Hi again,
I've also been training myself not to get drawn into interactions with people who are in an unconscious negative state 'cause they will just project it outward. I can interact with people who own their state and are aware of it happening and are making efforts to get out of it. That feels totally different. They take responsibility for not allowing the energy to project onto someone else especially a sensitve like yourself. As well I notice who is in a positive and creative high energy state. Then it's ok to open up and these folks are well worth hanging out with. But be careful. People have their good and bad days. Don't assume they are always one way or another all the time. Gravitate towards those manifesting an inner light. And if you can't find anybody like that sometimes then just focus attention back on your own inner world and inner work and continue working with yourself. Sometimes that's just the way it is for me - only have myself to work with. Although in my case I have 2 young children and they are very clear emotionally. So it is very purifying and uplifting for me to interact with them. Good luck.
Deborah
