They Don't Only Drink Blood

Have you ever wondered why you feel drained or tired after you talk to certain people? It's quite possible that you've encountered a vampire. Let's talk about vampires. In this case we aren't talking about the blood and guts variety, but the kind that feeds off energy and drive. A person who consciously or unconsciously feeds off the energy of others is a psychic vampire. How does this relate to health and fitness you ask? Well, just as it is important that you keep your body healthy, it is just as important that you keep your mental state healthy.

Psychic vampirism is more widespread than most people think. We have all experienced interactions that have left us drained of energy or know people that generally wear down people around them. What makes a psychic vampire so dangerous is that repeated attacks can result in chronic fatigue, sleep disturbances, irritability, depressed mood, and even physical illness in the victim. These people drain you of all your sprite energy and give nothing back.

Psychic vampires are different in their appearance and character traits. One trait of the psychic vampire is to charm his or her way into another’s life by flattery, asking for help, or giving gifts. The 'vampire' will approach the potential victim and either ask for or offer help if the victim is on hard times. This is a trick because invariably the vampire will find a way to turn all interactions and conversations back toward themselves, forcing the victim to give them energy. He or she will offer the victim what they dream of. These 'gifts' could be as simple as professional contacts or as big as trips or large sums of money. Either way it's all for the benefit of the vampire.

Psychic vampires like to create a fast-paced almost secret life to keep the victim off balance. This allows the vampire to keep the victim confused when communication between the two breaks down. The vampire's emotional guessing game.

Psychic vampires rarely think about the consequences of their behavior. He or she will blame anyone around them for any negative result, often focusing their anger on one person. When this happens, the vampire will go to other people (sometimes victims, sometimes potential victims) for sympathy. He or she will lament how horrible a certain person has been to them and how they helped this person, but all they got back was nastiness. Psychic vampires like to play the victim.

Some vampires will focus severe outbursts of rage or anger at seemingly simply situations. He or she will blow small, silly situations out of proportion because emotions like anger and rage emit huge amounts of emotional energy.

Psychic vampires whether conscious or not are very crafty. They are also toxic and should be avoided. Having one or two of these traits does not necessarily mean that someone is a psychic vampire, but for a person to have all, watch out! Thanks for your ear and keep reading!
