One of the clearest signs you’re dealing with an energy vampire is their complete disregard for respect or healthy boundaries—especially emotional ones. Unlike typical draining people who may simply overshare or talk too much, energy vampires ignore even the most basic social or common-sense boundaries. They’ll pry into your personal life, your relationships, asking invasive, disrespectful, or inappropriate questions masked as "concern" or “curiosity. They often assume access to your time, energy, or space without asking or being respectful or considerate.
