We’ve all seen the movies where the vampire sucks the blood from the necks of the humans, but did you know that there is such a thing as an emotional vampire? You probably won’t see them on the big screen, but there is a good chance that there is at least one of them starring in the movie of your life.An emotional vampire sucks the energy out of you with as much greed as Blade will suck for blood. With their constant negativity, bad mouthing others and general unhappiness you’ll notice that you start to act and feel negatively when your around one of them. You can very easily tell who is the vampire in your life, if after you’ve been around them you feel drained, depressed, angry or all of the above. The more time you spend around these people the worse you’ll feel about yourself and your situation. Their energy rubs off on you and once you become one of them it is very hard to go back.I know how people like this can affect you because I was friends with one of them for almost ten years. Nothing was ever good enough for her and was rude to almost everyone she met. She constantly bragged about her bank accounts and her new Louis Vuitton bags. She put other people down because it made her feel better about herself. She tried so hard to make people believe that she was on top of the world, but deep down inside, she was lonely, sad and depressed. It was very draining to have to listen to her complaining all the time and one day I had enough. For my own good, I had to cut her off. I felt bad for her because I knew she was hurting on the inside, but it came to a point where I had to care more about myself and the way her negativity was affecting me.As young men and women, it is especially important to surround yourself with positive people who are trying to do something with themselves and their lives. Too many young people end up in negative situations because of the people they choose to spend time with. Make the choice today to end relationships that have a negative affect on you. You will feel better about yourself on the inside, and you will be able to start on a new path with a clearer head and a more positive outlook.Courtneywww.guideourgirls.ning.com
