There is a special kind of people, after talking with whom you feel as if you were literally squeezed, like a lemon. The forces went somewhere, emptiness and fatigue appeared. It would seem that they exchanged just a couple of phrases, but your internal state suggests otherwise. Such people are called energy vampires, and close communication with them must be avoided. In order to recognize an energy vampire, you should know how to distinguish it from a simple interlocutor.
Instruction manual

Of course, the first sign is if after the conversation you have the aforementioned feeling of emptiness and weakness. You feel tired, you want to sleep, your mood disappears, and weakness appears. To avoid this, you need to determine the energy vampire in time.

This can be done by the following attribute - this is his manner of speaking. The vampire is the first to start a conversation, and in a conversation he practically does not listen to you - he speaks more. His manner of speaking is authoritarian and aggressive, any attempt to object, meets with fierce resistance or a cold detachment from the topic of conversation and a transition to another topic.

A person does not fulfill a social contract. For example, you share good news, but the reaction to it is by no means positive - the interlocutor throws a full bucket of problems on you and, in addition, you feel his dislike - that everything is fine with you, and he’s bad. He diligently tries to arouse sympathy and pity, and also seeks to make you feel awkward.
4
The interlocutor does not take into account your opinion and considers it necessary to impose his own, and it does not matter that you say the same thing. He can say the same thing, with the same words, and will strive to convince you that he is right and you are not. His main goal in this case is to unbalance you.
Useful advice
Resist ignoring or move away from such people.
