In a world overwhelmed by vibrations—some uplifting, some draining—how do we navigate friendships when certain energies seem to sap our joy instead of fueling it? Driven by an insightful query from a gal with a packed 8th house, we delve into the complexities of protecting ourselves from the not-so-obvious negative energy that can ripple through our relationships. Has jealousy crept into the corners of your friendships? Are subtle, deniable gaslighting tactics bringing you down? With today’s astrological influences perhaps amplifying our sensitivity, it’s vital to explore ways to defend ourselves without resorting to extreme measures like cutting ties. Join me as we sift through the messy realities of emotional labor in friendship, the challenges of being an 8th house person, and why it might just be okay to keep our circle small. Ready to get started? LEARN MORE.
“…How do you defend yourself against bad energy that is not so obvious or just a bad energy of other people in general (without taking such “dramatic” decisions like cutting them off)? We were such good friends for long period of time. What is interesting this is not the first time I’ve done this to people. I’ve had bad luck throughout the life with people being jealous of me and I’ve paid a price because of that many times.
How do you deal with bad energy of other people which you did not cause or provoke, but still has a negative effect on you?”
Knowing I have a packed 8th house, a gal in a similar circumstance sent me this note which I condensed and edited for clarity. This gal has just amputated two 10-year-long friendships because her friends were knocking her down in ways that are plausibly deniable. Gaslighting, basically. She could see through it. For the sake of discussion, let’s assume she’s read the situation correctly.
She’s asking if this is just how it’s going be or how it’s got to be. I think it probably is but I’m willing to explore this and ask others to weigh in.
To answer her specific question, ultimately, you defend yourself by amputating. So what she’s really asking is can I live with this?
You can live with it but if you have a choice, I’m not sure why you would. If you work with someone like this, you’re stuck. But if you’re involved socially with someone who hates you and you can get away from them, I would. Note, the person may not even realize they hate you. It’s subconscious,
Yes, you can use their negative energy! But there’s no shortage of that. Negative energy is everywhere! Why invite it in? Why bring it to your house?
8th house people have to get comfortable with the idea they make other people uncomfortable. It also helps to realize you don’t want a million friends. You’re too private for that.
This is challenging if parts of your chart are “social”. I’ve got this problem, myself. But the fact is, you’re going to appear shadowy if not flat-out dark to a significant percentage of people. You can’t control this. You can’t control others! There is no cure! People start out liking you, or your veneer that is. But your actual self disturbs them. I’ve been through this a million times!
Eventually you realize you’re designed to have just a few friends. TRY TO KEEP THEM.
Over time, you realize you’ve got to contain quite a bit or it won’t be possible. I’m sorry but this is what I’ve learned.
Can anyone else weigh in?
