Listen "How to Recognize an Energy Vampire."
Episode Synopsis
Energy Vampires is an often-used word to describe those who seem to drain energy. There are different energy vampires. Those who steal your energy for a bit and those who drain it entirely leave an empty shell behind.
The ones who drain a bit of energy are not vampires. Most do not realize they are drainers because they were just ‘raised’ needing power from another source. Unable to get the required ‘refueling’ from within, they seek it from another source. Once they learn the skills to manage their emotions and power, they’ll discontinue the need to suck others’ energy.
Energy Vampires, true Energy Vampires, suck all the energy from the victim’s bones. Leaving battered and bruised people in their wake. Energy Vampires are like a ghost ship traveling alone, looking for their next victim.
An empty, unfulfilled, and sad person.
They look around, layout their net, find the perfect person, and then integrate themselves into that person’s life. They become the most essential person in the office. Volunteering for extra work, arriving early, and staying late. Before their ‘victim’ knows it, they handle their calls while slowing degrading the people around them.
That is the first hint you have an energy vampire in your mist!
Hint two, They could teach a class in drama. Why? Nothing in their life goes well according to them. Their stories are funny and engaging and designed to reel you in as they increase the energy-sucking.
Eventually, their victims understand what is occurring, and the relationship ends. Typically not well.
When people make comments such as you could be sisters, you are so much alike, or comparing your both…run!
You have an Energy Vampire in your mist.
