What do energy vampires have a problem with?

Generally speaking, energy vampires lack primarily their own energy and courage. You have a disturbed self-esteem and that they unconsciously (!) Try to compensate by their behavior. Experiences that can turn people into energy robbers are, for example:



  • mobbing

  • great pressure and high expectations from outside
  • emotional or physical abuse
  • unsubstantiated guilt feelings from childhood, which have settled (for separation of the parents, over older siblings, because of financial problems ...)

Energy vampires: 5 types of power robbers

In her book "From the Shadow to the Light: How to Detect and Detach Energy Robbers" (ZS Verlag), physician Christiane Nostrup differentiates between the following five types of energy robbery personalities:

  1. sociopath
  2. Psychopaths (histrionic personality disorder)
  3. narcissists
  4. borderliner
  5. dropout

Important: This typing refers to people whose personality disorder has the consequence that they cross other people's boundaries and thereby rob them of strength. But everyone deals with challenges differently! That is, not all people living with a borderline or antisocial disorder are energy vampires, but all energy vampires usually fall into one of these groups.

All five types have in common that they tend to theatrical, overly emotional and unpredictable thinking and behavior. What differentiates them from each other and how exactly the energy vampire types suck each other out, you will now find out.



1. The sociopath aka the victim

In sociopaths is particularly noteworthy that they lying and cheating, without feeling guilty and guilty, Sociopaths lack one thing: empathy. They take no responsibility for their actions, are often aggressive and sometimes even violent. The consequence: Anyone who is dealing with a sociopath is usually not only mistreated by him, but often feels responsible and guilty. For although they are actually the perpetrators, sociopaths see themselves as victims and thus trigger the bad conscience in their counterpart.

2. The psychopath aka Mister Perfect

People with a histrionic personality disorder gain attention through extremes, They always know everything (but can never prove it), know every feeling (only a hundred times worse), have blatant mood swings and are very intent on their appearance. Next to mister-perfect-psychopaths one disappears along with his problems, feelings, experiences and feels like an insignificant nothingness.

3. The narcissist aka the navel of the world

Narcissists see themselves as the center of the universe ? not only that of her own, but that of all human beings. Therefore, they think it's okay and even find it perfectly okay to manipulate others and exercise power and control. Narcissists want to stand in the limelight and be admired, who does not go there, will be punished? and every means is right. When we are with a narcissist we lose our independence and autonomy without realizing it.

4. The Borderliner aka the transient

For Borderliner, life is a complete intoxication, If everything is awesome at one moment and the world is one big, big cotton candy palace, the next moment everything can be in ruins and nothing can make sense anymore. Borderliners (literally "frontier workers") are themselves torn and thus (naturally unintentional) masters in throwing others off track and splitting them, Whoever is dealing with a Borderliner can only rely on one thing: that he can not rely on anything at all!

5. The asocial aka the bag-holder

Asocial personality types tend to be on the margins of communities and are only there when there is something to distribute, But that's exactly how they often achieve something magical: that their "victims" come to them!Pocket hangers can take and take, but if the donor needs something, they will not give anything back, The trick: Asocial as a rule do not get into the embarrassment of having to pull out of the affair. Because for miraculous reasons, their victims usually do not even get the idea, themselves? if you yourself need something? to turn to her bag-holder.

Get rid of energy vampires!

Even though you are most likely to feel pity now: If you have an energy vampire in your environment, should you urgently distance yourself from it? at least emotionally! Healing an energy vampire while having a life of your own is virtually impossible.

Do you have any scruples about leaving your energy robber to yourself? Then you have a big task ahead of you: learning to love oneself! Because if you are not worthy enough to protect yourself from an energy vampire, you are more likely to become one yourself than to heal others, Besides, you should make yourself clear: Your loyalty nourishes the energy vampire and confirms his behavior, Often, energy vampires get to the point where there is no one left to compensate for their disruption, to the realization that they need help. In that sense, is distance the only sensible step in the relationship with an energy robber? for you and the vampire!
