Depressed looking young woman for signs of negative energy in a personDon’t worry. This happens more than you’d think. To figure it out, look for these key signs of negative energy in a person.

What Is Negative Energy

Energy is everywhere. It’s just a part of life. In fact, life-force energy is what gives us life. And, we need that.

Still, energy can be negative too. But often what’s considered negative is relative. For example, you might get a bad vibe from someone, while your friend feels good about him. This can be true of places too. Some people feel cemeteries are creepy and negative, while others feel they’re soulful and peaceful.

Duration can also create increasing negativity or toxicity. For short periods of time, an imbalance can be tolerable and even desirable. But, if it persists, at some point it can become too much and toxic. Loud music can animate and ultimately oppress.

Then there’s intensity. Romantic crushes sometimes follow this pattern. The new beau is attentive and delightful. But, in time he becomes controlling or clingy. Either way, the original flush of positivity quickly fades.

In general, energy is perceived as negative if it pushes you out of balance, keeps you off balance, and/or depletes or debilitates you. Sometimes when you sense that something is off or wrong can be a sign as well, especially if you can’t explain it.
