The Living Force
For the last 3 years or so I been experiencing non stop attacks. These attacks are mostly character assassination and bullying. This is done by people I don't know and they occur all day everyday whether I leave the apartment or not.
When I'm at home, what I'm perceiving is people yelling and talking constantly. They say the most disgusting things imaginable (think of the most racist and sexist words). If I go out on the terrace, it goes from being completely peaceful and quiet to a cacophony of angry, nasty people, door slamming, cars honking, dogs barking, babies crying, etc.
If I go out (which is rare now), it's all of the above with the addition of it now being directly in my face. People in supermarkets, sidewalks, cars etc. constantly cutting in front of me. The synchronous and constant nature of this is exhausting.
While I made the decision a while back to deal with this situation with good humor and to learn from it, it is nevertheless wearying. I do what I can to take good care of myself and still see the universe as an incredibly generous "place". Many wonderful things have happened that wouldn't have if not for this craziness.
I don't care about what others think of me and am not hurt by what is said, I just want to be able to have a few moments of peace sometimes. I am meditating and that helps, but how does one deal with the constant and seemingly physical nature of this? If it was every now and again, it wouldn't be so bad but the constant stalking (although I don't care for the word, it is the correct one) really feels like too much sometimes.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to negotiate your life through this? I currently employ, looking directly at people which stops some of it for a while, but then they just start yelling from windows and down the street. This is my perception anyway.
I've always been an introvert. Perhaps this is why this particular tactic is being used? Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated.
