Last night I went with my partner to visit his elderly mother in her rest home. We took along her toy poodle, Sammy, who we now look after. She was in such a crabby, negative, critical mood that by the time we left we both felt utterly drained to the core. I felt it starting to happen during the visit and did my "energy projection" thing, but she just vacuumed that up in a trice. After we left I noticed that Sammy the dog was also hanging his head down. I said to my partner: "Look! She's even managed to suck all of the joy out of Sammy!". To be fair, she isn't always like this and she has had a terrible year healthwise, culiminating in her moving to the rest home. But when she's in a bad mood, her energy-sucking powers rival that of Count Dracula himself! I think she is an ISFJ, by the way.

I'd have to agree with CaptainChick. I just feel so uncomfortable when other people project out their negative vibes, and as a result I mostly tend to withdraw within myself more. Warm, happy vibes definitely allow me more freedom to be myself, which can be a great boost on a rather poor day.

No need to talk about facts. Facts are facts.

Negative events...? I don't remember any negative events that didn't include other people. Do you mean like... I walk down the street, fall down and break my leg? I would feel a bit angry to myself to be so clumsy, but I would accept the fact that I have a cast now for a month and get on with it.

Those things do create massive amounts of so-called "negative energy", but deliberately created disasters are worse. When I visited Ground Zero in New York a few years ago the air palpably shimmered with the power of what had occurred there. I could only stand it for a brief period before I had to escape.

Negative events really have no impact on me unless its directly related to me (as in a family member dying).
I remember acting entirely normal during the entire 9/11 frenzy. But you put me near someone who antagonizes against a good group laugh and tries to steal the conversation for purposes of subjects nobody's interested in just for their own self-benefit of things THEY want to talk about with little regard of others, and I'm deeply furious.
