Psychic Vampire

Let's be honest; the words psychic vampire sound pretty ridiculous and made up.  It sounds like something you'd hear in a bad science fiction movie.  It's only natural to be skeptical of the existence of vampires… especially psychic ones.

The truth is, however, that psychic vampires are indeed real.  You may be one yourself and not even know it!

They look nothing like regular vampires, in fact they look pretty much like you and I.  Their behavior doesn't need to seem unusual – you would probably just mistake them for an irritating, difficult or unpleasant person to be around.  All in all they seems like pretty normal people, but not someone you'd like to spend too much of your time with.

Some obvious psychic vampires are members of hate groups and gangs.  Observe their behavior – it's desperate and ugly.  They feed off other people's energies in order to make themselves feel worthy.  However, most vampires operate on a much smaller scale than the guys you find in hate groups. 

To the untrained eye, spotting a psychic vampire can be pretty difficult.  They might be able to hold a seemingly normal conversation and simultaneously feed off the energy they're encouraging you to exude. 

Chances are you have a friend or family member who is a psychic vampire and you're uncomfortable with the thought of them being one.  Don't worry about having "bad" thoughts.  Psychic vampires are not evil; they're just unaware of how to properly use and control their energies and emotions.   

If you suspect someone of being a psychic vampire, you can attempt to determine if they are in fact are vampires, by noticing how they carry themselves and how they hold conversations.  If someone seems desperate for approval or excessively negative, chances are they are feeding off other people's energy.

Most of the time psychic vampires are unaware of how they're affecting others.  They aren't truly happy and can tend to focus on their feelings of dissatisfaction.  They don't usually take notice of how other people are reacting to their behavior. 

Luckily, there are some very effective strategies you can use to protect yourself.  One of the most utilized protection techniques is to imagine yourself surrounded with and filled with a positive white light from above.  Hold that safe feeling with you for a minute and know that you're protected. 

You can also carry around a quartz crystal with you.  It doesn't take up much room and will protect you 24/7.  When shopping for a quartz crystal, carry the piece in your hand and pick one that resonates with you.  Carrying this crystal around should help you to feel safer and more energized. 

Psychic vampires aren't necessarily bad people, so there's a strong chance that they have the capacity to change and improve themselves.  If you're close enough to a psychic vampire, you may want to help them learn to manage their emotions and depend on their own energy.
