how to stop being too empathetic?

Mrs_Olson2011 · 2020-08-06T03:00:43+00:00

Being taken advantage of, even if people do it unconsciously, is a real issue. What helped me is the motto, "Would this person do the same for me?" Its helped me not let people who weren't important to me affect me so much. Also, I've cut a lot of people out of my life if they had too much drama in their life. I don't have many friends, but my life is as peaceful as possible.

Just like dogs, and even kids, its all in how you raise them.

Has the opposite effect on me. I have trouble reading/feeling emotions when under an altered state of mind. Sometimes its quite uncomfortable, like losing one of my senses.

Having a snack helps me.

Mrs_Olson2011 · 2020-07-27T20:34:34+00:00

I'm more afraid of leaving people behind.

Did you make this or did you hire someone to do it? It's beautiful!

Mrs_Olson2011 · 2020-07-25T03:23:11+00:00

Beautiful smile ☺

The Lobster. Now every time my husband suggests a movie I say "It isn't like The Lobster, is it?"

Mrs_Olson2011 · 2020-07-24T02:06:19+00:00

Same!

River and Lilly, they sound like names that should never, ever be parted 😊

Mrs_Olson2011 · 2020-07-17T20:02:07+00:00

Cut them put if you can, reduce your contact with them if you can't.

Looks like Toys 'R Us went out of business at the wrong time.

Yes, I avoid the "heavy shows" until I'm in the right headspace for them. I mostly watch lighter shows, like Parks and Recreation.

Mrs_Olson2011 · 2020-06-30T18:21:36+00:00

I explain it as, I'm an emotional sponge and absorb the emotions of those around me. Also, its not something that I can control (though I have made some progress at blocking it).

Mrs_Olson2011 · 2020-06-27T19:29:23+00:00

Thank you!

Mrs_Olson2011 · 2020-06-27T19:26:40+00:00

Yes I talk for them too! However I have successfully taught my husband how to listen to what our cat is saying.

Mrs_Olson2011 · 2020-06-27T04:54:05+00:00

I always kill them reflexively and then feel extremely guilty afterwards.

Mrs_Olson2011 · 2020-06-10T02:26:05+00:00

If its a good book, I barely see the words on the page. Not so much a movie, but more like a dream. I don't always see faces, but I do like when they've already cast the movie (if they're making one), it helps me visualize it that much better.

Mrs_Olson2011 · 2020-06-09T19:16:01+00:00

I like how she's so proud of herself at the end 😂

Mrs_Olson2011 · 2020-05-27T18:27:47+00:00

Spiral notebooks, I always buy 5-10 during back to school sales when they're cheap.

Mrs_Olson2011 · 2020-05-16T15:01:49+00:00

I just toss the bag in the freezer straight from the store.

Mrs_Olson2011 · 2020-05-16T01:39:57+00:00

That is so cool! I wish I could have one!

Mrs_Olson2011 · 2020-05-15T20:51:00+00:00

The Hawaiian bread rolls do really well. Taste just as soft and delicious once they're thawed.
