You think your problem is that you can’t deal with confrontation.   You find yourself keeping quiet:  you don’t express an opinion, or you agree when you don’t want to.

You ask yourself, “Am I weak?”

The real issue is not that you’re weak.  

 The real  issue is  - you’ve been gaslighted

How do you recognise the backlash of the emotionally insecure?

Emotionally insecure people are attracted to you because you’re empathic.

Is that a problem? No, it isn’t.

True empathy beyond the basics of feeling from another person’s point of view is an ability to feel your own feelings and to identify what they are.

Emotionally insecure people don’t want to do that.  They never want to feel their own feelings if anything they want to do whatever is possible to avoid feelings

They do that by always being on the defensive.

So, when you reach out to them as you would anyone else, they use their defence strategies -  such as ‘jokingly’ calling you too sensitive.

They normalise disruptive behaviour.

The backlash happens when they fear potential exposure of ANY vulnerability.

The same vulnerability that as an empath you would use for connection, because vulnerability means admitting feelings, being honest, wanting closeness.

Emotionally insecure people then make you wrong for wanting this connection, although at the same time they’re desperate for it.

So - what are the emotional security mistakes you make?

You don’t realise when you’re being gaslighted because you assume other people have the same integrity you have. 

Gaslighting is the systematic attempt by one person to erode another’s reality.

Gaslighters present false information to make their target doubt their own memory and perception, to the point where youhave to believe their version of events, even though you KNOW it’s not right.

When you’re gaslighted, you eventually doubt your own sanity.   Your esteem is worn down.

Emotionally insecure people do this to you because, I repeat, they don’t want to own any vulnerability -  or,  if they’re especially prone to gaslighting, it’s because they don’t want to have to do anything properly, or be held accountable for any errors or problems in their life.

So… what’s the magic of emotional security?

The key is to release traumatic bonding.

The backlash of emotionally insecure people doesn’t change unless you do.

Why? Because they love a drama.

Traumatic bonding happens in order to cope with living in a mad chaos.

You seek to cope by rationalising and excusing the othere person’s behaviour.

What I found I got sucked into for a long time was defending them:

“They’re not that bad”

You end up normalising disruptive behaviour.

It doesn’t work, because believing “There’s nothing wrong” only creates stagnation.

So what are three little things you can do to side-step the backlash of the emotionally insecure?

  1. Realise that being empathic doesn’t mean you have to hide someone else’s behaviour. If they are constantly making you squirm, observe why you’re trying to save them.
  2. Practice stopping apologising. If you come from a critical background you’ll have a habit of apologising for everything.  See what happens if you stop doing that.  If you panic or feel guilty, deal with YOUR own emotion – don’t try to pacify someone else’s
  3. Step out of the drama. Emotional security requires you to do that.

It will take a few goes – BUT

you will feel you can side-step the backlash of the emotionally insecure

Remember it’s not about perfect - it's about PROGRESS
