You came home hollowed out. You sat down at your kitchen table, opened your laptop, and typed like your life depended on it. What you found changed everything.

Emotional vampires are not the villain you can spot across the room. They are regular people living regular lives right around you -- and you will not see them coming. You will feel them. This episode breaks down the three types draining you right now: the Slow Drain, the Crisis Vortex, and the Guilt Feeder. But it goes further than the list. It goes into the long game -- what decades of exposure actually does to a person, how the drain starts before you are old enough to know you are being drained, and why you kept showing up to a bank that was empty the whole damn time.

Not a guide. Not advice. Just the truth, finally named.
