An energy vampire is someone that takes your energy and uses it for themselves. They have no empathy for others and are insecure in who they are. They will prey on people and try to heal themselves and their inner emotions.
An energy vampire can be a co-worker, a friend, family member or even a partner you are with. If you find yourself to be an empath, there is a good chance you will attract an energy vampire.
Energy vampires are attached to people with strong emotions because they need these emotions to try to make themselves feel better.
You might feel angry at an energy vampire, but they haven’t learned how to deal with their problems, and they will prey on others only when they are in pain. You have to remember that you are not responsible for solving their emotional problems and they need to learn to solve their problems and figure out why they are struggling instead of draining others.
Sometimes, an energy vampire will make you feel drained and not able to take care of yourself. This is because they take your energy and leave you feeling upset or anxious. There has to be a line that is drawn to stop these types of people from preying on your life.
