hello,

but still it feels like i'm kind of isolated from other people because maybe i don't have such "trivial" or materialistic problems and interests as they have... does any of you feel the same?

also i would like to know if you have people who are close to you like partners, friends and family members... do you speak to them about these loo-thoughts and how do they react to all of this?

i don't know if this makes any sense to you but i would appreciate your answers. thank you!

hi wanderer,

sometimes isolation is not such a bad thing if it means that you are isolated from the pain of living a materialistic existence.

as a wanderer you are obviously more sensitive to other people's feelings and energy. most of us were not born into families that appreciated our sensitivities so it is an ongoing process to realize what benefits that being sensitive has. i spent (and still do spend) a lot of time by myself because i soak up people's energy and i feel i need to shake it off to come back to my center. but in order to do this, i had to learn to like and even fall deeply in love with myself. especially, growing up with a negative spin on being sensitive. for example, the difficult relationships i have in my family stem from me speaking up when i thought others were being bullied. the bullies chalked it up to the fact that i was just difficult instead of owning up to their own actions.

but after living forty-one years, i now have a family and friends that understand the benefits of my sensitivity. my husband knows all about my interests including david wilcock and other esoteric subjects. and if i see something that might be of particular interest to him, i'll show it to him. in fact, on a recent road trip, my husband and i and our two teenaged-sons listened to science of peace as well as the three most current audio blogs by dw.

my husband also makes sure that i meet anyone that he (or we) wants to do a project with because he wants to get my "feel" for them.

as far as friends and associates go, some of them know that i believe in et's but a lot of the time my husband and i joke about it if it comes up, or joke about finding an off-grid retreat and see who's interested.

i believe it's very important to be able to be yourself around people you love. but, from my own experience, i can quickly weed out those people who won't appreciate my loving kindness.

another situation that arises, and is rarely talked about in the context of being a wanderer is that sometimes you just stumble onto a real a**hole. maybe at a social gathering or even in the supermarket, at a movie or whatever. it's usually in the context of a manager treating an employee badly, or a mother to her child, spouse to spouse etc. i cannot help myself and have to stand up for the victim. i feel like it's happening around me for a reason. i try to do it in the least confrontational way as possible. especially if it's a mother. in that case i might just say, "it seems like you are having a really bad day."

from listening to the recent "we all are one" blogs, it makes it seem that if we are loving and kind that we won't come across these a**holes. but the fact is we are put here on this earth at a time when people/wanderers or whoever needs to step up to the plate and go to bat.

best,
stacy
