Being highly sensitive doesn't mean that you're easily manipulated... we actually see the bs before everybody else does. That's actually a gasit statement.
We do see the bs, but the problem is we don't shut it down quickly. We think that we somehow can save people or something. We need to understand that we can't.
I'm an Empath and I've definitely learned how to deal with toxic people through trial and error even though they can be a nuisance. Unfortunately, we live in a world full of them.
I'm Ray Charles to the BS, play blind and dumb I rarely react. That's what toxic people particularly narcissists want- a reaction. The more you feed into them, the more power you give them. Preserve your energies, only invest your energy to people and situations that raises your vibrations ✅
I belonged to a church where different members would try to shame me if I cried in church. I knew I had to leave that unsafe space and find a safe loving church body. Which I did.
I put in my two weeks, manager turned all the staff against me. She lied and said that I couldn’t get my PTO payout and she was hounding me to do work down to the very last second of day. I hate when people like that get away with such things especially with me being a good worker/person. It’s completely unfair!
I loved the part toward the end where you talked about not overexplaining yourself or feeling like you always have to give your side of the story to defend yourself. I've been working on this recently but would love a whole video dedicated to this if its not already on the agenda. Love your videos always Karine~
One of the worst things to say to a child or amyone is to not be a crybaby bc this invalidates the person's emotions amd then the person can repress all their pain and the emotional pain is there still bit is not released amd suppressed emotions cause anxiety depression or anger
Yep, my whole family gaslight me all the time and have all labelled me as 'overly sensitive'....but I see it as them trying to discredit me coz I've seen something that they don't want me to see or know.
@@nalayini1504 Yep! Until I learned about Complex Trauma in 2020 - I never heard the term Fawning. Hearing it - suddenly burden of shame and guilt began lifting up. Until then I was convinced that something is wrong with me and that I do not know what it is. CBT and self help books blame anyone being abused as their own fault.
It is a blessing and a curse to be an empath. Being an empath can be extremely draining a lot 😩 Thank you fir droping another gem. You are the greatest Karine 🤗❤️
I needed this book recommendation. I put it on my audible wishlist. The church doesn't speak on these issues much, so thank you for doing this to help other Christians.
Thank you so much for this video. I feel so validated and I use to feel so sorry for people with the sob story. I would do anything to make them feel special and cared for because I know how it feels not to have that. After learning the hard way, I took myself to therapy and learned how to spot the signs so people cannot manipulate me anymore. Now I use my sensitivity to detect those selfish and manipulative people. As soon as I notice any sign of manipulation, I grey rock. I keep those people at arms length. Brilliant video Karine ❤
I needed this video. One of my close family members is a narcissist and its really hard to be around them. Im going to practice withdrawing my energy from them and limiting my interactions with them.
Thanks for posting this! ❤ I’ve always been called “too sensitive” when I confront people about their abuse or open up to someone else about it. I’ve learned to just pray about my situations and block out what anyone has to say.
I have stopped smiling unnecessarily when greeting my elders when they open the door. I just greet them with a plain face because they have never smiled back at me. Now i mirror their energy.i have reduced the amounts of times i used to nod at every sentence they said. Now i just hear without any reaction or eye contact. I even look at my phone while talking to them. I also stopped asking how are you, because then they start a barrage of complaints and cribbiing about how difficult their lives are. Iam not a therapist n i dont need to hear the victim story.
Thank you Karine I needed this SO MUCH today. I just took my leave from a wild love-bombing situation with someone who seemed so amazing but very intense and I think lowkey manipulative. It hurts so much, but at the same time I feel relieved.
Had to pause at 5 mins to comment this: THANK YOU. when you said you often erase or forget about someone’s behavior that is something I (did) and didn’t realize how common it is! I genuinely thought I was crazy for this pattern. I’m working to undo this but I just wanted to say thank you
Painful problem for me is after all of this. I have zero support system not a single soul. I never had any love or support for my family so they’re not it and the few friends I did have are gone now after that relationship
The answe is to stop being sensitive to their feelings and situation. Turn it back on them. I’ve started telling ppl that their feelings or situation isn’t my problem.
I am definitely an Empath...for me it's hard to find the right people to be around...friends for example..because I don't think a lot like most folks 🌊🌊🌊
Love love love this hair color on you. Because your undertone appears cool, this bluish black dark hair color is perfect. It makes you appear rich. Thank you for continuing to put out such inspirational content.
This is the first episode I've listened to! I just Subscribed to this one just yesterday...so sensuble, great video...yes...lots of Narcissists around.
My "best friend" did a fade away/ghost block type thing without allowing any type of conversation. Not sure who or if we both are the narcissist... I acknowledge what I did wrong but if you call someone a friend, they *deserve* a conversation. I would've never treated her that way. Like I'm suddenly nothing.
Karine, just a thought but could you make a video about how to repair a relationships? I don't know how it would work but just an idea. Thank you for the video love 💗💗
Listening to the description of the narcissist and other toxic traits in people makes me think of both of my parents. I think they might both be narcissists. But I worried about unconsciously ending up like them.
Hey Ms.Karine it’s Patrick I commented on your vids (I brung up Chyna) I must say this is a good video plus I didn’t have therapy today so thanks for posting this video and expanding my book pallet definitely gonna give it a read.
Pretty sure nobody wants to deal with obsessed delusional toxic people who clearly don't even want to deal with themselves ✌🏽 everything is not a mystery so stop the forced charades
Hola Karine, This honestly made me cry. But I’m so happy you shared. How do we join your book club? Are you taking new members right now ma’am?😂😅 This type of topic is just what I need right now to help me help myself stay strong as I’m doing the best I can + praying to gos for guidance & more conviction to BREAK FREE from the “easy to play with” or “easy to mentally, emotionally, verbally and spiritually ABUSE” SHACKLES. And over the past 2-4yrs I’ve learned so much from this channel AND your biography channel as well. I want to be happy and have healthier interactions with both toxic and healthy people moving forward so bad. But outside of that. Thank you for being you & thank you so much for all you do on this platform if no one’s told you lately. 🙏🏾🌹👑🤍
Where to draw the line? Set boundaries without feeling guilty!

Before we continue with the topic on hand Miss @karinealourde, lets know how you did that make up❤😂😂 beautiful.
Being highly sensitive doesn't mean that you're easily manipulated... we actually see the bs before everybody else does. That's actually a gasit statement.
we lowkey are, we tend to me emphatetic so they play on our sympathy
We do see the bs, but the problem is we don't shut it down quickly. We think that we somehow can save people or something. We need to understand that we can't.
I think we learn to spot the signs quickly over time. Now a micro face expression and I know your motive
unfortunately this is not everybody’s story. some people had to learn the hard way before they can even arrive at this place.
@@denise76This!!!!

Thisssss
Narcissistic supply.
the sad & scary part is that these toxic traits are in most people thats why I keep to myself & mind my business🧿😏
Please can you make a video for a highly sensitive person/empath on how to regulate our emotions and stay emotionally stable?
Oh yes that is a necessary one! I got you 🧡🧡
Just go grey rock and sat busy with your own chores..
Excellent topic suggestion ❤❤
Hobbies. REAL hobbies not tv the movies food. Active hobbies.
I belonged to a church where different members would try to shame me if I cried in church. I knew I had to leave that unsafe space and find a safe loving church body. Which I did.
That is so weird. Run away and stay away from those weirdos.
I put in my two weeks, manager turned all the staff against me. She lied and said that I couldn’t get my PTO payout and she was hounding me to do work down to the very last second of day.
I hate when people like that get away with such things especially with me being a good worker/person. It’s completely unfair!
She's probably mad that you moved on to something better. Your peace of mind is priceless.
She's a monster. Give them a title and they will show you, who they really are. They make everything personal. I work with one.
Karine is a beautiful and intelligent woman.
Amen sis. ❤
It's really a strength to be a Highly Sensitive Person, since we can clearly understand, pick up on and identify other's toxic traits and tactics.
It becomes flaw when we are taught and conditioned in ACE AcoA childhood to internalize blame.
Just in time! I'm about to fly down south to visit family 😂
Safe travels and have fun 🧡🧡
😂🙃
Im an empath and have been taken advantage of too many times. Lately ive learned to avoid anyone who is disrespectful towards not only me but others
Also in the Jamaican culture I was always told “crying is a sign of weakness” but however that has done a huge disservice to me

I agree and have applied those solutions to remove narcissists in my life (toxic and family members). Thank you for this video 🙌🏾
I found out in not even sensitive. My family just has issues due to military conditioning😅.
Girl learning to trust my gut after manipulating my own self forever is a wild time. Learning to be quiet and stay quiet is hardddd.
I needed this book recommendation. I put it on my audible wishlist. The church doesn't speak on these issues much, so thank you for doing this to help other Christians.

I set boundaries
I keep my emotions out of the way when dealing with them
These 2 still trigger them real bad

At the right time, intention and purpose though lol
Great suggestion! I definitely can 🧡

OMG 😢. I was just thinking about this yesterday. You really are a gem. Please keep the videos coming, maybe a part two ? 🎉🎉❤❤❤
Thank you!! This video was so helpful❤
Ok, I need this. I am doing better these days, a lot of them are gone. Learn to say no, and if it doesn't feel right, stay away.
Another gem! thanks Karine 🤗
So many gems !! Sis whats the name of the book(s) you reference here?
Such a great video🧡
And the thumbnails are inspiring!
Gorgeous Karine
I am getting this book tho!! Thank you!!
As a HSP, when I even SMELLLLL the slightest sign of manipulation. I disengage. Doesn't matter the level of the friendship.
Hey Ms.Karine it’s Patrick I commented on your vids (I brung up Chyna) I must say this is a good video plus I didn’t have therapy today so thanks for posting this video and expanding my book pallet definitely gonna give it a read.
Insightful
How to handle (in a Godly way) if the narcissist is your family specifically your mother? I want them to know God but I fear my safety.
💚💚💚
💚💚💚
