Are you a psychic vampire, or do you think someone you know is one?
Straight to the point. I am one.
We drain the energy, usually from people, but there is always a little ambient power in the air or general surroundings. This makes us feel good and strong. From what I have read (and experienced) I siphon energy even when I am not trying to. I can pierce individuals' auras' and pull the energy out. And my, my it feels GOOD. Different people have different amounts of power within them.
Personal Account:
I have a good friend who is VERY energetic and can stay up for the entire night. But whenever he is around me, he gets tired. At his house once, we were hanging out, watching his favorite (action packed, lots of booms and bangs and loud noises) movie. He, sitting next to me, went out like a light (snore, snore). This sort of thing happens whenever i am around him, and now, after presenting himself with the evidence, now believes me to be Psychic vampire.
Is there anyone here who is one as well?

Interesting thread. Now, let's say that I'm not interested in having my energy "pulled out" of me. What would I have to do to block one of your kind from being so invasive?

How compassionate of you to share this. You must feel really conflicted right now.

to Itsthequetion- haha yes. But there are plenty of people to take energy from. a few shielded makes no difference. But i am working on using "energy pulses" from my body to "break in."
Jiggy-slow down, what are you trying to say?

taking energy from people naturally without intention to do so is one thing, but to actively seek ways to get as much as you can from people does depict you in a monstrous light.

the subject of psychic vampirism is interesting to read about [yet to decide on its authenticity], but maybe you are being caught up in the current romanticism of the tradition blood-lust kind and have lost sight with how it sucks [pun?] for everyone around you except you.

stroking the ego does feel good.

I know someone else who is one also, just not aware of it. If I shield myself with light so they cannot draw energy from me, they get extremely frustrated, and usually divert their attention to others around them.

Whoa, you're bragging about this? Honestly, you're the type of person I generally can sense right away and try to avoid at all costs. IMO, I think you should try to figure out what it is you need to work on in order to be more of a positive force in people's lives...Being a vampire is one thing, but being a source of good energy is vital to you and those around you.

I've been called a psychic vampire by some, because of my ability to draw energy from others. I'm also empathic and feel the emotions around me as well though, and I believe the two may be related in some way. Large crowds and big cities are not a comfortable place for me as a result. I had to learn how to filter out both energy and emotions so I wouldn't constantly be overwhelmed by either from other people.

The ability is not limited to draining energy away from people however. I've also been able to transfer my own energy into others at times. I believe that all psychic or energy vampires can develop this ability if they choose to. It requires a conscious effort to visualize the energy flowing out of you instead of just leeching it from your target, if that makes any sense.

As for trying to break through someone else's defense against your ability, that's beyond abhorrent. If your target is willing, that's one thing, but what you're doing by breaking down their defenses is the same as assault, and that type of behavior is the reason that people fear and often hate psychic vampires, just as they fear and hate any who would do them harm. It's flat out wrong and there's no excuse for anyone with a conscience thinking it's a good idea.

Learn to give back a little and not just suck the life out of everyone around you, no matter how good you may think it feels. Its like a drug and the feeling is intoxicating and addictive if you let it be. Learn to control it instead of letting it control you. You own mind and willpower are your only limitations in that regard. It can be done.

There are probably many people like you, and they use there abilities in a more evil way. The way i look at it, is energy, thats all it is. Some people are better sources of energy than others, and thats the way it is.

I do not know of any like you, but i assume, plenty of evil people especially at the top of our world, are like you and use it all the time.

Sounds pretty predatory to me.

One's energy is vital to them, stealing it just doesn't seem like a respectful thing to do. Couldn't you find a way to build your own energy without victimizing someone else?

now i think i may be one too O_o when i place a hand on my stomach when it hurts..then shake it away..i fell better...when i place my hand on someone who lets say back hurts...after a while he seems better..its like i suck the bad things out

That is one way of looking at it, but I would think there are universal laws that govern free will to do with one's energy as they choose.

If you bypass the person's choice then you would be breaking natural balance.

I am not judging you, but for myself I would want to be given the choice to share my energy rather than someone deciding for me whether or not I could spare a bit for someone who seems to think they deserve more than the average person or more than what they are able to generate for themselves.
