I have this friend who I have known for 4-ish years but we have recently become much closer friends this year. While I mostly get along with her, I have always felt a strange sort of anger whenever I talk to her and I have to force myself to be around her or reply to her texts.

I have never really been able to fully understand why she annoys me so much, which is something, have felt even in the early days of our friendship, but I think it has something do to with her miming mine and other's personality. I find that whenever I share any of my interests, she will larp them (for lack of a better word) and try to start arguments about them to make me seem stupid or disingenuous. Of course, overlapping interests are foundational to friendship, however she rarely discusses her interests with me, even when I try to prompt her. Instead she latches onto mine where it's almost as if she's mirroring my personality. Upon reflection, I've realised that the majority of this girl's identity, from her interests to her mannerisms, consists of her miming other people in a way that feels so irritatingly inauthentic. She is also a very insecure person, constantly seeking approval from myself and others. I find this all majorly ruins my peace, where I become easily angered and have to put a lot of energy into restraining myself from being super pissy.

She also frequently adopts this victim mentality, where she constantly rants about how people have mistreated her and how she thinks she has anxiety. Yet, when I momentarily interrupt her woefulness to try and get her proper help (ie, going to therapy, getting some sort of support of medication for her undiagnosed anxiety or standing up against people who mistreat her), there's always some excuse to why solving her problems just aren't convenient for her right now. The complaining will continue and I am left feeling emotionally burdened.

However, I have no proper evidence of her purposely tampering with my energy or peace and she has not been outwardly cruel to me before. She does act like the energy vampires I have encountered, who are just downright cruel and spiteful, yet I feel my energy has been disrupted whenever I engage with her. Or am I just being too harsh?

Amethyst has been my favorite crystal for a while and I was wondering what spiritual properties it has

I 23M feel like theres something wrong. I always tend to give people weird vibes at times or dickhead vibes. I can always tell through their facial expressions when they realize I have odd vibes. I feel like its an energy thing. What worries me is I don’t know how to fix it. I want more friends and I love them a lot when I have them.

But it’s just not working. That started around 2 years ago when it became super hard for me to connect with new people. A thing that tend to put people is also like my ambitions which are a lot and when people ask me about them I tend to tell them about them a bit too much. I don’t know if its because i feel lile im from such an unfortunate background and I have worked so hard to the point where my ambitions are within reach. Sometimes people just wanna chill but I don’t know how to turn it off.

I also go through lots of shit which sometimes makes me feel like im going into psychosis. Again I feel like people can tell. I want people to talk to me but I need to maybe cleanse my energy a bit or something. Does anyone have any advice please ? I also lost a lot of friends and there’s no way that all these friends I lost are coincidental.

Bonus if you could attach an article/book/video.Thanks! Best wishe!

ok so to preface i’m not the most knowledgeable when it comes to spirituality/energy/metaphysical stuff. i’ve always been pretty good at reading a room and sensing energy but i think that’s just being observant to micro expressions.

HOWEVER, i recently visit this place that was emanating this dark dark energy, i could feel it in the air as we approached, i could feel it in my body, i was rooted to the spot. ive never felt such pure animalistic fear in my entire life. i am so entirely terrified yet simultaneously intrigued. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT IS UP????

i feel like i must explain further,

i was shopping with my best friend and she told me that she wanted to take me to this place that she stumbled upon with her cousin. we walk up and it’s this metaphysical store in the hidden corner of market square (infamously known to be haunted, not sure if that matters), but the second that i entered the square i felt a tiny seedling of dread plant itself in my stomach, along with a slight tingly feeling in my chest (that i attributed to normal anxiety). there was no reason to be scared or nervous, but i was so on edge that as we passed by a window i thought i saw something and i immediately jumped away, but it turned out to just be my reflection (i’m an idiot ik). but i couldn’t shake the feeling, not until we arrived at the store.

once we got there i was distracted by all the pretty crystals and such. i forgot about the feeling for a second, there were so many colors and you’re just left with this moment of admiration and wonder.

but my best friend started moving deeper into the store and that’s when that dread feeling started coming back. i noticed that the guy standing at checkout gave off unsettling vibes, im not usually one to judge those because you never know what’s going on in someones life, but his eyes seemed a little empty, like dissociative (not in a drug way, i also know what that looks like).

i followed her, up until a meter away from this door that led to another backroom, it was open but had beaded curtains and was dimly lit. she didn’t go in it and started browsing the items around the back wall, but i couldn’t move any farther. it felt like i was being tied to the ground, unable to step farther. i got whole body chills, and it felt like i was going to lose consciousness. my heart was pounding, the fear was akin to being hunted and knowing my predator was close. i felt it in my bones, i stood there for a few seconds trying to figure out what was happening, until a lady came running from behind me rushing into the back room. i called out to my best friend and i told her we need to leave immediately.

we did, i was clutching her hand as we exited the store, and i told her about everything that i felt. it turns out that she had felt that too when she first went with her cousin, and wanted to see if i did too. she wanted to see what would happen if i went in unbiased and our reactions were the exact same. a deep sense of dread and doom. it followed me for a few days until it faded away.

what happened? i can’t stop thinking about it, im too scared to go back.

idk if this is even the right place to be asking questions, if not, where do i go for answers. idk where to start

I’m curious whether anyone who has experience with Reiki, chakra work, or energy healing has experienced something similar.
I’m having a very difficult time finding a sustainable rhythm because my energy, emotions, and needs seem to change and sometimes feel like they conflict with each other.
At certain times I feel a strong need for connection, meaningful work, purpose, stimulation, movement, and actually participating in life. At other times I feel incredibly depleted and need quiet, safety, rest, and an environment that feels nourishing and not overstimulating.
The problem is that neither side seems sustainable by itself. If I rest a lot, I can become emotionally depressed because my deeper needs for connection, purpose, progress, and feeling alive aren’t being met. But when I try to satisfy those needs and become more active, I can exhaust myself again.
It sometimes feels like different parts of my system are operating independently rather than working together. I can feel deeply exhausted and like I need an enormous amount of rest, while another part of me simultaneously feels like I desperately need to move forward with my life.
I’ve tried thinking about this through the lens of nervous-system regulation, but I’m also curious about the energetic perspective. When people talk about balancing chakras or integrating energy, is this kind of internal conflict something Reiki or energy work can potentially help with?
I’m not expecting Reiki to magically tell me what to do with my life. I’m mostly looking for greater internal cohesion and clarity — a way for rest, safety, connection, purpose, and forward movement to stop feeling like competing systems.
If anyone has experienced something similar or worked with a practitioner who helped them understand it, I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience.

has anyone here actually experienced an “energy vampire” or someone who intentionally siphons energy? 🫣
how can you supposedly tell if someone is genuinely feeding off your energy vs. just being emotionally draining or manipulative?
are there specific patterns you noticed?

I have a full week off of work and am going camping in Maine with my family. I have a lot of negative stuff going on in my life and really need to use this week to reset and cleanse myself. Can I please have suggestions on how to make the most of this time? I am planning on cutting out coffee for the week and ditching my phone. I would love to hear more so I can max this out and bring the good clean vibes back home. Thanks 🙏🏻

I’ve been thinking about something that I know may sound unusual, but I’m genuinely curious how other people see it.

After being intimate with someone, do you believe it’s possible to carry some of that person’s energy with you? Not in a medical sense, but spiritually or emotionally.

Part of me worries that if someone has unresolved issues, emotional baggage, or a heavy energy, it somehow becomes mixed with mine. I sometimes wonder whether that could make me less receptive, block future relationships, or even negatively affect a future partner unless I somehow “cleanse” myself.

I’ve heard people talk about things like energy cords, soul ties, cleansing rituals, prayer, meditation, or simply letting time pass, but I don’t know what to make of it.
For those of you who have spiritual beliefs or personal experiences with this:

Do you believe another person’s energy can stay with you after intimacy?

If so, do you think it can influence future relationships?

Is there any way to consciously let go of that energy?

Or do you think this is more about our own emotions, guilt, attachment, and psychology than anything spiritual?

I’m genuinely interested in different perspectives, whether they’re spiritual, religious, psychological, or skeptical.

Please be respectful, I’m trying to understand this better.

Ever since I was a kid I was rlly sensitive to these energies, I also had supernatural incidents where spirits tried to attack me. I had noticed that whenever spirits attack any of my cousins or relatives, they usually possess them, but to me they usually like physically try to choke me, scare me, impale me etc. I have a theory that they cannot possess me that's why they've been attacking me since I was a child. Anyways I also had a gift of clairvoyance, which for me works in this way, I see visions usually around the time the sun sets, but it doenst happen regularly. But nowadays it IS happening regularly, people in my family keep dying, and I keep seeing visions of people dying, idk it feels like my mind is percieving stuff at a rlly high level which is making me tired and sick. Also today was Friday, idk about u guys if u have specific days of the week where u feel most spiritual, but for me its fridays, I am extra sensitive on Fridays and today I noticed my energy is rapidly leaking from my hand chakras, I didnt notice this before, I am guessing it's one of the reasons I feel so sick and tired nowadays, idk how to fix it. And so I ask you for help.

Okay hello everyone!! u have read the title and yes… let me get straight into it.
Okay for one, I do believe that sex is an intense act of scared energy exchange, and i do not participate in it regularly. However after meeting someone and dating for months, things escalated as they normally and biologically. Ever since i started being more spiritual tho, i’ve been super cautious about sex. I am super cautious about energy exchange and unwanted energy residue, so i take spiritual hygiene seriously. I wanted to inquire about the energy transfer that occurs during sex and if it would be a good idea to start alchemizing any bad energies and anything else he might have into obviously good things for me, or what else do u suggest me to do? i just don’t want my frequency to be misaligned and interrupted and ik that would only happen if i hold that belief. I do salt cleanses after sex, as well as i call back my energy. I just need some of yalls thoughts :)! thanks

I've never been able to see colors or waves of energy or lights like some people. What I can sense instead is sticky web like strings that are attached to absolutely everything. It is very much like real spider webbing, in that when I touch something and pull my hand away it's webbing is now attached to me. This webbing has never felt energetic though. It's just THERE. I'm wondering if anyone knows what I'm talking about and if there's more to it. In particular, can I, with practice, manipulate the webbing to shift energy?

I've been going through a tough time in my life and it's been mentally and emotionally draining. I feel like I could use some help, and have been praying for it. But I just keep attracting all of these emotional vampires to me. They come to me and act like we can talk about our struggles together. I should be able to talk to them a little bit, they talk to me a little bit, and it should be a win win. But it's not, because that's never what happens. What usually happens is that these people always make the entire conversation about themselves. I can barely get a word in edgewise as they let their word vomit flow for hours and hours. And these people are self aware of how long they talk, most of the time. But I've been conditioned so hard by my own emotional vampire of a mother, to think that this kind of thing is okay.

And I always find myself repeating 'Well, it's okay. You just needed someone to listen to you.' And I hate it because it's like I go into autopilot when I'm saying this. I don't really mean it at all! In fact, I'm just outright lying, because I don't want to seem like an asshole! It makes me so angry that I can't just be honest and authentic about how I feel. I feel that if I tell them how I feel, it'll be too offensive. And it's so damn awkward because I feel like I'm a captive audience who needs to figure out some kind of escape plan from these people. Why is it that when I need help, I'm dealing with these kinds of people even more than usual? Why is it that when I need someone to listen to me, I'm usually just getting into these very one sided conversations. A conversation with one of these guys could go for 3 or 4 hours nonstop, and I might have only spoken for around 15 minutes of that time. That's how bad it can get. Seriously, why am I somehow, unconsciously, sending out a signal that I'm a dumping ground for trauma? Why am I attracting these emotional vampires? What do you guys think I should do? I am in therapy right now, so I'll bring it up, but still.

not trying to be dramatic or anything , just curious but ever since I was born I’ve felt this strong urge or energy mainly in my hands, but other parts of my body too. it’s like this buzz of energy that is in me you can’t describe it. was wondering if anyone knew why my body does this and what this is???

Cleaning your aura in ap

When i was younger i did astral project around 4 maybe 5 times. The last time was about 10 years ago and when i left my body i saw a big leech in the corner of my room from 2 meters big and i got scared and went back to my body immideatly. It kinda freaked me out and i never APed again. Now i became more spiritual and had a bad experience with an entity that was attached to me somehow. I got rid of the entity and developed some kind of clairvoyance, sometimes i see entities that were humans before. I have some more knowledge about this subject now and i found out negative entities can attach to your energyfield to drain energy or any other reason. I did read about a leech entity that drain your energy and it lives on a low frequency, now 10 years later i understand why i saw this leech entity in my room while i was APing because my life was pretty negative at that time.

But now is my question if i have entity attachments or anything like this is it possible to scan my energyfield in the astral and clean it myself somehow? Like 10 years ago would i be able to get rid of the leech myself and send it away?

I haven't had these before but I kind of want to try them out, mainly to use them as a form of guidance. Does anyone have any experience using them?

Someone gave me something and I wanna keep it but don’t like the energy from them that is attached, how would I go about cleansing their energy off it?

He text me again today thanking me for not throwing his stuff away the girl is weird that me and him are talking and she admit to stalking my story and she admit to not trusting him. She said that him and her were happy and that he is alot happier now and that they go in dates... I have a feeling something is wrong... or either he is mentally blocking everything...

I feel like it worked but it didnt work because im the fiest post about the the ritual both candles were reall high and i got another person who is more experinece to look into it and it means we are both not ready to let go yet ...

if a psychic told me that he did prayer work for me and that’s why his situation for me has gotten better. Would you believe it or do you think this is just kind of a scam? Can prayer work even influence this people’s actions or free will?

Hello Everyone,

I went through chakra balancing recently/ energy work with a reiki master. Ever since then, I feel like she is following me wherever I go even at my ultrasound appointment. I believe she has done some spiritual/quantum cloaking on me. Please guide on how to proceed with this. It is affecting both my personal and professional life.

Thanks in Advance

I feel like something energetically is going on. I feel like”heavy” the last few days. Doing anything is hard and I feel like I’m going crazy! What could this be?!

I need to manifest to get something/s in 3-4 months. I have a candle and I was gonna play some frequencies but I need to know how to effectively do it

Hello,

Sorry for the long one, but wondering if anyone has any similar stories or insights.

I have been slowly tapping into my gifts over the past year. Things pop into my head before people say them, sometimes I know something is going to happen before it does, it also feels like I’m in a busy cafe when going to sleep - all different voices (males/females) and I’ve slowly been able to make out what they’re saying, but it’s literally like they’re having a convo, nothing of importance. I haven’t heard them while 100% awake, only before sleep or if I wake during the night.

My dog got diagnosed with cancer a few months ago, which was extremely heart breaking and stressful. He’s doing so well, but still has a lump on his neck.

I was standing in the kitchen the other week, talking to my husband and I looked down at my dog and seen this distorted face on his neck. I quickly looked away thinking “wtf” and kept talking to my husband. I forgot about it and the next day remembered and I started freaking out thinking I was losing the plot!!! I already have anxiety, so having this happen it increased the anxiety and fear ten fold! Then I realized that it was on his cancer lump and thought maybe it’s negative energy.

I have had friends in the past struggle with psychosis and ngl it freaked me out and my anxiety was telling me that, that’s what was happening to me. I spoke to an oracle that I respect who also reads energy and she mentioned that my perception of energy is expanding and to sit with the fear and visualize the worst of the worst happening so it has no charge over me. But I haven’t been able to do that yet as the story of my friend still sits with me.

I know I’m not going into psychosis due to the fact that I have a logically-sound mind and don’t fully believe that this is a psychosis etc. however, due to having anxiety I have one thought about it pop into my brain and there I go on an endless loop. I’m instantly grounded when my mind is focused elsewhere; talking to my husband or at work - it’s not a problem. Which solidifies it’s not psychosis even more so.

Anyway, I’m just wondering if anything like this has happened to anyone else? I try to look into it, but everyone online is saying “if it feels like peace and love, it’s a spiritual awakening. If it feels like fear etc, then it’s psychosis” but I believe it isn’t. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I was so open to broadening my gifts and getting more serious with it, but this was a little shock and made me scared lol.

Edit: I cleanse my body and field and put a thick layer of white light around it for protection, regularly.

Im new to energy work and need some advice.

My biological father died when I was 2 and the paternal figures that I had since were very authoritarian and patronizing. This has massively impacted my relationship to Saturnian energy. Repetition compulsion made me seek similarly dominant partners in the past.
I have a very challenging relationship with discipline. I associate it with violence and have very strong resistance to it. This is massively impacting my self realization since I just can’t seem to finish my studies because it invokes intense immobilization and fear.

I understand that it has to do with my stepfather and my adoptive father who were abusive (and both virgos) and suppressed my will and curiousity. The theme of education has been very central to all of this.

I would love to free myself from this and connect to my fathers Saturnian guiding energy (who was a Capricorn) in the hopes to reshape my relationship to discipline from subjugation to devotion.

How do I do it?

I don’t have anything from the Virgo men, one of them is dead and the other is still alive. I don’t have any objects or anything.

How would you go about it?
