Sometimes we don’t recognize what may be healthy and unhealthy. There is a fine line between realizing what is good for us and realizing what isn’t. For example, a friend you’ve had for a long time, the friendship lasting years, acts out in jealousy and tries to isolate you from everyone else, what then? Some people may not even recognize that as bad, but it’s important to know what is healthy and what isn’t. 

It’s always good to set boundaries with someone, and if you aren’t, it could result in unhealthy tendencies and unhealthy relationships with people. It’s always good to communicate about whatever is on your mind, especially if it’s bothering you. You should never let anyone control you, because otherwise, it just becomes possessive and that is never good for you. 

Don’t let any emotion take over you, and instead, talk about how you are feeling with someone. If something someone does bothers you, it’s best to speak about it. Internalizing your feelings will only make things worse and the next thing you know, you might be acting out in overwhelming anger or it might even lead you to do harmful things, which is why it’s important to keep yourself and your feelings in check, and not holding them in. If you find that the person you are trying to communicate with doesn’t understand, and dismisses your feelings then that is not a person to be around. If they treat you poorly while you try to express your feelings, then it is best to cut off contact with them.
