How can I be “spiritual” yet be put off by people who seem “similar” to me?
“Why do spiritual people annoy me?”
Hi Maria!! 🙂
I recently got back into the dating game, and I have been attracting people who are “spiritual” (even though there was no mention of that on their dating profile, so it was not intentional, not consciously anyway).
They seem to be into similar things to me – mindfulness podcasts, meditation, self growth, watching videos of gurus (although that I don’t do anymore but I used to), and even seeing number syncronicities which, when it all started for me 6 years ago no one knew what the hell I was talking about lol (11:11 and all that).
It has been a very interesting experience, because so far up until very recently, I haven’t met ANYONE who was into ANY of that stuff, and now it seems to be almost like a trend?
I used to think it would be awesome to meet someone who finally “understands” me, whom I can talk to about these things but the opposite happened – I felt EXTREMELY put off by the whole thing and had ZERO interest to talk about all that stuff! It felt very heavy and just wrong.
Some would talk about consciousness and it almost felt like they were trying to teach me lol… it was very annoying, and I sensed an arrogance to it too.
Most of the stuff they were saying were things I knew already, so it’s not like they were talking nonsense, but it still felt wrong for some reason…
And then I had 1 date with someone who was just completely normal and not into any of that stuff, he just liked doing his guy things lol, work out, walk his dog, into surfing etc and that was so much more appealing to me, almost like a breath of fresh air lol.
So! My question is –
How can I be “spiritual” yet be put off by people who seem “similar” to me?
To be honest, it almost feels like I am shifting away from the whole spiritual “concept” entirely.
I still connect with Life, I get my insights or “downloads” so of course I know there is more to what we see, and I’ve been on this journey for so many years now too, but it’s almost like it’s all falling away and I feel this peace and relief almost?
I know this is part of the “process” because everything is part of the process 🙂 but this is a new one for me! So was curious what your thoughts were 🙂
