How Can I Relax With This Crazed Woman Screaming?
Regardless of what you say or do or what face you show to the world, your mental-emotional state cannot be concealed. Every human being emanates an energy field that corresponds to his or her inner state, and most people can sense it ...
Have you ever been in someone's presence and for absolutely no reason you could put your finger on you started feeling uptight, irritable, angry or scared?
The Donkster today posted about emotional vampires, and they are some really scary critters indeed. I want to talk to you about emotional cuckoos. You know the birds who don't raise their own young but lay their eggs on other people's nests? So the unsuspecting new parents wind up feeding the interlopers bringing more and more worms and other tasty goodies until the cuckoo baby has grown to three of four times the size of the legitimate babies at which point the cuckoo casually extends a knobby knee and kicks the other little babies out of the nest.
Well, that's what these emotional cuckoos do. They can't handle the work of their own emotions so they say things like, "I'm not angry, I'm not sad, I'm not depressed ..." even though you kind of suspect that they might be all those things. But when you aren't looking they lay their emotional eggs in your mind and spirit and the next thing you know you are emoting in ways that make no sense. Your own feelings of calm, happiness, and contentment are booted out leaving you feeling their anger, feeling their sadness while they sit there and sip iced tea.
Do you know people like that?
Live with someone like that?
May God help you.
As long as that person refuses to acknowledge or feel his or her emotional state, as long as they continue to unconsciously emanate. The best you can do is keep slipping them sleeping pills.

I am cuckoo but I have no emotions.... nope none...
hrm...an interesting theory indeed...
You certainly cannot fix other people.
Yes! Often they do not even know what they are doing - nor can admit their own feelings! And they can be so seductive - in an emotional sense...
You can raise large families but each child is precious and has their own problems. I was the third child and felt left out because the other siblings had friends their age and I didn't. Tommy Smoothers used to nag that Mom loved you best but fortunately most moms show no partiallity.
On the other hand my younger daughter always felt left out and made the parents feel guilty. Some times you have to grin and bear it...
I have experienced people like that in my life (a xangan or two, even). The fight-or-flight caught-in-the-crosshairs (or headlights) feeling is simply awful...
I personally think it takes a lot of hard work, and a perfect best friend, to keep one sane in today's crazy world...
When I am around people like that, I pray that God will protect my mind and spirit. I know exactly what you mean! I do not want other people's trash, so I try to be careful not to let them dump on me.
Lets just say I carefully try to avoid these people.
Yup! Children! We all have a child inside - and many of us spend a good deal of time trying to hide that child!
