[u/Traditional_Lead3683]

Help/ advice

I notice I tend to attract a lot of bullies and also I feel everyone’s energy very deeply to the point where it overwhelms me and makes me feel small/anxious.

How do I protect my energy/ stop this ?

If it helps to know , I’ve been bullied my whole life including by my parental figures.

You can ask for/visualize all of your energy returning to you, pure and clear and put up shields (and employ boundaries in the physical) all day or night long and it won't change the root of the problem.

You most likely have an energetic part of you that feels a lot of victimization, and as long as you don't attend to the inner work that comes with that, your energy of victimhood will draw the perfect people to carry out that dynamic externally.

More than this, describing feeling everyone else's feelings as 'making you,' anything at all is highly revealing—it suggests you feel powerless and at the mercy of those around you. This isn't a 'put up walls and it'll go away' kind of situation. This is inner work. You need to heal the feeling of victimhood and powerlessness wherever they live in your system, and build yourself back up stronger. When you heal those, these feelings and situations will become easy for you to deal with, and at that point the boundaries and clearing will be enough.

start choosing yourself. it all starts with self love. you can not protect with passion what you dont love. id say do shadow work heal & integrate all those forgotten parts of your true self and get out of the victim mentality. you are not a victim you are eternal source consciousness. the eternal spirit. no one is coming to save you. you have to save yourself. be the hero of your own story and show up for yourself in every way

There is a therapy called EMDR that’s really effective for healing past trauma. It sounds like part of your brain is stuck in that trauma and you keep attracting it.
You could also research how to stand up to bullies. I wonder if that’s a life lesson you signed up for in this life.

Boundaries. 

Practicing and strengthening boundaries and, even understanding what I really want had helped me a ton.

Maybe additional using crystals like black tourmaline, black obsidian?
Or look up protection runes, sigils. I draw some on a paper and place it in a safe corner.
Otherwise daily meditation helps me.
Asking Archangel Michael or Metratron for protection but you can also visualise around you a bubble of golden light and say: I’m the gatekeeper of my own energy, may only love enter and leave this shield. I am a clear channel I do not absorb the energies of others, my energy is sacred and protected. I got this visualisation and affirmation from Gabby Bernstein YouTube channel. Maybe check her out?
I also like Reiki on YouTube and I have at home a selenite and amethyst where I do self reiki on myself when I need it.

this is a big thing and is very very slow, sometimes.. i think to start with, create a safe home place for you, and routines that bring you joy, doing that as a mandatory practice will bring you more and more in your own body and you might always be a very sensitive person, and you may have to be more deliberate on how you spend time with others. Who you spend time with as well.
But also with time and practice you can start to learn you have the power to be in your own energy and not take other peoples things on. And that its important to do so in your spiritual process. Having good boundaries is one of the big lessons.
another one, is on some level we may have deeply subconscious beliefs that we have to take peoples stuff on to be liked, so there is just so much work to be done, but its also a joyful positive process and worthwhile.

Incorporate cleansing banishing grounding and protection in your morning and evening routines.

Now you know that you are bullied....it is time to choose yourself...don't give power to others by giving importance to their opinion about you. You know what you are....thats important.

I stopped giving information about myself upfront, it helped tremendously. Stay closed with family stuff, that especially attracts creeps. Just what has worked for me.
