    here is my story : a friend of mine since high school was really sad due to parents divorce and an ex boyfriend died in a car accident..
    i understood her and listened to her almost every day for at least an hour, she cried and talked about it for 3 years and she took my happiness, power and joy..
    after 3 years of being her psychologic friend i talked about something really bad happening to me and she changed the topic to talk about her..
    i was in shock!
    then i never talked to her again
    and i felt free and happy!
    since then i never let anyone drain power and happiness from me..

      Hi gal, thanks for sharing your story. It's great that you were such a good energy giver to your friend! In our livestream we talk about the Communication Characteristics of Energy Vampires and Energy Givers th-cam.com/video/I-ywPChYj38/w-d-xo.html It's great that you were able to recognize that reciprocity in friendship is very important! Hope you enjoy the live conversation, we discuss the power of providing the energy in a conversation and the exchange of energy throughout a conversation as well.

    This is happening with me with one of my friend. Our friendship has always been like this me listening and her talking, I never thought that it would be a problem later on. But now it seems like this is the reason that the conversation with her is draining me. I love her very much and we have been friends for almost 5 years now. But every time we hangout it is always about her (which I recently realized). Whenever we hangout or just talking in general, the only thing being discussed in that conversation is her crushes and how she feel like her crush likes her and what is she gonna do when she is in a relationship, how a random guy who walks past us or even be near her in 10 meter radius is staring at her and so much more things like this. I am just tired of having the conversation about the same topics (boys). I don't know if I am over thinking but every time I finish hanging out with her I feel drained and do not have energy to do anything else. And this I realized recently that if I tried to change the conversation she would just say somethings like "oh, yea, true, yea, yea" and shift the conversation back to whatever she was saying which made me realized that I am not a friend to her, I am just someone she can talk to and do not wanna listen what I have to say or anything. I am now keeping my distance from her and setting some boundaries, because every time I tried to tell her that why our friendship is not working and what we can do to build our relationship. She reply with "you are the last friend I am having, I already had many bad friends, you are now last one, if you betray me as well, I can stay own my own" and starts crying which makes me feel bad for some reason. But one thing for sure is that I am tired
    I do not know why I am sharing this online but yea I am stressed bcs of this friendship. I genuinely don't know what to do atp.

      Hi @iamtallerthanyou7152,
      Firstly, thank you for sharing your feelings and experiences with us. It takes courage to open up about personal struggles, especially in a public space like this. 🌟
      Your situation with your friend sounds quite challenging. Friendships, like any relationship, should ideally be a two-way street where both parties feel heard and valued. It's understandable that consistently one-sided conversations can leave you feeling drained and unappreciated.
      It's commendable that you've recognized this pattern and are taking steps to set boundaries. This is often a necessary step in preserving not only the health of the relationship but also your own well-being. Remember, setting boundaries is not a betrayal; it's a way of ensuring that the relationship is mutually respectful and fulfilling.
      Regarding your friend's reaction when you try to address the issue, it's important to approach such conversations with empathy but also firmness. It's okay to express your needs in a friendship. If she truly values your relationship, she will be open to understanding your perspective.
      It's all about finding a balance that works for both of you, where you can support each other without feeling overwhelmed.
      Lastly, if you ever feel too stressed or unsure about how to proceed, seeking advice from a counselor or a trusted person can provide valuable insights and support.
      Take care of yourself, and remember, your feelings and needs are just as important as anyone else's ✨💪

      Your friend is being manipulative by crying and saying you’re her only good friend (i wonder why she doesn’t have many good friends 🤔). Put yourself first and don’t let people take advantage of you. I have been in your situation many times before; I empathise with you.

    • @shineb5675

      Im literally going through the same exact thing with a boy crazy friend! I distanced myself, by becoming busy going to the gym,hobbies, spending time with other friends etc… at first she started to sub me on IG ..saying things like “im all alone in this world” or “whoever wants to cut me off go ahead!” But eventually she got over it and accepted my boundaries.
      I am her only friend and I use to feel bad about hanging with other people , until I recently realized that its her own fault she has no friends. Set your boundaries, either she will self-reflect and come around or she will remove herself, which is highly unlikely because you sound like her only good friend.

    What does the energy vampire do with the energy they’ve stolen? Do they like low key “become you” like do they start using your mannerisms or speeches & opportunities?
    What do they gain from the temporary energy of another?
    Especially if the energy isn’t authentically theirs, it won’t last. So what do they gain from stealing some temporary energy?
    I’ve been searching for videos about that one question & can’t find it specifically. Thanks to whomever can explain!

      @LOUDIntuition 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@zerogravity213 that’s about all I’ve noticed as well. So weird! Idk why I thought they’d transmute it & turn it into their own but that’s defeats the whole purpose of stealing someone else’s energy in the first place. I guess they truly have no identity or soul of their own. Just meat packs.

      From what I heared these people target positive, nice type of people. They are jealous since they dont have that themselves. So they want to steal that joy from you. When they tear you down they become happy or settle within themselves somehow

      They corner u frm all othr near ones slowly slowly.
      They use ur positive energy for their benefit n in return give u negative energy. They always complain u about which u r not in real n one day u ll end up as that bad prsn.
      They use ur intelligence brain n many other secrets n implement in their life n becomes successful and u end up as pyscho unsuccessful prsn who will suicide one day or will go in depression or u ll have severe major accidents..
      My prsnl experience.. facing mental torture, cornered out frm everywhere, had severe four accidents..one yesterday only but still surviving..but surely i was player before n athlete too but im half fckd up already.

      A lot of times it’s of no use to them aka incompatible. But like drag addiction, they don’t see it. You will find when they can’t find someone to drain, they become sick themselves. You might see that if they can’t suck out positive emotions out of you and replace them with their negativity, or they are left alone for any amount of time they feel unwell. Teaching them chi gong, going to the park, is of no use, they don’t want to learn.

  • @gregoryforrest8970

    Some energy vampire may be suffering from bipolar disorder, or a number of disorders caused by growing up in a toxic family, or working with people with a high level of crab mentality workplace bullies driving you so crazy you become such a person, a loved one dies and this some one has lost it emotionally overloaded. Unfortunately there is a lot of reasons people get this way. Maybe they were once easy going happy people before these events came along in their lives, fir sure some people can really be annoying to be around, but i think better to give them some advice to seek professional help from a psychiatrist.

    You really have to limit it and do not share personal information no matter how you feel about helping those in need most of the time they will just use that as an opportunity to get you to use your energy for their benefit.

    Thank you thank you thank you
    And most of this really works with diplomatic people, but when one has to deal with a vile person because there is No Other Option, I just going to let them have it and let them know that I am not asking, I am (Telling You) and then stop the interaction. This is not for everyone, this could create more intense problems.
    But I find that keeping quiet and just protecting yourself will not stop the persistent attacks!!!
