I recently came into contact with someone who is a high-conflict personality. I tried my best to help this person see through some of the issues/drama they were going through, but to no resolution. I was even hurt in the process. And somehow this person managed to twist my hurt into a way they were victimized. I was left bewildered, confused and still hurt. At this point, it was hard for me to let go (something which was always difficult for me to do wit any important relationship) and I felt this strong urge to want to make it right by trying to reason with said person. Eventually I had to do what was best for me by letting go of that strong urge to satisfy and walked away from the situation. And I cannot tell you how liberating it was to free myself of the toxicity of anothers emotions and hurtful ways. And with my renewed perspective on life, I took this as a lesson and a reminder that as an empathetic person, I am more susceptible to these types of people. That I could take back my power by accepting the reality of the situation, forgiving and walking away. And I wanted to share my realizations with each of you so that you are able to sooner recognize this type of person and eliminate them from your lives before they are able to do more damage. I hope this helps you as much as it did for me. Not my circus. Not my monkey. psychologytoday/blog/stop-walking-eggshells/201205/high-conflict-people-drive-disputes-home-school-work
