How I Identify Negative People As An Empath
Can’t stress how important it is to secure our space
Finding reason to justify someone’s rude behaviour is so Empath.
Sensitive souls have this tendency of seeing everyone as an extension of themselves.
Despite the world proving them time and again they are wrong.
Embracing this super vulnerable, easily manipulated soul is a difficult one but the blessing to see the world,to feel love deeply, to express art like a spiritual act makes it worth it.
And people reminding us of our sensitivity being a road block is another.
Empaths communicate through energy.
We can sense emotions, we absorb them and our body like a sponge takes it all in. Any form of toxicity affects our health, ability to think and exhausts us.
So who are these negative people?
Are they inherently bad?
Not always.
People who carry anger,resentment and any form of low vibration fall under this category.
There are also those who cherish in putting down others, bullying etc or as Carl Jung would say — the unconscious.
Staying in such connections is detrimental to an Empath’s soul.
I wanted to share 10 ways of how I tune myself to sense such people and continue to protect my space.
#1 The straight up vampire:
The first impression of them mostly is not a pleasant one. You wonder how everyone likes this person while you feel uneasy in their presence. You will be 100% right but would still give the benefit of doubt and realise in the end you were 100% right about the off-energy.
#2 The Amazing Human : You feel like you need to win their approval and subconsciously start putting them on a pedestal.
#3 The energy imbalance Expert: After having a conversation with them, you are physically and mentally exhausted — every single time.
#4 The free advice addict: They always have a strong opinion of how you should rather be living your life, they see your quirks & characters as flaws needing to be fixed. You are a project.
#5 The name Pro : They call out names for you — You are mad, you are a child, you are too sensitive for this and call you “too much”. They aren’t the right people, obviously.
#6 The Fixer: They see empaths, HSPs as a habit similar to procrastination and dole out advice to stay strong. They advise you to become normal, overcome your sensitivity because all you need is willpower.
#7 The high horse Person: You are like a cartoon character according to them.
They bring out your deepest insecurities and watch your reactions with a smirk. Your existence is an entertainment because thank God they are not this weak!
#8 The Sandwich Speaker: They speak in a passive aggressive manner. Any compliment is preceded by a jibe at your insecurities they already know. E.g.,comments like For someone with so much fears, you do drive quite well.
#9 The I Have Seen worse than this Potter :
They wait for you to show your vulnerable side by showing their personal side. But all they want to do is to discount your trauma, your feelings because they have seen much worse, survived horrors and standing strong before you.
#10 The Love Bomber:
This one is difficult because they are all praise for you, project an image of being your cheerleader. They thrive in your limelight,connections and use you to grow their worth, their energy & people strength. And throw you under the bus once your purpose is done.
Final Thoughts:
This quote by Susanna Wesley has always been my mantra and works in situations where my mind is blank for no reason:
Whatever weakens your reason, impairs the tenderness of your conscience, obscures your sense of God, takes off your relish for spiritual things, whatever increases the authority of the body over the mind, that thing is sin to you, however innocent it may seem in itself.
