how would you know if you are a psychic vampire?

Hi moon, I have never heard of psychic vampires. Maybe they aren't aware that they do that to others. When they do feed off others energy, do they get hyped up, like taking uppers? How would they know unless someone brought it to their attention that they feel drained. Maybe those that are being used don't notice the difference. This is a very curious subject for me. leenie

ok i know what u mean i have this friend who is just like this everytime i go around her i feel drained i think you draw your reality to you so all the stuff she complains about she gets more of i try to tell her if she thinks positive she would draw a positive reality but she never does

Some of us are born that way, and had it not been what I have learned on the Pagan path, I would have never known that I'm a vamp. Although there are others who learned to drain energy at will, natural vampires often do it unconsciously as it is more a reflex then a conscious act, much like a heartbeat or breathing. Natural vamps are born with problems in their energy system. We cannot produce enough energy and seek external sources to keep us up and running. Most of us are not proud of it, and see it as a curse we cannot remove in life. Fortunately, there are also ways to absorb life force without drawing them from humans, prana exercises are one good example. With enough practice, one can consciously override our ability to feed, well, at less when you're still focused enough too. So how do you tell between a natural vamp and someone with ill intent? Ironically, it is by the people around them. A natural is often very charismatic, sociable and have lots of people around him/her all the time. Why hunt when they will come to you?

yeah these people are the ones who loves to make other feel sad, and or angary.. they don't care who they hurt, and they blame everyone else for what's going on thier life. they are the ones who think they can say or do anything to anyone they want. and they don't think anyone has the right to get upset with them. and if you do get upset with them they are the ones who cries and *itch and say i don't understand why you are upset. i have so much fun with these people. i will tell them straight up and i often have them crying because they think i am too hard on them, they want me to pat thier head and rub their belly. not happening. there people will not drain my enery from me. i am a true bleiver if you are around negtive enery you will become negtive. so if you are around negtive people negtive things will happen to you, and you become negtive. i have stopped dealing with these people all together, some are even family and they are upset because i refuse to hang out with them or be around them for a long period of time.

Moonlitmagic, Thanks for bring this subject up! I now realize what has been happening to me. Two of my so-called friends have been "slurping up" my emotions and feedback on many subjects to give them a lift. Why hadn't I realized this? Yes, it happens and it seems that some of us aren't aware of it even going on. Now that you mention this, these two people have pushed others away from them and I should have seen the signs. Bless You!

whoah! That's a new one! I'm kind of interested with the topic. How do these psychic vampires drain energy from other people? Do they still need physical contact to do that or do they just simple do it with mind power?

Even though it is not polite of me to say this, but I am going to say it nevertheless. My mother is one psychic vampire because almost every time I am around her I get annoyed and my energy is drained. I don't intend to humiliate her, I just want to say this just as an example so that other mothers out there would not do the same to their kids. I am a fully grown adult but until now my mother still regards me like a small kid. I am always angry when she treats me like this. It is as if she has no respect towards me and she is putting me down and make me appear like a person with no dignity whenever I am around her. So please mothers out there never do this to your kids.

I don't know but if you'd like to pin my ex-wife down & examine her I'd be happy to help hold the pin.

I think they're at least aware on a subconcious level...but I've known a few that were completely unaware. The ones I knew often got upset and confused at the affects they had on people. Depressed. I have a tendency to love and care for messed up people, so that's how this all happened, lol. It wore on me too, of course. But yeah.

I never knew of something such as a psychic vampire. How do they even know they exsits? How do they diagnose if a person is a psychic or not? It would be interesting to know more. I will be googling about it later today. Interesting....

I don't know if there are such people as psychic vampires, but it si possible that they exist. I have xome across psychic healeers alright. They can fill you with positive energy while sitting miles away. Once my wife had a lot of stomach pain and a lady sittng some 1000 KM away asked her to sit quitely withot moving for 20 minutes and that she will send healing from there. Sure enough after 20 minutes the pain disappeared. When positive exists, negative too must be existing.

very much so... its amazing what some people dont realize they do XD heck even I do that to some... (but I give a lot of it back :P lol) everyone does it to a degree, its just some are much higher than others.... what sucks, is when people take all the energy out of others, and then toss it down the drain instead of doing something with it :P

My brother is a priest and he told me once a story of how drained he feels after hearing confessions. People who are in pain and suffering bear negative energies. Talking it out to someone who is very susceptible passes the negative energy on. Maybe it is true. Problematic friends sometimes are a burden to listen to. That's why if you're a good listener, people like you. it is because you give them energy and you on the other hand feels drained. Well, these energy ould be replenished by prayers and a strong faith. People like them would always exist. Us,otherwise must always stay positive and always see the good side of things so we could have enough positive energy to keep going.

Usually they are not aware of it... I have been attacked 3 times by a psychic vampire.. It was always around 4 am and i would wake up and not be able to move, but i could feel the blood rushing through my body and i felt really hot. It always happened when I was sleeping on my back.. I looked it up and found that you could link your finger and thumb together like a circle, then do the other hand and put them together on your chest (should look like an infinity sign) It hasnt happened to me since I slept like that for a week haha. Next time your friend is around try doing this sign in your lap and see if she gets uncomfortable.

I don't' believe that some people notice at all until someone points it out.

I think that there are many who are well aware of the fact that they do this to people. They are the ones who tend to need drama in their lives, for whatever reason. They become friends with those who have a tendency to want to help those poor tortured souls whose lives seem to be in constant upheaval. They feed off the innocents who have no idea what is happening to them. Then, there are those who are totally unaware of the fact that they literally drain a persons energy when they are around. I think the saddest part of it all is that people don't realize why they always feel drained, and unable to focus. I have a friend who used to do this to me. I realized one day, after being on the phone with her, that I was so tired, and drained that I could not do anything but sit on the couch and stare at the wall in front of me, that it was she who was doing it, and I was letting her. I finally had to tell her, "If I see your number come up on my phone, if I don't feel like I can handle you, psychically, I am not going to answer. You just wear me out." She understood, and we are still friends. I love her dearly, but there are times I just cannot be around her or take her calls.

I've never heard of psychic vampires and personally it sounds a little ridiculous, thought that's probably just because I don't actually know anyone like that. And I think a person who is obnoxious or bothersome isn't what moonlit is asking about. she means someone who sucks the energy out of you...but really, who does that? If you want to be annoyed, or feel down on someone, you will, and if you want to respond positively to them you will. It's more about people's reaction to the person than the actual person.

That Doesn't Help Someone Who Is Trying To Figure Out If They Are Or Not.
