Question About Emotional Vampires

.
Question: I feel like there is a person in my life who is working against me. When I am around this person, my thoughts are the worst and I can't elevate my feelings no matter what I think. I have heard there are such things as "emotional vampires," people who emotionally deplete you and suck you dry. Am I crazy or what?

Answer: No you are not crazy....and yes there are "emotional vampires." If you don't watch out for these people, they will literally rip, claw and tear at the fabric of your soul until you wish you were dead. These people get their power from fear and they instill fear in other people as a way to control them, have power over them and suck them emotionally dry.

If you want to test this for yourself, spend some quality time away from the person who is sucking you dry and notice the difference in your "feeling level" and the thoughts you think while you are away. There will be a huge difference...

Emotional vampires are control freaks, closed minded, passive, aggressive, play the victim and always make you feel that whatever is wrong with their life, it is your fault. The more guilty they can make you feel, the better they like it. It allows them to feel better, about themselves, at the expense of making you feel worse.

They take advantage of sensitive, kind hearted souls and do their best to know their inner most secrets. If they can't find out what their secrets are, they will, "in confidence" share their secrets with them as a way to make these sensitive souls feel loyal to them.

They will do whatever it takes to get an emotional hook into you....and once they do that, unless you walk away from them completely, it is a heck of a struggle to stay positive in their presence, even if you are in the same building with them but in different rooms. That is how powerful, in a negative way, emotional vampires are...

I suggest that you do not tolerate "emotional vampires" in your life because if you do, you will be spiritually abusing yourself. When you spiritually abuse yourself, you experience the consequences of this form of abuse; mentally, emotionally and physically and it can be devastating to you.
