SILENT DRAINERS, BATTLING with modern day VAMPIRES

The concept of "silent drainers" or "energy vampires" refers to people or situations that drain your emotional, mental, or even physical energy. These "vampires" can leave you feeling exhausted, stressed, or overwhelmed after interacting with them1. The term is metaphorical, describing individuals who, whether intentionally or not, leave you feeling depleted.

Here are some common traits of modern-day "energy vampires":

• Constant Complainers: They often focus on negative aspects of life and can bring down the mood of those around them.

• Attention Seekers: They may constantly seek validation and attention, which can be emotionally draining.

• Drama Makers: They thrive on creating or being involved in drama and conflicts.

• Emotional Manipulators: They may use guilt, fear, or other emotions to control or influence others.

To protect yourself from these "silent drainers," consider the following strategies:

• Set Boundaries: Clearly define what behavior you will and won't tolerate.

• Limit Interaction: Reduce the time you spend with energy-draining individuals.

• Practice Self-Care: Engage in activities that replenish your energy and promote well-being.

• Seek Support: Talk to friends, family, or a therapist about your experiences.
