I’ve been let down so many times its truly frustrating and I wonder why people can’t be more honest!
In the past I have overreacted by holding people at arms length or acting more harshly. One of my oldest friends would regularly tell his wife white lies to avoid confrontation, lying was second nature however when he started telling fibs towards me it damaged our relationship because I always doubted his authenticity and its never been the same!
On a positive note I have discovered a whole world of HSP’s who have strong values and integrity so hopefully I won’t have to manage my expectations anymore ha!
Thanks for sharing your experiences Matt and I empathise with the frustrating, painful experiences you describe. When we can use these difficult experiences for our learning, self exploration and empowerment, we hopefully reach a point of knowing our own worthiness, learning discernment and how to put in boundaries, so that we can connect with those people who do possess the traits and characteristics that we value. The outer reflecting the inner!
I am so delighted that you have discovered the whole world of HSPs. We definitely live in times where we need to "Find the Others!" (to use the words of Terence McKenna).
Thank you Genevieve, lots of wisdom in you message! Yes I total agree about reaching out and finding individuals that possess the characteristics we value. The experience of seeing the outer reflecting inner resonates. Have a great day, Matt
Thank you for sharing this! I can definitely relate to the fact that inner work is so important here. In reflection, I definitely notice repeated patterns, which definitely impact how I react to various situations.
Thank you Kelly for sharing and so pleased you relate to the importance of inner work. Absolutely, awareness of our patterns is such a key step as we can then begin to really reflect on our reactions. Thanks for signing up to The HSP Revolution. It's great to connect with you here :-)
