How much of my spiritual side should I show?
So a lot of people can’t tell I’m a spiritual person because I’ve learnt to mask my spiritual side. Mainly because of some hurtful comments about my spiritual beliefs/hopes and dreams from my dad. So I act like I have no hopes and dreams or spirituality. That makes skeptics and atheists attracted to me. I seem like a logical person who shares their lack of belief in the supernatural. I’m fine having friendships with skeptics and atheists, but I’m not sure I’d want to date them. I’m into music and I feel weird about dating someone deaf because they can’t enjoy music with me. I feel the same about spirituality and skeptics. I also don’t like it when people mock my beliefs. I’m not even sure how important spirituality is in my life to begin with. So I don’t really know how visibly spiritual I should act. Constantly talking about chakras, reiki, god and the law of attraction would be just as fake as acting unspiritual. I even mentioned that I enjoy doing reiki on a dating profile, but that didn’t seem to deter atheist types.

In my opinion, all of it. You can only be you, everybody else is taken.

I guess the real question is, how do I show my spiritual side?

I can Empathise with you but once you find that special person who you can share your spiritual side with,you will feel a lot better.
my husband didn't really have an opinion on spirituality when I met him.but the longer he was with me his own spirituality came out. Namaste |

Time to do things differently till you discover what your truth is. Or repeat the pattern till you are ready to release it then do something different. Be well |

I have this issue now too. The last hug said he was s Buddhist then later a Christian. I think he wax just acting like whatever I was or seemed to like in the moment to please Mr. |
I think that you need to communicate more with spiritual personalities and you will see how you grow spiritually. It will become easier for you and more such a question will not arise.

Be natural,take life in your stride.
Being spiritual does not mean turning people anyway from you. Spirituality is a personal thing. If I meet a disbeliever, I just smile, change the topic and get on with life. |
Know your truth.
I find I cannot share mine. It must be hidden. I still try it out on people, to see what they're open to. Again, I know that it is not needed. Unless I am going to someone directly for help with a spiritual means, than I am sharing. If I am seeking out someone for support in my spiritual beliefs, I believe sometimes that is what we do, like you did with your Father, to be careful. If willing to hold friendships with atheist and the like, set clear boundaries. Hold back information that is dear to you. Choose your battles. It is important enough, you are questioning it here. As some have told me, when you find your way, you'll glow, no matter what, and you will attract those that are right for you. I really like what, "TheGlow" points out in their answer. Beethoven was deaf. I think. |
