Julia, this is very interesting. I am borderline empathic, and since I work in an office it's often a challenge to dodge difficult-world negativity from colleagues (who are in fact lovely and mostly well-meaning). I would have thought writing it down, or saying it to someone would help manifest Difficult World, so I never did it. But I am willing to give it a try because as you say, just keeping it in tends to poison my system.
As I'm sure you're well aware, it depends on your intent, Sibylle. If you have that stuff inside you and it's causing problems (and "stuffed stuff" always will--either outwardly by tainting relationships with others, or inwardly, like creating disease, etc.),you're already going to be IN Difficult World! So getting it out, in as non-harmful a way as possible, is a step toward getting back to Easy World.

Thanks for that!
