How to Protect Yourself from Energy Vampires

[@JackSmith-w1t]

it’s kinda crazy how nobody’s talking about Antozent, they are selling 250 self help books for the price of one

[@berryfairy68]

It's sad when these people are family and you just want everyone to be nice and love each other.

Going Thru This Right Now With My Mom & Brother Pray For Me🙏

[@lsmith992]

Going back 25 years, my partner had the ability to "pin me down" energetically. I physically couldn't move. He was aiming for my solar plexus. If he wanted me to stay in the room then that was it. It wasn't until I started to learn about healing that it became clear what he was doing and how but he wasn't aware of what was happening. All that mattered was what he wanted. I believe all of this group are either possessed or overshadowed by negative energy beings (biblical demons) from the lower fourth dimension, and maybe the soul /spirit of the original inhabitant of that body has been displaced or taken a back seat? .

[@philippahall2510]

This is exactly how I feel. The strange thing is after listening to this I’m wondering if I’m the energy vampire. I listened to this video because I can’t understand why I’m depleted after spending time with “friends”. I also have displayed professional victim status, had a lot of drama, haven’t taken responsibility for my life and blamed them. But fundamentally I do believe I’m healthy, I’ve done a lot of work on myself. Now I’m so confused I thought it was them and at a crucial level I still believe I’ve almost taken on their behaviour. I believe their behaviour killed my Mum they took everything she had. I feel so much healthier when I’m no where near my family because seriously I seem to act out of character, not my true nature. Now I’m wondering because they are covert narcissists and my friend a lot of my friends energy vampires, could I be acting out their shadow due to psychic receptivity. Seriously I hope someone gets this because it’s weird. I don’t know what to own and what not to, that’s cognitive dissonance I guess.

[@valeriewalkerwhite9525]

I cut my brother off after some serious mental and emotional abuse...I've have done nothing but help him throughout life..he's a criminal, he's evil, he abuses his children, his wife and I want him completely out of my life and my psyche..

[@Blubirdmoon111]

CURE for Energy vampires is to get "away" from them. . All one needs for that is AFFORDABLE HOUSING to escape toxic living situations.(when they are your roommates)

[@TheMamilinda89]

“You haven’t been chosen, you’ve been targeted” hit deep.

[@jewels3678]

Energy vampires since childhood and it primed me for toxic adult relationships. I've done a lot of work to change my own choices and who I allow in my life. But the damage that has been done to my body is heartbreaking. So many autoimmune and somatic issues and doctors just don't know what to do to help me. The best thing I have done is removed those people from my life and my health has at least reached a manageable level.

[@taunoctua245]

If I am feeling tired or bad for no reason. I suspect energy vampires. I taught people who may be psychically victimized my method for dealing with it. 1.) Close your eyes 2.) imagine your arm is a sword 3.) imagine silver or different colored cords attaching to your solar plexes from off in the distance to seemingly nowhere. 4.) Take your arm and like a sword cut those cords sucking your energy. It works for me and all the people I've taught this.

[@reminemi1153]

Wow

[@d3ltaking419]

I like to use white sage from time to time, it helps cut the cords from negative people.

[@juliasmith0102]

It doesn't work for me

Well, it worked nicely up to some point for me :) Gotta try that in a difficult situation, thanks!

That’s amazing! What a great concept 🎉 Thank you

My family always drain my energy every time I talk to them, they just care about money , and society. I care more about feelings and emotions. I really don’t want to hurt them as they are my parents but I really don’t like to talk to them

I love how you combine psychology, health sciences, and esoteric knowledge about psychic/energy vampires!

[@mertkaya8790]

Almost all my exes and some of my relatives and friends are energy vampires. I stay away from them. I learned my lesson.

[@not-even-german4892]

Stay away.

[@floridalife215]

I find the best way of dealing with these people is to cut them out of my life. They do not change.

[@itsmechazona6847]

She’s speaking nothing but facts! Experienced this with many people.

[@MaoyunXiaohuoziniao]

There is a good Chinese medicine teacher taught his students there are three ways making people really sick. One of them is you spend time with people who drain your energy (his word is making you feel tired afterwards)Much much worse than worrying about what you eat. 😱 He will never spend anytime with anyone who makes him feel tired after hanging out. As he is very good at curing people, so I know you are really good as well. So few people know this. I’m happy to hear it from here. Thank you.

[@noklarok]

They try to drag you into their drama/trauma vortex.

[@cerisedahlia4698]

I got fibromyalgia and i have a psychopath mother. I always suspected i got this disease because of her, now you just confirmed it. Thank you. And my friends with psychopath/narcissist parents also have auto-immune disorders.

[@7wt]

Cerise Dahlia I am beginning to learn that my father is a vampire. My mother developed fibromyalgia before she passed away. She was always sick and I just took it as her seeking attention. I’m starting to think dear old dad played a larger role. He literally sucks the life out of me and I hate being with him. Heck, even his text messages drain me.

[@noklarok]

check out Dr Sarno or Pete Walker

[@lauratheexplorer6390]

I’ve got Fibromyalgia too. My mum is a (covert) narc. When did you first notice your symptoms? My chronic fatigue, IBS & pain started at around 12. The GP told me he thought it was “growing pains” but it never went away. Only got worse. I’m 31 now. I blame her for it too. So hard to love someone like this.

[@vkngwmn6636]

B12 deficiency. do you have anemia?

[@specialtwice4975]

Laura TheExplorer I read a blog/a KZbin channel on psychopaths. This woman (a doctor) was married to a psychopath. While she was with him she always felt ill, and she didn't know why. (She said if she would have stayed with him a few more years she probably would have gotten an illness/disability and she would have not have been able to continue working) When his mask fell off and she found out what he was she asked him "what are you?" And "why this was happening? Why do I feel sick?" (Thankfully her husband answered her questions instead of, well, you know...☠️⚰️) He said that the reason she felt ill was because of all the bad things he did to her. (Scaring her, etc) He obviously felt no remorse for this, but found a fascination in someone actually finding out and asking him about it. (I wouldn't recommend trying to confront other psychopaths, as this one only answered honestly because he seemed to be amused by her) The blog went into more detail but essentially said he was a predator and she was prey, EVERYONE was prey. So anyways, she eventually divorced her husband (I think he found another woman to marry) and she went into research the connection of psychopaths and causing illnesses. She said some people got these illnesses due to immense stress and anxiety in the body caused by the psychopath. I believe there is a connection between such illnesses and psychopaths/narcissists.

[@greenbeans575]

The sadest part of this is how mainstream medicine not only does not recognize the profound implications of emotional abuse from chronic toxic relationships (work too), but erroneously diagnoses patients as having some kind of mental disorder that must be treated with various (potentially dangerous) chemicals that that they call "pharmaceuticals". This woman is absolutely correct in her assessment of the implications of psychological abuse on one's health. Bravo, ma'am.

[@belovedchild9812]

Thank you. I have had a lifetime of relationships with these character disordered individuals. I cut every last one out of my life 18 months ago and I’m still struggling to get my self back.

[@mysticpizza02]

Everytime throughout my life when I've said yes to anything I have regretted it and it ended badly for me but until now I didn't know why this happened to me now I could now kick myself because people knew I was polite and a people pleaser and they weren't hence why I say NO without hesitation it weeds out well the weeds! thanks for your video

[@kelliwalsh7889]

I have a long term friend who is super self centered and absorbed. She talks & talks about herself and never even thinks of others. Then at times I have disagreed with her and she discharges me. I noticed you mentioned they are aware of it but I don’t think she is. She uses me as her personal therapist then feels better. Im left drained. I am putting up boundaries with this now. Just like I left my narcissist ex who would emotionally abuse me then blamed me for feeling poorly. I dug myself out of that mess with years of sickness. Thank you for the connection to the physical being. I’ve always loved your work. I’m so glad I found this.

[@jackquentin1950]

As a person who's highly disagreeable, I find it easier to identify these types of people than my highly agreeable friends. It's like they can't stop redirecting the conversation towards themselves and their problems. I think the greatest weapon against these kinds of people is blunt truth - they don't respond well to that.

[@elfin1277]

I feel so great running into this video. This is exactly what I've experience after I met this energy vampire! I was such a fool to willing give my love to him because of this misfortunate childhood. And this video explain comprehensively of what kind of person he is! Unbelievable to hear that they know what they are doing! Dear all, you need to trust your intuition. When I firstly met this person, my intuition sent me a HUGE dangerous flag!!!

This is so true. I have developed psoriasis from being involved in my relationship with a narcissist. It has been 7 years but it only recently got bad. It’s almost like there is a spiritual darkness around him. I love him so much and want him to change but I don’t think I can do it for him. He has to want to be different.

[@emilypound]

So helpful, thank you! I have been prone to energy vampires all my life and I don't know why but I constantly find myself shocked to discover they are one when I've fallen for their fakery over and over again. You would think I'd be able to spot them instantly after so many experiences but I constantly find myself on the receiving end of their narcissism. By the way, the color of your blouse is amazing! :)

[@cathlaurs9754]

Emily Pound: me too Emily. I think, "Shit, I've fallen for it AGAIN". It still happens to me although far less often. I like to think that all people are as honest as I am - that what they say and do has no agenda. But, alas, it's simply not true. I've learned, by bitter experience, that some people use me in order to gain something - be it attention, money, status, my friendship group, access to something I own or whatever and offer precious little in return. These days I have honed my radar and trust my gut. I watch and notice how new people behave and what they say. It's a sad way to be but it protects me from their trap. I have always readily felt or taken blame. Now I check with myself; I stop and ask myself what part the other person played or what THEY could have done differently in any situation where guilt, blame and responsibility crops up - it helps me to see more clearly and not automatically shoulder all the negatives. I also no longer give myself freely - people have to earn my trust and I slow new relationships down - I don't allow someone much access to my life, my time, my love until I feel ready, feel trust and mutual appreciation. I had to let go of a lot of people when I finally learned to do all of the above. PS I had a super manipulative, victim, narcissist mother - I suppose I'm resisting and questioning the role she gave me, finding a new path. Go well Emily.

[@somai_1]

How do you deal with an elderly parent with medical issues who lives with you, who is an energy vampire. She gets angry when I don't spend every second with her, who gets annoyed when I don't feel well and need to rest (I'm no spring chicken) or i speak with anyone else e.g. siblings and the only friend I have left, and gets upset that I cant fix her medical issues, and storms in my room constantly regardless of the time only to complain and guilt me. And often reminds me of EVERYTHING I do wrong. And gets upset if I don't drop everything I'm doing to do something for her or to watch church on tv. Everyone else thinks she's so wonderful. I feel so worn out with life.

[@gracefulxit5650]

When you get away, don’t forget what you seek, seeks you. That means no peeping on their social media or if you think about them for any reason tell your mind to stop every time. I say this because they can still syphon your light energy by projecting an energetic cord, and if you aren’t careful you can be unaware of projecting an energetic cord for them to latch onto. They don’t have to still be in your physical life to continue draining you. Energy is all around us including thoughts that turn into thought forms ( entities ) and I’m not referring to the light ones.

[@parveenkaur1502]

[@vidark.6301]

Now a challenge is that this type of behavior is on the rise, especially in the corporate world psychopathic traits are valued. Same with (shallow forms of) dating: good guys are taught how to be more psychopathic, because some women seem to really like that. And politics: people seem to think that leaders who don’t listen to others are strong and therefore fit to lead a country.

Hey, watchit. You’re talking about my mom. And my boss. And my wife? When i first got here, well i almost didn’t make it. i was going to be aborted. But my grandma took me and i was happy and loved. When i was six or five my biological decided she wanted me ( to help with my four- or three-year-old brother ( whom i had never met )) After a long court battle my grandma puts me down into a strange crib in a strange room in a strange house being run by a strange lady and i’m surrounded with darkness as the door is pulled closed until just a crack of light remained. As if i was going to fall asleep. After a long while i heard my grandma’s keys and i absolutely freaked out. i was screaming and jumping to get out of that cage until my grandma opened the door and came and picked me up. She held me tight and said she was sorry. i said - and i remember these words - i said whatever i did i can stop it. Please don’t leave me here! She was crying too and held me tight. She believes me! Then she put me down and walked away. i was destroyed. Everything was changed. i became changed.

[@vikkisunflower8899]

one iota I’m really sorry that happened to you. I hope you know now it wasn’t anything you did wrong. The court system made a bad decision.

[@elizabethgunning6745]

One iota I found this heartbreaking and it brought back old memories to me too! I can totally relate to how you and your Grandmother felt! Wishing you all my best!

[@oneiota878]

Elizabeth Gunning Hello Ms. Gunning and Ms. Sunflower. Thank you for your reply. i wrote it again a little more eloquently and updated as follows: When i was six years old my mom came to pick me up. I had no idea who she was since i had never seen her before. I was supposed to be aborted, but my grandmother stepped up and wouldn’t allow it. My birthday is nine months from my mom’s 21st birthday, so we can probably figure out what happened. My dad was going off to fight in the Vietnam war; was probably in uniform and my mom was on her way to being plastered. She didn’t want me and if then was now i wouldn’t be here. Back then you needed a parent’s approval to have an abortion. My grandma took me away when i was born. She saved my life. My mom had another son a couple years after. He was the golden child. My mom decided she wanted me back to help raise him, but my grandma said NO. There was a four-year court battle that tore the family apart. My grandma wasn’t going to give me up. I was her son now, but the court decided that it would be better if i were raised by the woman who gave birth to me, not the woman who had been raising me. We went for a ride; Arrived at a strange house. There was a crib in a dark room and they left the door open a crack. I just sat there quietly for a long time, but when i heard my grandma pick up her car keys and go to the front door i freaked out. I was completely helpless. I screamed and cried and my grandma came in and grabbed me up. She was crying too. I told her i was sorry for whatever i did and please don’t leave me. I promised to never do it again. She gave me a big hug and i thought she had forgiven me. Then she put me back into the crib and walked away. I was crushed. I pleaded with every fiber of my being and she left. Every bit of pleasure that i had ever felt was gone. I was nothing. Last year i had heard that my grandmother was dying. I rented a car and drove the eight hours to get to her house. Nobody expected that i would show up. My grandma was on liquid morphine and was just laying there waiting. I went to her side and grabbed her hand and thanked her for saving my life all those years ago. I told her i wished i could do the same for her now. She started breathing faster. She knew i was there. Her hand gripped mine a little tighter and then let go and she was gone. again. I love my grandma and i thank her for all that she has done for me. Thank you Grandma. Happy Mother’s Day.

[@elizabethgunning6745]

One iota Glad you took that long journey to see your grandmother before she sadly passed away! From what you say she was a most wonderful and loving lady! You can celebrate her life now by living your life and being a loving, caring and happy man! All my best to you!

He is 83, and he got only me, so i can't leave him. I mean, he got wife- my mother, but she is old too, and she is way too tyred from his scenes as well. She can't make it without me. And his other kids do not comunicate with him. But i'm 35, and my personal life is pure mysery. I got no kids, no family, no wife.. he doesn't seem to care. All he cares about, is himself. And still.. how should i save my life, without leaving the old man ? I really don't want to complain about anything in here, i only want an advice.

Not sure how it works in that situation, but i think that when he is ok, he doesn't take your energy). Most important thing is, to not to let him get into your head with his bullshit. I think if you stay and take care (in general), is a better way to outsmart him, than if you leave for good. Bcz if you leave, he won. And he can take your energy even while he is thinking at you, or while you are thinking how you left him. But if you don't play their games, that's when they go the most crazy. Plus, it's a good deed to take care about the ones you love, and to enjoy them, till you still have them. Bcz a vampire or not, once they're gone, we're gonna miss them. And no matter how bad they are, there is even a good side in them. I didn't solve my personal life yet, but i believe, that it will come together. Life will always find a way, and deal with everything. And if not, and if this is my sacrifice, well i sacrificed myself for an old father who needs me. For who should i do it if not for the closest ones ? Not sure if my strategy is right, so don't depend on my words too much. Maybe i'm wrong. It is your life. You need to decide for yourself what to do with your life. I only know, that if i would leave my father, it would hunt me till the rest of my life. Search for some more advices, and if you find something good, let me know. If you won't forget about me, that is. Wish you good luck with your task, and with everything !

One more question.......how do the “energy vampires/narcissistics” learn to behave the same? Why? Is it a common upbringing? It seems odd that there’s so many of them ALL behaving in the same manor ! Many thanks to you

Good question what's the Solution instead long term for future families? What a dreadful sad consequence of loveless upbringing? Do people really need parenting education of some kind? Is it so extensive in other cultures elsewhere. If not why not ? How do their family dynamics roll? In travelling members related and non related more or less had one anothers backs not just immediate family members. A loving aunt nana cousin would pick up the child care together with other children older siblings of mixed ages and play, learn talents games with and from one another and I guess have wider experience of meeting healthier dynamics hopefully if there were a loveless situation.

I live with a energy vampire roommate and what he did to his girlfriend affected me and my daughter, he literally changed the bbn atmosphere in our house and it wasn't in a good way. I hope I never run into one again.

I fought IBS for several years before I figured out that it was due to my marriage. She cheated over and over again with her ex, cried and threatened to harm herself when I found out and talked about divorce. I paid all the bills did 90 percent of the cleaning and cooking etc… I eventually built up the nerves to divorce so I’m now on the road to recovery.

I wish this was taught in school. Humanity should be made aware from a young, but appropriate, age in order to keep themselves safe. Teaching about toxic people and relationships should be part of our culture. Psychopaths are truly destructive and scary, and unfortunately, they are not terribly uncommon. I hope it becomes common knowledge in our society in the years to come. I had a relationship with a psychopath and it was very mind-bending. Thankfully I escaped after three years, but not un-harmed.
