#6. The Guilty Pleasures type.
To be a highly spiritual person, you must learn skills like forgiveness.
But at the beginning of your awakening, you must protect your light. You don’t want to fight black belt adversaries when you are only at the white belt level, isn’t you?
It would be better to stay away from these six types of people initially.
- The reactivity activators. — The ones who constantly contradict you. The ones who always want to argue. The ones who always want to be right. The ones who always want to be on top, even if they put you down. You have to avoid these types of people that take you out of your center when you start on your spiritual path. Because you are at a time when you are learning to walk, and you need to be focused on not stumbling.
- The energy vacuum cleaners. — The typical emotional vampires capable of taking your smile away with their mere presence. People whose only function in life seems to be to leave their emotional garbage at the door of others, to walk a little lighter, making you sink a little deeper. The victimizers. The ones that only want to grab all your attention, and after an hour with them, you don’t want to do anything but complain.
- The guilt dispensers. — These characters come into your life in different formats: as guilt managers, behavior critics, moral guardians, and people who know better than you what is best for you. Those who come wounded from other relationships. In short, all those people who want to make you feel indebted to make you spend your life demanding their approval.
- The Superfans. These are a rare type of people who idolize you, consider you their very best friend, the light of their lives, their personal hero. But they are still a more perverse version of guilt dispenser because they don’t love you for the right reasons, but so they can play “The betrayed” when the occasion calls for it. These people use you to hurt themselves and live to feel like the scorned protagonists of their soap operas. They are people who do things you have not asked them to do for you. They are people who put you on a pedestal so they can push you down. They are the ones who say things like “You let me down,” or “With all the things I have done for you, and this is how you repay me? or the famous “I thought we were friends.”
- The big liars. — Liars are like hard smokers. They won’t quit even if they tell you they did. You must be very careful with them because they will drive you crazy if you let them. Liars don’t care about making you doubt reality if they can get away with it. They also think they are smarter than you. They are not really; what happens is that you can never know what to expect when, out of ten things they tell you, half of them are lies. It’s like playing Russian roulette. Please stay away from them because, among them, there are two very dangerous subgroups: narcissists and manipulators.
- The Guilty Pleasures type. Some people are our kryptonite. People who make us addicted to them more than to sugar. Even if they are virtual relationships, they can ruin our lives. I’m talking about the people we know are bad for us, but deep down, we can’t help but be tempted to spend time with them. That kind of relationship is like a wound that has turned into a scab, but you keep scratching when it itches to feel itchy, and when you do it, the wound reopens. Do you a favor; go far away from these people and never look back.
You must flee, especially from these six types of people, to progress on your spiritual path.
When you become an oak tree, you can shade and shelter some people. But in the beginning, the best thing you can do (I tell you this as a personal experience) is to protect that little plant that is your spiritual awakening and make it a big tree.
A virtual hug
