RE: Sarcasm Doesn't Travel Well Online! Why Do We Use Sarcasm? Is Sarcasm Really Our Chasm?
I feel you are opening up to the right understandings here and can quite quickly accelerate your own emotional health and balance. 'negative talk' primarily takes the form of judgements which are not the truth, yet we are convinced are the truth or maybe fear to be the truth. to clear these requires a combination of expression of the associated emotions and a deliberate, conscious release of the beliefs and judgements involved. the more this is done, the more that peace will be the lived experience.
just because others are themselves unhealed and sarcastic/caustic does not imply that we must join them - you might be surprised what occurs when your own patterns shift in a deeply felt way - these others may choose to join you in your evolution in some way, or they may move away more often - which would be the right outcome, since we all have a right place and not everyone can join us there.
This is a good place to start. I've been grieving and going through the anger stage of it quite a lot, so that has definitely contributed itself as a barrier. But a barrier I am very consciously aware of, talking through, writing about and working hard to correct and change course! :)
the right way to heal anger is to feel it deeply and allow it to vibrate and for you to make sounds in an uncontrolled way. this is best done in private since most people don't understand this requirement for balance and may judge you are 'crazy' etc.
emotions are energy in motion, so if they aren't moving they aren't really being given acceptance.
