Is drama good for business?

If your business is a “tea channel”, then yes.

(You won’t take it personally when you realize that’s how these people build their following. By starting drama with people.)

That’s not the kind of business I’m interested in.

"Don't Be This Witch" Story...

...It's going to be painful and embarrassing in the long run otherwise. ----------------------

I went to a psychic/witch channeling activity group last night. It was fun and insightful, but there's always this one person in the group... As soon as people shown up for the event, she immediately starts bragging loudly, she was the most outspoken person in the group. This 25 year old woman bragged at how much of an expert she is even though she admitted she just started her path only two years ago, bragged how easy she can channel people without trying, bragged how she's never grounded to Earth spiritually and used it as leverage over others, bragged about how all-powerful she is at her craft, bragged about how she can bypass or break any wards she wants and astral project into anyone's homes through those wards, bragged how she is connected to deities to an intimate level more than most people, bragged that she can befriend any spirit she wants... I didn't say anything but only listened. I let her spew whatever she wants, knowing she's digging herself a hole doing this. .... We played a "hot seat" channeling reading game. It's where we go off into groups and we take turns channeling into an individual's energy together and give that person insight or what we saw/feel/etc through feeling their energy. I was the second person in line for the "hot seat" reading. Most people who read my energy in that table were pretty accurate. It was really insightful and cool to see. But when it comes to her, she didn't get any insight or channeling right for me, or even for the first person that was in the "hot seat." She was increasingly getting angry when I said that nothing she said was resonating. She was only making basic pragmatic assumptions to blanket each answer to make some coverage to make it appear she's effectively psychic. She got my spirit Family completely wrong and assumed they were just molding me. I politely told her it wasn't resonating but I still said that I'll keep that in mind. ... Then it got to her turn after me. I saw something in her energy that I didn't like, along with the other witches. They all saw her energy and called her out, and she got embarrassed. I also saw something in her energy that I wanted to say. I warned her three times if she wants to hear it, and she insisted despite her embarrassment. When I told her that I saw a vision of the nature of her past life murder, she hated what she heard and got really defensive, claimed that I was "evil" and left. Turns out, the actual experienced reader in the group who did her readings from the last couple of weeks told me that she also channeled the same thing. --- My point is... ...Don't be that witch/psychic. There's a lot of them out there, and they'll get humbled really fast in painful or embarrassing ways -- or both.

There's always more to learn and it's dangerous to think one's above others in this craft. ...Also, don't purposely try to astral project to purposely violate randonm people's sacred spaces. You're a creep at that point. Plus, you can piss off the wrong person one day, or something else will follow you back in retaliation. (Luckily, she was only talking it up though)

You guys know you can say "drag shows are adult entertainment and shouldn't be shown to child audiences" without saying shit like "we should shoot up drag shows/attack drag queens because they are pedos" right?

Like I know you guys have enough brain cells to understand the very basic concept that even though *some* priests or *some* teachers have been pedophiles, that doesn't mean all priests and teachers are pedos by proxy, so why do yall now suddenly think ALL drag queens must be pedos?

Please, excercise some critical thinking that I know you all are capable of. You know who you are, I don't need to make a stupid call out post naming you.

psychology functions in society as a replacement for religion and it started with freud (who claimed to be an atheist but studied various mythologies extensively and literally was a kabbalist) and jung and it has only mutated from there, pretending to be an empirical science entirely divorced from its roots. but its not. and im mad about it for a couple reasons but mostly because i find myself interpreting mythology/media/any story by mapping it onto my own psyche, putting archetypes onto my own thought processes and feelings. and i don’t think this is correct

[nayatarot777]

anger is a valid emotion. don’t get swept up in the “peace, love, and positivity” bs that’s forced down our throats every 5 minutes. anger is the signal that someone’s tried us and that we need to either defend ourselves or gtfo of the situation if that’s possible.

people who anger others intentionally through words (for absolutely no reason) are equivalent to people who seek out physical conflict. are you going to just take random, unwarranted, physical abuse from a random bitch on the street who clearly has issues? i hope tf not. so why do so many of us feel guilty for standing up for ourselves against the “family” or “loved ones” who seek verbal conflict with us? we’re literally made to feel guilty for stepping into survivor mode - and defending ourselves from people who were threats to us - instead of stepping into completely-helpless-victim mode immediately. that’s why people with control issues try to break down our sense of self over time. for most of us, there was a time when we stood up for ourselves against these people. and then a time when we grew tired and numb to their bs. and now we’re tasked with having to find our defences again. but we’re made to feel crazy or guilty for it, just like we were made to last time.

i guess i type this to say: you’re not crazy. you’re not problematic. that problematic ass family that you have is the issue. that dysfunctional person that you have to be around is the issue. you’re expected to be fully functioning when you’re around someone who could drive anyone to madness. because they’re mad themselves. literally. low functioning narcissistic people and abusive people especially. everyone can see that they’re not “normal”. you’re around the human embodiment of dysfunction but yet you’re expected to be a fully functioning human being? i don’t fucking think so. cut yourself some slack. you’re doing everything that you possibly can right now.

The Energetic Dynamic Between Empaths and Narcissists: A Complex Dance

The relationship between empaths and narcissists has been widely studied in both psychological and metaphysical communities. It is a compelling interaction characterized by profound emotional intensity, imbalanced power dynamics, and, often, a deep energetic entanglement. To understand this dynamic fully, it is essential to explore the unique traits of empaths and narcissists, how their contrasting energies attract and affect one another, and the lessons that arise from these relationships.

Understanding the Empath and the Narcissist

An empath is an individual highly attuned to the emotions and energies of others. They often have a natural ability to sense what others are feeling, sometimes even absorbing emotions as if they were their own. Empaths are deeply compassionate, highly intuitive, and often strive to heal or help those around them. They are also sensitive to energy imbalances, easily overwhelmed in chaotic environments, and can struggle with setting boundaries, especially when faced with emotionally charged situations.

In stark contrast, a narcissist is someone who exhibits a pervasive pattern of self-centeredness, often accompanied by a lack of empathy and an exaggerated sense of self-importance. Narcissists tend to manipulate others for their own gain, thrive on admiration, and often view relationships as transactional—using people as tools to reinforce their inflated sense of self-worth. Though they may outwardly appear confident, their self-esteem is often fragile, leading them to seek constant validation and control over others.

The Attraction: Opposing Forces in a Magnetic Pull

At first glance, it seems paradoxical that empaths, who prioritize others' emotions, and narcissists, who prioritize their own, would be drawn to each other. However, the two often form a powerful, if toxic, energetic connection. The empath's sensitivity and capacity for deep care can be irresistible to the narcissist, who craves admiration and attention. On the flip side, empaths, with their innate desire to heal and fix others, may see the narcissist as a wounded soul who needs their compassion. In metaphysical terms, empaths emit a strong, nurturing energy that narcissists are drawn to in an attempt to fill the emotional void within themselves.

This dynamic can be compared to the concept of the energetic vampire—the narcissist feeds off the empath's energy, leaving the empath drained and depleted over time. The empath, in turn, often believes that if they just give a little more, love a little harder, or understand the narcissist a little better, they can somehow "heal" them. This is the crux of the empath-narcissist relationship: an unhealthy cycle of giving and taking that leaves the empath exhausted and the narcissist insatiable.

The Cycle of Manipulation and Emotional Drain

The empath’s desire to help and the narcissist’s need to take creates a cyclical dynamic of manipulation and emotional exhaustion. Narcissists are skilled at gaslighting—a form of manipulation that causes the empath to question their own reality and emotions. Over time, the empath may begin to doubt their perception of the relationship, often feeling as though they are overreacting or imagining problems. This erosion of self-trust makes it easier for the narcissist to maintain control, keeping the empath in a constant state of confusion and vulnerability.

Energetically, empaths may begin to feel drained as their personal boundaries are continuously crossed. The empath, who is used to giving, may feel compelled to offer even more energy in a futile attempt to appease the narcissist, while the narcissist continues to take without ever feeling truly satisfied. This creates a profound energetic imbalance, as the empath’s reserves are depleted, while the narcissist grows more demanding.

Lessons and Liberation: Breaking the Cycle

Despite the toxicity of this dynamic, it can serve as a powerful spiritual lesson for both parties, especially the empath. On a metaphysical level, these relationships often highlight the empath’s need to establish stronger boundaries and protect their energy. The empath must learn that they cannot heal or fix someone who is unwilling to change and that their worth is not tied to how much they give to others. This realization is often a turning point in their personal and spiritual growth, as they begin to reclaim their energy and step into their power.

For narcissists, though they are less likely to engage in self-reflection, the collapse of these relationships can occasionally prompt a deep inner reckoning. When an empath breaks free and withdraws their energy, the narcissist is left without a source of validation, which can force them to confront their own emptiness. However, genuine transformation on the narcissist’s part is rare without significant self-awareness and a willingness to change—traits that are inherently at odds with narcissistic tendencies.

Healing and Empowerment for Empaths

The most significant lesson for empaths in this dynamic is the importance of self-care and self-preservation. When an empath learns to protect their energy, set healthy boundaries, and say "no" without guilt, they can break free from the grip of narcissistic relationships. Healing for empaths often involves cultivating a strong sense of self-worth that is independent of their role as a healer or giver. Practices such as grounding, energy shielding, and emotional release work can help empaths maintain their energetic integrity and avoid being drained by narcissists or other energy vampires.

On a deeper level, empaths may also need to explore why they are drawn to narcissistic individuals in the first place. This can involve unraveling subconscious patterns of co-dependency, unhealed trauma, or beliefs that equate love with sacrifice. By addressing these underlying issues, empaths can transform their relationships and attract healthier, more balanced connections.

Conclusion: A Complex Energetic Exchange

The relationship between empaths and narcissists is a complex and often painful energetic exchange. It is a dynamic that highlights the stark contrast between the giving nature of the empath and the taking nature of the narcissist. However, it is also a powerful opportunity for growth, particularly for the empath. By learning to protect their energy, set boundaries, and prioritize their own well-being, empaths can break free from these toxic cycles and step into their full power, no longer feeling the need to heal those who only seek to drain them. In doing so, they reclaim their energy and open the door to healthier, more fulfilling relationships that honor their sensitivity without exploiting it.

i do Not buy karina braun arriving at a similar self-awareness to grisha's in the short time between the end of marley's mid-east war and the rumbling. if anything the rumbling should further embitter eldians in marley: yes, we sacrificed our children to a futile mission, but that was because we good eldians were right about those devils all along! etc. by the same token the jaegerists probably prop eren up as a martyr, the ultimate patriot, why wouldn't surviving eldians off paradis give bertolt and the galliard bros and colt the same treatment? grisha's line in 87 is "I dare say I never once treated Zeke as Zeke." could karina manage that now that her son is literal savior of the whole world? can she see past that and remember he was a boy?

Fellow witches!

I've done to you with another question. Of course I have my own answers to said question but I'd be a liar to say I don't enjoy coming to you as well to hear from others.

The deal is that my disability check came in. It came while I was sleep... I tried staying awake but after a while I had assumed that I'd come in tomorrow... The eldest brother who I've spoken on previously in post found it with his girlfriend.

Honestly I'm annoyed with myself over the fact because I was supposed to get it so they didn't hear about it... Now I know my mom is going to say something cause they at least know there's money here... To not help the case I kinda froze up as the asked what was on it and told em 🤦🏾

I can't stand this. I hate lying and I hate feeling like I HAVE to lie which is why I give in or freeze when people ask me things... I'm happy the money is here but ffs... I'm worried it's gonna be asked about consistently.

Then had the audacity to ask if I wanted to play the Wii with them. Of course realistically I would love to but it just feels like a way to butter me up.. and I don't like that. Like I'm not finna forget

The fact he said I was a liar about my SA abuse

The fact that before he left he blew up and broke many things in my room. Statues and offerings and whatever else. Just total disrespect.

Said that I wasn't his sister which honestly has its connotations because same mom different dads...

Etc.

Like my issue is that I can feel my anxiety beaming just being under the pressure. Definitely need to see if I can talk to my therapist again but I just hate having to jump hurdles and loops.

Acts of protection magick would be appreciated if anyone has any! Or things that would help with this case of mine. Anything is really free game.

Plus since his gf is pregnant I know that might come up but I didn't tell y'all to hunch in my bed and have a kid y'all ain't fully ready yet to support on your own... I don't wanna hear none of that shit. Imma definitely be looked at as the bad guy if anything pop off but it ain't the first time and I'm sure it won't be the last.

People really believe they can play in your face if you allow them to.

hey i mightve experienced obsessive gangstalking as it seems to line up with my general experiences that along with ppl generally being unhelpful to me in my earlier years but how can i know for sure thats what i experienced without sounding crazy or paranoid?

You’re not crazy or paranoid; this is a real thing that happens. People who treat others this way know exactly what they’re doing; they just don’t care and want to see you suffer. It’s genuinely insidious. But this tactic is subtle, and it’s not easily recognized unless you’ve been through it yourself. I think I’ve developed brain damage from all the psychological trauma I’ve endured throughout my life. Your body will let you know if something is wrong; don’t let people gaslight you!
