How many of you here would consider yourself one form or another of a psy vamp? If so, what do you find yourself feeding off of the most frequently : Other's emotions(be them good or bad), psychic energies, auras, or something else?
I guess if I was to call myself a Psy Vamp, I would say that I feed off of other people's emotions...It makes me content anyway to know that I visibly made someone mad or happy...
from what i know about myself, i feed off of emotions and sometimes life force, what some would call the aura or the soul
as for myself i find myself feeding off of emotion.i don't do it on propose i get mad when i find myself in that predicament.
I often react to strong emotions. Anger makes me feel angry, and depression or extreme sadness does the same. Not so much with happiness though..
i dont like feeding off the emotions.i cant walk into a room with out almost going crazy from all the people.i prefer blood.but i have to stick with emotion until i can tell my mother whats going on.
happy emotions make me mad.i like it when someone is angry,but after a while i get to....ummm full i guess to want to be around them.
Psy vamps are the easiest to be lurking the streets, since they can take off of any energy source and no one would know a thing about it....Sanguins on the other hand have a hard task at hand trying to get mundanes to accept the fact of getting blood drawn out of them....
I tend to automatically start feeding off of energy from everyone when I'm in a big crowd, taking a little energy from a bunch of people to get my fill without the individual feeling the side effects, like tiredness, hunger, etc.
I find that I tend to feed off of people giving me a lot of attention, like when there are a bunch of people 'all over me' I guess..
I'm both psy and sanguine. But I've been a psy much longer and it varies according to my needs. I've sought out crowds to feed on. At sporting events I've tapped into the emotions of others. At other times, I've sought out those who are weak and drawn from their aura.
I prefer to harm no one so mostly I've taken energy from a strong storm or cold front.
Blessed Be
Nowadays, I can't even tell if I'm a psy or not. What I concentrate on mostly is my other spiritual pursuits. When I feed, it's usually from a crowd at a concert, since the energy is wonderful. Oftentimes, I just let my aura absorb on its own from the environment. It's handy, and I don't have to spend time searching for a good feed.
I have fed off of concerts before....and practically jumped off the walls with all the energy I took....I am both Sanguin and Psy....but I do prefer Sanguin. It just lasts longer for me.....
Understandable, since a sanguine feeding is much more productive than a psy feeding. Energy is incredibly concentrated in blood.
If I had to give an answer I'd say emotions but I think there are other things too at times but they are less noticeable.
Emotions, I've found, are unreliable at times, unless your energy system can process many kinds of emotion. I, personally, don't process many different emotions very well, so I have trouble feeding on emotion most of the time.
I am empathic......so I sense emotions all the time but dont feed off of them....I feed off of excitement though......thats where large crowds come into play for me...Blood just tastes so good for me though....and yes it is very concentrated. I found though that vampire blood is more concentrated then mundane blood...
I'm interested to find out if a vampire's blood is still more concentrated with energy when the vampire in question is low on energy...
emotion and simple intensity, I thrive when the poeple around me are emotionally active , either good or bad
its not so much low in energy as vampire blood is more concentrated....especially if your soul has been around awhile....I know I have reincarnated a few times since I have seen my visions in full view....and not all are very pretty....

I am both psy and sanguine, like a lot of people. However, when it comes to taking in the needed energy, when not absorbing it from the blood, I will feed directly off a person's aura, their life force. However, to avoid taking in too much form any one person, I try to stick to large crowds. Concerts, like stated previously by a few, are good for this, as are sporting events and other things where there's some excitment and more then enough people. I do try my best not to take in from only one person, for the harm it could cause them. I'd rather not have that on my conscience.
I'd imagine everyone has a few bad memories stored away. Most people have bad lives at some point in their past life history. I'm more fond of positive memories, of course.
As for feeding on strong emotion, I've found that I can't deal with negative emotion, especially if someone is arguing. The tension gets so great that I just have to leave the room before I get physically ill...
Oh negative energy is not a good one to take from....I have had people around me have negative energy and it drains what I have just to keep my positive energy going if they are negative around me...
I would say I feed off of the psychie and weaken Auras.
well thats much better then negative energy....I usually have to shield myself even more when I am around that.....
how do you feed off of negative energy?.....my gf can do the same thing...she smells fear and loves the energy it brings....me...I care not.
It's unwise to feed off of fear, because drawing it out over a period of time can drive the victim to madness...
Well, I have read the discussion. And we are all so unique. This is a great way to help each other understand how we actually are on a whole.
I myself am a true Empath and have had to learn through alot of self disapline how to keep myself from letting others emotions envelope me. With that in mind, I find it much more satisfing to draw my energy from the earth and more...Such as lunar. It has so much energy at the peak of a full moon its amazing and wonderful...And If you could just sit and take in a storm, it would be like a flood crashing into a dam and forcing it open......I personally would only feed or draw from a person who I know and that was completely positive....To feed on negitive would probly make me stir crazy and gives me headaches. Don't get me wrong though, a little strait pure life fluid is always wonderfully yummy.....Be safe everyone ~ Crystal
That is why i found the VR I was looking for others that had this. i need to learn more about it. Who do i talk too?
My thing about Psy Vampires is, I do believe in them, because I can say from experience what it's like to be fed off of by one. I'm not one however.
I am also a sang/psy mix, but in the past year, sang feedings have been few and far betweem, rare, after being pregnant and being careful, and too busy to take time to sit and bleed with the hubby (tho he always gets lucky on mine when i have an accident- which happens more when i've fed less).
So I've taken more to feeding psy- as I was telling AliryaVrykul the other day.
I can feed off negative energy, but it brings me down after a while.....like I mirror it, and thats bad. Happy bouncy energy makes me mirror as well...I get all fast-talking, and act silly.
I absolutely love to feed off lightning storms, ahhh, say monsoon season in the Phoenix desert...wow. The moon does it too, yeah while full...but then I also have Therian in me, and that adds to it. Basic earth energy in general can do it for me- like sitting on a beach, in the woods, listening to whats around me...tapping into the earth like a tree root.
Energy off of 'le petite mort' after lovemaking can do it too!!!! that big bang- packs a whollop! lol
And concert crowds...ambient...gotta love it being available, but I would NEVER feed off of someone who didn't agree to it or throw it off in so large an amount that it would waste otherwise.
Good Evening SilverDragon....If you are looking for an elightened one here, may i sugest speaking with Enigma. He is amazing and has taught me many things....He is highly intellegent and can answer your questions respectfully.... I trust him completely.....
I had a feeling I would find what I was looking for here. Thankyou. Can any of you see Auras and see your effect on them after you drain or feed intentionally or by accident?
I try to draw mostly from nature! I do sometimes seem to absorb negative energy from people kinda easily. I try to stay away from crowds & taking from people! I do also sometimes see people auras. I'm still not very good at that, but I can usually sense a dark one. I feel like there is tons in nature & all around you. There is enough to not have to draw from others. I'm not saying anything is wrong with it, or that I never have from people. Nature just seems to feel more pure & untainted to me.
I very much draw energy from the emotions of others. This tends to be more effective when there is skin-to-skin contact involved...for me anyway. I have to really focus to do it, however.
I only realized that it was possible to accomplish this about two years ago...I had DONE it before that, but I had not realized exactly what it was that I was doing at the time.
anger and despair feed me energy i love to be around the suffering in return for there energy i end there termoil
I think one of my freinds is a psy vamp. I know he fed off of me once, giving me a very bad headache. I knew it was him somehow. I dunno what he normally feeds off of, if he really is one.
I am a Psy, I prefer blood. I think with anything, it's not good or bad, it's how it's done or used.
well when you walk into a bar or club, you hear people talk about how they can "feel" the energy in that place....
all i do is simply let that infuse me, play across the skin and draw it in
I am still awakening, but what I do know is I feed off of different energy and I havent fed off of emotions yet, dont know if I will or not.
Great responses here!!
I myself am psy and sang.
And I do think blood does have more of an energy transfer in most cases than psy, simply because you do not have to feed as often.
Some people mentioned feeding off negative energies or fear being bad for your own health. Or that it can weaken you, it can, if youre not careful. Happy joyfull energy is easy to feed from. That energy transfers sometimes even without your knowledge. Negative feedings take time to master, but once mastered, in most cases you get the energies you require (and if channeled correctly, you will leave the "victim" or transferer of energies feeling BETTER than they did before you fed from them.)
Also SilverDragon, a Symbiotic is a form of a Psy Vamp. You may look this term up, but that may be what you are.
Blessed Be!

Dark Greetings,
The psi part of me feeds off the Life Force,but never enough off one person to make them week.The ones that let me I know when to stop instinctually.i've done it all my life all 47yrs (Human Age) I am real not a Gamer.

I am one I woke up due to VR and a few people I talked to here I find emotions to be very rich the signals stronger then anything else.I have learned how to take care of myself here as well VR has been a great school for me
Ambient feeding psy here, sang when I need the quick burst, as blood is seen as a concentrated form of energy (think of liquid vitamins, absorbtion is quick).
I wouldn't consider myself a psy-vampire, since I don't even think to two go together. I am psychic. If there is something I take from another person it is due to my psychic abilities. I have no clue when the two were mashed togeter. If anyone knows, inform me, so I can rip it to shreds. :)
Read Michelle Belanger's The Psychic Vampire Codex. It is VERY accurate. Good ole sucking energy. It was funny b/c yesterday I was falling asleep driving my friends. Not good. Then my dumbass remembered I'm a pyschic vamp and I woke up real fast that's all she wrote...
I am a psy as well as sang vamp. when i feed off of psy energy it is usually connected to emtions. if there is someone that is feeling highly emotional, it kind of draws me to them, which makes me want to feed. so yeah...emotions are really my way to go.
My relationships don't seem to last because I seem to drain my partner physically and emotionally with in a few months
"Read Michelle Belanger's The Psychic Vampire Codex. It is VERY accurate. Good ole sucking energy. It was funny b/c yesterday I was falling asleep driving my friends. Not good. Then my dumbass remembered I'm a pyschic vamp and I woke up real fast that's all she wrote..."
That is THE LAST book I would read on the topic. Her book coincides with the creation of the Whitewolf rule book for a RP game, and it contain many of the same information. What I ment is it a new idea that could possibly have more fact in lifestyle/social changes. I always thought of it as a choice for those that wish to be in the "lifestyle" of vampirism, but become ill with the though of drinking blood. The people that I have witnessed doing some sort of energy transfer, finally broke and told me they were acting. Yeah, I had to pry, but I need to learn everything to it's fullest to believe it. I have had people try on me. When they failed they just made excuses, "I'm tired," "I haven't feed in a while," etc.
Strigocia-- M. Belanger's book is still considered one of the most helpful out there for those with awakening psychic abilities and for those who consider themselves psychic vampires-- or at least psychic-driven entities.
Also, her book coinsides with that of House Kheperu (which she is the founder of) and the Black Veil (in part borrowed/ paralleled with the work of Father Sebastian) -- not that of V:tM.
Again, I've been reading different posts you've made, and almost every single one has been in the negative context or mocking manner. This is a site of vampiric information and of free-form ideas.
Please do not shoot down every honest comment, recommendation or idea. That is what this site is all about, the sharing of the above.
That warning goes for everyone.
Why is it when ever any speak about that woman, her friends, and her books it is like you spat on their Grandmother? Frankly, if you learned it in a book, you haven't the faintest idea what you are. Do it, don't write/read it. If you are a psyvamp, you don't need instructions. You just do what it is in your ability to do.
Disregarding a peice of knowledge because it happened to have come out at the same time as a game system with a similar topic is foolish at best. My own feelings on the codex are that it could have been both better organized, and more straight forward, less mystical mumbo jumbo, however, it still holds merit for those who are learning what they are, and does present ways to learn control.
You claim to be a psychic Strigocia, ever think that itself may be why people can't feed off of you, the mind has it's own defenses after all, especialy in those who actually use the abilities that many posess yet ignore. And your own doubt is an active barrier to intrusion, or have you never actually reasearched how defensive mental blocking is accomplished, having unassailable doubt is a strong defense against intrusion if you can hold it, most people haven't the ego to hold that level of doubt for long.
as to psychic draining and vampirism being separate things altogether, this again comes back to the beaten to death in the forums question of what defines vampirism, if it is simply acting in a parasitic fashion by the draining of energy, then yes psy vampirism is in fact a very valid term.
and on the topic of snippy rudeness....well all things considered there is a reason i have gotten away with it to the degree I do, while others have gotten in shit over it...
I choose a when and a where, instead of simply snapping at everyone all the time, and being openly rude in every post I add.
it's this thing called tact
maybe you could look it up?
I have a good question, since it seems that most that posted is Sang/Psy combo...would that consider us hybrids or is it just because of convenience that we have to feed Psy because getting a donor is so few and far between anymore.???
Good question. I'll do my best to answer it sinec I'm actually ON tonight (*pokes D*)
For many I've come in contact with, psy/psi/chi energy not only is a more 'fluid' way to gain energy, but also a far SAFER way in reguards to STDs, AIDs, and other sicknesses that can cause painful side effects and premature death.
However this is not to say that sanguine feeding has become obsolute, but better suited among the spouse/lover/ADULT partner situations among those well-trusted individuals as well as those who are tested regularly (such as myself, for this and other personal reasons).
Also take into consideration that blood is and has always been considered a concentrated form of energy/vitae/life, and in many cases with sanguine vampires is used in times of dis-ease (ex. between lovers during a trip/convention when energy may not be the healthiest), or even used as in ritual (blood binding/Handfasting of vampiric, arcane nature,etc).
Hopefully that helps a little.
For me, the emotion of others is the most fulfilling kind of energy but I find I need to be careful not to get 'drunk' on it as I then sometimes feel as though I am losing myself.
i feed off pplz emotions weather they be happy, sad,mad or content.
I feed off of peoples energy, and some emotions seem to give out stronger then others
is that short for psychic or psychological vampires
psychics would feed off auras
and psychology would mean emotions and interactivity of inclusion or exclusion...
but I am a knowledge whore, writers, leaders generally tend to give truth to seek truth
we may raid peoples lives as spies, but ultimately knowledge of emotions and psychology, or the supernatural vibes gives back to the communities.
Vampires are here to serve. We have crossed barriers so that others don't have to,
or like my Soulmate said
No one taught me about life why should I help others?
well, what does one do with power?
It is about power isn't it?
There is no immortality without the sharing of power
so either you are here to enjoy your body and then you physically die without your soul being transformed into spirit
or you exist after your maortal death
you decide....
"psychics would feed off auras"
Auras, energy, emotion, these are all energy forms generally attributed to be able to be fed from among others, and energy really, there are some who claim they feed off fire or other elements, yet another usage of energy feeding.
Interesting to see your return.... you and simon ought to get on famously, you both make about the same amount of sense...
well, is it psychic psychological Daermon.
You did not address my question.
The options are there.
If it is Psychological and not psychic, then psy vampires would feed off emotion.
There is nothing more concrete than emotion.
You don't need to be psychic to understand why some chic you love you build a concrete wall against because you can't stand why your love of her makes you feel.
This Simon must be a radical thinker. Radical thinkers rarely are understood. It is the heart that understands, and if people really cared about others then nothing would seem illogical.
Devil's advocates on the whole want to absorb energy from the radical projectors of knowledge, but they will never admit to being under the influence of the power of others psychic abilities for that would mean they have struck a nerve.
Devil's advocate psy vamps are of a higher plane of thinking and get the best out of the psy vamp projectors by frustrating them to become even better vampires. If only the devil psy vamp could admit the knowledge in the offing was appreciated, but then that would go against the devil's advocates purpose, to get psy projectors to communicate even more plain so even the heart of hearing could absorb the post.
