The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

i used to have a friend that i described as a Psychic Vampire .. because even talking to her on the phone left me feeling emotionally drained .. her demands on my time, my attention , and my mind at times.. were more than i could handle .. she was literally EXHAUSTING ...

i'm not sure she was doing it on PURPOSE and she NEVER described HERSELF as a Psy Vamp ...

My question is .. has anyone else ever had this kind of an experience with a Psy Vampire? ...

And for the many Psy Vamps here... do any of your donors ever describe a feeling of being emotionally drained afterwards ??

OR... do i have a totally warped conception because of a bad experience?

Well, the person I speak of didn't class herself as a psy vamp.. BUT she used to leave people completely exhausted.. she is VERY bubbly and out-going and always on the Go.. and you have to be giving her attention or she gets skittish!
So, yes I have had this happen to me.

I consider myself akin ot psy vamp.. but I oly get my 'hit' from crowded places as it gives me a HUGE buzz...

ive had that happen to me with people where they would drain every inch of my energy

minx, negative energy drains are useful for others. the psychic vampire has the ability to cycle energy and turn it to straight prana, which is neither wholly positive nor negative. as such, the negativity doesn't have to affect the psy vamp and the donor gets a reprieve from stress and their negative focus. healthy all around for all concerned.

I had a friend once who after spending some time with, left me drained. It was as if I hadn't gotten any sleep and I just wanted to curl up and sleep, yet when I did lay down, I couldn't sleep.

I have met a few people that were pscy vampires, they do thrive on energy, emotions , anger, fear, love, lust, love, hate, taken from others. I am one myself, however I do control it and only draw the energy when I find myself in situations of very high emotional output, it helps to lessen the drama of the situation and gives me the strenght to continue within the drama

MasterEmmanuelo,

Excuse me if I disbelieve you, but what you are describing sounds much more like a sociopathic state of mind, not a vampiric one.

and your point STABB ... is exactly why i ASKED the question ....

best way to find the answers and learn ..

i wasnt out to start an argument

No-one is arguing, yet.

I have no problem with the question, but with the way the concept is being interpreted.

I have a couple of friends that are very emotionally draining but never once have i thought they were a psy-vampire! I would be more likely to think that i am a good enough friend to someone that they felt they could lay themselves open to me and let me attempt to help them with their issues.

Complex emotional problems do not make a vampire

LizSara - I agree with you! I believe that complex emotional problems definitely do not make one a vampyre.

As for my personal experiences of energy, I can go both ways. When I feed, I tend to take any kind of energy I can find whether it be negative or positive and then either use it or discard with it how I wish.

My donors sometimes feel a sense of being "drained", but I usually do not go that far. I like to not be noticed as a vampire even though my need for energy is great. I tend to take from a multiple of beings in small amounts that way kind of "masking" what my intent truly is. Hope that makes sense lol

Actually, I'm dealing with the same thing with one of my friends. I don't think they would be considered psychic vampires, just needy.

Yet if you had read my answer you would have gathered that I only use it to lessen the drama in a situation, therefoe making the situation manageable.

I didn't think psy-vampires took emotions from people only energy. So if you are taking energy from someone are you saying you (or your friends) wait until a situation of high drama is unfolding and then have a good old feed because you get more from it that way?

When a person is in an emotional state, more energy is being spent and given off by then, if you are trying to difuse a dangerous situation it is not a feed, simply a way of fixing a problem

I've learned ALOT so far from reading everyone .. and that was my purpose for asking :)

i said that i described my friend as a pyschic vampire .. and back then .. i knew no better... from reading everyone here .. i can see it would have been better to call her an EMOTIONAL vampire... and actually just be using the "vampire" as a metaphor...

again .. i meant no disrespect to ANY one here... just trying to learn more :)

and i hope to keep learning more !!!

i agree, an emotional vampire sounds right. personally i don't know anyone like this, but i did learn a few new things.

Good lord, yes! Some people drain your energy just because you take on their problems. It does not mean they are a psy vampire.

Then their are others who do not realize their gift or have no control over it. Generally, people with alot of drama and demands on your time will make you feel drained. Sometimes you just need to say "It isn't my problem."

I had an interesting experience with my ailing grandmother this last April. My mother and I went down to visit her for a few weeks and any time I spent with her I always felt so deflated afterwords. Now, she's 97 -- so I wasnt tired from keeping up with her.

I know she is not a Psy vamp, but I think because she is so sick she is pulling in energy from other people to keep herself sustained.

Has anyone else had this?

When I lived in Nevada, I had a friend that you couldn't talk to without losing all your energy, or becoming very tired and weak. It was a very interesting experiance, but I feel better now that we don't live so close.

Boojum, that would be interesting if the sick could do that, sort a life force

I think Daemona was right on the money. Maybe talk to your friend or learn some shielding techniques.

I don't see why they couldn't really, MsDutchess. I know if you have practise with energy work you can give energy to a sick person.

Actuially, here's a good story about it.

normaly i turn to my sources with a question like this but since this i happen to run across this topic i'll ask here.. this is semi on topic but more of a reverse question. i used to work in a kitchen, fired very recently hence why i say used to, as a dish washer. i would work my shift solo over there in dish land and by the end of the shift i'm just like out of gas... but here is the odd part to this, if someone comes back over and helps me its like i just drank a pot of coffee(extream eggeration) and its like i just started the shift. to my knowledge i'm just your run of the mill joe..... does this mean any thing?

I have noticed that my energy donors are always juiced up after I feed. Like they've had an energy drink or something. The feelings or emotions are not what I feed off of, so it would seem to me that taking energy hypes up the emotional feedback. People who are emotionally draining are probably not psy-vamps, just people who are too demanding and too overwhelming in their own way.

Joli .. thats something that i never thought about ! .. shielding techniques ..
anyone have any thoughts or ideas on THAT subject??

I've done that to people without realising it..but I'm more of a vampire who senses when good or bad will happen..hmm maybe its just esp...but I can feel nesgative or positive energies

I do think you have a bit of a warped perception, based a LOT on people rather than other means.

However, yes I hve had an experience of an emotionally draining person. Seeing them for small amounts of time if my rule.

after a bit of time researching and chatting with ppl on here, i feel as tho im a psy vamp. i have never drank blood other than my own (simply for the fear of disease) i tend to feel drained after encounters with certain ppl adn certain types of ppl. but i have never had anyone tell me they felt drained from me. except for sexually lol.

! OMG! i don't believe it. how do you know Selina? yup - i know her too. i swear my ears bled the last time i was trapped on the phone with her.

Some people don't realise that they are draining the energy of others that they are with. I think it's possible for people who are not psychic vampires to do it. Or of they are psy vampires, they have not realised it.

i have a question what do phy vamp perfer blood or phy energy

I have experienced this in person as well as online. it is possible for people to be this way without even knowing it.

Sometimes people are not aware unless told and then if they do not have any meditational background may not be able to figure out how to control this. All vamps do this including sanguine. Some just won't admit to it and the older tend to get somewhat of a handle on it.

Empathically most identify that with the Psi but I know many blood drinkers that are very empathic. You need to learn how to shield yourself and that is through meditational/visualization methods. You can find many good websites that will tell you how to shield from being drained. There is always someone here that can refer you or give you advice on this. Privately is better because it would be a tad long here. There are various methods for shielding. I personally like using mental mirrors.

This unfortunately happens a lot and sometimes the people haven't identified themselves as vampiric...what's in a name really. Not everyone draws these conclusions and very often it is what they have been exposed to.
