Question:
Do demons have any control over us? How do we avoid them?
Answer:
Hello,
Nowadays, we don’t concern ourselves with the topic of demons, except for certain halachos that are specifically written regarding a ruach ra or ruach tuma, such as washing our hands three times in the morning after exiting the bathroom. Otherwise, we are told that nowadays we are not concerned with them (one of the reasons given is that we are not on the spiritual level to be affected by them).
We have a mitzva to go with Hashem with temimus, and Hashem will protect us. As a side point, reading fiction novels that talk about these things can just make you scared for nothing.
Best wishes
