Do you know someone who is always unhappy and willing to share that unhappiness with everyone? My sister calls them emotional vampires.
These are people who are forever negative about everything. If you are enjoying a song they do not like the lyrics or music. If you are watching a movie they have a running narrative about the plot, acting, and script. They criticize the way other people look, dress, eat... all of it.
It is exhausting to be around an emotional vampire. Any happy or positive thoughts you have are sucked right out of you. Eventually you feel as miserable as they do.
I am normally a very happy person. I have good reason to be. Of course I have unhappy times. Deaths and illnesses come to mind. We grieve and survive.
I have known emotional vampires. I avoid them when I can.
I am so wretched in their presence. If you are an emotional vampire STOP. If you are near an emotional vampire RUN. We need peace and harmony.
Surround yourself with cheerful people, that is always my advice!
ReplyDeleteGppd advice.
DeleteI agree you dear Emma
ReplyDeleteBut here is what I thought now
There are two types of people negative and positive and both parties try to manifest themselves in what they got .both try to spread what they got ,so yes I avoid them and stay away thankfully
I had a sister-in=law who actually got up in the morning saying in a bright sunny voice, "GOOD MORNING EVEERYBODY!" That could be annoying.
