When communicating, people exchange not only information and emotions, but also energy. It so happens that after communicating with someone you feel completely broken and squeezed out, like a lemon. If this is an isolated case, then the recovery is quick and easy enough. But if you often have to deal with a person from whom you constantly feel bad, then this is a reason to think. Perhaps you are faced with a phenomenon called "energy vampirism."
Instructions
Step 1
To begin with, vampirism must be identified. It is important to make sure that you are not wrong. The obvious symptoms of vampirism are a constant feeling of fatigue, weakness, "bloodlessness" from interacting with the same person. It is important not to go to extremes and not start seeing vampires in everyone around you. As a rule, when a person needs energy from the donor (i.e. you), then the characteristic signs can be quite specific behavior. The vampire man constantly whimpers, "cries into his vest" and complains about fate, talking about how bad he is. He can discuss diseases, disasters and accidents. The energy vampire has a tendency to constantly find fault with you over trifles or openly go into conflict. The manifestation of negativity is also an element of vampirism.
Step 2
Analyze in what situations the vampire "feeds" on your energy. Perhaps this does not happen all the time, but at certain moments. If the number of such moments is insignificant (for example, a grandmother complains about an illness), then stop the conversation on this topic. In the case when energy leakage occurs constantly, it is advisable to stop communicating with this person. It may change over time, but right now the situation is such that breaking up or avoiding is the best way.
Step 3
Try to interact only with those people with whom you feel joy communicating. The exchange of positive emotions is the key to health and good communication.
Step 4
Listen to your intuition constantly. This sixth sense came to us from our ancestors and is able to solve the most difficult and confusing situation. Listen to your body, it constantly gives us signals in the form of muscle tension or pain. These are your two natural identifiers and helpers when communicating with people.
Step 5
Perhaps you yourself can sometimes act as an energy vampire. Knowing the negative consequences of this kind of activity, try to get rid of vampirism from your side. Think about what bonuses you get from this or that characteristic of energy replenishment. Determine how you can handle the situation differently without hurting others.
