🌙 5 Signs You’re Absorbing Other People’s Energy (and How to Stop)

Protect Your Peace, Stay Grounded, and Keep Your Vibe Yours

Energy Isn’t Just Physical — It’s Emotional

Ever walk into a room and instantly feel tense, even though no one’s said a word? Or finish a convo and suddenly feel tired, even though you were fine before?

That’s energy absorption — when your emotional field picks up what others put down. And if you don’t know how to manage it, your energy starts feeling like everyone else’s.

But the good news? You can train yourself to stay balanced, even in emotionally heavy spaces.

1️⃣ You Feel Emotionally Drained After Interactions

If hanging out leaves you feeling exhausted, even when nothing dramatic happens, you’re probably carrying emotions that aren’t yours.

💡 Tip: Visualize a soft glow around you before social settings. It helps your brain and body set an invisible boundary.

2️⃣ Your Mood Changes to Match the Room

If your emotions fluctuate wildly based on who you’re around — excited with some, drained with others — your empathy might be on overdrive.

It’s okay to care deeply, but you don’t need to carry others’ emotions to show compassion.

🔮 Practice: Say silently, “I see their energy, but I release it.”

3️⃣ You Absorb Online Energy Too

Yep — it’s not just face-to-face. Negative posts, arguments, or sad stories can subtly lower your frequency.

Limit your “emotional scroll time.” Replace doom-scrolling with light content or creative inspiration.

4️⃣ You Struggle to Say No (Even When You’re Overwhelmed)

People who absorb energy often overcommit — emotionally or socially. You want to help everyone, but your bandwidth has limits.

Boundaries aren’t walls — they’re filters. They let in what nourishes you and keep out what depletes you.

🪷 Pozee tip: Use a daily grounding ritual — journal, stretch, or meditate for 5 minutes before replying to new requests or DMs.

5️⃣ You Feel Responsible for Other People’s Happiness

Empaths often feel like they need to fix everyone’s problems — but that’s a fast track to burnout.

Your responsibility ends where your peace begins. You can love people deeply without losing yourself.

💫 Repeat this affirmation:

🌸 How to Reclaim Your Energy
