Feeling Out of Place?


Free Relationship Advice, from Relationship-Oneness.com
This guy looks like he went through the wrong door, and ended up on stage when he was really just looking for the pool. Do you ever find yourself feeing out of place? I know I have, and at times it led to moments of anxiety where I would just walk out without finishing a conversation.

My Anxious Self:

I have to laugh at myself here a little bit because I’m known as somewhat of an entertainer, I’ve been on stage in a promotion role, entertained groups of people with magic, and have had thousands of people hear my voice live over the radio on a consistent basis. So I find it funny that today 5 years later, when in large crowds, I get all discombobulated and feel completely out of my element. I’m sure that if I was so inclined, it would be easy to find some pill to help put me in an apathetic state to ease my discomfort. But I don’t. Why? Because it seems to me that this experience of social anxiety is there for a reason, and to avoid the message means I may never gain insight into a deeper truth about myself.

In your relationship with your children, do you play the “Victim Parent”? I ask this question because all throughout the week, I come across individuals who constantly complain that there children have it out for them or how they’re treated poorly.

While observing the “Victim Parents”, I noticed the communication that goes on between parent vs child and came up with some conclusions. First, I believe often times the way we speak and treat our children is exactly how our children will treat us in return. If we’re yelling and screaming as a way to communicate with kids, more than likely we’ll get the same sort of treatment from them.Our children may not yell and scream back at us, but it will manifest in other ways, such as; being defiant, full of resentment, having little or no trust for you, violence, etc. I’ve noticed that with the “Victim Parents”, they talk down about their children to others and use mocking language to show they’re boss.

emotional vampireDo you ever feel your energy being drained when hanging around certain individuals? Is it always about them and their problems? Is there constant negativity? I like to call these energy drainers Emotional Vampires. Yes, that’s what I said…..Vampires!  They will suck the life right out of you without you being aware of it!

The first thing I notice when hanging around someone new, a family member, or longtime friend, are the words they use.  How much of the conversation is directed upon themselves?  Do I feel drained after speaking with them?  Do I feel this relationship is beneficial to my emotional well being?  Ask yourself these questions and see what you come up with.

Most of us have at least one or more Emotional Vampires in our lives without even being conscious of it. It could be a spouse, partner, parent, boss, co-worker, friend, etc. They exist everywhere!  Emotional Vampires get their fix by feeding off of your emotions…..that’s how they survive.
