Have you ever been in a good mood, had a conversation with someone and afterward felt completely drained of all your joy?
It’s like they just sucked the happiness right out of you by dumping all their emotional and toxic baggage on your mental plate.
These are what I call Needy People. They are the people that are always in need of your help, or they need to talk to you about their dramatic life, or they need money, or they need to live with you, or, or, or… the list goes on.
They are takers and rarely if ever do they give; and what’s really funny, they know just whom to come to when they need saving ---- YOU!
If you realize that you are becoming CAPTAIN SAVE A… lost soul, narcissist, energy vampire, [whatever - you fill in the blank ??], then it may be time to implement some easy strategies to protect your life.
A few of my tried and true are:
- Set boundaries
- Don’t answer the phone when they call
- Don’t always be available
- Put your needs first
- Just say no (without giving an explanation)
- Listen to your intuition

Don’t get me wrong there is nothing wrong with helping people in need, but the issue arises when there is no balance.
When your life is inconvenienced, and your priorities are put on the back burner because you are dealing with other people’s toxic behaviors.
Your main job is to protect your energy, your life, and your time. You do that by focusing on the type of people that you want in your life; people that have a balance, they are self-sufficient, abundant, and are also givers.
XOXO
