Thank God I found this channel. Its hard to find anything that even begins to explain the things that happen to me. I have become afraid to develop feelings for people the past few years due to an intense awakening i experienced. I can't really share my experience with other people because they simply can't believe the truth I deal with everyday. Science doesn't explain everything. You need to add spirituality to science to really begin to explain somethings.

I agree with you 100% and share your experience. Spirituality is an integral part of us that virtually no modern psychology includes. And the body is an important link. People like us function differently, and it's detrimental to us following any mainstream advice. 🙏✨️

I’m an INFJ/HSP/Empath too and could really resonate with what you said. I have always had trouble with setting boundaries. Dealing with people always feels really stimulating for me in a way that I feel the need to make myself small or withdraw back into my shell. Being an INFJ, my first tendency was to figure it out in my mind and change my mindset, and as you said that has definitely helped but it’s not the complete solution. How my mind and body reacts in these situations is still something I’m working on. Thank you for the insights! ❤

Absolutely! These habits are so ingrained. And you have the best raw material - a sharp mind and high sensitivity. The path is to have them work together. Your awareness of doing what you observed is a great milestone on that path.

Tell me why does our life has to be so hard. Why can't we just enjoy life and be normal. We constantly have to try and figure ourselves out, our childhood, our parents, our trauma, why we do this, and that. Why we never feel good enough...etc. we're always researching digging, trying to slove ourselves and learn about ourselves and others or their behaviors towards us. Why can't we have peace. Why can't we live in harmony. Ppl ask me what I want in life, and my answer has always been to be at peace with me. I'm 50. I'm so frekin tire. I just want to go and live off the grid and be by myself.

I might actually make an entire video to reflect on this. It's a common pain for HSP, just as you observed.

🤯 Thank you for connecting these dots between disembodiment and the tendency to retreat into the mind. This is spot on of my own experience with being an HSP/INFJ/Empath. I have been working towards trying to set boundaries and am still struggling with social anxiety in large groups. So much so that I have been prescribed beta blockers to avoid fight/flight symptoms in my body like racing heart, changes in how my voice sounds, shaking hands, etc. I thought that I knew what it meant to have self awareness, but after watching your video, I can finally see that I am stuck in my mind and ignoring my physicality/physical aspect while I'm in these situations. I'm looking forward to bringing this new knowledge with me into my next group experience. I'm interested to see what changes I can make and if I'll be more skilled at setting boundaries in the moment with more difficult/intrusive individuals.

Thank you for sharing! You have just described what so many Empaths, HSPs, and INFJs feel. I know how this is debilitating also from my own experience. I'm sure you'll get more insights and healing as you go. Best wishes
