It’s all about energy: attracting the good, deflecting the bad, protecting yours. I spend a lot of time in my space with just my cat. No one comes in (except my cleaner!) because I need to keep it “pure”. I’ve never liked people in my space, and I’m only recently come to understand it’s because I’m an empath. And I prefer not to spend too much time with random people for the same reason. I do *not* like crowds!
