Do people control your life, making you crazy? Is there a drug addict or alcoholic or other crazymakers in your life that you can’t seem to shake loose from?

Did/Do you have a parent who was/is alcoholic or addicted to something that you could describe only as dysfunctional? Did your family of origin involve violence, ignoring problems, or abusive word exchange? Are you seemingly attracted to “people who are broken?” Do you often think if you would behave better your abusive partner wouldn’t call you names or hit you? If something about these characteristics are feeling familiar I would suggest you start with this article on What is Codependency?.

Highly Sensitive Person Resources

Have you been told you are “too sensitive?” Have you been known to cry at another person’s pain? Are you quite fond of animals/children - more so seemingly than adult human people? Have you ever had a hard time wondering how it is that most people seem to “fit” and how you “don’t”? Have people or has a person ever said anything to the effect like “You’re chosen” or “God has plans for you” and you somehow knew what they meant? Have you ever had dreams of prophecy or astral projection [out of body experience] issues? When it comes to you and electricity, would you prefer for it to be off? Have you ever gone into “emotional overload” with too many people, or too many electrical appliances? Have you ever felt as if you’ve known the condition of a person’s soul or spirit? Do you reject organized religion because you know it’s not telling the whole story? When it comes to the paranormal and people make jokes, do you cringe? Have you seen “energy,” “aura,” or what perhaps others describe as paranormal experiences? Do you feel better suited to NOT be in the workplace but vesting your talents and energy into creative or lone projects?
