If you think there is an energy vampire in your environment, the signs described in this article will help confirm or refute your fears.
Many people know that there are people endowed with the ability to draw strength and energy from others. To avoid becoming another victim, you should learn the signs by which you can distinguish a person with such a gift.
If you think that a colleague, friend or relative may be an energy vampire, pay attention to his characteristics. Based on a person’s appearance, one can conclude whether he is endowed with such a gift or not. This is not a completely reliable test, but if a suspect matches this description, it should raise red flags.
Take a closer look at an individual who seems suspicious. First of all, he will have wrinkles on the eyebrow and nasolabial folds.
The vampire is constantly dissatisfied with what is happening and negative emotions are imprinted on his face. If you see an older person with wrinkles, this is unlikely to arouse suspicion. However, if wrinkles appear on a young man’s face, it’s worth thinking about.
Pay attention to lips . In people prone to vampirism, the corners of their lips are tilted down. This may indicate a possible negative gift and a squeamish character.
A person who feeds on other people's powers has a heavy look . It’s not easy to communicate with such an acquaintance; he literally glares at you and sees right through you.
The iris of vampires' eyes is usually dull in color, but can change and become brighter as soon as the personality is saturated with the energy of people.
Pay attention to the facial expression of a person suspected of energy vampirism. It should be imprinted with boredom and sadness.
Concern and dissatisfaction may be due to the fact that a person does not understand what exactly is happening to him. If an individual knows that he has a gift, he will try in every possible way to disguise his abilities and not give himself away by appearance.
Who are energy vampires: features and types
If an energy vampire is a person who experiences cheerfulness, enthusiasm and good mood, then his “donor” equally feels physical and emotional weakness, apathy, a complete lack of interest in life, lethargy and devastation, as well as other negative experiences, such How:
- fear, inexplicable melancholy, anxiety;
- a feeling of causeless fatigue, indifference to the world around you;
- depression by what is happening in life, physical discomfort - from headaches to insomnia;
- the emergence of self-doubt, tightness, and personal complexes.
Interesting fact! Psycho-vampires do not use all people as victims. They intuitively perceive a person’s internal weakness, therefore they often give preference to people who are pliable, receptive, with a vulnerable psyche, a high degree of emotionality and excitability of the nervous system. These may be individuals with low self-esteem, chronic feelings of guilt and anxiety, who are always envious and offend others. Thus, by acting, parasitic energy consumers inflate a person’s weaknesses and force him to experience an emotional outburst. Therefore, we can say with confidence: the reason why a person became a victim lies, first of all, in his own consciousness, and not in the bad person next to him.
Types of Energy Vampires
There are many classifications of psycho-vampires. Based on personal qualities, there are the following types of energy vampires:
- Sunny . Such people always strive to be the center of attention; their temperament type is often choleric. Taking into account the fact that scandals always occur in society, this kind of activity is commonplace for them. Energy vampires of this type deliberately exacerbate conflicts, and the identity of the donor does not matter to them - they can be both acquaintances and strangers.
- Lunar . These are not obvious energy absorbers: they are more often self-absorbed and have a hidden nature. Constant flows of energy from them are a constant value. They love unpleasant topics of conversation and are focused on troubles, both their own and those of others. They love to complain about the world and circumstances, and make pessimistic forecasts.
There are also healthy, seemingly adequate people who like to “steal” other people’s energy. You often encounter an energy vampire boss at work or a close relative in the family from the category:
- eternal whiners who are unhappy with everything and constantly complain;
- sadists - making offensive, caustic remarks under the guise of “funny humor”;
- hidden manipulators who love to spoil the mood and lead to despondency;
- gossips and brawlers - provocateurs of quarrels based on gossip, quarrels, envy and malice;
- critics - they enjoy claims and dissatisfaction with others;
- narcissists - engage in narcissism, are prone to shocking behavior, and feed on attention to their person.
Signs of an Energy Vampire
If there may be an energy vampire nearby, how to recognize it in order to avoid negativity? There are specific distinguishing features by which a “potential enemy” is identified. This:
- Talking about nothing is a classic sign. Energy vampires welcome long and boring conversations that are not burdened with deep meaning. As a rule, this flow of information is extremely difficult to stop. Quite often, such people talk about their problems, pouring out a barrage of details on others, but without saying anything specific. From such a flow of information it is difficult to extract any significant points or insert even a word of your opinion.
- The indignation that a person feels after communicating with parasitic persons is another striking sign. After contact with energy vampires, people often feel resentful and empty. Quite often this is accompanied by sincere regret about wasted time.
- The desire to put others in a dependent position . Energy vampires love to simulate and create situations where other people are in a dependent position on them. They like to intrigue a person, keep him in the dark, and then disappoint him.
- Focusing on the negative as a trait of an energy vampire. Such persons take pleasure in listing unpleasant details of tragedies, terrible details of bad incidents, etc. With the help of such interaction tools, it is convenient for them to feed on the fears, phobias, and outright panic of strangers. It is logical that after such discussions a bad mood and inner emptiness are guaranteed.
How to recognize?
You can identify a person who is an energy vampire by studying his type of thinking.
Most often, a vampire believes that:
- he is unable to receive the amount of love he needs;
- the world consists exclusively of despair, struggle, etc.;
- You can’t trust anyone, not even yourself;
- you need to avoid loneliness by all means (in this state, vampires feel defective);
- everyone around is obliged to take care of his happiness.
You are your own vampire: what to do if you have problems with your own “I”?
Incredible, but true: it happens that the main reason for a person’s internal exhaustion is himself. How do you understand that you are an energy vampire for yourself? The primary source is excessive attention to one’s own person (by creating a bright appearance, clothing, behavior). Therefore, it is better not to stand out from the crowd, not to focus on yourself in the crowd.
There is a stereotype that energy parasites live better than ordinary people, but this is a dangerous misconception. First of all, because along with other people’s energy, a person also consumes information about the diseases of his donors. In addition, if the practice continues, in the near future the body will forget how to take energy from the right sources - from nature.
But the main thing to do is not to be afraid to give your energy to good people. The more often you empty your “reservoirs” for them, the more fresh and healing energy you will receive in return. For those who love life and people, energy vampirism does not exist!

How does energy exchange occur?
In order to win the battle for energy, the “vampire” must unbalance his victim. Quarrels, squabbles, hatred, envy, resentment, and irritation are perfect for this. The victim, suffering from such oppression, from attacks and aggression from the vampire, is unable to fight, and resignedly gives up his spiritual strength and energy, weakening himself even more and strengthening the strength of the vampire.
It is important to remember that only a strong spirit can achieve harmony with world energy, and therefore it is necessary to try to prevent energy vampires and not allow them to make themselves weaker. But to do this, you need to learn to recognize energy vampires.
Protection from energy vampires: methods and approaches
As already mentioned, the psycho-vampire “plays” on provocation. In order not to fall for the trick, it is advisable not to show your vulnerable points and avoid situations that could become an ideal field of activity for an energy vampire:
- discussion of acquaintances and strangers, mainly in a negative way, retelling gossip and rumors;
- a direct conflict situation with all the ensuing consequences - mutual claims, quarrels, provocations for further aggravation of the situation;
- listening to an endless stream of complaints, numerous stories of troubles, grief, suffering;
- critical remarks, offensive “jigs” with the clear intention of insulting a person or internally wounding.
There are several traditional methods of reliable protection:
Ending a conversation
This is a classic model for creating a protective barrier. If possible, then you should not continue the conversation with a potential candidate for “energy consumption”. You can refer to the workload at work and at home, to the lack of time to talk. But consent is also a way out. In any case, the energy vampire will try to lead his victim to conflicting emotions. But as soon as you smile slightly and begin to agree with everything that the energy vampire says (even if in fact it is not so), he will immediately lose interest in his occupation.
Self control
Self-control is an important part of success in protecting yourself from an energy vampire. You need to try to remain calm: appear impartial for as long as possible during the conversation. Under no circumstances should you enter into an argument. This throws you out of balance, which is exactly what an energy vampire needs. The barrier will help maintain internal control and self-control. You can even visualize that there is a special protective barrier opposite, and visualize it at your own subconscious discretion. It can be a wall made of thick brick or transparent and thin, but durable glass. An imaginary structure, regardless of its thickness, protects against the influence of a vampire.
Eye contact
This is one of the typical techniques of an energy vampire. You should strive to avoid direct visual interaction with the energy vampire. If you try to catch your gaze in every possible way, then you need to take it to the side or direct it to a point behind the interlocutor. The “mirror” effect and closed posture are a way to avoid eye contact. When communicating with an energy vampire, you need to take the same pose, speak in the same manner, you can repeat his pose. But changing the copied pose to a closed, protective one will have a greater effect.
