Psychic Vampires

Have we ever had a thread about this? They are people who drain the living crap out of you and leave you feeling depressed, fatigued, and having nightmares. I not only think that I have been around these people but it came to a point where I felt like I had become one.

I hope someone else really wants to discuss this besides me.

I've come to believe there are people who fit that description. And that there are ways of not allowing them to draw far too much out of an individual.

yes. i think folks can go through phases when they go into this negative, downer mode, and can come out again later. some folks get stuck there though

I never understood it as only something depressed people can do. Even though I do believe we all can feed off of each others energy.

Yup dealt with one too many, and was one for a long time, but have come a long way, cause it's no way to live. I don't know how some can be so unhappy with themselves that they want to ruin it for others who are able to come out of it or are trying. I guess that's what happens when misery loves company and you want the toxicity to keep going, but enough is enough!

Seems there are different kinds. But I believe there are those that can draw the life force out of another, almost stealthy. You seem to age faster being around them. But there are the energy and emotional ones that can exhaust you.

Everybody draws energy from others, it's about what kind of energy they give back. Some just draw endlessly barely giving anything useful back. Others can draw a lot but also give off a very powerful substaining type energy, I wouldn't call that vampiric, that's symbiotic.

I have a bunch of friends who need my time and ear every now and then and I listen to them and try to help them the best way I can but I also know when to draw the line when psychic vampires, for instance negative colleagues at work, go on and on and on with their negativity and problems. I just avoid them or try to be nice, but let them know that I´m too busy to listen to their shit.

Other than that, I avoid a lot of people I dislike or discussions or threads they start, especially here on the org (in P&R and in general) and on Facebook.

yes, you are right.

Mine comes in waves of give and take, ultimately there is balance, but it doesn't always feel that way

Hopefully I can be honest here. When I had my daughter in 2002 I broke up with my boyfriend within a month. It was obvious that he was not ready to deal with his addictions. I had had a job, no make that 2 jobs before giving birth to her. I also worked about 6 hrs the day before she was born (which also happened to be her due date). Anyway I moved back to Massachusetts which meant leaving both of my jobs as well as my boyfriend.

I moved in with my sister and her female roomate of 27 years whom she says is "just a friend". I breast fed, they were against it. Basically every thing I did they critisized. I wanted to move out but had no job and the only other choice for a long time was a housing project. I was on Welfare. Anyway I kept getting fatter and fatter. They kept telling me how crazy and off the wall and wrong etc I was. I was afraid of moving out of there and truly being on my own with no one. Unfortunately I stayed.

It was bad followed by worse. All I know now is that I wish I understood then what I get now. The critisism, guilt tripping etc. The constant complaining about everybody and everything. I was so scared of being on my own with a baby. My home town was a place that has no public transportation after 8pm.

Anyway the end result was horrible.

Do you still have any contact with them? In person? On the phone?

I read somewhere that in those shitty Twilight movie series, the vampires walk around in daylight, don't drink blood, and see their reflections in the mirror.

Which means they aren't vampires at all, just emo goth kids.

Psychopaths are psychic vampires amongst other things but not all psychic vampires are psychopaths.
Many people who drain/feed off other people's energy/Chi are not consciously aware that that is actually what they are doing.

They have custody of my daughter. I left the state we were all in because I had gained over 70lbs, was borderline diabetic, sleeping all the time and had high blood pressure and sleep apnea. I was just a lathargic ball of fat and I felt that I was exactly the type of mother to my daughter that I never wanted to be. I was the mother that basically just sat on the sidelines.

I decided I needed to get away and get my own act together. I wasn't set up with a job out of state so I moved into a house with my friend from Atlanta who had inheritted his parents home in Pensacola. I did not bring my daughter because she did not want to go. Also, the public schools in that area are horrible and the child had already had to repeat a grade.

Will be continued!

It really is.

It is a name for people that completely pull you down.

They are the people that whenever you are around them you walk away feeling completely drained of energy. Sometime feel like they always leave you with a headache or needing to take a nap.

I'm sorry, they sound like dangerous people who have caused you much harm.
If you have to have contact with them or their sort again there are some basic defense (& cleansing) techniques that have helped me in the past.
Org note me if you ever need them xxx

Obviously the best defense is whenever possible no contact whatsoever.

You, there was this lady I used to work with. she glomed onto me like the suckers on a octopus tentacle. always talking about her problems. I mean she was recalling stuff that had happened to her from years back always stories about people who wronged her.
our job allowed us time to talk as we did our task and duties, and it was all about her and her negative past. I mean when the work day was over, I'd feel drained and most often went home with a horrific headache.
finally i told her she'd have to give me space and to please not talk to me about her personnel life issues. however she continued daily to do so.
the breaking point came when I had to rudely tell her she should seek professional help and to just stop talking to me unless it was job related. after that she blew it by being late for work too often and she was fired.
the lady had a way of sucking and draining my energy, it was scary. that was my first and last encounter with a psychic vampire. now I can see that personality type from a mile off.

nod That's what I'm telling iaminpanties.

I know what you mean about these vampires. Lately I've found that I don't let others get me drained as I used to be. I think it's the way I see things now, at the time of their verbal rampages, in my mind I just think about how messed up they are and no matter what they say I'm just gonna proceed to do what I'm going to do and not even take their 'advice' to heart. And walk away. Sometimes I even say things out loud like, 'wow, you're so messed up' or something like that. Too tired to take their garbage anymore.


Here, this might help lol :
