What Is Negative Energy And How Does It Affect You?

Negative energy is usually the low vibe or bad feeling you can sense from a person(or a place) who has been stuck in their own negative emotions and thoughts for some time.

They are in a relatively lower vibrational frequency with the absence of positive energy.

They might have been dwelling on thoughts and experiences that evoke feelings of frustration, disappointment, anxiety, anger, hatred, jealousy, insecurity, unworthiness, fear, or grief. (See the full Emotional Scale here)

It can also be described as the energy that makes you feel bad or uncomfortable.

It can come from people, situations or even your own thoughts.

Negative energy affects you in different ways, such as:

  • It drains your energy and leaves you feeling depleted.
  • It affects your mood and makes you feel down or anxious.
  • It affects your health and can lead to physical symptoms.
  • It affects your relationships and can make them strained or difficult.
  • It hinders and lowers your vibrational frequency for manifestation.

Negative energy can be contagious, and if you are around it for a long time, you may start to emit it as well.

It is important to be aware of the signs of negative energy in a person so that you can protect yourself from it.

9 Signs Of Negative Energy In A Person

1. They Are Judgmental And Complain A Lot

People who emit negative energy tend to be judgmental and critical of others.

They complain a lot and focus on the negative aspects of life.

They tend to see the glass as half empty rather than half full.

Negative people tend to have a critical view of the world and the people in it.

They may constantly complain about their circumstances…

… their jobs, their relationships, their parents, their life…

You name it.

This pessimistic outlook can be draining for those around them.

2. They Are Impatient And Get Irritated Easily

Negative people tend to be impatient and get irritated easily.

They may have a low tolerance for frustration and may become easily irritated or angry.

Sometimes they are just mad at themselves…

But occasionally, they may snap at others or become argumentative over minor issues, which can create tension and conflict in their relationships.

They have a short fuse and can be difficult to be around.

3. They Are Always In Some Kind Of Argument

Negative people tend to be argumentative and confrontational.

They appear to always have the need to defend their ‘righteousness’.

And very often, they may pick fights with others if they ‘think’ someone has stepped in their territories.

The reason that they seem to thrive on conflict is because it makes them(and their egos) feel alive.

At the end of the day…

…They just need to win every fight.

Their ‘love’ of stirring up troubles or creating chaos, make them really difficult to be around.

4. They Need To Control Every Little Thing

Negative people tend to be controlling and micromanage everything.

They may have a hard time delegating tasks or trusting others to do things.

Or even worse…

… They require you to be or behave exactly what they expect on every single thing.

They need to be in control of every little thing, which can be exhausting for others.

This can create tension in their relationships and cause others to feel micromanaged or stifled.

5. They Love Dramas

Negative people tend to love dramas and thrive on them.

They definitely enjoy gossiping or spreading rumors to create even more dramas.

Sometimes, they may pretend it as exchanging information or secrets as a means to socializing.

It’s just another way to feed their ego.

And the worst part?

They may even try to create it or seek it out in their relationships or work.

6. They Are Living In The Past

Negative people tend to dwell on the past and may have a hard time moving on from their past.

They may hold grudges or have a victim mentality that keeps them stuck in the past…

…or they may always compare what was better in the old days and are reluctant to appreciate what they have now.

This usually keeps them stuck in negative patterns of thinking and behavior.

They may struggle to move on from past experiences, which can impact their relationships and overall sense of well-being.

7. Accidents Seem To Happen To Them Frequently

Negative people tend to attract negative energy, which can manifest in accidents or mishaps.

They may have a lot of bad luck or seem to be accident-prone.

The funny thing is…

… They would keep reassuring themselves that they are the most unlucky person in the world.

Guess what?

This way of thinking keeps attracting all the bad things to them. (By the Law of Attraction)

They may also have a habit of making poor decisions or engaging in risky behavior, which can increase their likelihood of experiencing accidents or other negative outcomes.

8. Financial or Relationship Problems Are A Part Of Their Life

Negative people tend to have a lot of problems in their lives, such as financial or relationship problems.

They may struggle to keep a job, pay their bills or maintain healthy relationships.

More importantly…

… They would always say:

“It’s not my fault.”

Sounds familiar, right? {grin}

They have a tendency to blame others for their problems or engage in self-sabotaging behaviors, which create more negative outcomes in their lives.

9. They Usually Have Chronic Health Issues

Long-held negative energy can manifest in physical symptoms in a body, such as chronic headaches, stomachaches, back pain, arthritis or some sort of immune system malfunction.

Negative people may have a lot of stress-related illnesses or chronic pain as a result of accumulating lots of negative emotions for a long period of time.

And this accumulation of negative energy will eventually be reflected in their bodies as physical symptoms, such as chronic health issues.

It might also happen that they have tinnitus issues, especially on their left ear.

As ringing in the left ear is a sign of energy imbalance.

Negative people may experience high levels of stress.

If they don’t have a proper way to release those stresses regularly, it can impact their immune system and increase their risk of developing health problems over time.
