What does it mean when you feel physically and mentally drained after being around someone or talking to them? It doesn’t happen all the time but sometimes even when they’re texting me, I automatically get annoyed because I feel drained.

They are a good friend for the most part. But I feel drained some days around them. Other times it’s normal

I had a friend like this. I decided to take a step back from our relationship and set more boundaries. It’s okay every once in a while to feel heavy after talking to a friend if they’re going through something heavy and they vent to you a lot. But in my opinion it’s not okay if you constantly feel drained and mixed emotions after talking and spending time with them.

I call those type of people energy vampires 🧛🏼 cuz they just suck it out of you. But in reality it’s not their fault necessarily, just something about them triggers you. I feel drained after being around most people cuz I’m highly sensitive or i guess some people call it an empath but I take on others emotions easily and it wears on me so I need to recharge preferably alone or just with my small fam after being around most people despite if they’re vampire like or not lol. For me it’s not a spiritual thing it’s just the way I’m wired.

I’m trying not to think too deep into it because I naturally like to be alone and they are very clingy . So I’m thinking maybe that’s it

Life suckers I call it. They suck the life out of out you. My mother is like this and so is my husband

@Christina🤱🏼🍂☕️♈️ why did you marry him then if that's how you feel about him 🤔

Colin Robinson 😭 Jk I get like this over some time and then I just take a week off of being social. I used to feel bad about it, but now I don’t. I need to recharge my batteries. 😮‍💨

@Tiffanie I love this!

Those energy vampires 😖 for me they’re usually super negative, full of drama, gossipy. You may drain me once but you won’t drain me twice 🙅🏻‍♀️

It really depends. It could be a personality/ energy level difference or it could be that they are negatively impacting your thoughts causing you to feel mentally drained from listening to them whine or gossip so much. Gossip-y people drain me a lot.

Could just be that you don't vibe and you're opposites in lots of ways!
