There are a few
very easy ways to tell if someone is an energy vampire, and some that are not
as so easy. For the most part, however, they do not try to disguise themselves
in any way, because they do not feel anything is wrong with them. They feel
that they are normal.
5 Signs Of An “Energy
Vampire”
1) Negative
people!
Negative people
are very easily spotted. Especially since they tend to pride themselves on the
fact that they think this way. They are negative thinkers and they complain
about everything. They are very powerful in their negative thinking. Even
sometimes to the point of being overbearing.
- They like to point out in a very arrogant manner how “stupid” people are around them, people who “believe” in a better way, or “believe” that things will get better.
- They don’t understand why these people refuse to accept the fact that life sucks, and bad things happen!
- They complain about everything, from the weather, to what is on (or not on) TV.
- They are argumentative, and they argue about everything. If you say the sky is blue, they will say it is aqua, or that it is actually an “illusion”.
Negative people
like to be argumentative, and they love
to bring people down to their level, or bring other peoples vibration down.
They same way in which negative people become very apparent on your radar, when
you begin to raise your vibration. Positive people are also very much on the
radar of negative people, so if you are positive or becoming enlightened, or
more spiritual, you will stand out to them, making them uncomfortable. Since
they are also very aware of any mismatched vibrations, they pride themselves on
being able to bring other people down to their level (or vibration). This may
not be something that they say verbally, but internally this is something they
seek and strive for. It makes them feel more comfortable.
2) People who
are depressed, sad, needy, or critical most of the time.
This is similar
to number one, however, instead of being overbearing, they have more of a
victim undertone. Everyone has felt this way on occasion, and experiencing
these emotions from time to time is totally, and completely normal. However,
what I am talking about are people who chronically feel this way, with only brief
bouts of happiness. These people are not hard to spot; in fact, you probably
can name all of the people you know like this in under a minute.
- They are depressed, and sad, with a victim like undertone to who they are.
- They seem to be a victim to everything.
- They may have an “I am not good enough or smart enough” attitude.
- They take no responsibility for their own life or situation, because it is not their fault, life has dealt them a bad hand.
- They are very NEEDY people!
Now granted some
of these people do need to be on medication, or need professional help. But
others do not. They are just cranky, needy people! They do not think there is
anything wrong with them, and make this behavior a lifestyle.
These types of people will most likely never change, even
when you sit down and try and help them find a way out. You must always be
there holding their hand, telling them that things will be okay, guiding them
towards the right direction.
They are incredibly draining and frustrating to deal with,
because they are also very deceiving.
What I mean by
deceiving is you can spend a great amount of time helping them with a
situation, or helping them to “feel better”, and you can actually begin to feel
like you are make some progress. They appear to be a little bit better, and
they express eternal gratitude for you having helped them. So you leave their
presence, feeling like you did a really good deed for the day. Only to realize
later, that it was a temporary “feel better” moment. When you were not around,
they went right back to square one. So you start over again, trying to guide
them towards a better life again. You can clearly see it, why can’t they?
Because, this is who they are, a better life is
unreachable.
You cannot, and
will not, ever be able to help someone in this situation. If this is a
repetitive pattern, they need a professional who is not “emotionally invested”
in the outcome, and most likely this is not you. They need to find it within
themselves to want to make a change in their life and you cannot do it for
them, it has to be an internal wish.
These types of people tend to be very comfortable where
they are at in life, we are just uncomfortable watching them stay there.
This is no joke.
People many times resist with all of their might moving out of their comfort
zone, and this is a comfort zone for some people. They need their own “aha”
moment, and unfortunately, this is something which has to be discovered on
their own.
3) People who
are searching to fill a void in their life.
This can be a
tricky one, because unlike the other four signs here, this one is not always
easily detected. When people are unfulfilled in their own life, sometimes it is
very easy to tell, as they will represent some of the other signs as well. But
sometimes, when people begin to search for another way of thinking, or they
begin to search for a purpose, which fulfills them. They can become what is
called a “human sponge”. Which is both good and bad. They will sponge up
knowledge, and they crave it, as if they have been in the desert without water
for a very long time. The knowledge begins to feel like “replenishment” to
their system, just as the water would. However, human sponges also tend to soak
up as much energy as they can from the outside world, which many times will
include you and your energy, if you are in their vicinity.
These people are usually very nice, well-meaning people, in
search of something better for themselves.
This is why it
can be so tricky, they are not negative, depressed, sad or even critical, but
they are just lost souls trying to figure things out. In fact, many times from
the outside looking in, they can seem very pleasant. But with a newfound
“thirst for knowledge”, also comes a newfound “thirst for energy”, resulting in
becoming an energy vampire. As these people begin to find their way, and find
purpose in their life, their sponge will begin to fill up. They will no longer
need to be an energy vampire, as they will begin to replenish and recharge
their own system.
4) Drama queens.
This is pretty
self explanatory, but in case you don’t know what a drama queen is, they tend
to like drama, or be very drawn to it. They like to cause, or stir up trouble,
and get everyone fighting. This can become a very addicting type of behavior,
because drama queens like the way it “feels” when energy is all stirred up in a
chaotic manner. The chaotic energy they feel from the drama, they enjoy! It
gives them excitement! What is really happening, however, is this type of
person needs to have drama going on to essentially “distract themselves” from
feeling unfulfilled in their own life. So they cause, and start a
distraction…aka drama.
When you are
doing something exciting, rewarding, or fulfilling with your life, you can feel
the energy stirring, internally. Positive stirring of energy feels good…it
feels exciting! When you are unfulfilled on a soul level, however, you do not
feel any energy stirring up inside. So sometimes people try and figure out how
to mimic that feeling. These people many times will mistake “chaotic energy”
for the “positive, fulfilling energy” you feel stirring inside when you are
doing something rewarding.
5) Angry people.
This can be a
rough one. Angry people, like some of the other “energy vampires” are also very
easy to spot. However, these energy vampires are different.
These people can be very, very intense.
When dealing
with angry people, they draw energy from you in a totally different manner. You
put your guard up…literally! You put up an energetic shield in order to protect
yourself. This is energetic shield is a real thing. When you feel as if you are
walking on eggshells and feel like you need to have your guard up, in
actuality, your spiritual body will put up an energetic guard or shield.
An energetic shield, will protect your spiritual self, from
their intense anger and energy.
You will expend
a lot of energy creating this shield out of necessity and protection. Angry
people will then draw upon the energy used to create this shield. They will
also go on attack. Here are some ways in which angry people will try and attack
you:
1) Verbally.
2) Sometimes physically.
3) Talk about you behind your back.
4) Sabotage you when they can.
5) Do what they
can to make your life miserable.
These people tend
to have a vicious and evil undertone to them. There intentions are not good,
and they seek out people to destroy emotionally or otherwise. This is “the dark
side”. When you have to protect yourself energetically, verbally, or physically
from someone consistently, there is no way to deal with this type of situation
other then cutting them out of your life…period!
