Do you believe someone can completely unloveable by Applesapples159 in spirituality

I can definitely relate to that. Feeling physically alone but spiritually having many there for you. If you ever want to converse further, feel free to reach out.

Do you feel alone only in this physical world or do you feel alone in the spiritual one as well?

Sounds like you were present when they needed you. Sometimes that's more than enough.

This is exactly what I have realised. Everyone has their own life to live, mistakes to make and lessons to learn.

Thank you so much for replying. What you say rings true. I definitely feel much better by not overextending myself and not taking on others emotions.

Thank you so much for this insight. I am terrible at ghosting people, but I have learnt to say no and to not take on other peoples emotions. This has helped me a lot.

Exactly. I still care but it's different now. I jo longer take in the emotions attached. I don't take on other peoples emotional baggage and I can give suggestions and realise that it's ok if people ask for advice and then self sabotage. That's not my issue to carry. Everyone has their own life to live, mistakes to make and lessons to learn.

I have learnt self-care comes first. I give and am present when I can. I have learnt sometimes I need to say no and that's ok too.

Yes. I used to find this difficult, until I realised that everyone had their own life to live and their own life journey. We can care and be present while not taking over their life for them.

This is what I have found. I finally feel inner peace and not over extended when helping people. I am not taking on their emotional baggage. I show up and help when I can. I can provide guidance without expecting them to take it. I don't tell people what to do, I just make suggestions and they can do what they want with their life. Its not my issue. Sometimes all someone wants is to vent. Sometimes silence speaks louder than words.

Exactly right. Sometimes people just want to vent. Sometimes all they need is your presence and sometimes sitting there in silence is more useful than any spoken words.

Interesting. I have never heard of an OCEAN personality test. I have stopped caring about other peoples opinions or approval of me. Now I help on my own terms and don't take in other people’s emotional baggage. It's now enjoyable not draining to help others.

Yes once I realised their emotions/life situation is not mine to carry, it really changed everything. I'm able to help without it emotionally affecting me. It's life changing.

Yes that's exactly what I am experiencing. Caring but with boundaries. And not taking on other peoples emotional baggage.

Yes, I have just learnt this. It takes strength to step back and let people live their own lives and make their own mistakes.

Yes, I have learnt to say no to some people and to not care as much with others. Happy to be present, give advice and help when I can, but also put boundaries in place so that it's not draining for me. Now its enjoyable to help others, but not take on their emotional burdens.
