Have you ever experienced the power of manifestation, where all your desires seem to magically come true?
It’s an incredible feeling, isn’t it?
But what about the times when you tried to manifest again and nothing seemed to happen?
Frustrating, right? Well, don’t fret.
There might be a reason your plans aren’t coming to fruition.
Your energy might be constantly getting drained and there’s a chance you could be an energy vampire.
This might be tough to admit, but it’s important to take a good, hard look at yourself and how you tend to be around others.
If you suspect you’re an energy vampire, don’t worry.
There are plenty of things you can do to shift your behavior and energy.
So, let’s dive into some strong indicators that you might be an energy vampire and how to move past it.
You Tend To Be Cynical With Friends
Do you ever notice yourself being (extra) cynical with your friends?
It’s easy to think that you’re only correcting them by providing unsolicited advice on positivity.
You might tell them, “You’re being too positive,” or something along those lines.
However, even if you think you’re only giving your friend/s a “reality check,” saying stuff like this, especially if it’s become a habit of yours, isn’t a good thing.
It’s one way to bring people down without realizing it because you think being “realistic” will keep them on their toes.
You Dominate Discussions
Do you find yourself always dominating or guiding the conversation, leading it toward a topic you want to discuss or something you can relate to?
If you’re always sticking to your subjects of interest or downplaying positive news the other person is sharing, you’re not listening to what the other person is trying to tell you.
To establish genuine relationships in your life, there need to be quality conversations that require a back and forth.
If you think you’re guilty of this, it’s time to make an effort to be a good listener and really pay attention to what the other person is saying.
You Focus Conversations On Yourself
It goes without saying that you need a lot of energy directed toward yourself to be an energy vampire.
Therefore, if you or people notice that most of the conversations you have revolved around yourself, then it’s likely you’re an energy vampire.
If you talk about yourself, how you think, how you feel, how your world is, etc., then that’s a strong indicator that you’re an energy vampire.
Be mindful of self-focused trends.
If you only ever talk about your problems and beliefs and you’re not asking about the other person, the other person will feel its effects. And trust me, it’s not a good one.
You’re Overly Critical of Others
Energy vampires are often insecure, which means they will use dehumanizing strategies to keep the other person insecure as well.
I know it’s not that easy to realize if you’re overly critical of others, but that’s why you need to pay closer attention the moment you notice it about yourself.
If you tend to criticize other people, and sometimes, on a whim, then that’s a powerful sign that you’re an energy vampire.
Your Energy is Depleted
It’s easy to feel drained when you have exhausted the energies of those around you.
When you’re an energy vampire, it’s likely your closest friends will choose to distance themselves from you.
Therefore, you won’t have energies to suck on anymore, which will leave you depleted.
When this happens, you will feel more down.
Other signs you’re an energy vampire:
- You get mad when your friends say no.
- You find yourself constantly talking when you meet people.
- You constantly need acknowledgment or validation from others.
- You love gossip and you’re eager to share it with others.
- Your friends are avoiding you.
- People in your life suddenly stop communicating with you.
- You’ve been told you’re too clingy or emotionally needy.
- You secretly love creating drama or making a big fuss out of nothing.

Commit to Heal
Being an energy vampire means you have issues that you haven’t healed yet.
To heal, you need to commit to it.
Choose to heal and grow spiritually, mentally, and emotionally.
You need to take emotional responsibility for your actions and behavior.
Once you are healed, you can start setting your intentions again.
Be More Mindful of Your Traits
Develop self-awareness by making an effort to get to know yourself.
By doing so, it will be easier for you to see the traits that make you an energy vampire.
Notice when you feel the emotional impulses, the need to act in the same negative vampiristic patterns.
Start To Practice Being a Good Listener
To be a good listener, you need humility and empathy.
When listening, it’s not only about hearing the words but also being mindful of what’s not said.
That way, you will be able to identify where you may be starting to drain others or not giving them space.
