Empowering Yourself as an Empath / Highly Sensitive Person, Finding Strength and Letting Go of Mental Baggage when Forced to Stand up to People in a Sometimes Pushy and Unfeeling World

Surviving Empathy

I've been feeling just a little bit "sigh, meh" for the past couple of days, so I thought it was a great time to just talk with you guys about those times when I have to turn from a gentle old soul and empath to a fighter and sometimes straight up asshole when you're forced to get real with unsavory folks who aren't so respectful of us or right to exist. I'll tell you some of the tricks and tips I've learned when dealing with mean, rude, arrogant, or unfeeling people out there. You know, those "society people" we have to associate with, but have nothing in common with and have no real desire to associate with, but have no choice but to deal with?! This episode is an off the cuff straight talk pep talk, where I explain what empaths have to go through, the emotional baggage after an uncomfortable encounter, how the world out there sometimes makes us feel, and what we must do sometimes when life forces us to deal with not so nice people out there. Sometimes life forces us out of our comfort zone, and to behave in ways we don't desire to be. Where we have to "go there" in ways we don't like, and find our "inner gangsta" when forced to drop our usual kind demeanor and gentle sensibilities and to "get real" in order to protect ourselves from hurtful and insensitive types of people. It doesn't happen a lot, but every now and then you have to set the record straight and get some people to understand that you aren't their doormat. All in the day in the life of a civilization that's sometimes losing its kindness, joy, and fun loving nature.
