Remove toxic people from your life and tell them - no!
If you've ever been in a room with a negative person, you know how tangible their emotions are. You can feel her negative energy directed at you and it's getting harder and harder to maintain a good mood.
Learn how to defend yourself against this type of toxic energy.
Stop fulfilling other people's demands
If someone complains about you, gossips about you, or treats you with disrespect, don't take it personally and don't focus on getting that person to love you. This will only drag you deeper into their negative field. In this way, you can become energetically and emotionally dependent on their opinion. Accept the fact that not everyone is going to love you - and that's okay! Everyone has a different personality and opinions on what they like and don't like. All this creates different life experiences for each individual. Show love to yourself first and that love will act as a protective field around you, preventing the opinions of others from wearing you down.
Learn when to say NO
If someone came into your house, would you allow them to go across the porch and bring mud onto the carpet? Would you ask him to clean his shoes before entering your personal space? If you are kind and have a big heart, this is a nice trait. But you have to be careful not to be taken advantage of. Don't allow negative people or emotional vampires to inhabit you to destroy your goodness. Set boundaries and respect them! This is your life. Your body, space and time are your sacred temples, so think carefully about what kind of people you allow access to them. There is nothing wrong with saying NO as often as you feel is necessary. Set clear standards of what you expect from others before giving them a place in your life.

Don't feed the beast in others
Emotional vampires are personalities who literally feed off your attention and love until they drain you completely. Your emotional investment in these people may initially satisfy you, but in the end, you will be drained of energy and their problems will still be unresolved. Their desire for your love will never stop, especially if they are determined to make themselves feel like victims.
Pay attention when their cries for help sound more and more like cries for attention. The more attention you offer them, the more distant the solution will be. You can offer support to those who really need it. It's not your responsibility to solve other people's problems, especially if people don't really want those problems solved in the first place. It's healthy to know when to walk away! When you feel like you can't take it anymore, offer compassion and walk away from the situation. There is nothing wrong with not wanting to participate in someone else's drama.
Get back to nature
Sometimes you really need a break from everyone and everything. From other people's energies. Their chaotic energies are hard to banish, so take a weekend, an afternoon, or even an hour to yourself and go somewhere quiet. Allow the sounds of nature to replace your mind full of the noise of the modern world. Notice the simplicity of the natural world, the absence of hidden motives, the coexistence of all things, plants, animals and earth. Breathe deeply and meditate. Focus on filling your body with fresh oxygen and lifting your spirit so that you feel refreshed and less susceptible to absorbing negativity when you return to your daily duties.

Remember who is responsible for you
You are the only one who has the right to say how you feel. You are responsible for what affects your thoughts and emotions. And if a part of your happiness is out of balance, you have a chance to fix it. Your perception of yourself is more powerful than others unless you choose to replace your power with the power of another person. The moment you decide to accept responsibility for your feelings, you free yourself from the influence of others. When you're sure of who you are and how you want to feel, it's much harder for others to throw you off balance.
Make a conscious choice and take control of the positive in your life. Choose situations that increase your energy and stick with company that adds to who you are. Love yourself enough to say NO where warranted. Leave an environment that will not benefit you. Remember that you are responsible for your life experiences!
