right...about creating that gap and a better mutual understanding is achieved. Some people require many gaps before the message finally sinks in. How patient is the gap giver and the perception of their boundaries being respected, I think, will determine how many gaps are given until trying to maintain the friendship is forever lost.
