Very good. And this sentence, 'Historically, the hallmark of gentlemen and ladies was subdued speech, restrained behavior, and elegant yet inconspicuous attire' tallies very much with what I just wrote in my latest post. The problem is when these energy vampires are inescapable--colleagues at work or family members, for instance. But otherwise I think your strategies work.
I'll read your post about ladies and gentlemen, I really enjoy your writing.
You are right about energy vampires. When they are unavoidable, like family members or colleagues, we face a difficult decision. We can either let them drain our energy, saying goodbye to those energy reserves and finding a way to replenish our energy as soon as possible, or we decide that our energy is more valuable to us than their company. This involves facing the conflicts that may arise if we confront them and choose to cut ties. It is indeed a hard decision, requiring us to examine our true feelings and assess the situations individually before deciding what to do.
