Parasites

A Parasite is an organism which lives in a close relationship with another organism, its host, pretending to be useful but eventually causes the host harm. A parasite is dependent on its host for its survival.

Did you know that people can be parasites too? Parasitic people are those who habitually take advantage of others without making any useful return. They attach themselves to you, ostensibly pretending to do you good but all the time draining you of your life force.

How do you identify such people? These people have a way with words. They tell you that they cannot live without you and incase they do anything bad, it was only because they meant well. They did it for you. They pretend that they are doing whatever they can for your benefit but the reality is something else. They do it only for themselves. They know that without you they will just fade away. They pretend to be doing everything for your good but in reality its only for their own good. The sad part is they are aware of what they are doing but still continue to do so.

You will find these type of people in your personal and professional lives. Ever notice how some people always seem to leave you worse off, no matter what you do? Interacting with these people someone somehow seems to drain you. It may be the way they talk or behave. These people simply feed off your energy to fill their own.

In professional life, have you ever had a boss or colleague who does the same? He will boost you up, get good work done from you and in the end will take credit for all your work. Ever happened? When you confront them, they will sincerely apologise that it just happened and they did not mean it. They did it for your good only and next time they will make sure you get the credit. However these are just words, you know it never happens. Next time again they will do the same because that's the way they get their energy, their value.

These people will try to find your weaknesses and will exploit them for their own benefit. They will manipulate you in any way possible, just to fulfill their needs. If they want something, they will not hesitate to lie, deceit and manipulate you.

These kind of people drain your energy to fill their own. They literally feed off you. The more you allow them to do this, the stronger and bolder will they get. Ultimately you will be left a shadow of your former self.

Beware of parasitic people. They will destroy you in the end.
