Learning of the day#29. Invading boundaries.
Today walakser called and asked point blank how much money you had when you start travel. Something similar to sohail’s home guy.
I don’t want to answer it. I don’t have any strong reason not to. I was unsure and now I am kind of polarized. I don’t want to share financial info. Once you passed this info other person is free to distribute it any way he or she likes our use it. Second the reason walasker was asking because even if he is not aware, he is comparing and want to prove himself to himself and me.
Interestingly I tried to justify myself. Because it is not helpful and then debating on that reason. Then walasker was also accusing me, making guesses, toning down the request. And praising me at the same time. The situation was fairly complex.
Now what was required is a flat no. I don’t want to share this info. If don’t want to I don’t need to. I don’t want to share this info. I can advice you on how much you need to live where, but I don’t want to share information like this. No reason I just don’t want to.
This is setting boundaries.
