Vampires and how to set boundaries in your life

Have you ever encountered that one person whom whenever you were with them you automatically get physically, emotionally and mentally exhausted when in their presence?  They may not even say a single word but just having them near you makes your heart skip a beat, your anxiety sky rocket and then after you have parted ways for the day you find it almost impossible to muster enough energy to leave your bed for a good one or two days.

I’m pretty sure most of us have had these type of people in our lives.  It’s hard being a nice person in todays crazy world.  I have learned that when you open your heart up to people you let the good in with the bad and it can take some time before you identify who and what is not working in your life, a sort of weeding process you could say.  It absolutely fascinates me how one person can radiate such an intense amount of energy that affects your entire wellbeing.  Projection and what we say and how we act towards another is much more detrimental than we may think.  Everyone has a perception and differing ones at that.

I remember when I was in middle school and I met this boy, who had just moved to our school from out of state, whom I felt I could relate to on some levels.  He was one of the outcasts like myself.  People constantly were being mean to him, putting him down and generally trying to get a rise out of him  This happened to me as well, so I had great empathy for what he was going through because the priviledged “popular” kids put me through emotional hell and back for years. 

There were differences of course, he had only one arm, the other had been amputated at birth, was obsessed with trains and had Aspergers syndrome.  I had never heard of this until I met him.  I soon became very aware of why he did not have many friends and the complications that come along with this. 

So after a while we became friends and would spend time at eachothers houses, have sleep overs and hang out at school.  What I started to discover was that he was uncompromising and unware of my needs a lot of the times, not on purpose, but because of the condition he had.  I remember him becoming so attached to me and dependent on me for everything.  At first everything was great, I was excited to have a friend who actually wanted to hang out with me and well just to have a friend, because I did not have many back then.

After a while when I would be around him too much all of my energy reservoirs would be completely drained, I wouldn’t be able to think, speak or feel.  I would be completely drained and felt like someone sucked the life out of me.  There was never the question of what I wanted to do or how I was feeling, it was about him, his needs and the condition he had.  Now I don’t say this out of selfishness, but there is something to be said about addressing others needs along with your own.  It is a simple fact that sometimes things don’t go your way and that you need to do something you may not want to do, perhaps you are doing it out of the love for that person.  However, I have discovered that there is a balance and when you do not recieve back this sort of respect or acknowledgement to your needs you end up feeling drained, empty on the inside and slightly resentful. 

After some experiences with him and other people who have yanked my emotional chain to the point of snapping I am begining to learn the art of self-preservation.  Now one may ask what self-preservation may entail and steps you can take to be better at it. It can be as simple as politely announcing that you are shutting your phone off for a day and taking some time out for yourself.  If someone is a real friend they will understand.  However, on the flipside I encountered one girl that I barely knew from school who was completely astounded that I was not going to hang out with her and would not speak to me for eight days after I sent her a nice apology that wasn’t necessarily deserved since there was no plan set in stone to meet up.  However, I am a nice person and believe in doing the right thing even if it is at the expense of my needs or if the person truly does not deserve an apology, second chance or whatever the case may be. 

Self preservation can be taking the time to sit back and analyze people.  It’s amazing how much you can learn from observing from the back of a room about people and the social dynamics between different groups work.  Watching body language and flow of conversation is a good indicator for insight about the person who could be your next potential friend, business partner or lover.  A conversation of comprimise and balance is healthy.  When one person is speaking for a majority of the time and not engaging or asking what the other person is about or their interests, this sends red flags for me because I have seen it and been down that road before.  However, everyone’s relationship dynamics are different.  There are those, like myself, who love to talk and engage in long conversation over a variety of topics.  There are ohers that are very quiet and speak very little.  If you match these two opposites up together then of course you will find that one speaks more than the other. 

The main point I am trying to get to is that too often those of us with a loving and big heart get so caught up in other people’s affairs we forget to take care of our own.  We need to set boundaries with those who don’t have the best interest.  Setting boundaries in general in order to save yourself and protect your wellbeing.  Health and vitality is a beautiful thing and something you must work for, tt’s not something that will manifest on its own.  Once you have reached a place of stability it requires constant maintenance and time on your part to take a break for a moment and check in with yourself.  Ask yourself:  Am I ok?  Does this feel right?  Will the choice I am making now benefit me long term? Is this person dragging me down or do they make me come to life?  Listen to your body, it will tell you when it’s time to rest.
