Emotional Drive-by’s (How to Recognize Them and Protect Yourself)


peace infinite waters diving deep once
again how to deal with the emotional
drive by can I get a Hello so what
happens when you’re just sitting there
or you’re walking along someone pulls up
to you and shouts at you for no reason
they scream at you for no reason they
dump their emotional baggage on to you
for no reason you have just been a
target of an emotional drive by and many
people are empaths they absorb other
people’s energy very easily and what I
call the driver is aware of this so I’m
going to share with you what’s helped me
along my journey I want you to take your
mind back into ancient China now you had
a very powerful general everyone in the
village was intimidated by him he would
insult people cuss people out and every
single person he met had a jewel with
him and the general always won because
his words hit harder and people feared
him nobody wanted to come across this
general so he was very pompous walking
around full of pride and arrogance and
then one day he came across an old man
why is it always an old man I don’t know
and he said ah look at this foolish old
man and he started hurling insults at
this old
man you are worthless you are terrible
and the old man never responded to the
general and this confuse the general
because what the general would do is use
other people’s fuel against them but
guess what the old man gave the general
no food he didn’t accept his gift so now
it was almost as if the general was
hearing his own echo and all of a sudden
the general dropped to his knees and
said please forgive me master for all
the people i have intimidated with my
words being mean to and the master was
just silent so from that very famous
powerful story I always remind myself
that we are not other people’s problems
and therefore when you are dealing with
the driver multiple choice or you’re
caught in the crossfire are you going to
a run be stand there see duck d confront
them or none of the above what’s helped
me along my journey is to always show
compassion place myself in their shoes
and just like the old man who is very
wise what happens instead of being
dragged into someone else’s storm pull
them into your piece and it does wonders
also remind yourself to always see the
very little secret that we have to set
energetic boundaries and that is what
the old man did because we’re do
emotional drive-bys happen and how do
they happen how do emotional drive-bys
happen they happen when people feel they
can get away with it through anonymity
high-stress places the workplace people
are stress what we call kick the cat
syndrome someone shouts at you you go
home you kick the cat cat didn’t do
anything same thing with the emotional
drive by there are moods and cycles that
we have to be aware of and that is why I
take nothing personally when people are
hurling insults at us or whatever it may
be many people feel it has something to
do with them and a lot of the times it
is what the other person is going
through at the same time there may be a
message in there for you what is that
message the message is asking you to
take a look at yourself because we can’t
control how people act we can only
control how we respond and when people
say things to us what happens if we get
really angry now we have to take a look
within ourselves to see why can this
person trigger me like this what can I
learn from this person because in
essence that person is a messenger and
serving as a catalyst to help you become
your greatest version so pay attention
to the signs your greatest
adversary is your greatest friend at the
same time along my journey sometimes
people say I am angry with you I am
disappointed in you you have wronged me
and what do I say what do I say I say I
don’t feel your anger I don’t accept
your anger I don’t accept your
disappointment I am setting up an
energetic boundary just like the old man
and you sent me the gift guess what
return to sender is coming right back to
you because many of us we become victims
we start to absorb other people’s energy
because we don’t know how to express
ourselves a hundred percent and we have
to become very clear that take a look at
what i call the closed circle the
company you keep is so important because
we become like the people we surround
ourselves with most often i have
wonderful friends at the same time i’m
aware of how the universe works through
contrasts we discover who we truly are
hot cold yin-yang so there are always
going to be people who are going to push
your buttons because in essence those
people are helping you in your evolution
so it’s all about changing how you see
these people it’s not about fearing them
but at the same time it’s not about
giving them all the attention through
your thoughts or do I say spending one
minute thinking about someone you love
is more beneficial than spending 60
minutes about thinking
of someone who doesn’t care about you
but a lot of us we think of people who
no longer serve us we think of people
who make us feel a certain way and guess
what happens we become a vibrational
match to that which we oppose so in
essence we end up becoming like the
emotional drive buyer who is really her
deep down inside they have refused to
take responsibility so they shift the
blame onto us at the same time there is
a message always in life and I always
remind myself and say what can I learn
from this what are they here to teach me
but at the same time I am very mindful
of how much attention i am giving to
you going to accept the invitation are
you gonna return the invitation back to
them we are all here to not care about
what other people think of us even
though what people think does matter but
we can always choose how we react and
see that a lot of it’s coming from our
perception our interpretation are we
reading into things too much many times
we think what everyone is doing is in
response to us but have you seen their
day their schedule they’ve been running
around the whole day and now they just
want to offload on to someone which is
you because you are the closest person
to them so nothing personal what you
are dealing with the emotional drive
buyer I am not the cause of him that is
the mindset I have and therefore I
respect myself enough to surround myself
with those who up lift my spirit why
because I see I am worthy we’re living
in a magnificent universe right now it’s
time for elevation and the people i’m
connecting with are all about solutions
high vibrational energy and that’s what
we have to be aware of because we never
attract what we want we always attract
what we are you see many times we find
ourselves attracting a lot of situations
involving emotional drive-bys because we
have become a vibrational match to that
experience how do we change that by
simply not focusing on what that person
is doing but focusing on how we perceive
ourselves to free ourselves in essence
to become our greatest version so there
you have it remind yourself you don’t
have to tolerate other people’s BS you
are here to be free to shine just like
the Sun we are here infinite waters
diving deep once again stay well stay healthy peace
