Whenever I find myself wondering if I should defend myself, I ask myself two questions first:
- Are you really threatened?(Is my survival or my security at stake?)
- Do I really care about the outcome? (If I win the battle, does it really matter to me?)
I think you understand the concept of survival: Life/Death. Security means a state of being free from danger or threat (physical, emotional, mental, spiritual). Outcome = the resolution. If NONE of this matters, don’t bother with the fight. You will just lose energy. Your “emotional vampire” type people will try to get you to fight anyway. They want you drained, so they can suck more life out of you. Stay away from these emotional vampires! Your time to fight will come. Save your energy, Kateneiss! Hold your arrows for the fight that will count. 🙂
