		<description>well,since my childhood i always knew one thing,that most of the leeches die when you sprinkle salt on them.
this morning,i found a really creepy leech which had a head which appeared to be like a hammerhead shark&#039;s head....and i took out some common salt from my kitchen and spinkled on it..within 2 seconds,it DIED!
yeah ,COMMON salt is your weapon .:)</description>

		<description>Nice one on emotional leeches. For a long time I seemed to attract many leeches (or energy vamps, as I call them) to me. Then I finally knew why: I was one too. Takes one to attract one. Leeches of the same oral suckers flock together. There are more than one type of energy vamps or emotional leeches. They really do come in many guises. I identified ten here, and how to deal with them: http://www.soulstudioonline.com/2008/11/energy-vampires-part-1-truth-about.html</description>

		<description>My boss is an emotional leech.  I sincerely think that the main reason I was hired was to share this office with her (with one cubicle divider) so that I could be the constant, captive audience to her continuous complaining and negativity.  Sometimes, I feel like nasty, living black goop (like in Spiderman 3) is growing all over me and I can feel the negativity taking me over like a bad rash.  I am not quite sure how to deal with it.  I try to appear very busy when she wants to &quot;chat&quot; but it doesn&#039;t work.  She will plop down in the chair next to my desk and start complaining about every aspect of our job, the weather, her drapes at home, or anything else she can think of.   I am normally an upbeat, positive person and after 6 months on the job, she is beginning to drag me down considerably and even affect my personal life.

Any advice for me on how to deal with her?</description>

		<description>@ Chris: I sincerely doubt that you&#039;re a leech, as most leeches won&#039;t read about their leechy ways.  Or if they do, they&#039;ll rationalize their leechy behavior and blame it on someone else.

If, on the odd chance, you are a leech, make one small change a day to remove yourself from your hosts.  The easiest way: find small things that provide value to them.

Thanks for the comment!  I hope to hear from you in the future.</description>

		<description>Ah darn it. According to your points you made, that makes me an emotional leech (I&#039;m guessing it makes me a leech for the other two as well.) That&#039;s a right bummer as I never realised.

Well it&#039;s a cool and well written post.</description>
