		<description>I feel for you.&lt;br /&gt;
I have 3 sisters who are energy vampires.&lt;br /&gt;
They have turned into bad examples for me and my 2 children and my pet cat Spot.&lt;br /&gt;
I was forced to put distance between my family and them.You are hereby invited to be a friend of mine.&lt;br /&gt;
This sounds like you need someone who truely understands.</description>

		<description>I have energy vampires in my environment too...&lt;br /&gt;
One of them is my own sister.&lt;br /&gt;
Last time she was there for 2 hours, and when she left I felt exchausted and confused and from that day I feel bad and unmotivated. I avoided from that day, but I want to know how to get my energy back.&lt;br /&gt;
Please answer me, because I am in a health risk every day that passes by, I feel like something is missing from my energy field and I want it back.&lt;br /&gt;
Your article is helpfull (since I am a introvert) but I sense I deserve to take my drained energy back as soon as possible because I will go psysically or mentally sick. I want to know how to take back the energy that is mine and how to grow a shield to protect my energy from being drained by other people. I really need an answer, since I like to live a healthy energy life, free of health problems and full of positive, creative, fantasy like energy... ^_^ Thank you in advance ^_^</description>

		<description>Great article. I feel energy sapped constantly and now realise it is mainly due to people (an aunt in particular) who take up hours of my time wanting to engage in social chit chat frequently. I can&#039;t be everybody&#039;s best friend as I only have limited amount of time and energy and have my own life to lead. I loved the fact that the article also deals with those other insiduous energy sappers like unfinished business (I am guilty of this)....it helps put things into perspective to develop a plan to attack these energy stealers.</description>

		<description>Thank you for the clarification.  I was around a male energy vampire who was cruel and verbally abusive but oh so charming when he wanted something.  Be on the lookout for verbally abusive people as they are usually energy vampires and use intimidation to try and control us and keep us around.  Like it works, haha&lt;br /&gt;

		<description>Wow. This is exactly right. I&#039;m an introvert, and is good to know that this things happen, and why. You have given me a life lesson. From now on I will check on those people that do that and I will do my best in following your advice. Thank you again.</description>

I have learned that you should ignore energy vampires as much as possible. I have a friend who thinks they know everything! especially when it comes to writing or playing music. This particular friend doesn&#039;t know that first guitar chord, or that first drum beat! So whenever I&#039;m around this friend I ignore everything they say.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
                  This is a very good article&lt;br /&gt;

		<description>There is a very good video by Judith Orloff M.D. on YouTube about energy vampires.  Perhaps you will find it as interesting as I did.&lt;br /&gt;

		<description>Great article!  I think such people have specific, common psychological traits that can help you ID them, but the trouble lays in the fact that we often know something intellectually that we do not want to face emotionally.  For example, I recently had a female friend who I knew (intellectually) was sucking me dry, taking advantage of me, lying to me, and just generally wearing me out; emotionally, I could not bring myself to admit this and end the relationship until very recently.  Even now, I miss her, knowing full-well that she is a toxic person.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Great post and thanks!</description>
