I have a narcissist in my life who is exactly like this. Being around him is miserable and I always feel drained and emotionally beat up after spending time with him. It takes all my energy to be in his company and I come away feeling depressed and exhausted. It's been so bad on occasion that I've even neglected imporant things in my own life because I just don't have the energy left to deal with them. On the rare occasions I've tried talking to him about it, the onslaught of blame made me instantly regret doing so. It isn't someone I can choose to cut out of my life without causing major problems I want to avoid, so this golden egg method is interesting to me! I will definitely look into that more and give it a try!
They are very charismatic initially. They look out for people who are vulnerable and perceived as easy pickings as well. They also get addicted to pulling the energy from others just like a drug to them.
Im going to turn this around, when I went through a stage of depression I was the vampire. I hadn't realised the person i was treating to a big dose of my negativity was such a wonderful person and it must have been horrible for her but she never said anything. One day I woke up and thought "shit, I can't believe my actions" and didnt contact the person again (it was someone from an online community many years ago!). Now I realise when I am in the company of someone who tries to take that energy and not let them take me down the path of being negative with them. Although I like a good moan, it can become to easy to let the anxiety get the better of you. Matt it is always good to hear from you, best of wishes for a wonderful week ahead, as always 🙏💜🙏
I have experienced that kind of person a few times. I took me a long time to realise that the only way of getting rid of this type of people is to finally and completely cut them off from my life. At the beginning it seems like a great friendship, and it sinks into vampirism slowly and in a very subtle way... They play on your sense guilt if you are not available 24/7, sucking and sucking. I ended up every time having to make myself permanentely unavailable in a sudden and abrupt manner. I just stopped answering their calls and mails, and in their mind, I am the unexcusable baddie who ends a "frienship" without any reason. My peace of mind has no problems living with that kind of tag from this type of human being 😉...
Hi Matt what you speak of is so true so real and the golden egg works.I have encountered these kinds of people who deliberately do this sucking of energy and watched their horrified expression when they encounter the barrier. It is good to use this golden egg method when out in frantic Christmas shopping crowd or things of this kinds it saves a lot of headaches and edginess that’s not yours.
