In the course of life, you meet a different kinds of people. For each phase, you get attached to some and life continues. Soon as you get older you start to recognize the types and learn to live deal or you may adjust to them. But here’s the question what about those who sneak up on you, who are doing constant damage to which you are absolutely blind and who even you deem the most important. These are emotional vampires. They literally suck your aura and leave you hollow. I know its harsh but hey truth is harsh!

Who are these emotional vampires? They are not the ordinary people you say hi to in the hallways, sit with while waiting for someone or have a meet and greet session in once or twice a year. This may shock you but these are the one who is not part of your inner circle, they make your inner circle. To you they are the go-to person they are the one to fight for, they are your number one priority.

The sad thing is they put on a big show of caring more and fall for it every time if you even give a slight hint of their attitude they would say its out of love and make you count every microscopic act they had showered on you. If you won, they would not even have a word of appreciation and even for trying you would be their number one fan. One slight improvement and they will make you blow it out of proportion and celebrate it. One slip by you and they will make you wish for the earth to swallow you up. For them, you will always be a flaw but they need you around how else will they be the best.

The realization that you are actually a prey comes when you have been sucked dry. You subconsciously mold yourselves to them and let them have their day while you suffer the nerve-wracking traumas. How to get out of this? It might be the hardest thing. You have to leave the cherished beloved person behind and step ahead. You have to adjust your perspective lens. You have to make yourself your own first priority. Take the step.
