The psychic vampire feeds on the energy of others. They leave us feeling drained and lacking energy. They may be extroverted, “the centre of attention”, or introverted and negative, "a downer", but their common characteristic is that they want our attention. People trying to communicate something seek attention for the idea they are trying to communicate, this is quite the opposite of psychic vampirism. The vampire wants us to focus on them, on themself, to have emotions towards them, to think about them, not about an idea, knowledge. They want to trigger us. They want us to be caught up in their game.
Myths about the vampire-bite making the person bitten into a vampire have some truth to them. Not only do we feel drained and thus perhaps seek the same kind of attention from others in order to feel better, but in order to get the energy from us, the vampire uses a toxic facade which ‘dumps’ their negative energy into our aura. This can cause long-lasting damage and require healing. Essentially they are engaging in a kind of programming, “pushing our buttons” which make us give them energy. They seek our weak spots, our fascinations.
Blaming others for their problems is a trait of the psychic vampire. They want to elicit our sympathy. Yet they don’t generally feel the same sympathy for us because this would mean giving, rather than taking, energy. They may make us think that they are genuinely interested in us and our problems, yet they may well evaporate if we fall into rough times. We reflect their false sympathy with genuine sympathy, which is where the energetic imbalance is created. But they can also feed of off negative emotions, as in the case of “trolls” who provoke others’ anger and also feed on the fame they create for themselves in doing so.
The psychic vampire’s lack of true feelings towards others, true empathy, may be manifested in their political and spiritual values. It is likely that they “go with the flow” and accept or even celebrate injustice. To stand up against tyranny requires some emotional depth, some kind of compassion for fellow human beings. When we consider this, it may seem that very many people indeed are in some way psychic vampires. Unfortunately in these times, that may be quite true.
But of course not every psychic vampire is wholly conscious that they are doing it. There surely exist genuinely psychopathic personalities with a malignant charisma, the kind of person who makes a chill when they walk into a room. But there are also many people, indeed the majority, who are unconscious of what they are doing, often being used by more powerful demonic entities. Perhaps they have some unsatisfied emotional needs in their childhood or other psychological problems, and we must remember that even very twisted people are generally wounded in some way.
Every one of us does indeed have genuine emotional needs which need to be satisfied. We need to be loved, though ultimately the only truly satisfying love is the spiritual kind. The trouble is that rather than seeking love, we often seek all the things that seem like love yet which are not, such as public respect, fame, money. In fact the psychic vampire is a poor, suffering individual because they are seeking the most distorted and impoverished reflection of love, they are seeking only attention. Thus they will never be truly satisfied emotionally or spiritually, never be at peace.
