All of us may experience drained and exhausted, time to time - physically, mentally, emotionally and consequently financially – but as these are temporary [caused by any sudden situation or your own mistake] we are able to bounce back to our natural self, fast.

In this article we will focus on – how to identify people among your all relationships - who hijack your happiness, emotional-serenity, mental-peace and growth etc. - AND how to protect yourself from these negative human-forces using empowering ways.

If you look back – you may identify the patterns –few specific people in your relationships make you - mentally-exhausted, feel emotionally-drained, sense as if your complete life & physical-energy is sucked-out, you just don't have any motivation and enthusiasm left and your willpower gone - making you feel overwhelmed, hopeless and helpless.

It can be especially very-very challenging and difficult to deal with – if this is a person whom you love, trust and respect unconditionally – who continuously drains your enthusiasm, hope, emotional energy – making you start doubting yourself by having the feeling of being left alone, guilty, worthless, anxious and perpetually stressed.

You may also find that there are people – who just by being around you – can cause feelings of shame, guilt, dread, fear, anxiety, helplessness and hopelessness in you.

These type of people are the – real Vampires/Evils/Devils/Satan – living among us in the guise of friends, seniors, relatives, POLITICIANs and people of authority etc. –they could also be even your romantic-partners, siblings and parents [at least one of them].

Most of these people have very unhealthy levels of psychological and mental disorders – like narcissism, megalomaniac and severe anti-social disorders etc.

These people don't have any scruple or remorse while Manipulating, deceiving, taking advantage of people, exploiting the weak and helpless people and disregard the law as well as the boundaries and rights of people.

Here and in many parts of the world – these people are ruling and are transforming the culture of almost peaceful societies into – banana-republic, crony-capitalistic, religiously-fanatic and kangaroo-court as well as tyrannically and criminally ruled countries.

They thrive on power – which they get through the large army of their actively participative-supporters who too are milking and looting and increasing their wealth.

None of these people have any intention to help anyone – they only help their friends.

These are highly insecure people [contrary to the impression they try to create] by and use Violence, Whataboutery, Misinformation, Criminal Actions, Suppression tools and their power, ruthlessly - to silence and muffle – anyone they feel threatened from.
