I've always been the advice giver hence my new training as a life-coach seems like a "GREAT IDEA" to everyone who I mention it to. I found myself visiting a forum a few weeks back where it seemed like a "pity contest" and after a couple of times I was able to feel it physically draining me and to say "no more". I stated twice how I saw how people could help themselves and it is up to them now to decide whether or not to take my advice. I am doing the same in my personal life. If someone honestly wants to change but just doesn't know how -- I WANT to show them and see the change when they finally "get it" and realize that their feelings and words affect EVERYTHING. But if a person just honestly likes to be miserable and cannot fathom real change -- I know they are not someone that I can spend time with.

I am doing the same in my personal life. If someone honestly wants to change but just doesn’t know how — I WANT to show them and see the change when they finally “get it” and realize that their feelings and words affect EVERYTHING. But if a person just honestly likes to be miserable and cannot fathom real change — I know they are not someone that I can spend time with.

I do try to help people out when possible, or at least listen when they need a friend. However, some people seem to genuinely enjoy their misery and they try to make you miserable along with with. There just aren't enough hours in the day for that! Absolutely. I do try to help people out when possible, or at least listen when they need a friend.

My big group of friends from high school has shrunk considerably, and the only people I really make an effort to see now are not energy vampires. There are so many people in the world that by being around people who aren't positively contributing to your life you are settling. You owe it to yourself to have people in your life, who are consciously trying to better their lives and the lives of the people around them, while you do the same.

I call these people "Eeyores" and have started to avoid them or tune them out as much as possible. Isn't just amazing how fast someone like that can drain you and ruin your whole day? “Energy Vampires” is a great term.
