Psychic vampires are very real. They are not vampires in the classical sense of the word, however. These creatures, and I use this word intentionally, seem to thrive only with a constant influx of a certain kind of emotion, whether it be fear, sympathy, or whatever. We all know one. They may present themselves as a fragile, helpless victim undergoing some sort of horrible emotional trauma. Their complaint may be that no one but you understands their situation, or that you are their only real friend. They may be needy, clingy, even demanding, and others who attempt to gain your attention may be met with animosity or jealousy. They feel the need to constantly be in your presence, maybe even at the expense of your other friends, your family, or your job. They slowly worm their way into your life, whether you want them there or not, and then, they may refuse to leave. If confronted with their selfishness, they may try to ellicit sympathy by crying, or in other cases, they may become highly emotional, even hysterical. In any case, their ultimate goal is to keep you where they want you. They may keep you depressed or irrationally upset, then blame this emotional state on the others in your life. They may instigate confrontations between other people in your household, perhaps even forcing them to leave with the excuse that the person was bad for you anyway. They may bring unwanted guests into your home while you are away. The end result of this behavior is to gain the "emotional boost" they seem to require.
You may or may not be aware that when a human being has certain emotions, the physical and psychological experiences connected with that emotion are caused by chemicals released from a certain area of our brains. These chemicals are called endorphins, and some people do not seem to be able to trigger these endorphins on their own. They may require excessive stimuli in order to achieve the same physiological effect as a normal person in the same situation. And yes, the constant flurry of chaotic activity can be very taxing for the average person. You may feel drained, empty, even light-headed at times, while the "vampire" assures you that you are such a good person for being so caring. The reason is that these endorphins can be very addictive. Take adrenaline junkies, for example. They will go to any length to experience that elusive rush of adrenaline, even at risk to their own life. We may see their behavior as reckless, but the thrill seeker may seem unconcerned. The addiction has become more powerful than the sense of self-preservation. The same can be said for the psychic vampire. The emotion is all that matters.
Most psychic vampires are harmless. They may hang around for a while, feeding on your emotional state, and then, just when you start to catch on, they may disappear again. Others are not so harmless. These dark creatures feed on fear and prejudice, anger, and the thirst for revenge. They can be violent, abusive, or controlling, and they have no remorse about who they abuse. Their need is the feeling that this kind of control gives them, that sense of invulnerability and authority that comes with absolute power. They may keep their friends or loved ones locked away or segregated from society. They may tap the phones or spy on their husbands or wives. They may have a reputation for physical abuse, especially toward women or children, the characteristically "weaker" sex. These people are frightening and dangerous, but it's not always easy to spot them. My best advice is to listen to your inner self. If it tells you that something doesn't add up, run away quickly.

Vampires are a figment of Hollywood imagination. Considered synonymous with vampire bats, even though they don't really suck the blood. They make small bites on their prey then lick the blood from the wound. Leaches are bloodsuckers, as are tics which you find generally on animals; but they are not considered vampires. Vampire is only a descriptive word, to infer how someone makes you feel. If someone says "They're like vampires", it's only to express a feeling in terms most people can easily relate to if they've ever seen a vampire movie. - Which, by the way, is a work of fiction.

I think that the term "psychic vampire" is used to describe anyone who drains your energy. He/she may not even realize what effect he/she has on you. My aunt would probably qualify, though. She's a basically nice person, but she's really intense about everything, so she very easily drains the energy of the person she's talking to. Sometimes, I could also probably be described as a psychic vampire, unfortunately.

What is a physic? Were you trying for physical and got drained at that exact moment? I have encountered several physical vampires, but in my experience they hide under the guise of a lab tech that draws your blood. I've had an organ transplant and am required to see these vampires often.
As for psychic vampires one needs to know while their energy is being drained what is happening. If they are wise, they can learn how to stop it and block it in future meetings with the vampire.
You'll just have to ask Bram Stoker when you are dead and meet him.

A friend of mine claimed her physiotherapist was an "energy vampire". So, one day, giving her the benefit of the doubt, I went with her to her physiotheraphy session. Well, in a way, she was right. He was unsupportive, snappy, and negative and managed to drain the energy from both of us in under one hour. Not because he magically "sucked" our energy, but because both my friend and I were really tense and unconsciously defensive near him. This extra effort takes a lot out of a person. I guess if special lenses are available in future technology we might be able to actually see the negative energy strains in the atmosphere, strictly talking on a quantum physics level.

It's true in some cases. Many of them can control how much energy they take, so they don't leave you tired. I actually know a few vampires.

Ever met someone who just seems really needy and they wear you out? Thats usually a psychic vampire. They suck the post energy out of you, cause they have a hard time producing it themselves.

Hm mm, I don't know about the vampire part of that, but I have worked with people that don't pull their share of the load and by the end of the day I'm physically as well as mentally exhausted like every thing's been sapped right out of me.

No, just a normal vampire. He was fine and left me with some energy.

I know some people that drain my energy. They are not literal vampires, though. Just normal people.
