[@leahracquelGibson]

“They don’t want to take responsibility and want to blame someone else.” Spot on

[@fxxnxx2775]

I had a so called friend like this

[@clovrr291]

"No one can die your death so don't let them live your life". Wow

[@neetasarawade6681]

I think you should think less it helps me getting to much draining also get more sleep .

[@ogtalkchannel]

That is the most important thing I have heard probably in the last 5 years, and I am not exaggerating. It's simple yet powerful in so many ways

[@laurenhoward5383]

I am healed. I allow, accept, and demand that all negative energies, entities, and vibrations leave me now and forever. I also demand to only allow light and love near me and inside of me starting now and everyday for the rest of my life allowing my vibrations to continue rising daily. I am a loving successful miracle magnet. I am made up of only love, light, gratitude, peace, and joy. Please pray for me as I will for you all. Thank you!

[@Lily59265]

Nice mantra

[@joshuaanzalone2060]

I'm fully healed now and no longer feel any guilt for cutting narcs out of my life,including family. I now have peace and energy vampires aren't even welcome into my space. I have to deal with them daily but I Grey rock them and keep talking to a minimal.

[@priscillaaboytes4027]

Can't express enough how much I loved the example of showing kids that at home there should be peace and relief because outside of your home is a different story!

I think most draining people don't realise what they are doing. I love the focus on being a calm centre of kindness - great talk

[@technologic1508]

Personaly i find all people are draining there is no person on this planet who is not. I can say that animals are not but humans are animals to but humans are the ones with all the problems and i do mean everbody.

[@technologic1508]

except Jesus

[@robynannan7015]

Vicki Lynn - Some dont know but others definitely do. The ones who are down when you start to talk to them and are cheery while you feel drained after the encounter definitely do. The ones I have encountered like that will look you in the eyes afterward and give you a look of this feels great! Thanks!

[@akaridessaint4878]

Wish I could like this a million times. The island of stability- this will be my home for my children. ❤

[@keith.anthony.infinity.h]

I want everyone to understand that we all have a bit of energy vampire tendency. If you are resistant to this please know that you are involving yourself in a victim mentality. Learn to accept yourself more wholly and become more self-aware, then you will be one step closer to healing.

[@David98004]

W comment! Not everyone sees themselves as a potential energy vampire they just assume it's somebody else besides them which is absurd because we've all been guilty of it whether we like it or not! Best advice to anyone is be honest and righteous when judging yourself and others!

[@JediBunny]

_”No one can die your death, so don’t let them live your life”_ .... Wow.

[@pimpsk8er3702]

ive been around energy vampires for so long that i think my brain is programmed to feel like my light is taken

[@msam37]

I feel that is anger from the battle we fight from that feeling of every where u turn they are present so you want to blend in ! Your conscience is aware so your light is dim not taken !! I think we allow it and I am at a point of being fed up and literally had to put it out there ••• you have no permission to receive my energy and even if you have love for these people you have to love your light more !!! You have to be excited of when the light brighten back up once you put It out there !! These people have no idea that this rule is affirmative but since I am they feel it and they will try harder !! so I am in a battlefield rn with family vampires

[@msam37]

I may have to relocate to protect myself because controlling energy vampires 🧛‍♀️ will even use your core to act like they want to change when they get called out and when nothing changes and they continue to take without permission they are messing with there own karma

[@cozmo2129]

Yup

[@2rodcampedison648]

Spot on they don't want to take responsibility and make you take the direction and blaming you after

[@JennifulCreations]

Agreed to all of these types of Vampires! Just broke off with one, it took 3 years too long.

[@dhritikapoor2897]

All my life I have been immune to energy vampires . Just dodged their company . I have been called insensitive and cold by them but then you need to protect yourself from getting drained 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@AudreySeybold]

I would love to be called that at this point. I just get constantly asked for help but now I have a freaking back injury and knee surgery and i am trying to bring my energy back to my body lol

[@Ed-rk1kh]

Professor Ornelas is my psy professor and he's such a cool guy! Brilliant and down to earth at the same time

[@alejandramarquez3962]

Great TED Talk! I think I've come to realize who the energy vampires are in my life...

[@LuckyBastardCandleCo]

This needs more views! Thank you man

[@grumpyschnauzer]

Thank you so much for pointing out the positivity. Working in the therapy field I hear the label “Narcissist” to every person that walks through the door. It’s disheartening that our society is so intent on labeling and speaking of the negative constantly. Thank you for being a positive voice for people looking to for some fresh air.

[@jamberry8026]

Truth is not all positive, a bowl full of cherries, and peaches and cream so you ca get up off your high horse now.

[@grumpyschnauzer]

@@jamberry8026 The people saying “get off your high horse” are often the ones saying so from sitting atop one themselves. To clarify, since you assume what I mean, I’m saying we can describe actions on a spectrum rather than point and ascribe a label. History tells us ascribing labels cause more harm than good. Labels are not truth… it’s a neat little package shoved down peoples throats to help them digest the group think bs they want you to believe in. So assume away… energy vampire.

[@jamberry8026]

@@grumpyschnauzer Lol! I see the truth hurts you while you have nothing in your history that is positive. Your history is so negative that you hide from it and don't want your children to hear or see it. Dream away, gonzo! Your fifteen minutes of positive dreaming is over lmao!🤣

[@grumpyschnauzer]

@@jamberry8026 Try saying that to yourself. It’ll ring truth in your ear. Truth, whether negative or positive, does not hurt me. It humbles me.

[@jamberry8026]

@@grumpyschnauzer A daily affirmation of sorts? Lol! I'm not the one hiding from my own history or lying about it. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Sometime Betrayal when you are young. Around every 10 years we evolve, grow, change, but most importantly we gain insight, perspective, knowledge & combined with Life experience, you will gain Wisdom. It takes nothing to be Kind.

[@alexiasomoza2603]

I’ve personally known a energy vampire, they really don’t like to take accountability and blame others when it comes to them

[@carlosangulo11]

Great video! Thank you 😊 🙏🏻 unconditional love to all ❤️ ♾️ 🌌

[@Reus921]

Although I understand the concept, and agree with it, there also needs to be an understanding of realism and honesty. Personally, I would consider myself, at least in the eyes of others, as a negative person. Not because I'm inherently negative, or my beliefs are inherently negative, but because I tend to be brutally honest. If I say, "blah blah blah, I'm not so sure about that", it's not me being negative, it's me making sure you're aware of the possible consequences, both good and bad, and are certain of you're decision. Like it was said in the video, people control you're emotions. I know I've done it. It's not hard. But another problem is over-optimism. Being overly happy is not a good thing either. Those emotions are just as easy, if not easier to control, in my experience. Simply put, whether you're happy or sad, mad or regretful, those emotions can be used against you. Those emotions do blind you... as sad as it might be...

[@finallyfinally9317]

I agree

[@hivibe2526]

Rt being stoic is the best, it angers the energy vampires that you are so balanced and unshakable and you can feed off of their anger anyway

The "yes but" vampires are the most annoying and toxic people because there's no getting through to them.

Covert narcissist

[@NancyLopez-ny1ok]

Involuntary servitude or involuntary slavery is a legal and constitutional term for a person laboring against that person's will to benefit another, under some form of coercion, to which it may constitute slavery. While laboring to benefit another occurs also in the condition of slavery, involuntary servitude does not necessarily connote the complete lack of freedom experienced in chattel slavery; involuntary servitude may also refer to other forms of unfree labor. Involuntary servitude is not dependent upon compensation or its amount. human trafficking me 14 years and counting.

So, how do u deal with an energy vampire that lives w you? My disabled mother drains the life out of me. Physically & mentally.

[@technologic1508]

Maybe use some garlic that might help. No but seriously perhaps take a vacation so you can think things through and find a solution.

[@robynannan7015]

@@technologic1508 Guided meditation (on line) There are also some really good books on the subject, they all have a nugget to share so I have read quite a few and Im getting a pretty good concept of who they are and how I can deal with them. Also see if a family member or two can share the responsibility with you so you can take a break.

[@Kepss1222]

I have to deal with a family member who is that way too. It took me years but what I learned to do is shut off part of my brain when they're acting or talking negatively. Respond with a few nods and "okay I see"when they're talking. If they get upset because they can pick up that a big part of you is ignoring them, just say that you're tired or deny it. Tire them out by not reacting to what they say. They feed off of our reactions. But since you are not made of stone, their negativity is still hurting you in a way. So when you're alone, write about how they make you feel and cry. Writing and crying are so helpful. Then accept that they're not going to change because they are not happy. And unhappy people hurt others. So it's not your problem, it's theirs. And smile! Life is too short to pay attention to people who are unhappy!

Im so embarrassed to say ..its like dont say it.but there.. its true..im an escape artist now 😂 i barely engage.i finally have one good friend..we build eeach other up we share our dreams.. ahhhh i have never been so listened to...the difference! I also noticed that people that would be drawn to me are people that are drainers because I have been groomed to listen but I'm naturally, at heart, like someone that wants to be a counseling type of person. I work now in a foeld similar! But now I don't let negative people close. They are okay to help, if I'm being paid LOL... And literally had to remove different people from my life because they're just draining .. God forgive me for sayin my moms so negative..ugh a child should never need to say this. Im not this to my own kids. No no no
