i remember being a kid, and playing with my mom (only child) and being told i take everything too far. it happened a lot. and now it's followed me into adulthood. i dont know when to stop, when I've bothered someone too much or taken a joke too far. 

its just happened with my boyfriend, i kept pushing and pushing his buttons until he got fed up and needed time away. im not sure if i was testing his limits to see how far i could go before he needed away, or if i just genuinely don't understand limits or when something has gone too far. 

anybody else experience this? how do you figure out when to stop? i thought i was good at reading people, but ive never understood this
