Have you ever found yourself laughing at a joke that wasn’t particularly funny? Offered insight and commentary on a topic you’re not even interested in? Or entertained someone who was blatantly rude or offensive? Most of us have practised performative socializing. We want to show up for people and engage in active dialogue.⁣ ⁣ However, we are all at different levels of consciousness and will not always jive with everyone in the room. But if you’re energetically dialed in, there will be times when a vibrational red flag comes up that you can’t ignore. It may be what someone says or how they say it that doesn’t sit right with you. Sometimes, it’s not words, but the tone that can signal something is off.⁣ ⁣ And though manners and kindness are important, so is exiting a low vibrational situation that makes you feel uncomfortable or unwanted – or one that is in direct conflict with your values. It feels much worse to abandon yourself and to grin and bear it than to excuse yourself from the conversation.⁣ ⁣ While it can often be a selfless and rewarding gesture, you are by no means obligated to educate and enlighten anyone. But if it’s in your nature or should you be up to it, some of these interactions can present learning opportunities and a chance to express a different perspective than the ones being shared.⁣ ⁣ But if worse comes to worst, lead with love, remove yourself from the environment, and resist the urge to judge others on your way out. Sometimes the most a conversation can offer you is a reminder of some unconscious belief systems that you no longer resonate with.⁣ ⁣ #VexKing
