Energy Vampires

Energy vampires are toxic people who drain your life force, leaving you emotionally drained, whether they are selfish, manipulative, or just plain overly talkative.

They generally think of themselves and associate with others out of convenience. They tend to approach others to tell them their problems or ask for help, discover a closeness and seek to gain trust. They behave like victims and try to provoke pity.

They have in common that they leave a feeling of exhaustion after interacting with other people: they wear them down and generate discomfort and dissatisfaction.

They usually subtract, but never add

How can you identify and stop them?

• They are extremely narcissistic.
• If things don't go their way, they become cold and distant.
• At first, they manage to gain your trust and thus enter your life. That intimacy they create with you will allow them to get to know you and will be what they will use to keep you under control.
• Self-compassion is his trademark. They complain all the time about their circumstances instead of working to change the situation and thus get the attention of others.
• They are manipulators and controllers. They tend to belittle those around them and invalidate their feelings.
• They tend to monopolize conversations, talking about themselves all the time.
• They exaggerate inconsequential situations.

Tips to avoid them:

- Set strict boundaries in your relationship. Specify how much time, space and energy you are willing to devote to that person.

- Redirect their attention to you. It is highly recommended that you practice mindfulness, yoga or meditation to reconnect with yourself. Take care of your personal appearance, eat well... In short, value yourself and take care of yourself.

- If you still feel controlled and manipulated, get as far away from that person as you can, cutting all the ties that united you.

How do you know if you are one of them?

The worst thing is that we are all susceptible to becoming energy vampires. Who has not ever had a negative idea? Possibly no one. What does it give us to experience this type of sensation? Possibly nothing. Negative thinking is used solely and exclusively for one thing: consuming our own energy. Make us sad, make us angry, hurt us.

The best way to have excellent energy is by vibrating in the vibration that is ours. That is called harmony. To do so, we need to increase our knowledge and morals, which are components of wisdom. The wiser we are, the closer we are to living in harmony.
