We all have some kind of energy present within us, and we release it to the outside world every time we interact with it.
However many times we don’t know how to control our energy: how much to give and how much to receive. As a result, at times, we can give away more than we receive, creating an imbalance within us.
This is the place where emotional vampires come into our life and absorb all the energy without giving much in return. An interaction with them will make you feel exhausted, low, and you will yawn a lot. A general feeling of spiritual fatigue will come over you.
There are certain people who have a “special” ability to drain our energy. Learn to recognize them and protect yourself so as not to unbalance yourself.
1. Those who use blackmail
The purpose of this type of emotional vampire is to annoy everyone about something. They would make others feel guilty by questioning their intentions and asking them why they did something. They make people go on a guilt trip. The best way to deal with this is to ask them back, that will surely confuse them!
2. Those who use hypercriticism
They are always critical of everything. They would like to slander others and make you feel like the victim. The best way to deal with them is to say “no” to their criticism.
3. The flatterers
They are great with their flattery. They would flatter you and make you feel like you are on top of the world. That’s just their way of making you more vulnerable so they can consume your .
4. Those who have the chronic complaint
They will always complain. Everything and everyone has a problem with them. It is better to let them be. Trying to win against the constant claimers is just useless.
How to be able to deal with emotional vampires
An emotional vampire can be present anywhere and we need to identify ways to avoid being affected. The best way to do this is by setting up a healthy communication.
One of the reasons we don’t have healthy communication is the energy imbalance that is already present in all of us. We have made “food” our only source of energy. We are slowly disconnecting from the spiritual world.
Sleep is also essential so that we can replenish our energy, but every day we sleep less. This is affecting our energy levels, leaving us more depleted.
According to common knowledge, an energy vampire is someone who has an energy imbalance. The reasons why emotional vampires make bad feelings flourish in other people are very varied: pessimism, egocentrism, narcissism, immaturity, lack of empathy.
However, it should be made clear that there may be cases in which the personality of the emotional vampire is not lived consciously. Some emotional vampires are not capable of realizing that they behave this way, and they do not realize the negative effects that their actions have on the people around them.
Of course, the fact that some emotional vampires are not fully aware that they are squandering your emotional well-being is no excuse for you not to seriously consider how to resolve, one way or another, the discomfort they create in you.
And you, have you come across any? Learn to detect the problem in time and take action at the right time!
