Something Nubian

Introduction:

As a Positive Inner-G coach, I’ve seen how certain individuals can drain your energy, leaving you questioning your worth and happiness. These people often disguise their intentions under the cloak of friendship, support, or even love. But their actions tell a different story—a story where they feel the need to control your happiness, ensuring that they remain at the top. Let’s explore the key signs of these energy vampires and how you can protect your peace and well-being.

Constant Comparison: The Hidden Competition

One of the most telling signs of someone who doesn’t truly want to see you happy is their constant need to compare. Whether it’s your achievements, possessions, or even your personal growth, they always find a way to measure themselves against you. This type of person often minimizes your successes or, worse, tries to outdo you in every way possible.

Positive Inner-G Coach Tip: When you notice someone constantly comparing, take a step back and remind yourself that your journey is unique. Celebrate your wins privately and publicly, but recognize when someone’s competitive spirit is unhealthy. It’s okay to distance yourself from those who can’t celebrate you without feeling threatened.

Subtle Put-Downs: The Backhanded Compliment

Have you ever received a compliment that didn’t feel like a compliment at all? Subtle put-downs, often disguised as advice or concern, are another red flag. These individuals might say things like, “I’m surprised you were able to do that,” or “That’s great, but have you thought about doing it this way instead?” Their words are designed to make you doubt yourself or feel less than.

Positive Inner-G Coach Tip: Trust your instincts. If a comment makes you feel uneasy, it’s likely that it wasn’t meant to uplift you. Respond with grace, but remember that you don’t have to accept every opinion as valid. Your worth is not dependent on someone else’s judgment.

Lack of Genuine Support: The Fair-Weather Friend

When something positive happens in your life, a true friend will celebrate with you. However, an energy vampire may downplay your achievements, change the subject, or shift the focus back to themselves. Their support is conditional—they’re there for the good times as long as those good times don’t outshine theirs.

Positive Inner-G Coach Tip: Surround yourself with people who uplift you, not those who only show up when it benefits them. Reflect on the relationships in your life—are they based on mutual support and encouragement? If not, it might be time to reevaluate their place in your journey.

Control: The Hidden Manipulator

Control can be subtle, often masked as care or concern. This person might try to dictate your decisions, who you spend time with, or even how you feel about yourself. They may insist that they know what’s best for you, but their true intention is to keep you dependent on them, limiting your growth and happiness.

Positive Inner-G Coach Tip: Empower yourself by setting clear boundaries. Assert your independence and trust your ability to make decisions that are best for you. Remember, a healthy relationship is built on mutual respect, not control.

Recognizing these red flags is the first step toward protecting your peace and reclaiming your power. As you continue on your journey of self-growth, remember that it’s okay to prioritize your well-being, even if it means letting go of relationships that no longer serve you. Trust in your inner wisdom and surround yourself with those who genuinely want to see you thrive.
