Who are energy vampires?
Of course, such a diagnosis, as energy vampirism, does not exist. But it can not be denied that some people have the ability to take power. In their presence, spoils the mood, although, it would seem, there are no prerequisites for this, or, after communicating with them, drowsiness, fatigue and apathy are felt.
Recognize these people is not difficult, most often they are of two kinds - active and passive.
Active energetically vampires behave often in a boorish manner, defiantly, specifically provoke the release of strong emotions. It is with these people that quarrels and conflicts often arise. In their arsenal, not only abuse and outright insults, but also insulting hints, ironic remarks about the interlocutor, condescending manners and disdain. They strike precisely where the person is less protected, and since such people usually have well-developed intuition, they rarely make mistakes when choosing a goal. The person responds to provocation, and thereby gives the energy vampire the opportunity to pump the energy himself.
Passive energy vampires behave no less actively, but they act in other ways. They are not aggressive and do not provoke conflict. On the contrary, such people try to impress the understanding, but for some reason always something or someone offended. They are treated unfairly, they are oppressed, humiliated and offended. In their arsenal are hundreds of stories about the numerous misfortunes that have haunted them since birth. Sometimes they are very religious or, conversely, fall into the other extreme - into mysticism. Such people always try to press on pity, on conscience and on other feelings. They do not require any specific assistance, it is important for them that they listen and talk with them about their misfortunes. People often do not notice how such conversations seem to devastate them.
Energy vampires can act in other ways, being a victim, then a tyrant. It depends on how much they have a strong lack of energy.
How to deal with them?
First, it is worthwhile to know that energy vampires very rarely guess about their abilities. In their eyes, they do not look like monsters and do not understand why people feel bad in their presence. They do not see the connection between their own state and the emotions of other people. Secondly, it is, rather, sick people who for some reason can not keep their vital energy unlike other people.
For starters, it's worth limiting your communication with such people. Sometimes it is difficult, because energy vampires can be very close people. In this case, you can talk with them and explain that you do not like this communication, in which you are forced to bear the outbursts of aggression, then attacks of melancholy. Explain that you will no longer allow yourself to be manipulated.
If such a person continues to try to lead you to emotion, do not rush to blame him. Sometimes such people act unconsciously. Energy vampires are not afraid of aspen sticks, nor garlic. But they can be controlled by usual ignoring. When you feel that you are trying to manipulate, just ignore it - do not talk or sharply change the subject, laugh, joke. If you do not receive the necessary vampire energy, he will give up trying to get it by any means.
You should know that energy vampires are not found in cemeteries or in other dark places. These are ordinary people who have a special property of nature, only and always. Such a person can be anyone - a random fellow traveler, an old lady in line, your colleague, friend, spouse or even a character on the Web. If you quickly realize that you are being used and stop reacting, you will see that the energy vampire is powerless. In any case, they are definitely not to be afraid of.
