When you vent about your problems to others, you plant negative images in their minds. Those people then project that perception back onto you, which can drain your energy if you internalize their judgment.
Chapters
When you vent or complain to other people, one thing that happens is when other people are receiving the vent or the thing that you may be complaining about, they are then holding a negative image of your problems in their mind. So what happens is the next time you see them, they may remember the problems that you have, whether it's subconscious or conscious. And even when you're not seeing them, they may have that image in their mind of you, holding you in a pattern of that. Now, of course, you're not a leaf in the wind and submissive to that pattern to where it has to affect you completely, but because we're all connected into a collective consciousness and we have a field of energy around our body, what happens is that field of energy around our body is influenced by our own energy first and foremost, but secondly, the thoughts and the energy of the people around us, especially if we internalize what people say or think. But then also on that, other people's images, projections, expectations, etc., can affect our energy if we let it, especially.
