Strategy for energy vampires.
"1. Know when you see one. The negative nature of energy vampires is not really apparent when you first meet them.
At first, their quirkiness may intrigue you, their goships and stories may leave you wanting to hear more, their dramatic flair
may entertain you or their hard-luck stories may suck you in.
Soon however, you begin to realize something is wrong. Don't
ignore those feelings. Tune in to them. Pay close attention to your instincts and your physical reactions after your encounters. If you find yourself experiencing muscle tention, loss of energy, you likely have an energy vampire in your midst.
"2. Limit your contact. Once you identified them, limit the amount of time you spend with them. If you cannot avoid them completely, such as in the case of family members or coworkers,
set time limit. For consuming a lot of your time for their tales or woe or displays of theatrics, you start off coversations like, "I only have 10 minutes to [fill in the blank]. Once the time is up, politely disengage.
"3. Don't get pulled in. No matter how much you may like to think or hope you will be able to fix their problems, you won't.
Chronically negative people will either resist your interventions or create new crises in their lives for you to fix. The truth is that in cases of personality disordered people
, even the best therapists in the world have difficulty in
effectuating change. In short, their problems are beyond your
"fix". Your best strategy is to protect yourself by setting and
firm limits.
"In the time we live in today, energy, specially the positive
kind, is a precious commodity. It's not something you should
willingly give up to the negative power of those who want to steal your energy, instead keep positive attitude and surround yourself with positive people." - Sherrie Carter.
We, Koreans get bad rap if we practice the 3 effective strategies above; we would be blamed heartless, selfish,... That's in our culture. So, be extra-polite in #2 above. Otherwise, retaliatios
are bound to follow and you'll be victimized.
Intimacy is indeed the top of mountain, toughest to climb, but
the real reward is in the process of climbing itself, if your
climbing partener is worthwhile. Good luck, everybody!
