If you often feel like a sponge for other people's moods, this video offers a different perspective on how energetic protection actually functions. You will learn how to shift your mindset from passive absorption to active generation of your own emotional state.Drawing on a concept from Antonia Dodge, I explain why you are not actually taking on the feelings of others. Instead, you are often generating those responses within yourself.

This approach is essential for anyone looking to improve their emotional intelligence and maintain stability.Subscribe for weekly INFP and personality type breakdowns, and comment below if you have ever felt like an emotional sponge in social situations.️ TOOLS I USE:Video editing → Descript (50% off 2 months) https://descript.cello.so/xEAztGmHclIBuild apps without code → Lovable (10 free credits) https://lovable.dev/invite/CIPXD88AI voice dictation → Wispr Flow (free month of Pro) https://wisprflow.ai/r?MATT3746Mic I use → Shure MV7+ https://amzn.to/3QDQCpgGet vidIQ to grow your channel faster! → https://vidiq.com/geekpsychology
