Yes, I agree that suppression of energy/feelings is having a large negative influence society wide. Great video! It was reIeiving just watching you do it - I will try it.

I am feeling into lately the idea that when love is forbidden , we then must define our affection for it and announce our love publicly only via NOT loving something else . That suppression of our true attraction - the magnetic magic we experience for something that for whatever reason feel we are not allowed to entangle with and discover , is then going to show up inside of this suppression of energy , the holding back . For me , doing that deep dive inwards to discover what is it that I really want to energetically and actively discover outwards is so important to do . For me , I want to discover what I am from now on , not what I am not . I want to define myself by my active loving , not by my tolerating connection with that which I do not want to discover or know about ( love ) .

When we are clear about our values, our purpose, and the impact that we want to have in life, we will have created the boundaries that enable us to say no as a way to affirm the yes that defines our life. As a result, we live with positive energy, even when the crowd is trying to make us bow to their negative energy.

I wrote a short book about this last year. May Your No Be A Yes: A Guide To Making Better Decisions. https://www.amazon.com/author/edbrenegar.

Here are some extra thoughts: (a) most people who provoke does not mind confrontation, psychological sparring is fun (maybe not brawling tho) (b) beware of those who can give but not take, those are the "dogs" within the 2x2 grid, but they are different from confronting provokers ("enigmas") (c) not everyone has to be confronting non-provokers ("stars") or passive socialites ("cash cows"), things can get stale really quick.
