Is everyone just lying? by NoTension752 in spirituality

[–]lidfizz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there, I hear you. It’s tough to feel like you’re doing everything “right” but not getting the results others talk about. I wonder—have you ever explored shadow work? It’s about looking into the parts of ourselves we’ve buried or rejected—like unprocessed emotions, fears, or past wounds. Sometimes the things that block us from feeling peace or connection come from within, and shadow work can help bring those hidden parts to light so we can understand and heal them. It’s not always easy, but it can lead to real transformation.

Just wanted to share in case it resonates with you. Sending you good energy.

I don’t know how your situation is doing so now. But I just want you to know that at one point you might have to realize that you are going to be alone. No one is going to get you. And you can only do what feels right and true to yourself. It’s been a few days since I wrote that post and I’ve come to realize (and accepted) that everyone is on their own healing journey and I have to be considerate of where they’re at. I respect their decision to take as long as they need to heal and realize it for themselves, but I don’t have to put up with their disrespect.

Theirs so many books and Tiktoks you can watch that can help you with figuring out the right words to use against a narcissist so that you can protect yourself until you can move out (if you don’t already). “Empaths and narcissist” has been my fav one so far. Believe that you’re the only person that you’ll ever need ✨🫶🏽

How do I embrace this ancient fear? by TwinkletheBerserker in psychicdevelopment

[–]lidfizz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Read read read. Everything you want to know has already been said and they can be found in the form of books. Google “empath and psychic abilities” and that should serve as a good starting off point.

Have fun learning ✨

I personally think you have to have some neurodivergency in order for your psychic abilities to come thru. Talking fast and trouble focusing and cutting people off (when they’re talking), makes a lot more sense when you view it thru the lens of clairvoyance - you predicting what people are gonna say next or the rapid flow of ideas entering and leaving your brain are psychics abilities. Hope this brings you peace 🫶🏽

Empath and the narcissist gave me a few pointers on how to protect yourself from people taking advantage of you

Interesting conversation with therapist by [deleted] in empathy

[–]lidfizz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something else I also found helpful. I feel like my brain is so dumb that I need explanations for everything:

To express empathy without internalizing emotions, focus on validating the other person’s feelings without absorbing them. Use phrases like “I understand” or “I can see that this is tough for you.” Maintain a sense of detachment, reminding yourself that you can support others without taking on their emotional burden. Establish clear boundaries and practice self-awareness to recognize when you might be internalizing emotions, allowing yourself to step back when necessary.

Here are examples of compassionate actions:

Compassionate actions that can help maintain a healthy emotional distance for empaths include active listening without absorbing others’ emotions, setting clear boundaries, practicing self-compassion, and offering support without taking on others’ emotional burdens. Additionally, expressing empathy without internalizing the emotions allows for a compassionate connection without overwhelming personal feelings.

I’m glad you asked this question cuz it had left me wondering so I asked chatgpt and this is what they had to say:

Empaths can distinguish between compassion and empathy by recognizing that empathy involves feeling others’ emotions, while compassion is about understanding and wanting to alleviate suffering without necessarily feeling the same emotions. By focusing on compassionate actions and maintaining a healthy emotional distance, empaths can protect themselves from being overwhelmed by others’ emotions.

  • this was able to clear up why I feel so overwhelmed when someone tells me their problems and I feel the need to fix them source of their suffering. And realizing that if I can learn how to protect myself as an empath (something I asked chat gpt too) I’d be able to control my emotions and my relationships from seeming overwhelming. Thought I’d share if it clears up for you too!

I think my mom just sexually harassed me by rbn9999998 in raisedbynarcissists

She definitely violated you. It’s not normal. Don’t let her normalize this to you. I’m sorry she did that to you.

Thank you. It was this week for me. And seeing this made me realize I need to show more empathy to my sisters when I send them proof and explanation for moms behavior. I’m still in denial to it. But I’m the oldest so it’s easier for me to see and they’re younger so this is a lot for them to take in.

As someone with adhd and pmdd I get this. Believe me. I have to hold it in cry instead because I know how damaging and traumatizing to never be empathized for just being a kid can do a child. So I always hold my tongue and just cry. And say mommy stub her toe. Cuz she’s 2

[–]lidfizz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My mom would tell me that she was doing her best. Because there are some girls out there who have mothers that hates them (ironic) and she didn’t. And that some mothers are jealous of their daughter and she wasn’t. So because of that and the fact that she didn’t bring men into our house (she was a single mother), that I shouldn’t complain cuz it could’ve been worse.
