How Energy Vampires Drain Your Spirit

Energy vampires drain positive energy in many ways, such as:

* Intruding on your life, ignoring boundaries and privacy (energy vampires don't think of you).
* Making big deals out of nothing. Energy vampires are often called "drama queens" because they can easily turn a broken nail into a Shakespearean tragedy. Negative energy spreads from everyday events.
* Complaining constantly about their partners, jobs, children, bad luck, and illnesses. Energy vampires like to vent.
* Criticizing your hair, appearance, job, children, partner, friends, and pets (energy vampires aren't positive).
* Not taking "no" for an answer. Energy vampires don't consider your needs.
* Being unrelentingly negative. Their negative energy is relentless, and energy vampires drain your positive energy by encouraging you to be negative, too.
* Blaming everyone else for their problems (energy vampires don't take responsibility).

How Energy Vampires Drain Energy & Why You Feel Depressed After a Conversation

You know you've spent time with an energy vampire when you leave feeling depressed, exhausted, or sad. Energy vampires drain your positive energy for their own use. Energy vampires leave you feeling empty and sluggish — and to compensate or build positive energy you may eat, drink, shop, or sleep for hours afterwards.

Energy Vampires Need Your Positive Energy

Energy vampires come in all shapes and sizes: loud and aggressive, soft-spoken and shy, charming and seductive, pushy and overbearing. Energy vampires have energy leaks that they need to fill. It's up to you to stop energy vampires from draining your positive energy. Often energy vampires don't even realize they're bleeding you dry. Energy vampires have often suffered some sort of crisis, whether in childhood or adulthood, and they're compensating to get rid of their negative energy. Energy vampires may not be deliberately, maliciously stealing your positive energy -- but they're definitely not contributing to a fantastic relationship.

Energy Vampires may drain positive energy, but you can learn to stop them!
11 Ways to Protect Yourself From Energy Vampires:

1. Limit the amount of time you spend with energy vampires. The less time you're together, the less positive energy you'll lose.
2. Learn effective ways to end conversations with energy vampires (eg, I only have ten minutes to talk.")
3. Stay calm and detached from energy vampires. Don't let their negative energy consume you.
4. Be honest about your needs (eg, "I need this time to work/read/relax/exercise.")
5. Refrain from attempting to rescue them or fix an energy vampire's problems.
6. Practice walking away from energy vampires.; the more you do it, the easier it gets.
7. Limit eye contact with energy vampires.
8. Avoid being in close spaces with energy vampires (elevators, cars, etc). Negative energy is catching.
9. Define and guard your personal space from energy vampires.
10. Tell energy vampires you feel uncomfortable discussing particular people or circumstances.
11. Stand up for yourself and your boundaries! Your time, positive energy, and resources are precious and should be closely guarded from energy vampires.

I actually had to work with a woman who was an energy vampire. I was stuck sharing my office space with her for a year. She still works with me but no longer in close proximity to me. I did not realize how bad she sucked out my energy until we were no longer sharing an office. She had a horrible personal life. Abusive husband, etc. Every day was drama with the husband, kids, police, social worker, fights, jail, you name it, it happened to her. She was also nice to my face but tried to undermine me behind my back. This was because my life was not chaotic like hers.

And this is true, after I moved out of that office, another (younger) woman moved in. Within 6 months they had to call an ambulance to cart this girl away. She had an acute panic attack and they took her away on a stretcher and I never saw her again. I KNEW it was from being in such close quarters with that psycho woman. When we moved to a new building, this woman asked my manager if she can sit by me!!! She also tried to follow where I went to lunch with my friends every day. She is still causing havoc at the office every day.

CAlling it "vampire" dramatizes it and uses up some mind energy + emotion energy - FEAR.

I used to be wary of energy vampires, but they exist in anyone lacking in energy.. and most prevalent in water/fire signs because emotions are what they need.

Those people are no longer in my life.

I slowly shoved them out about 3 years ago, and haven't looked back since.

When I finally said goodbye to the last one, I breathed such a huge sigh of relief.

You don't realize how much you allowed them to hold you back, and make you doubt yourself until they're gone.

I don't believe in vampires.. but I do believe that the persons energy wave can influence another person to be a certain way. Or some can be controlling, unknowingly.

It's all Law of Attraction. I wonder if you've seen one of those videos. It's how you can deal with it yourself. People are what they are going to be.. this world isn't going to be perfect.

It's all a psychological thing. I think there are people out there who have a odd attraction for blood (yuck). But people draining another persons energy, it's just a psychological thing.

See it for what it is and then you will realize it's really not a big deal. It's like watching a scene lol -- it's 2 sides.

OH Hey, lol..
