| Yes. Trust your instincts. I felt the opposite as well, one time I ran into someone who had the most beautiful energy I just wanted to be near them. It has stuck with me all these years. This was random in a supermarket! |
| I’m an intuitive and a medium, so yes. I get those feelings all the time. Usually good. Sometimes not. Always listen to your intuition, OP. If you’re feeling darkness, avoid him. Sadness feels like sadness. An uncomfortable darkness or feeling of fear is your cue to stay away. |

Yes. With a woman at a conference. I think I wa sank it to have lunch with her friend—not her boyfriend. He was gay. We’d been friends but she seemed to be jealous. She was more successful in her field but she may not have liked I was friends with her friend. Her friend later stopped speaking to me so I assume she told him something bad about me and that he believed it.
She was an energy vampire and seemed stuck in adolescent thinking even though she’s a talent in our field. I bumped into her years later at the same conference and gave her directions to something. I didn’t get the vibe then. But I remember that dark energy and felt it. |
Op here. It's definitely not sadness. It's dark and likes heaviness. Just a very bizarre shift in energy. |
| I felt it once in a guy who was murdered the next day. |
| Chiming in to say listen to your gut. Like a PP, I'm a skeptic and atheist. Yet, I listen to my gut on this type of thing. I don't often get feelings like you describe but have always regretted when I ignored them. |
| One time when I was in college, a relative dragged me to some kind of political meeting. There was an indescribable dark feeling so thick I could feel it in the air. Like evil coursing through the room. We arrived when the speaker had already started. His eyes looked possessed as did everyone else’s in the room. I walked out after 10 minutes and inhaled the fresh air outside like I was oxygen deprived. Later on, I looked up the group, and it was some sort of neo-Nazi organization. And I’m a POC if that matters. |
Stay away from him. That shift you feel is millions of years of instinct and intuition. Everyone on this planet is born psychic. Most people just stop paying attention at some point. |
100% agree. |
Do you get this feeling from places? I was looking at houses and there was one house that gave off a very dark vibe. |

Sorry to derail but I have a question for the intuitive/medium (if you don’t mind). So, I think I have some “something” in this area but don’t know how to cultivate it or even if it’s worth it or would have any utility. I know when someone is thinking about me, or just before they text me. I also walk around with a heaviness sometimes that signals to me that someone is sort of sending me hateful energy, and I typically get confirmation shortly afterward. That energy feels so bad to me that I bend over backwards to establish a positive relationship with that person, but that tends to backfire. I want to learn how to live with that dark energy without feeling the desire to fix it. So I guess it’s two questions. First, what can I do to cultivate that intuitive piece of me that’s potentially useful, and how can I manage negativity when I sense it? I suspect someone else would be blissfully ignorant that someone wishes them a bad outcome. |
Yes, if you want less of a "spiritual" perspective on it, think of it this way: He's an outlier. Your unconscious mind is always working, scanning and making assessments. You are noticing him because he in part, does fit not a pattern and it is unsettling. You don't have the conscious data points but he lies outside most people you have met, your mind senses this, and combined with the elicited feeling you felt (or he creates in people) I agree, stay away. |
| This thread is fascinating. I agree we all need to trust our gut far more. |
OP here. I don't interact with him now, our exchanges have largely been in passing. I haven't always felt a darkness about him. When I initially met him I was I guess you could say attracted to him in some way or at least drawn to him, but nothing significant or different from other people. The one and only time I have actually talked to him it was strange, not on a surface level, on the surface it was a fairly normal exchange of people being introduced, but the energy underneath was weird. I had mostly forgotten all about this because as I said we don't interact that much at all, That changed about a month ago when I felt inexplicably drawn to him which were almost like nonsensical feelings of attraction. We had one other exchange between then and now which he attempted to make me laugh and I didn't. Which I think shocked him. As I said before other people describe him as nice, and he's generally well-liked. I feel like he gets by on a lot of charm and his niceness may all be superficial. I have felt that with other people, but never have I felt anything really dark about them. I have been in situations where, my gut said this isn't the safest situation and you need to get out now or end things with this person now, and I have most always heeded that. This is not that feeling. It's heavier. It's darker, but it does not stay away now. I don't know if that makes sense. It's also only developed within the last week. The strongest being the other day when he came into the room, and I instinctively knew it was him, with just how the energy changed, and then once he was gone things were light again. And then again today when he passed by my area on his way out, the dark feeling, but much less than the other day, but again completely gone once he was passed. I'm not sure if the change in intensity is related to his direction leaving vs entering. I don't know it was just very unsettling. I won'r be trying to engage with him, and will keep out interactions to what they are now.. |
