On a different path
Hello you lovely people,
I just wanted to get some advice. I am struggling with a couple of ladies (I am being kind saying that) that I work with. Recently I feel more spiritual and feel a vibration inside my body and I feel like I am seeing things and hearing things differently. The ladies I work with are like me in their 30 's and they are single. One has 2 girls the other is single. They swear all the time and talk about who shagged who at the weekends. They drain my energy and I am beginning to dislike them. I really don't want to judge but it's so hard. Is there anything I can do to stop me feeling the way I do around them?
Any help will be most appriciated

Hi Vicky
Sometimes it can be so hard if you're treading one path and others who you need to be with aren't and it's not easy to not judge or be condescending.
However, I believe the only behaviour we can really influence is our own and agree with Cornovii Queen that protecting yourself with a bubble or whichever way works best for you is probably the best answer.
If it's any help I think the frustration you're feeling is actually part of your growth and I've met many others who have gone through this too. some stay stuck there but most come out the other side a lot wiser and tolerant of others so don't give yourself a hard time about what your feeling - just be honest about it and you'll work through it.

Hi Vicky,
That talk isnt really appropriate for in the workplace and I would be of a mind to say that to them. Its fine if they want to go out for lunch and talk about that, but its not on while they're meant to be working. Not everyone wants to hear about their (s)exploits. If you dont feel that you can mention it, have you got a line manager you could speak to who could then have a word with them about appropriate language?
You could also try imagining yourself in a white collumn or blue bubble to deflect their language back at them.
