					<description><![CDATA[I pretend I’m down or sad when having to deal with so many of them while working or in general. I like to reserve my energy for people, places and things I am happy to be around. 

If they think you are down, depressed, sad or that their tactics are working, they will gain the false sense of superiority of the situation and look for another victim. I don’t even give things that I know is draining my energy or the effort. I’m emotionally and energetically disconnected while still getting my work done. 

Once I’m logged off, it’s like a flip of the energy switch. I’m back to feeling energized, happy and refreshed because I did not allow a toxic environment to suck the life out of me. Learn how to control what your energy goes to. 

Let them throw a fake party about how they think they won and keep thriving without validation. These type of people like to run in groups. Especially, if they feel threatened by you. Luckily, you have nothing to prove to people like this. 

Some will get so cocky with their tactics, they will keep attacking you, even if you flip the energetic switch off. They are so high off themselves, they don’t even realize they’re not being fed your energy. If they continue, take the proper steps to take legal action. Especially if it turns to harassment, defamation of character, prejudicing, unethical treatment etc. What an excellent article!]]></description>
