To decide i won't be friends with people based on their energy

MySordidCakeSecret · 15/12/2015 13:36

DP would say I am, but in the last yr or so i've become really aware of the energy that people give out.

Some people repel me like the same poles of a magnet. For example NDN from the day i met him I just felt a really bad buzz about him, and i'll be honest i havn't given him any time because i feel due to this we won't be friends (and other reasons)

There's a mum at school who we chat and she's nice all fine, but i know we could never be close friends because she has a different energy.

And then there's some people, in particular one of the dad's at school (before anyone starts this is not an attraction thing!) who has such a calming, positive energy i feel totally comfortable and can quite happily stand near him in comfortable happy silence.

For the record, my posts have smileies and winkies in them - I am not being nasty - so apologies if you can't see them (they are absent form my current window, which occasionally happens on this site).

Ah but would your neighbour be a twat if you didn't give off such negative vibes to him.

Maybe he felt your negative energy towards him?

Surely if you believe this is true, you must also believe you give off a negative energy to certain people

Kelsoooo · 15/12/2015 13:58

I thought you meant "actual" energy levels, like if they were lazy or something ...

Aura is bullshit and an excuse to ve rude

MySordidCakeSecret · 15/12/2015 13:59

it's without them speaking though.

considering i think there's a ghost living upstairs in my house maybe i have

Does the ghost give off good or bad energy? Can you use the energy to power your vacuum cleaner?

Yeah pretty sure. He's a cheating, creepy, untrustworthy full of BS bloke that makes my skin crawl.

Verbal communication is a very small part of how we interact with others.

it's still not energy

DeltaZeta · 15/12/2015 14:01

I should also say that my ex MIL thought she could read energy and it was load of self-important bollocks. She didn't like me putting the DCs in second hand clothes because she worried about 'bad energy' being passed on. And when I hurt my knee she attempted to heal me by drawing the 'bad energy' away from it. Hmm TBH, Nurofen Plus and a elastic bandage was far more effective.

Fourormore · 15/12/2015 14:02

I understand what you mean, I think, but not in a hippy-woo way. Just some people I click with, some I don't. I try and give people a chance before I decide I don't like them. I guess it's more "first impressions" and "gut instinct".

claig · 15/12/2015 14:03

MySordidCakeSecret, you are probably talking about vibes - Beach Boys type Good Virbations. I think there is something in it. You may be more receptive or tuned in to spotting vibes which are subconscious.

The problem occurs if your tuning s wrong and you make mistakes. But at the end of the day, go with what works for you but be flexible enough to adapt.

MySordidCakeSecret · 15/12/2015 14:04

Thanks for the woo bobbins lol, I would never be intentionally rude to someone, or tell them they had negative energy!

You know maid i really don't know..

yes most certainly i give off bad energy to some people i'm not everyone's cup of tea.

FeliciaJollygoodfellow · 15/12/2015 14:04

I really don't know how to respond without being rude so I'll stick to YABU.

goodnightdarthvader1 · 15/12/2015 14:05

Your subconscious is making judgements about people based on their looks and you think you're a psychic woo magnet. You've given one example of a guy who you were 'right' about.

YABU.

thanks claig, good to know someone gets it haha.

I would never do some of the crazy things people describe others doing regarding healing and predictions and what not, i'm sorry that's happened to you! Confused

felicia you can be rude if you want i don't mind.

OP posts:
goodnightdarthvader1 · 15/12/2015 14:10

I'm not assuming - maybe I'm sensing your energy.

You've said this is before they speak. So what ARE you judging them on if not their looks?

And you've said you sense their energy. Ergo, psychic woo magnet.

Are you sensing my energy RIGHT NOW? Shock

DickDewy · 15/12/2015 14:11

That sounds a bit daft. I'd give this theory as much credence as aura reading, i.e. none.

DreamingOfThruxtons · 15/12/2015 14:11

YABU. I would agree with the previous poster who said there are a lot of reasons people might give you an impression, subliminally, that you don't like. They may be depressed. They may be stressed. They may have Asperger's, even. None of these things warrant being given the cold shoulder.

At the extreme end, several years ago I was trying to find my then husband who had just arrived in the UK for the first time and hadn't come out of Arrivals: I was terrified he had got lost, or worse- been detained by Immigration.

As I approached Customer Services to ask for information, some woman wheeled around, stared at me and screamed 'You have the Devil in your eyes! Get away, get away from me with your Evil!'. It really, really helped. Not. I'm fairly certain she thought she was a 'spiritual person' who could read a complete stranger accurately. She was, in fact, a rude fruit loop, and I was utterly mortified on top of everything else.

Enjolrass · 15/12/2015 14:12

delta I think we have the same mil Wink

Kelsoooo · 15/12/2015 14:12

Saying that you are Judging people on subconscious cues isn't making an assumption. That's a fact of how interaction works. Verbal communication is like 3% of communication

nauticant · 15/12/2015 14:13

It's very straightforward.

good energy = Smile and Grin
bad energy = Hmm and Confused

There's too much bad energy on this thread. It's upsetting my psychic balance.

sleepwhenidie · 15/12/2015 14:14

I think it is usually right to be guided by your gut instinct about people and situations. That's not to say we should believe it's completely infallible though Smile.
