So one day  I heard someone say #ByeFelicia, with keeping that in mind Emotional vampires are lurking everywhere and wear many different disguises–from needy relatives to workplace bullies.

According to  Ice Cube , who starred in the film and co-wrote its script, "Bye, Felicia" is "the phrase 'to get anyone out of your face.'" [ 1 ] You can’t live a positive life around negative people.
