I have a difficult time any time an empath approaches me to give too much of themselves. I have a bad time because I feel my boundaries are being crushed.
I have already tried telling them that what they are doing does not make any sense because they are not helping me. They get rather sad, and they make me feel bad for refusing their presents and the unnecessary help. Telling them that I don't need that kind of help and to better focus on something else they need more, it did not cause a positive reaction on them so far. They keep with the same automatic pilot on doing the same over and over again. I don't get any change on them.
There are so many videos from Richard now that he might have the answer somewhere, but I can't find it. Any suggestions on how to challenge these ideas on them? They are close relatives, so it is difficult to avoid.
Thank you.
