Can you read someone's goodness/badness?

Posted on 10/10/09, 09:13 pm

Sometimes, I'll meet someone, see someone from afar, or even see someone on TV for the first time and I'll have a gut instinct that they are 'bad.' I'll have that instinct ring true at some later point by their actions.

Anyone else seem to have this radar?

  I have learned to trust my intuition.

  Yes, have you tried to feel some one else's pain?? Take that pain and let it go..

  Polaria...I like your reply. Letting it go is the hard part for me. I'm getting better at it though.

  Janvier, if you practice grounding, the pain you sense in others will be released to the earth. They will feel the easing of their discomfort and you will have helped a fellow being. If you image yourself as a tree or plant with its roots running deep into the earth, you will be grounding yourself.

  Polaria, this is good imagery. I'm going to try it.
  
  ShadowBox, when you say you sometimes have a "gut instinct" that someone is bad, do you mean you feel negative energy? Do you mean evil?

  Not in a heaven and hell sort of way, but "yes", I can sometimes sense whether they are 'evil'.

  Yes. I can feel things. There was a person who was murdered in a house. It was on a very long road and there were many houses. NNNNNEEEway, as we drove by I said to my mom there was a woman killed here but I don't know the house and she said its the one we just passed. I said I thought so bec. I got a really chilly dark feeling just as we drove by.

  ShadowBox...I know what you mean.
  
  It also works the other way...when you can sense that someone is good. Not "perfect" but full of good intent...a caring & warm & sweet nature.

  All the time, it always lands me in hot water.. As I make my feelings known early on.. I am always right, but others get taken in easily.. thankfully I am always proved right eventually even when people have hid their badness very well for a good length of time.. I always know a good person, the trust is just there straight away.. i can almost see it.. XXXXX

  I feel and sense things about the "goodness" and kindness of people versus those who have manipulative motives. (like my current boss)
  It can make it hard for me because I often wish I just saw and felt more of the surface emotions of life and saw more of the facade of people in workplaces, etc. It would make daily activities easier instead of that constant analyzing, fear, etc. that emerges when I see certain things/feel them pretty clearly.
  Also, at times I overreact to a negative trait in another and have trouble accepting it because of my ultrasensitivity. It's like there's part of me that is child-like and expects people to be "good" all the time even though nobody (including me) is "good" all the time.
  
  I Apologize if this is completely off the topic. I started out trying to relate it to the topic but I think that my brain, emotions and fingers typing went somewhere else. (-:

the highly sensitive person is someone who cares deeply about everything ... feels emotions with great intensity ... highly conscientious ... has a rich & complex inner life ... very intuitive ... needs lots of quiet time & space & freedom
