Energy vampires are people who draw energy from others to a greater extent than they transmit. Natural relationships rely on a balanced exchange of energy between members. In the event that we are with someone who consumes our energy in excess, destabilization occurs. Then there is excessive fatigue, irritability, negative emotions and sensations. We become more susceptible to infections. The person who has absorbed our energy is saturated with it.
Who are energy vampires
Energy vampires are people who expect pity, excessive interest, throw out anger, regret, trying to use others for the wrong purposes. Such people feed on the compassion and kindness of others. They hunt for happy, sensitive, empathetic people. Such people are often antisocial or have narcissistic personality disorders.
Energy vampires are very often unaware of the power of their behavior.
They cling to pleasure without realizing that they are exhausting other people’s energy.
For such people, violence, raising their voices, vulgar behavior is a way to draw strength at the expense of witnesses, opponents of their actions.
Type – victim
Such individuals very often take the form of a victim. They hyperbolize their character and color the situation around her. They often use statements that they have the worst, that they have a very hard life, other people take advantage of it, do not help, and even make a horror of their lives. These types of people are pessimistic about life, they see the world in dark colors, they complain, they see problems everywhere.
Sometimes an energy vampire will perform displays of self-mutilation or attempted suicide (often just displays, with no actual desire to take their own life) to manipulate others.
Type – hater
Another type of energy vampire will focus on you. He will blame you for all the evil, humiliate you, look for these negative behaviors, deeds in you… These types of vampires manipulate the chosen person, benefiting from it. Yes, for example, there are groups in schools, selecting a person and persecuting them. Suicide victims are often energy-drained chosen ones of such vampires.
Type – a good partner
An energy vampire can also be an inconspicuous person, e.g. “good husband”, “good wife”. This person will even surround the partner or other close person, will watch over him, check him, expect constant confirmation of feelings for him, lack of closer contacts with others. Such a person will be overly caring, he will be overly concerned with the lives of others.
Be careful!
These are just a few examples that are able to open our eyes to who such people are. Being aware of whether they are in our environment, we can more easily move away from them, eliminate them from our lives.
It is very easy to sense such a vampire. If there is someone in our environment who makes us feel burdened, tired, torn by negative emotions after meeting him, then he is certainly an energy vampire. Often vampires are haters, journalists, and even some therapists (why do they expect to go back to problems instead of getting out of them?).
If you yourself are pessimistic about the world, feel sorry for yourself and your misfortune, take pleasure in it when others take pity on you, sacrifice for themselves – it’s time to move away from it before your surroundings leave you.
The graphics for the post come from the series “What We Do In The Shadows”, where the theme of an energy vampire is presented in a funny way. Such a vampire is Colin Robinson, who draws energy from boring others with his lectures or delving into even prosaic matters.
