For me, I refuse to play along. I don’t buy or feed into the drama. Retaliating will only add fuel to the fire. What costs them nothing, costs me loads of emotional energy. Instead, I do my own thing and enjoy myself as much as I can. And I don’t take their words and actions personally. It's just a waste of my time if I dwell on it. Instead I focus on my well being.Some of my best memories and inspirations come from days spent solo. 11/28/2018 06:19:52 pm
@top rated resumes: You are wise to disengage from any abusive individual- whether a family member, colleague, friend or lover... Abuse is not ok, no matter who it comes from... befriending yourself with self compassion is a great way to connect with worthiness and reduce any internal shame that might have transpired as a result of trauma-- the happiest people are ok with their solitude and autonomy but also able and willing to connect in a healthy way with vulnerability to authentic connections with safe, healthy others. We are social creatures. We heal from relational trauma by allowing safe others in to our hearts, so that we can do the work of healing. It is a courageous act. Best wishes to you. A.
