Hi there! I'm Aries Yoko, your fortune teller and psychological counselor.

"After talking to that person, I'm always so exhausted I have to lie down." "I was feeling great before meeting them, but suddenly my mood just plummeted..."

Have you ever had an experience like that? It might be because the other person is an "Energy Vampire" who drains your energy. Today, I'll tell you all about who they are and how to handle them.

🧛‍♂️ What is an Energy Vampire?

Energy Vampires often don't mean any harm, but they unconsciously absorb the positive energy of those around them to fill a void in their own hearts.

Here are some common traits:

• Endless Complaining: They are always the "protagonist of a tragedy." Even if you give advice, they deny it with "but" or "however" and prolong the dark conversation.
• Constant "One-upping": They try to replenish their energy by standing in a position of superiority—bragging or making remarks that put others down.
• Strong Dependency: They rely on you excessively, saying things like "You're the only one I have," seeking a sense of security by taking up your time.

🛡️ Three Strategies to Protect Your Precious Self

To avoid having your energy drained, you need a few tricks.

1. Create Physical and Psychological Distance: The best countermeasure is to avoid involvement as much as possible. It's important to draw a boundary—showing "I am not your energy source"—by delaying replies to messages or avoiding being alone with them.

2. Visualize an Image Barrier: When you have to meet them, imagine a "dome of sparkling light" surrounding you. Just having the image of their negative words bouncing off that dome can make you less prone to fatigue.

3. Just Noticing "Oh, I'm being drained" is Enough: If you objectively notice, "Ah, I'm getting caught up in this person's pace right now," you can stop about half of the energy outflow.

✨ How to Reclaim Stolen Energy?

If you feel you've been drained, take care of yourself quickly. By taking a warm bath, smelling your favorite scent, or enjoying some alone time, your energy will properly recover.

"What is the current state of my energy?" "What should I do about my relationship with that person from now on?"

If you want to know how to protect yourself or reset your fortune, I highly recommend borrowing the power of Tarot cards!
