Psychic Vampires - Are you a victim?

I guess the best way to deal with this is to be as positive as possible, and to in the most nicest ways find ways to avoid spending time with those who are too negative. A good book to read on this whole kind of matter of personal energy is "The Celestine Prophecy." I think you'd really enjoy it. Keep focusing on the positive, and try to help those around you focus on the positive. That's all you can do.

Yes I've been around people like that. It is very draining and depressing. I just try to avoid those people as much as possible. When they do talk with me I try to keep it as positive as I can, but that doesn't help much. I don't understand why they are that way, but I can't change them or their thinking. That's an even bigger waste of my energy! You can't change or control anyone but yourself.

Will you please tell in more words what has happened to you ? It will help to give proper responses.

Wow,Psychic vampires do really exist?I came to know until you have this discussion. I think I have all these types of people in my area which stresses me out.I'm glad i'm not these types of person.How do I know if I was a victim of Psychic vampires?

I've heard people talk about this on the net before, and TBH its a bunch of hooey. It doesn't make any sense, there is no science behind it, and its just weird. I don't believe in that kinda stuff so no, I'm not a victim.

Yeah.. I have heard of wat you are talking about.. But trust me they can feed on your energy only if u have negative thoughts like fear, anxiety, anger etc.. For example, if u find that ur around one of them and get scared that they might harm u, then thts it, their job is made easy.. Its all in your mind.. If u believe they cant harm u, then they cant.. So have faith n u frustrate them before they do to u..

I guess I never realized that these kinds of people have a name. I hate to admit it, but I think my mother is one. Usually after I talk to her or she leaves, I'm drained and only thinking negative things and to top it off, my husband and I usually get into a fight!! When I read this to my hubby he said Yep sounds like your mom!

I have dropped alot of friends and family for this same term. Although I have caught myself being that way at times, really terrible situations, but I guess everyone is entitled. Just remember you can pick your friends and you dont have to talk to them if they get you down.

Ooohhh I had a couple ppl in my life like that! One of them was SO BAD my entire family felt it and I had to thoroughly cleanse the house after she left....How do I handle it now...basically I dont do anything specific really, I mean if I know a person like that is coming to the house I will prepare myself by meditating and putting up my personal guard/wall (surrounding myself with a positve energy I guess you could say)..and after they leave I cleanse the house... Most psychic vamps arent even aware that they are doin it I find, but the ones you come in contact with that DO know and do it intentionally, those are the ones that really annoy me because it almost becomes a battle of wits I guess you could say..you have to conciously keep your 'strength' up and mind the other person/what they'll do etc...I try to not be around ppl like that too much. Not because I cant handle it but because its flat out a pain in the a$$

Very interesting topic. One of the best Ive seen here. I too have just realised that I have a few of them in my life. At least now I recognise it and have picked up a few tips on dealing with them. Thank you so much for raising this subject.

Some people having strong personality may intimidate other people & make them feel less confident ...

I'd like to answer to your question by another (double) question: are those "psychic vampires" aware of what they do and do they do it to everyone or only to some selected "victims"?

Yes, there are thousands of people like that. The only way not to fall victim to them is to stay away from them as much as you can but if they cant be avoided then just keep your cool and just listen to all the angst they spew but dont let these things bother you, there's always a chance that we will learn something from what they have said or what they havent said.

I m not Psychic Vampires victim........

The best way to handle a psychic vampire is to get away from the person! There's one in my life now who drains me terribly, and I am planning my exit...

i think psychic vampires.

Yes, I've heard this term many times. I think I've developed just a healthy sense of self-preservation when it comes to these types. I identify them now pretty easily, and then I figure out ways to politely not spend any more time around them than is absolutely necessary. They will suck the very life out of you and bring you down. Don't be outright rude to them but find ways to make yourself unavailable to them.

i have heard of this, in my college days, and i do believe its true, i have one friend who does suck all my energy everytime she confides in me. then.. i will just rejunvinate through other stuffs.

I've met people like that. I learned to avoid them, although I never had a name to call them. It's frustrating if you have to spend time with them for work or something else that requires your presence. I'm not a believer in the supernatural, so I don't think of them as actual vampires, psychic or otherwise. But I understand the term and believe that there are people whose personalities clash with yours in a certain way that makes you depressed or tired.

I'm so glad I now know the term for this person in my life! Thank you! Yes, that is what she is to a tee--a psychic vampire! Every time I would talk to her on the phone it was nothing but drama and always about HER life and HER problems. She would never let me get a word in edge wise. When we were together she would cut me off in coversation, give me odd looks, only talk about things she knew I could care less about; and, degrade my parenting skills. I recently "wrote her off" and came to the conclusion that I just really don't like her nor do I want her in my life to make me miserable. I was a victim...yes indeed!
