For Your Own Well-Being, Push the Psychic Vampires Aside

I recently had a conversation with a friend. We were talking about his 18-year-old and some of the astounding life-challenges teens face these days. A lot of crazy stuff is happening (yes, astonishingly being permitted…encouraged?) in schools that we not only didn’t have to deal with at that age but never in a million years could have imagined. I have difficulty believing some of the things I have heard. As a high school student, it is challenging to be in school, much less deal with a classmate treating you like a second-class citizen, especially one you had considered a “friend.” I believe these are false friends who will not hesitate to betray others.

I think those people never were true friends, as you have learned and will continue to learn as you navigate through school and beyond. They have low self-esteem, most likely experience self-hatred, don’t know how to love themselves, and resent their peers who refuse to follow the sheep or may seem to have it figured out. They believe demeaning others will elevate their emotional state and perhaps increase their status with the delusional bullies they surround themselves with. Unbeknownst to them, it probably does just the reverse. Do these people stick with that “dark” crowd for protection, to fit in, to feel better about themselves, and maybe to feel part of a group? This is despite the emotional sacrifices they make to be a small fragment of a morally twisted collection of people. I like to call this collection of individuals Psychic Vampires. They suck the very energy out of you, leaving you weakened, confused, and angry.

At my job a few years ago, I was dismayed that some people blithely carry these behaviors well into adulthood; I’m talking about 30, 40, and 50 years old. Sad, right? Clueless. Above all, we need to to love and respect ourselves as well as others. However, that is difficult to do while demeaning and humiliating each other.

If only we could explain to our kids that they can expect to have very few good and loyal friends in life and if they learn to trust their gut (intuition). They will eventually be able (amazingly) to recognize who those people are. Those good people are trustworthy, honest, reliable, and worthy of our friendship; cherish them.

I’m sorry this has happened to you, but I have learned that those “others” do not deserve our time and energy; we must reserve that for our faithful friends! The others need to be eliminated from our circle, no longer worth the time to think about or stress over. Would they be pleased to know how their behavior hurts you and weighs heavy on you? So…it is time to rid yourself of that unnecessary burden. It is behind you and should be considered a valuable lesson, yes, a learning experience, and more knowledge in your tool kit to be pulled out, referred to, and recalled when needed. Do not fear the dark side…

As for me, I can’t…no, I won’t allow anyone to have that negative, spiritually low vibrational influence on me. How about you? Take back your power; mentally push away the unnecessary drain on your emotional, mental, spiritual, and especially your physical health. Visualize a beautiful protective bubble surrounding you, and imagine all the negativity bouncing off your bubble. They will indeed be surprised, perhaps distressed, to learn they can no longer affect you in any way. Maybe we should have compassion for those who just don’t get it.

Again, TAKE BACK YOUR POWER!
