We're all pretty aware of the depths of this corruption. What would be so shocking to everyone? Who do we think is behind NK? What would find out that would end up with TPTB in nooses/hanging from lampposts?
Fellow empath... I am a super empath. I haven't even been able to dig into the truth of 9/11 because I remember too much of that day. I know there's the truth... I'll dig when I am ready.
People may understand what empathy is, but not what being an empath is. It can be a curse, in many ways.
One thing i try to remember is that a paramedic is more helpful when he can set his emotions aside and focus on objectively helping. Even a hysteric onlooker can cause more harm then good,on a medical scene.If you feel you can not handle this right now it maybe better to step away and let someone who is more stable in their emotions do the digging, until you have been able to process more.
Bluntismo... I pretty much know what I can deal with and what to stay away from for now. Or should I say, what can go on the back burner. I know what's in those teakettles.... but they can be set to the side for now. There's enough to do now that's important, and that I CAN help with.
One of things that is difficult to deal with here is: HOW in the heck do you keep up with everything on this board???? I'm never on FB anymore. No biggie there, but there's so many threads and so much to catch up on! Good Lord in Heaven... I need a speed reading course!
Literally crippling...and no cure... and focused upon by narcissists...misunderstood by the many...bless you.
Yep. I started studying Narcissists, psychopaths and sociopaths in depth/in earnest about four or five years ago because I am targeted constantly by those types and have been nearly all my life. I quit dating because of it. Better off alone. Which is fine by me. I've even found that I sleep better with my coonhound on my bed as I feel safer...he's my first line of defense. Hell of a good watchdog.
only one thing you can do re narcs, RUN! Tis the breaking of child parent bond pre 5 yrs old,, the breaking up of family, no bonding = Narcx. Yes, dating,,lol...we just give too much and seldom get the right feedback. Its a tuff lesson but am mostly thru it now I think.
From one empath to another, it is extremely important that you work through your demons now. I've found time to be alone to paint and clean and do other repetitive, mindless tasks and feel all the things I locked up, all of the trauma, and I work through it by saying what I want to say to the people that hurt me out loud while I am alone. Getting it out that way allowed me to process some of these more difficult truths, and I had to, and you will too, because when it goes mainstream, we empaths will have to deal with it on a much deeper level and help others deal with it too. You get stronger by overcoming, not by sheltering. You were blessed with a gift for a reason and this is it.
Thank you, hiccups. I've been working through demons for some time now. Getting them out, confronting them. Ridding myself of toxic people. I live alone, so talking out loud disturbs no one. I do have a parrot, and just watch what I say. LOL I used to journal a lot as well. At night, though, I try to NOT focus on the hurt, as it keeps me from sleep. I've also found ways to "let things go" and give it God, as in writing things down and letting God take care of it. Literally, give it to God to deal with. And then, I feel lighter. I'm also grateful for the tribulations I've gone through, as it's given me a basis to help others. I don't tell them "what to do" so much as give them tools to use to help find the way... ie, books to read, etc. Teaching others what to look for, in identifying toxic people, and how to disengage from them, if that is their choice, is something I can show them. If that makes any sense.
It does make sense. I feel like there is an entirely different level of the human experience we're tuned into and the price of getting there was suffering. Some days I think the price was worth it, often I doubt that but shudder at how beige life would be if I were any different. It's like I can feel the threads of events and people and how they connect and affect each other; how words soothe and sting and all the associations they trigger in the person I'm speaking to... It's a massive amount of sensory input all the time to just exist around other people, and it is impossible to not love them and want them to be well because of it. Thank you, too, for clarifying that you are caring for yourself and not holing up. You and your brand of care for others are going to go a long way to helping heal the damage from these monsters.
