I will be an energy vampire slayer!

Just this week, I went out with some people for a mini-gathering. I was looking forward to it, I was expecting to be happy and joyful when I get home. Instead, I was so depressed when I got home. It was like my energy was sucked out big time. I got home feeling so blue and doubting my future.

Energy vampires. You know who they are. The people who bring you down and who do nothing but make you feel bad about yourself and life in general.


Energy vampires may appear to be concerned with you, asking personal and intrusive questions then afterwards they tend to show how their life is far better than yours by pointing out minute details in your life that they feel is not okay. And they do it subtly and gently and you wouldn't even notice that your neck has been bitten.
They tend to criticize everything from hair, color of skin, your family,  life goals, not having a boyfriend, career, the list goes on..And the sad part is, vampire suckers are mostly our relatives and the so-called "close" friends. They feel that being blood-related, they have the right to zap your positive vibes. That is why some people cringe attending family reunions, there are always comparisons. Kulang na lang gayahin ung mga pick-up lines na "wala ka lolo ko" tuwing may mga reunions. Their ultimate goal is to feel better and making their victims worse.

After the energy sucking event I went to, I promised myself to do something with those energy suckers. I will delete them. That is, delete them in my mind by spending less time with them. Positive energy and Energy vampires are inversely proportional. The more time I spend with them, the less my positive vibes are. So there, from now on I will be channeling Buffy and be an energy vampire slayer.
