Yoh my sister complains about work almost everyday, its so tiring to listen to. She also complains a lot while driving which I feel is affecting me too as I'm not an experienced driver yet (not blaming her). I'm learning that I shouldn't complain too much & when something isn't done right I should just ask calmly & directly instead of speaking in riddles. Complaining excessively & not being able to speak assertively go hand in hand. I'm done complaining, no to being an emotional vampire.

I don't hold myself hostage to others toxicity ANY MORE,I use to smile and bear,I. Excuse myself politely and exit right....

I have toxic family members. That's why I never follow the family tree . Be your own person and move on.

But you talking only about one type of emotional vampire the one that actually not that harmful ! Cannot believe this it’s TV . That’s why TH-cam rules . TV started to suck !

The ones that SNEAK up on you or catch you off guard still bother me...mocking your sister’s Mother-in-law is just not normal!

What if they have fatigue syndrome

fuck this shit only watched cuz of class

bitch on the left is so fuckin toxic

Just be aware and avoid such people. People like this are also known as something else - 'assholes'

This is not difficult. Identify such people, from an internal mental note.... And then after you have done this never acknowledge them or say another word to them.

What if the energy vampire is your Mother ?

Avoid them like the plauge!........

Limit contact with toxic people!

There is someone in my life who i think is a really negative soul! Sometimes he comes around and when he leaves i find myself hating and despising him and im 90 per cent sure it is his problem since i rarely feel this way about anyone else. I dont like it because it makes me feel full of hatred but anyway i really try to avoid this guy as much as i can! Maybe i need to be kind to myself since i beat myself up for feeling that way. Energy vampire! damn. they are around and can sometimes find their way into your life.

I get it, i really do. But Everyone needs help in life and i also think that most people in the world nowadays don’t like to help others or care about them. In America, it’s all about “me”. a-ME-rica.

Get a real vampire and suck the life out of them.

"Not to become a victim to THESE people." I think everyone is eligible to be one of "THESE people." I find that sometimes life coaches and such are really good at telling people how to be something they really aren't in real life. They can wear a "coach mask" to cover up their own "THESE people" feelings. No one can be 100% positive all the time. That's not how life works.

You can want to help them, but you can make them want help.

"I feel that women are more the...victims..." good save by the male Anchorman

4:58. Just break right in while the guest is about to make a point. Stupid bitch. Couldn't stand another person getting more attention.

Try to make the "toxic" person aware of your feelings, yes indeed, but make sure you ask the "magic question". Ask them, "In what ways do you think you need to grow and change?" If they respond in any way that they don't believe they need to grow or change ... run, run away as fast as you can. More than likely you are dealing with someone who has NPD, Narcissistic Personality Disorder. These people are disordered in such a way that they are incapable of doing wrong. Even when you point out to them that they just broke a law, a very non-emotional and casual response that denotes non-caring is another red flag. I do what I want and I don't care are a few reactions you will get when confronting someone with NPD. They will lack empathy, seem very unemotional/flat in emotion, and when acting an emotion, it can come across as forced and unnatural. I don't see much of a difference between NPD and a sociopath. Presently I am living with a 63 year old female NPD. There is no reaching them and only one choice, get away as soon as possible and never look back. If you work with them and they're NPD, sooner or later they'll burn everyone out and they'll be shown the door. These people are incapable of being repentant and each day it is necessary for them to ask forgiveness ... for the same offenses, over and over and over. Sad really, not being capable of changing, of evolving :(

thanks for this lesson

I think these people having this conversation on television.. believe that they don't have those kinds of effects on others too.. I think this show segment is nothing but a pretentious.. scripted.. fake... attempt to make yourself seem significant and self righteous and demonize others with poor and traumatic backgrounds who also were absent appropriate role models to teach them better coping skills any idiot with balls and nerve can get on a show and talk in depth with great conviction and certainty.... about O-T-H-E-R. peoples ignorance and BAD "....behavior... ..

WOW.....AMAZING......!!!!!! THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR AMAZING STORY. VERY INSPIRING..

what they say is basically: Never talk to anybody about your problems. Never share anything with anybody if it is not cheerful. Never complain about anything no matter what it is. What's the world come to??? Who are those people??? They should never be allowed to have children. They are the most toxic people I have heard in my life.

So yuo guys think that I have to lay down as door matt to the dilemmas n disputes in the marriage of my blood sucking parent marriage.the singular form referring to my f more than anything. That's true. Snap of it..what? Gone the long Est way up.many times. Thanks.

Do not know who is the target here but I do not truly want to be one.emotional vamp.thanks

Look at the chicks face after he says affair.

you people complaining about people complaining makes me feel le' drained.

There is a saying tell me who your friends are and i will tell you who you are. Be careful in life by accumulating people around you out of pitty or because you want to be social and not discriminating. You better pick your friends out like you will pick good fruits out of bad ones. Apply that to your family aswel same blood does not mean authomaticly goodness of heart. And evil and jealously goes hand in hand.

Bullshit, it's not about caring about them! It's about caring about yourself. You deserve better friends.

Just tell them to piss off!

Sometimes you have to avoid these kind of people if you can. I have a family member who is like this, and I had to move away from this person. I tried to be the change, and sometimes you just have enough that you say enough is enough. I've given the advice to this family member over and over, and since she didn't want to listen, or wanted to constantly whine about her problems, I moved away, it wasn't the only reason I moved away. It's really harder when it's your family who is the emotional vampire. I tried being loving and supporting, and I've gotten to the point now where I just don't give a crap anymore. Family or not, I refused to be sucked in. I enjoy positive cheerful, people.

Master Coach , right,

I cant recall them ever addressing the HOW, just examples and stories and meaningless chater

Boy if I told my boss, whom unfortunately I have to deal with, opinions all the time, whether it is work related, or my personal life, or a customer, I sick of his whining, complaining, want out need a good job

Be the change you want to see in others. I like that its great advice!

Its annoying how casual they are about this-its pretty serious these people can really break people down

Got 1:36 in then stopped due to sexism.

if its a guy thay get knockt the fuck out if its a girl ignore

BTW: if a person has no "emotional " feelings towards anyone.. start off with " I do not want to hear your issues, illnesses or shit ... get outta my face" think exactly what YOU as humans are saying about others? avoid humans ... makes as much sense as you saying you have any degree . amazing.

Most are family members and suggesting anyone cut their tie's is foolish.

Sorry, I disagree. I've observed more often than not that the real issue is the so called 'good' people a.k.a victims gang-up, back-bite and do all sort of nasty things and make living hell for some people, make them feel unwelcome, for no reason other than getting pleasure out of it. and then call that other person a vampire. I can understand some people being like vampires, but they are not forcing you to listen to them. You can always tell them nicely or avoid them. People are so interested in being opinion makers now a days...they spend more time talking about people. I guess it has more to do with group dynamics. Remember, Great people talk ideas, Average people talk events and Negative people talk about other people ....most of the time. (Y)

I'm tired of living with a controlling woman I want too leave and find someone else.

so sad isn't it..once yur victim its harder than Hell

Yeah, let 'em know "look midge, love ya to death, but I gotta say...your constant whining and complaining is sucking the LIFE outta me" easier said than done...

I like how they talk about these "emotionally vampiric" people like they're objects.

How to deal with people by emotional robots...??? hmmm? might work.

I think they make a good point about letting somone know they are being emotionally draining. As a person that has had their fair share of things to feel upset about, not to mention being brought up a dysfunctional environment, you lose or never gain a healthy way to communicate with others. It was finally understanding how it makes others feel that made me much more conscientious, not to mention feeling better myself.

You can always cut emotional vampires off. Why befriend or entertain a snake when you know it's going to bite and that its venom is toxic? Would you expect anything else?
