The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

2. Learn effective ways to end conversations with energy vampires (eg, I only have ten minutes to talk.")

3. Stay calm and detached from energy vampires. Don't let their negative energy consume you.

4. Be honest about your needs (eg, "I need this time to work/read/relax/exercise.")

5. Refrain from attempting to rescue them or fix an energy vampire's problems.

6. Practice walking away from energy vampires.; the more you do it, the easier it gets.

7. Limit eye contact with energy vampires.

8. Avoid being in close spaces with energy vampires (elevators, cars, etc). Negative energy is catching.
