I'm confused by the term "narcissists/energy vampires." I consider "narcissist" and "energy vampire" to be distinct from each other (and I have a specific criteria for someone to be a narcissist, btw). Perhaps you're not getting any answers because others are confused by what you mean as well. IP: Logged |

Thing is, I'm still not sure what you mean, because you associate them with "narcissist" which makes me wonder if you have a completely different definition of what an energy vampire is than I do. Nevertheless, I'll pretend we have an at least somewhat similar idea, though obviously we don't.
At least in my case they can only affect me if they get their emotional hooks into me somehow, for example needing me to "do something" or trying to get me to feel sorry for them. I suppose if I were more fragile then such "formalities" wouldn't be needed. In any case, if every time you're with someone you come out of it feeling a bit muddled or tired and you feel an instinctive desire to avoid them (but not in a rude way) in the future then I'd say that was some kind of psychic vampire (people to be avoided in any case). I've noticed that they virtually never have long term friends, they're always on the prowl for someone new.
There are more extreme kinds, but I'm assuming we're not talking about those here.
I'll thrown in, due to the "narcissism" aspect, that if you're around one of those narcissists who think energy vampires are the greatest thing to be and brag about doing it then just stay away. Narcissists are actually very weak people (and I can see why the idea of stealing the strength and vitality of others appeal to them, and I have known of a handful who struck me as candidates for being diagnosed as such who bragged of being "psi vamps" and the like) and for them to affect you then you'd have to become weaker than them, or otherwise convinced they have power over you. If they can't trick you like that then they have no power over you, they can only have what you give them. Of course if you're in a group of friends that allow such a person among them then you should ask what you're doing with those people and look to finding better friends who aren't so easily manipulated by such.
If this applies to you then go find some places in nature that help you relax. Maybe the waves of a water body, or even flowers and trees swaying in the wind. Spread your arms and exult in being alive to see such beauty, this should strengthen your aura. Religion can help IF it's not toxic (promoting fear and guilt, ironically the more it warns about evil, the more likely it is to be evil, or at least toxic that makes one more vulnerable to evil). And then find some better friends. When the aura isn't cracked from rampant fear and guilt then it's difficult for most to break/tap into. And avoiding psi vamps in the first place, which means avoiding those who surrender to them or even willingly enable them. IP: Logged |

If one is currently draining you, then batten down the hatches and get rid of this person. S/he will probably try some revenge, but after awhile will seek new prey.I got away from one in part by using a poppet. My very first experience with witchcraft was doing this, and it was suggested because of an extremely traumatic episode and a person who terrified me who practiced a malicious sort of "magick" (and imagined himself a "vampyre"). I made a poppet of the person, and since I had nothing of the person I instead drew pictures with the name while imagining the essence of that person put into me flowing through into the drawing that I sewed into the poppet, as well as items related to the parts of me traumatized. And then burning it in a ritual. IP: Logged |

Know that it is not your fault if someone is a jerk to you. If you did not do anything to them, then it is their fault and you can, either, defend yourself( by rights) or ignore.------------------

I make bracelets for this purpose (seen here) - http://etsy.me/1znw6Ea This one uses schorl (black tourmaline), golden sheen obsidian & tiger's eye. You could swap the rainbow obsidian for snowflake obsidian for an interesting look. Maybe you could make something like this one? ------------------
