Paul gets busted lying
Paul: Okay so this is how I got busted. Satomi and I we work together. Working away on the computer. Then I realized after hours that I screwed up. I hit some technical glitch and I just wasted so many hours but I stay cool and calm to the outside as much as I can. [Laughter] But the thing is Satomi asked me anyway.
Satomi: Of course, I can feel his frustration. I can feel his pain. It doesn’t matter how he’s trying to cover up. It doesn’t matter how he tries to put on perfect poker face. [Laughter] I just feel it.
Paul: Because I do. Everybody says I got the best poker face.
Satomi: The thing is my whole body is feeling his frustration and it was getting bigger and bigger and bigger because his frustration was getting bigger and bigger and bigger. So it was painful and finally I asked him in a very gentle way, “Are you frustrated or something?” [Laughter] Because I don’t want to add oil into the fire and make his frustration even bigger so I was very gentle but the answer I got was
Paul: Oh no, I’m fine! [Laughter]
Satomi: (Yeah right!) Okay, you’re fine, then I guess I cannot do anything and I don’t want to stay here so I’m going to work somewhere else.
Empaths can always tell if someone is lying
Satomi: Oh my God! He’s lying again! You cannot lie to an empath. You can lie to other people, you can lie to yourself and fool yourself but you can’t lie to an empath! We know every single time when somebody’s lying. Paul calls it my superpower but I don’t know it’s just what it is. We know when people lie. Paul was getting frustrated. I was feeling the pain of his frustration. It was getting bigger and I asked him “Are you frustrated?” And of course he said “No.” [Laughter] Okay, great! Now he’s in denial and the pain is going to to get worse! You can choose to stay there in pain but not me, I’m out of here. That’s what happens.
With her superpowers, I can’t get away with anything!
Paul: Okay, so here’s the real deal. I’m just working away like a normal day but then I realized all of a sudden that I have kind of screwed up and I’ve lost hours and hours of work. And it’s a little frustrating but I’m good at covering stuff up so I’ll really work at it and I’ll keep it covered up right? No. She just asked me “Are you feeling a little frustrated?” Oh my God! Her superpower, I’m serious, I cannot get away with anything! It can be so frustrating to not be able to get away with anything. I feel now like I’ve screwed up again because I tried to cover it up but that didn’t work. So I’m trying to justify my situation. Just being a guy, I’m trying to fix it but what I’m trying isn’t working. Frustrating is building and building and then she just splits. She leaves and I’m just like “Oh great, now she won’t even help me fix it” so I get even more frustrated and I just get so mad!
Okay, so I’m busted, now what?
So, she’s left the room. [Laughter]
Satomi: “Bye bye!” [Laughter]
Paul: And I’m thinking “Oh great! This is awesome! I just gotta deal with it now. It’s not going to be fun.”
It can be hard but she helps me make better choices, reduce frustration and stress, and just be happy
Satomi: [Laughter] For an empath, it’s painful to be with someone who keeps pushing themselves. A little bit of push is fine, it’s healthy to push yourself to move forward.
Paul: Yeah and I’m like the KIng of Push though right? I just push myself all day long every day, I’ll just keep going, work, work, work.
Satomi: [Laughter] And that’s an unhealthy push. There’s a healthy push and an unhealthy push.
Paul: And I’m carrying that stress in my body and holding it in there and it builds up and it will kill you if it goes too far.
Satomi: Yes, that’s an unhealthy push right?
Paul: Yeah. So really it comes down to a choice. When she’s using her superpowers and busting me, I can react one of two ways. I can be frustrated about it and it can build up like you know... I’m frustrated already, and she comes in and she calls me on my Bullshit. I get even more frustrated. I try to talk to you about it and that just builds up into even more frustration. [Laughter]
Satomi: [Laughter] Frustration, frustration, frustration. Room full of frustration.
Paul: [Laughter] So, we could either go that way, or I can actually just be honest. I can tell you what’s going on that I am frustrated. And then that’s the first step in just letting it go.
Satomi: It’s just accepting that you’re frustrated. That helps you release the frustration. And face it and “Okay, I’m frustrated.”
Paul: Otherwise I bury it.
Satomi: Yeah, right? And you just say it that “I’m frustrated.” Right? And like he does now. [In Dolf Lundgren voice] “I’m frustrated!” [Laughter]
Paul: [Laughter] That’s what I sound like? [In Dolf Lundgren voice] “I... am... frustrated!”
Satomi: [In Dolf Lundgren voice] “I’m just letting you know, I’m frustrated!” [Laughter] But it’s good!
Paul: [Laughter] That’s so good!
Satomi: It’s so good that you’re releasing your frustration by telling me. You’re facing it. It’s okay to feel frustrated. But it’s not okay to bury it.
Paul: Yeah, but the complication comes in because I’m working hard to not get frustrated already. And if I do get frustrated, it’s like I’m failing so I have to get over all that and just fess up and just say [In Dolf Lundgren voice] “I’m frustrated!” [Laughter]
Trust your intuition
Satomi: So if you’re feeling uncomfortable around someone, this could be it. They could be lying, in denial, or having something negative going on. And so if that’s the case, you can step back and look at the situation honestly and deal with it in an appropriate way at that time.
Paul: Yeah and trust your feelings don’t dismiss them, right?
Satomi: [Nodding] Mmmhmmm. And we’ll talk about this subject more in other episodes and we’ll go in deeper in other videos on our Sakaso YouTube channel.
