Oh I did up until two years ago, but I got savvy, turned my life around and told every last one of the emotional vampires in my life to take a hike and go back to Transylvania because I'd had enough of them draining the life out of me.

Yep - white witches often use that term -my ex wife was one of them - the whole of your persona just drained away and left you with a bitter taste- i have come across several others too, but these people ( so i am told) have a compatible partner who is not effected ( somewhere ) - the suck the emotions out of some individuals or thrive on causing or observing emotional turmoil
Avoid!

Yup, at one stage I was surrounded by them. The sooner you learn to stand up for yourself the better so then these people aren't so prevelant in your life. Emotional vampires are closely associated with the drama llamas - you know the people who aren't happy unless they have something terrible going wrong with their lives.

Yes, I have, two, a man and a woman at different times of my life. It makes me tired even now to think of either of them. Needless to say I avoid people like that now like the plague.

I have known so many in my life, still know some. In fact, when younger I probably was one myself from time to time.
Solution? Identify and limit contact, but kindly (and firmly).
