There is a special kind of people, after communicating with whom you feel as if you were literally squeezed out like a lemon. The strength went somewhere, emptiness and fatigue appeared. It would seem that only a couple of phrases were exchanged, but your inner state suggests otherwise. Such people are called energy vampires, and close communication with them should be avoided. In order to recognize an energy vampire, you need to know how to distinguish it from a simple interlocutor.
Instructions
Step 1
Of course, the first sign is if after the conversation you have the aforementioned feeling of emptiness and weakness. You feel tired, you want to sleep, your mood disappears, and weakness appears. To avoid this, you need to identify the energy vampire in time.
Step 2
This can be done on the following basis - this is his manner of speaking. The vampire is the first to strike up a conversation, and in a conversation he practically does not listen to you - he speaks more himself. His manner of speaking is authoritarian and aggressive, any your attempt to object, meets fierce resistance or cold withdrawal from the topic of conversation and transition to another topic.
Step 3
The person does not fulfill the social contract. For example, you share good news, but the reaction to it is not at all positive - the interlocutor dumps a full tub of his problems on you and, in addition, you feel his dislike - that everything is fine with you, but he is bad. He diligently tries to evoke sympathy and pity, and also tries to make you feel uncomfortable.
Step 4
The interlocutor does not consider your opinion and considers it necessary to impose his own, and it does not matter at all that you say the same thing. He can say the same thing, and with the same words, and will seek to convince you that he is right and you are not. Its main purpose in this case is to unbalance you.
