Sensitive to negative energy since going raw

Since becoming a raw vegan (its been 4 days now) I noticed my sensitivity to negative thoughts/feelings from others has increased tremendously. I was already a sensitive person to begin with and could detect these feelings in others fairly well, its just it was easy to distract myself from them and think about something else before. Since eating clean high vibrational foods though, I can actually feel these feelings as I encounter them and it is not pleasurable. I want to clench my stomach and throw up.. Probably why I've been spending most of my time alone these past four days. It takes more energy to be around -most- people than it seems worth it. I feel the ruts and cycles my family is mentally struggling against in their minds and the effects it is taking on their bodies....it makes me sad, but at the same time I have to be grateful I have become aware so I can take a different path. It just sucks when you have no one around to talk to about this stuff....maybe that's why I've become an internet junkie as of late! Can anyone else relate to this even a little since becoming raw?

I could kind of feel things before going totally raw but it is a lot stronger since going raw. I spend a lot of my time alone and it's okay - I don't mind it too much, get lonely sometimes though :/

I've become a lot more patient and compassionate and just all around more aware of how I feel and how I affect others.. it's a great feeling. Glad to see that you're still on this raw path a year later. That's truly inspiring and I hope to do the same :) So thank you.

I usually get out of the house and take a long walk or bike ride, being outside in the sun helps alot... if I'm house bound or have 'no choice' but to be around them I quietly wish the best for them in my own mind.. I focus on the fact that I am only incontrol of myself and that they have free will just as I do. I quietly send out a prayer that I can lead by example- If they pick up on it, fantastic! And if not, I know it wasn't destined to be, and its much easier for me to accept it and feel at peace with myself again.

Comment by Nicole Collett on November 14, 2011 at 1:55am: most deff. Having people in real life(lol) affirm you in your experiences with REAL LIVING, is essential to feeling like you belong. Even though others online offer that security, in-your-face negativity is overwhelming. I can definitely relate to that much. As for family...mom in dialysis and doctors telling her she cant eat half the fruit and to eat as much "protein" as humanly possible(what does that even MEAN?!) creative genius bro downing mayonnaise bologna cheese sandwiches(wut vegebles?) and lil bro pale, acne prone and too skinny cuz image conscious..and they wonder at length why they struggle w/ depression. It kills me. But I can only be the change I want to see in them. Love them by loving myself as an example. hope this helps, cuz it sux at times

Comment by Mike Rawsome Grant on November 4, 2011 at 11:29pm: Yes, I often want to get rid of some of my long time friends and family because of how they make me feel when I am around them. They attempt to judge my lifestyle yet they are miserable all the time. Even when they aren't talking, it is just how they carry themselves. Instead I limit my interactions with them greatly.

Comment by Aysel on November 4, 2011 at 10:46pm: Yes, I can relate to you too. Sometimes I choose not to be around negative people anymore. When you make this choise, you'll attract new people with positive energy (=law of attraction)

Comment by JackfruitJames on November 4, 2011 at 9:39pm: I notice I feel more that way when I haven't eaten enough. It took me a while to learn I had to eat a lot more volume than I thought. Since then I am rockin and other peoples negative energies don't effect me. I use the simple and easy to use calorie and nutritional program as recommended by long term established 801010ers called "cronometer". It's free and helped me to see how much food I have to eat. It's at http://cronometer.com/ It has helped me tremendously. It's also a great tool to show others what's in your food when they start getting concerned about this "crazy" or "unbalanced" lifestyle.

Comment by matea on November 4, 2011 at 4:10pm: Hey Alexa, I can def relate to you. Though granted the first 4 days are going to be especially unusual. It's been 5 months for me now and I've become much more acclimatized to the high vibrations. And I've become able to be more compassionate than ever to support people on other paths. Over the last few months, there have just been phases.. like a period of days when I suddenly became aware how different I was ... as if I was too fragile to exist in this world... but stick with it, and even those moments will pass.

Then in other moments, I will realize how much strength I have - because my endurance is so much longer than that of those around me, that being my emotional and physical endurance. I'm more patient, positive, and attentive. I feel drained less often and more proactive to pull myself out of situations that drain me. Anyway, stick with it, you'll see so many awesome transformations only after various crises! Good luck.
