“ACTING RESPONSIBLE FOR SOMEONE OFTEN LOOKS LIKE: Assuming you know what they think. Trying never to upset them. Instantly dropping everything to help them. Trying to manage their distress. Telling them how to function. Teaching others how to interact with them. Discouraging their independent functioning. BEING RESPONSIBLE TO SOMEONE COULD LOOK LIKE: Being curious about their thinking. Being honest about your interests, beliefs, and challenges. Showing up for important events. Letting them know when something isn’t okay. Respecting the boundaries they set. Being responsible for managing your own distress. Letting others be in charge of themselves. Promoting their independent functioning.”
