They thrive by stealing energy from others through their irritating behavior. This way (one of many ways) of depleting others, can be recognized by the feeling of having been drained after being around them.
The Seer:
Those who employ this method of causing irritation in others to deplete them and energize themselves, require the presence of others as an energy source. They usually employ some endearing behavior patterns in order to prevent alienating others completely — particularly after acting in an annoying way. Others are left feeling guilty that they should be irritated by such a "charming" or "loving" person. This guilt brings them back for more interaction.

Dearest Almine,
I had an experience where I felt coerced and tricked by someone entitled, to give them more money than I should have. It was by this type of person you describe. After doing so I felt quite upset that I let it happen. If feels as though something in me was stolen. Today I've been crying. My mom also had a similar experience done so by the parents of the person who did so to me. She also felt the way I did and wanted to cry.
This event feels significant but don't know exactly how.
is there a way one can recover stolen energy/life force/power? Or what is the best thing to do after such thing happens?
Thank you very much.
Beautiful painting, Almine! It captures the essence of the subjects. Interesting that these posts on relationships are coming up again now–they are timely for me. Thank you!
Thank you, beloved Almine … and Rogier, for posting this message. This is so helpful to me right now.
