The people I work with most tend to be highly sensitive and empathic. They have traversed through the Dark Night of the Soul, often more than once, or they are currently going through a dark night of the soul. They have often had close intimate dealings with a narcissist or sociopath or feel they are a magnet for the narcissists and sociopaths of the world.

This group of people may have grown up in family systems where there was narcissism, sociopathy, addiction and/or mental illness. They are often the black sheep of the family and the scapegoat for the family issues. They may have been scapegoated throughout their childhood from not only their family but their peers, teachers and even church. They may have been bullied a lot.

They grow up feeling very different from others. They feel misunderstood, unloved, unwanted and uncared for by those who are supposed to care about them.

These people often feel they just don’t belong in this world and they often push away the pain of feeling isolated and rejected by helping others in some way.

There are a lot of people on the Internet referring to this group as “Scapegoats, highly sensitive, energetically sensitive, empaths, and even “Chosen ones.” And in each description the same character traits are found and the same type of circumstances. These people often feel very alone and disconnected from the rest of society. They don’t fit in or feel they belong. It can be a dark and painful reality to live in. Unless, of course, there is self-awareness and understanding. Because here is the thing. If you belong to this group I am describing, you are not supposed to fit in. So lets get real.

Krishnamurti says “It is no measure of health to be well-adjusted in a profoundly sick society.” And there is a small percentage of our population, maybe 20-25% who were simply unable to adjust to our profoundly sick society. And this is a good thing.

If you begin to understand yourself better and the things that make our society toxic and dysfunctional, you can begin to rise up and recognize yourself as someone who is actually healthier in many ways then those who are so deeply plugged into the paradigm of our toxic, dysfunctional society.
