A galpal asked me to look at something on a friend’s Facebook page and I reported back their timeline looked empty to me. “WTF?” she asked? “Did he block you? Are you two fighting? You’re powerful to make someone do that.” I laughed at her readiness to read drama into it, her first response was to assign roles and blame. He didn’t block me since it showed we are still friends. I don’t know him well enough to fight with him. My first thought was he makes posts he lets only “real” friends see. Her first thought was “someone is doing something against you.” We all know people like that. I don’t take things personally. People are entitled to share with me or not and if they want me to know the reasons why, they’ll tell me. Not everything is a giant soap opera. When we stop contributing to the personality dramas around us, we begin to tap into that inner world where our guidance lies. The more we tap in, the more we’re guided to focus on things that bring real emotional fulfillment. Yes, the emotional highs and lows in personality drama can be addicting and some people thrive on it. If it’s getting less entertaining, step back from it. Don’t talk about it with anyone. That will let you begin to vibe in a new place, to tune yourself to a new channel. As a kickstart, spend a few minutes in nature allowing the trees to absorb your stress. Ask to be guided to more appealing pursuits, people and circumstances. Some friends will go with you, others will not. Close your eyes and breathe in the fresh air. Exhale slowly and fully. Do that a few more times. Nothing beats the emotional high of seeing more of the world as it is. And all it takes is moving your focus off everyone else’s drama. If you find yourself obsessed with it, take time to examine internally why you have the fascination and ask what you can learn from it.
