The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Hmmm, this is a tricky one for me to answer. I think that if you felt someones negetivity even after they have left that you just have a lasting impression because they rubbed you the wrong way. I would say that the emotions can definitely rub off on you and leave you feeling a bit sour but would you also consider this to be energy? I suppose I would in this context.

yeah i think it's possible. i've met a lot of people that just ooze negativity. i like the way Belanger explains negativity as staying in one place. i think it's true because sometimes i walk somewhere and i get hit with this wall of negativity.

I have met people who are so negative that I had to leave them - in a public place. My husband is in a band and we are around alot of people all the time. There are just some people who are so negative for whatever reasons, they reek from it. They have nothing good to say every. I've met a few people on here like that too. And yes they do bring you down.

Yes, I've also come across some incredibly negative people, hence the post. I won't say where I met these people, that's not important. The important thing is that this person seems to drage me down from miles and miles away. I wanted to know if anyone knows how to do a cleansing? Maybe that would help

Yes, I do believe that some people are so negative that their negative energy even follows where their name is mentioned. I have known a few people like that.

I have had encounters with people who have drained my energy with their negativity and a headache occurrred. At around the holiday season when I go through the mall...I can pick up people's positive or negative energy. I always try and wrap the white light of a higher power around me to try and let the negativity slide off.

Yes, I've known people like that before. It's usually only if they're EXTREMELY upset though, not all the time. But I wouldn't be too awful surprised if there were people out there that ooze negativity 24/7.

I too sometimes feel the drain of negativity from the energy vampires around me.. If my energy and spirits are energized `though I am better equipped to combat their negativity. It kind of act like a force field.. .

I think it is only what YOU allow that person to affect you or rather how much, it is ultimately in your control. Yes I think they can leave their mark so to speak but you are the one that allows it to affect you or not.

well, i think that if a person's mean spirited enough they can affect you from far away. i know this because it's happened to me. i couldn't stop the person from sending out negative feelings to me and the ones i care about.

Your so right pandorasbx65. I use to think I was the emotion barometer for the room. I have since found that if I choose to stay in a positive state of mind... I don't need to let others emotions take be to their level..

I'm not so sure that the negativity can be "left behind" in the sense that you could walk into a space where they had been, without knowledge of their past presence, and be 'drained'.

I do think that a person's negativity can be so pervasive that ANY contact with them, or the mere mention of their name or knowledge that they had just occupied the same space, can drain your positivity.

We all have encountered these people and it would be nice to have a way to negate this effect.

Negativity can course through a person and that person can grow bitter and contagious with their misery. Still, trying to give as much support as possible can help turn things around. Just be strong enough to walk away if the time does come.

I believe that it is possible to encounter someone with so much negativity, that it lingers after they leave. I think that is why some objects tend to hold a great deal of negative energy.

i've tried to not let people get to me, to let their negativity bring me down, but there are some people who i just cannot seem to be able to block. their negativity is so strong they just overwhelm everyone around them. everyone says so

i think it really would depend on who they were and what your relationship was with them. i know that being AROUND people who have negative energy can be really horrible, but im not too sure about whether they would leave a "trail" of negative energy.
what type of people would be most likely to leave a trail of negative energy? a murderer? someone who is suicidal? im not too sure i understand the connotations of the word "negative" here :S

I think its possible for a negative energy to leave its mark on a person for a time, but I think it is only temporary and that the energy would return to normal after a time.

Yes I have come across a person just "reeking" of negativity, as well as others completely chaotic and hard to be around because of picking up the emotions coming from them. There are times when I've been going through a breakup or turmoil that some of my very sensitive friends have a hard time being around me, that is until I was able to learn how to control and encapsule myself around people.

I think that it could be possible if the place was maybe a disater. Like I know when I look around at some abandoned places that I can feel sad suddenly and know there was possibly a lot of pain, anger, or hatred in the atmosphere. Lots of people leave something behind. Feelings are the strongest thing a human can have.

There have been incidents where I am around certain people and it just saddens me but I'm sure we have all experienced that. It's more common.

that's an interesting thought. what if abandoned places are abandoned because of the risidual negativity from the people who resided there.

Have you ever experianced the reverse affected by joy in the same way. Are some emotions more powerful than others?

yeah i have. there are a couple select people that when they're around me i can't help but feel happy and content. i guess love would be the strongest of those emotions. and yeah, i think you can feel that from far away.

Some people do seem to pass their negative energy on to others. My husband'd friend is horrible about this. When he first started coming around, I could not been anywhere near him. Overtime with him coming around a lot, I have gotten used to it, & seem to automatically guard against absorbing his energies.

i wonder if negativity can be countered with positivity. is it like they can cancel themselves out? what do you think?

I agree with the opening statement as i also beleive that objects and rooms (Specifically the walls) have the capebility to hold memory's and emotions.
So yes, i beleive that there are people out there with so much negitivity it can bring down anyone who's slightly weak at that time.
But also i beleive that the reverse can happen, being around someone that is constantly happy will have a possitive effect.
Also what should be taken into mind is the minds need to replicate body language in order to feel a touch more secure in there surrounding's/situation.

Thank you for posting an interesting topic :)

Yeah I believe in that...definitely. Emotions resonate from people and a lot of times it isn't hard to pick up on them.

I've got a couple of friends who completely drain me of my good mood and positive energy. It's shocking. Just being around them does the job. Even if you love them to bits, some people just have the ability to drain you with their negative energy.

I would have to say yes also. I know a few people who drain me badly when they are around. It would be one thing if they were vampires, but they are just so negative that it can drain out positive energy. It is very fustrating sometimes.

One of my theories is that aura is fed off of the soul. Negative aura can easily pour off of you and into the atmosphere in that certain area. Now, whether or not the amount of negative aura that is there is enough to affect a person, that depends on how well they react to different energy fluctuations. This is all that I can really post right now for the matter, as I am still looking for my old research documents on aura and spiritual energy. If I were to find it, perhaps I can give a better answer.

you need to get rid of all the negativity

that's very true, you should get rid of the negativity but it's not very easy. actually it's not easy at all. i still haven't been able to figure out ohw to get rid or negativity on a good level
