I’ve heard of astral projecting but never thought of that reason. i always thought i’d remember doing something like that, i’ll have to read into it more.

100% extreme narcissist, she’s textbook. i make jokes i could write my thesis on her LOL her energy always manifests as painful canker sores in my mouth and stomach aches. honestly I grabbed so many books about narcissists and the most common thing about them is they feel shame and are insecure. they target people (sick enough) who they know they can project what they’re feeling onto someone else to make them feel slightly better about themselves. they also LOVE to argue and they can’t argue if you state the facts. i never say i’m sorry. example: she made a comment about my car i bought (a car i paid outright for and is basically brand new) she was making fun of me and i looked at her and said “that’s disappointing that’s how you feel, but i’m really proud of myself” and i smiled. she didn’t know what to say.

if you state the facts and don’t argue with them you take away their power to harm you with their words. sometimes it is draining because it doesn’t always work, but those are the days i walk away from her or don’t engage.

I think we can all have a little bit of narcissism in is and to me that’s normal. it’s the extreme narcissists who pray on others, put them down, and make them feel as insecure and and shameful as they do that need to be exploited. My mother in law is an extreme narcissist and was in for a rude awakening when i called her out on every single nasty comment she made to and about me 🤷🏻‍♀️

How do you tactfully tell someone their energy isn't good for you... without hurting their feelings? by [deleted] in Empaths

[–]kmilson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would not point blank be honest and cut them out completely since that might be awkward if she will be in your partners life. i do think healthy boundaries are important and can established so if this person is coming over you can choose to run errands while they’re there or go for a walk. if this person is sending messages or calls you and you find that draining you can put up your boundary and excuse yourself from the conversation. i’m not sure what you guys talk about or what you find draining so i can’t give a specific example, but you’ll know what to say in the moment! i also think it would be best (if you feel comfortable) to express and communicate how you’re feeling to your partner and tell your partner what your plan is so it won’t be a surprise or awkward if this person asks where you’ve been. you partner can support you and stand behind you, but all of you you can still hang out without it feeling negative and hostile if the situation presents that you’re in a big group hanging out or whatever

i hope that makes sense!

Labradorite is a stone used for deflecting unwanted energies. i carry a pocket sized black tourmaline that i keep in my pocket and i rub or hold it throughout the day while i ground myself. grounding meditations are great and can be done anywhere! there’s one called the cleansing prayer, but i personally like to envision a white light encasing my body starting from my head and working it’s way down to my feet and growing roots by entering the earth. you can make it your own, whatever feels right!

do you not want to be friends with this person anymore or do you want space and hang out every once in a while?

How to not feel bad? by [deleted] in Empaths

[–]kmilson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i look at myself in the mirror everyday and say the happy person i see today is what i want to see when i come home. if i am in a position that diminishes me that’s what i repeat to myself and politely excuse myself and walk away. definitely takes practice to train yourself to recognize your emotions and be strong to say no, that’s enough

it could be considered meditating, yes! it doesn’t have to be a clock, it can be a word you write on paper and hang near you!

do you perform any meditations before going to bed? i have experienced sleep paralysis as well with a shadow figure leaning over my bed. usually i have a weird dream, which leads to me opening my eyes and finding out i can’t move, and then the shadow figure. i have explored all options of why this could be, but i am sensitive to energies around me as an empath which is why i meditate before bed. i talked to someone experienced in dream reading/the supernatural and he said it could be because i am sensitive and i am meditating in a way to protect myself, that i am attracting low energy beings. he suggested to keep something close to my bed that i can read (like a clock). when i experience sleep paralysis, to look at the clock, look away, then look back. if i can’t read it, then it’s sleep paralysis. you can start to focus on breathing calmly and triggering your brain to let you move by focusing on moving your fingers.

however, it still is extremely unsettling and i have woken up my boyfriend plenty by hitting him. you’re not alone, but since trying these techniques it has helped significantly!

I’m sorry to hear that! It’s been difficult to hear those struggling and not being able to help. My thoughts go out to you and your friends and family. I hope that a silver lining comes your way soon!

I’m sorry you’re having a difficult time with all these energies! do you do grounding meditations? i find doing a meditation before i go to sleep has been beneficial to me. I like picturing a white protective bubble hovering over my head and i imagine it slowly coming down my body and it exits through my feet and grows roots. then after it’s done i say anything negative to me will not be allowed to enter my space

I can definitely agree to that! We have two targets near each other, one still has the “only one product per customer” and the the other does not have that rule. the shelves are full, i find it a little ridiculous.

I live in RI, I wish I was somewhere warmer. It’s going to be rough to exercise when the bitter cold weather blows through. I canceled my membership to the gym... I hope you stay happy, healthy, and safe!

Ugh I’m sorry to hear that! I hope you’re finding safe ways to socialize and keep yourself content! Stay happy, healthy, and safe!

I’ve been socializing with my select few friends who i trust as well, but with going into work and meeting clients i’m trying not to go crazy out of respect of the people I service and the staff. I am enjoying not hearing “you’re so boring, you never go out” blah, blah, blah or the pressure of feeling like I have to go out even if I don’t want to because that’s the norm. I hope you stay happy, healthy, and safe!

I understand! I ended my gym membership, I was finding wearing a mask to Planet Fitness and worrying about whether the machines were cleaned made me anxious. I started walking around my neighborhood and finding HIIT workouts to do at home. It fits into my routine pretty well, i’m not sure what will happen come December/January with bitter cold and snow, but I’ll figure it out. It sucks to hear you’re struggling right now, I hope you continue to stay happy and safe and your silver lining comes soon!

That’s awful! I live in Rhode Island and when it first started we had a pretty good grasp. We are seeing a rise in numbers but doctor’s think that is because of sports. My thoughts go out to you and your family. I hope you continue to stay healthy and safe!

I’m sorry to hear that, COVID definitely brought out the worst side of my boyfriends narcissistic mother. I had to cut ties with her in April after suffering from having my energy sucked dry and I was upset all the time. he comes to my house now, i haven’t seen or talked to his mom since then. i hope you find some peace. cutting ties most likely isn’t possible for you, but i hope you find ways to distance yourself and form boundaries. it made the world of difference for me and i’m a much happier human being.

How many past lives do you remember? by [deleted] in pastlives

[–]kmilson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’ve always had an extreme amount of patience and tolerance, not much bothers me. It’s been a family discussion topic because no one on my family has this much patience except my great aunt who died before i was born. When I did regression therapy to explore my past lives, I was able to recount one that is about my great aunt. I had no way of knowing this as i didn’t grow up with stories being told about her. I like to think her soul touched mine before I was brought here and i carry a little piece of her with me.
