What is an Energy Vampire??

If you feel drained after every encounter with a particular person, you may be dealing with an energy vampire.
While there are several types of energy vampires, the one thing they have in common is the exhausting and disheartening effect they have on others. If you feel a relationship is continually siphoning off your emotional reserves and leaving you empty, there are ways to break this cycle
Everyone deserves to experience the benefits of improved mental health and emotional wellness. If you're ready to take the next step in your journey, here are some helpful resources from Choosing Therapy.

It's so funny that I'm getting this short after a series of What We Do in the Shadows ones 🤣

[@choosingtherapy]

The algorithm is on point with vampires but very off at the same time. Thanks for stopping by ❤️

​@choosingtherapy Collin Robinson is a literal energy vampire. He feeds off of the energy of people, he hunts them in a cubicle farm.

You can’t change that person but you can choose whether or not to distance yourself from them

[@diamondmonique7974]

Trust he will drain you dry and leave you first if you don’t leave now. Only God can help them kinds of people. Pray. Run. Pray. Run

[@briana177]

Leave as soon as you can.

[@ian_atkins]

I always thought an energy vampire was just someone who was kinda boring (like What We Do in the Shadows) but this was helpful to hearing that it could be someone who is creating drama, etc. too.

[@choosingtherapy]

We’re glad you found this helpful ❤

[@TonyisKing343]

Whatbwe do in the shadows does showcase several types of emotional vampires tho

[@mlpiper11]

I have two of these vampires at work. Come into the office feeling alright and left completely depleted of energy. Too much drama!

[@siicario405]

"Actually that's not how Energy Vampires work, read a book and educate yourself".

[@lmjones.9060]

Thank you. I'm setting boundaries with my vampire. Its sad Because she was nice when we 1st met and in the past 18 months she's turned into a total creep who it's all about her nothing is ever. Her fault and I could go on but i'm not going to.

[@user-sc3tv9ec3v]

What do you call a energy vampire that sucks the toxic energy out of bad people?

[@kartoontats3177]

So how do you repel these ppl? My stepdad was a abusive and manipulative person and to this day he still know how to trip me up and get in my head, and I feel like I only attract ppl like him. My ex wife was just like him and they’d get jealous and play me against each other

[@choosingtherapy]

Hi there! Sorry to hear that....here's an article we published that goes over how to deal with energy vampires: www.choosingtherapy.com/energy-vampires/
Hope this helps!

[@depurasangre86]

Same here! I'm 37 and always had this problem. The same kind of people keep showing up.
It got to the point I started to become quiet and introverted. Avoiding nearly everybody. I'm tired.
Especially I'll walk around avoiding eye contact. If I do look up and someone seems to look at me with some kind of interest....I get scared and believe it is another person trying to take my energy.
I hope you discover a tactic. The only thing I found that works so far....is wearing headphones and avoiding. But idk if this is healthy in the long run. Probably not. Good luck.

I am a physic Vampire 🧛‍♂️

[@choosingtherapy]

Thanks for sharing 🧛‍♂️

[@itsdarklikehell]

As a vampire myself, I can say you are wrong on a huge scale..
who says we only take, yes if one is unaware (unawakened), and due to the lack of many learned elders lately there are a lot of unawakend ones out there.
but trained and well versed ones should be able to not drain, or even only take leftover residue or take away any unnessacairy negative energies. a true and honest donor should be greatly appriciated. we call them black swans. its a verry high and honourous title to bare.
also an awakend one, could be trained in reiki and or qi gong. in fact, I think most of us are in fact energy workers or work in hospitals or with the elderly and such.
so i guess most of my donors would disagree with you, having me around is a lot of benefit for them.

Debt collectors are energy vampires!

[@choosingtherapy]

Maybe debt collectors fit into our types of energy vampires list. Give it a read here: www.choosingtherapy.com/energy-vampires/

[@opulentElephant11]

You didn’t say how to deal with them

[@choosingtherapy]

Hi there! Here are some tips from our article:www.choosingtherapy.com/energy-vampires/
How to deal with an energy vampire:
• Don't internalize their criticisms
• Set clear boundaries
• Don't expect them to be something they are not
• Prioritize self-care
• Be upfront and direct
• Don't feed them by overreacting
• Don't feel guilty for shutting them out
