It's not them; it's you.
It's your choice if you want to give away your energy to others, and to believe they are "sucking" something out of you. And if you really want to develop personal power, move to being at cause, and let go of living at effect. You have the capacity for having limitless power, regardless of who is in the room (festival, family function), regardless of what they're thinking, doing, or saying; regardless of how they are oriented.
Choosing to avoid people is valid, but it's weak. It's choosing to live at effect. It's a great tool to use if you're in imminent danger, but it's pretty wimpy and lame as a general lifestyle.
You don't have to, of course, but if you want to, you can choose to be a limitless source of energy, not only for yourself, but for others as well. When you are being a limitless source of energy, you cannot be depleted or diminished.
