There are some types of people who drain your energy. Often referred to as energy vampires or psychic vampires, these people only 'take' from you and leave you emotionally drained. This can be especially problematic if you're an empath or a highly sensitive person who is easily affected by the emotional energy of others. That's why it's important to recognize the different types of toxic people and to learn to protect yourself from energy vampires, as people who drain you can appear at work, home, or in your social circle.
