We’ve all known people who just seem to suck the positive emotions right out of us, like vampires. A good litmus test is to figure out whether you’d probably feel better or worse after spending some time with the person. Sometimes, trying to avoid getting sucked in and giving them advice or trying to console them is the right approach. If you do spend time with them, find a way to recharge your emotional batteries afterwards — it can be anything from exercise to cute animals, even meditation. Above all, you definitely don’t want to find yourself imitating them in your own interactions!
