Spot an Energy Vampire (Who Emotionally Drain You)

Vampire exists in a human form.

Did you use to be someone who was full of energy? You had a glow and spark in your face. You were always in a good mood. People recognized you for being in a good mood all the time. You were free and could be yourself.

And one day, you lost your spark and glow. You are always tired and you feel like you can’t be yourself. You’re not being seen and it makes you feel sick. Your face looks tired. Your eyes are lost and empty. You feel trapped, confused, and lost. You wake up and still tired throughout the day.

You start to become sick despite being in good health all your life.

All of that happened after someone specific has entered your life.

The definition of an energy vampire: Someone who steals other people’s energy to feel alive and satisfied again.

Energy vampires are either conscious or unconscious about it.

They may do it on purpose or they don’t do it on purpose.

Most of the time, they don’t know what they’re doing. Because they’re in denial and can’t admit for being an energy vampire who makes other people feel miserable and drained. It’s as if they don’t have a soul. They can’t see how they affect people on an emotional level.

Energy vampires can be around us right now. We approach energy vampires once in a while. It can be a family member, friend, or partner. It can be someone who hasn’t shown their true colors to you. You may live in a city full of energy vampires. Your workplace and the school you’re in are also full of energy vampires.

Energy vampires are deeply empty within. They feel powerless and weak. They dislike feeling powerless and weak, so they will hunt someone who can give them the energy they need. It’s you who they want.

The empaths are the main target. Empaths are like the sun; they are full of light and energy vampires want it. They have good energy and energy vampire want to suck their good energy, so they can become powerful and alive again.

Energy vampire talks about themselves all the time. They make a 20-minute speech about how miserable they are. They’re in constant victim-mode and how they’ve been such a poor, kind soul who went through so much in life.

They change topics quickly and you can’t follow up. It makes you feel dizzy and confused. You don’t get time to speak. In fact, you don’t even get a single word in, before they interrupt and talk over you.

They talk too much for a long time about nothing that makes zero sense.

They don’t want to hear about yourself. They want everyone to hear about themselves all day long. They want all the attention and love. If you confront their childish behavior, they will snap at you automatically.

Basically they’re just telling you this:

“Listen to my problems. Listen to me brag all day long. Accept all the crap I’m telling you. Listen to what I’m saying.. But if you talk about yourself, I won’t listen. I will look the other way. You’re not important. I am important. Give me attention so I can feel seen and heard. Please tell me I’m good enough, so I can feel powerful. Give me all your attention.”

They expect you to handle them, but they can’t handle you if you don’t fall for their toxic behavior. They expect you to accept them for who they are. They expect you to stay in their life. They want you to forget about how they make you feel emotional. It’s all about them and how you can handle all the trash they throw at you. They suck the life out of you, that’s why you feel tired because the life in you is gone. They’ve taken the life out of you. You’re being used as a drug.

• They will try to steal your energy.
• They need you in their life.
• You are their drug.
• They will give just to take it away again.
• They throw all their negativity upon you.
• They want you to make them happy.

The scary and offensive truth is you may be an energy vampire yourself. And you don’t know that. Maybe you were an energy vampire in the past but not anymore. Maybe you’ve become more of an energy vampire these days without realizing it.

Understand this

It’s not a mandatory job to make them feel happy again.

You’re not obligated to give the best of your energy to them.

Happy people have to be with other happy people. It’s not always happy people’s job to make unhappy people happy if they mess with your head and crush the life out of you. Listen to your intuition. Listen to the inner voice inside you that says “This person makes me feel sick.” — The inner voice never lies, it always speaks the truth. Say no. Cut them out of your life and notice how you can breathe fresh air again. You’ll realize you’ve been suffocated around that person for a long time.

In this article, I talk about how you should say no to protect your mental health. Say no to protect your energy, too.

No one can steal your energy unless you allow them to.

That’s why you have to set boundaries to protect your energy.

You have nothing to offer these types of people. It’s not your job to do that. It’s not your job to save them if they’re ungrateful to you.

One day, you will be yourself freely.

With people who allow you to be yourself.

You’ll breathe fresh air again.

Just claim your power back.
