Mudhoney Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I’m on the fence with these kinds of things, but I’m having an odd thing happen every time I see a certain relative. Almost immediately after I say hello, I get the feeling of a headache coming on. My head will start to hurt with intensity in proportion to the length of the conversation. I had to take a drive with her for an hour and my head hurt so bad I had to go to bed when I got home. I know this could be explained as just a coincidence, but have any of you experienced anything like this around certain people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pratt Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 i have an old friend,,,, for past few years, hes becoming difficult to get along with,,, would call him on his mobile at noon for lunch n he would not pick uo phone because he is sleeping after gaming till 6am,,,, send him message in the morning and he may reply at 11pm or 3am next day, if he happens to see the message,,,, when did have a chance to go out with him, besides movie, and glueing his eyes to his smart phone, it was tiring,,,, to meet him n maintain the friendship takes up alot energy and effort,,,, so have decided for this year to let him get in touch with me rather than i seem to be a nuisance to him,,,, energy sapping friend 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MerryG Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Yes, it sounds as if the headache is tension from being around somebody you don't want to be with. But I know that "vampire" energy, too. There's a local woman in my town. I don't know her well, but I know her well enough to know she's an energy vampire. Merely saying hello to her at the post office feels like being sucked into a dark void. Part of me understands this intellectually (because I know she's a manipulator and a self-dramatizer). But part of me finds it almost mystically weird, this dark energy field she seems to have around her. And I'm normally not the "woo" type. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voice Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 This person sounds like someone who if you avoid her it would benefit you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creative Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 You'd be amazed how the mind can affect the body. Thinking certain things can make you physically sick.I have this with umm how you call it, to much gass in the intestines (hurts like hell). I had this when i went true a hard period and had lots of stress. (got drops for it wish worked great). But after the hard period and stress i no longer needed any drops.Still get it some times when im like super stressed out with work.Being around a person that makes you feel uncomfortable (for many reasons, including ones that you are not consciously aware of atm) could easily make you physically sick and cause headaches and such.I kind of see it like your body saying: "he dude, don't do that, stay away from that". Continuing on this line, even do its kind of off subject. Im amazed with how my body tells me things.For example a all off a sudden craving for strawberry, tomato's and such.Its the body telling you what it needs (keeping additional factors in mind).(doesn't apply in all cases, like now i would really like some chips and i have a high cholesterol )Did have wierd salmon craving do after eating bad food for a few days (and i never eat salmon) wish is great for lowering cholesterol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♦ Fuego ♦ Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I have a passive-aggressive coworker who often radiates contempt and occasionally outright hatred, for weeks at a time. I have no choice but to work with him, so I go through my own practices of grounding, shielding, and being nice to him regardless. Eventually, he mellows out and becomes civil again. Christians would call that "loving your enemies", and pagans see it as a mindful use of energy to counteract harmful influences. I choose to not allow him to make me icky. I feel the ick coming from him and feel the natural nervousness rise inside of me, and I have a choice to either react to the social awkwardness with anger and like-energy, or day after day continue to be civil and kind because that is what I want to be. He is a Catholic and has been taught better, but he doesn't often seem to embrace his own beliefs. Generally speaking, if you don't have to have such people in your circle, then don't. Gather people around you who lift you up and make you a better you. But I think that we will always encounter those we need to learn from, if only to grow some "spiritual muscle" in drawing boundaries and pursuing mindful self-identity. (I see my coworker as providing that kind of lesson. As they say, it is easy to be a holy man on a mountain, so go instead to the city.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this coworker feel contempt and hatred toward you or just in general? This relative of mine, a cousin, is someone I have to see on and off because of mutual family members. She is always nice to my face but I feel some intense dislike for me coming off of her in waves. She is the only person who has ever caused these headaches.

She is the only person who has ever caused these headaches. Mostly just towards me, but he does it to the bosses and vendors also. I came in with a ton of IT knowledge and the bosses say he feels threatened. But I think mostly it is his personality to be this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedah Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_prizes_for_evidence_of_the_paranormal Wow look at all the unclaimed free cash! Why do psychics choose to work for chump change in large cities full of gullible people... when they could easily be millionaires in a week? It's a mystery.

Kurari Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Of course. I don't consider energy vampires to be supernatural beings or anything. Some people in the world are just so intense, and so negative, and so constantly embroiled in drama that it just sucks you in and influences your state of mind and getting it worked up, resulting in feeling exhausted and ill. I think that's just a normal way to feel after dealing with folks like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
