Energy Vampires - How do they impact one's life

Do you have people around you in whose company you feel exhausted, drained out, out of energy, people who are constantly wanting your attention, people who lie to you, takes advantage of you, say's a sorry but doesn't mean it, only speaks to you when he/She needs you. if yes! They are called energy vampires.
Are there places where you go and you just feel like moving out of the place asap. Energy from food, for sure you experience different mood swings with different types of food. If you eat heavy red meat Vs a light veg diet the feeling in the body you’ll see the difference.
Now places and food can be in our control, we can choose which places to avoid or food that we do not need to consume, but people is out of our control.
Energy vampires can be temporary people who go through this stage for some time or those that are permanent who live like this forever. Energy vampires can be your family, friends, clients, colleagues, teachers, neighbors, lovers, or even strangers. And they come in all types.

There is the blamer, who lays blame on everyone else without ever taking any responsibility.
The guilt trippers use shame to get what they want.
Jealous bees can never genuinely feel happiness for anyone else.
Then there are the insecure ones, who pull others down to their level of low self-esteem.
The fun haters seem unable to embrace joy. The bullies stomp on the little guys to elevate their egos.
The whiners, the short-tempers, the gossipers, the drama queens, and the list goes on…
Whatever form they take, energy vampires have one thing in common: They cannot create or sustain their own life force in any positive manner. So they latch on and feed off on others, slowly sucking the life out of them.

No doubt you know people like this. You probably care about them, too. Heck, they may even mean well and very close to you! They may protest their love and care for you. That makes it hard to get away from these energy-sucking relationships.

Most of us to an extent have at least a one of such relation where we clearly know but we succumb to the relation that we have with the person.
Sometimes we pride ourselves on being able to get along with everybody, to “suck it up” and “be the bigger person. “and also we have a fear of alienating the opposite person.
But all the while, what you do is sacrifice your own precious energy.

The thing is, relationships are always an exchange of energy. People either uplift us… or they don’t.

You are the guardian of your own energetic space. And to live a healthy, happy, and positive life, it is absolutely vital that you surround yourself with people who promote the same way of living.
Have you ever had the experience of having the life sucked out of you by spending time with a particular person?

I’m talking about feeling exhausted, bored, irritated, stressed, anxious, threatened, overwhelmed or depressed after just a few moments in that person’s company.

There may have been times where you felt guilty for having negative thoughts about that person — which made you feel even worse. You may even have thought there was something wrong with you, such as feeling a headache coming on or stressing over a work deadline. Either way, you didn’t understand why you felt so out of sorts.

If that describes a familiar experience, chances are you have been in the company of an energy vampire.

At first glance, energy vampires can seem highly attractive. They often are good-looking, bold, flamboyant or intelligent, and may appear to have a high opinion of you as indicated by their flattering attention. Drawing you into their inner circle may seem like just the boost you need in your usually drab work environment.
On the other hand, positive people are in tune with their inner energy sources. Their energy flows outwards, spreading goodness and warmth to people around them. It’s like a fountain of overflowing water.
This is why you feel upbeat and energetic when around positive people — they have a magnetic quality that draws people in automatically. Great leaders, iconic figures and some celebrities have this quality that allows them to attract large masses of people.
