I see you broke it all down and split everything up, but what if the vampire is all the above? So much effort to combat against, so many directions, only confusing oneself falling right into the trap! Oh this vampire that holds all the above must be a powerful little vermin,,,lol LOL, your funny, but here is something funnier….

I wanted to add; How do we know who are energy vampires? The energy of some people is just lovely and we feel so good when we are in their presence. However, there are other people whose energy is just plain nasty to be around. If we are not careful and don’t know what to do we can start to feel drained when we are around them and quite literally experience changes in our own energy. For example; If you are in a good space and “for no reason” start to feel drained and kind of powerless, chances are you got zapped by one of those vampires. Thanks Dawn Pugh Hi Theresa,
Great post with some good practical advice on protection. I wanted to add;

How do we know who are energy vampires?

The energy of some people is just lovely and we feel so good when we are in their presence. However, there are other people whose energy is just plain nasty to be around.

If we are not careful and don’t know what to do we can start to feel drained when we are around them and quite literally experience changes in our own energy.

For example; If you are in a good space and “for no reason” start to feel drained and kind of powerless, chances are you got zapped by one of those vampires.

Thanks

No but seriously, I'm pretty sure my best friend is a splitter, and I've tried a number of things in the past, but I find that calling them on their clear cut cognitive dissonance issues, often makes them reflect a little more about the congruence of their day to day behaviour.
