I recently learned about a classification of people called Psychic Vampires. No, I'm not talking about those mythical creatures who are supposed to bite your neck, drink blood and live forever... What I am referring to are people who always drag you down when you are in their company, even if they are supposed to be your friend.
You find yourself purposely avoiding phone calls with this person, they always have some sob story to tell about how the world has wronged them and how they are never to blame for anything that goes wrong in their lives. When you interact with a psychic vampire, they leave you emotionally drained.
I have known several psychic vampires in my time. As a matter of fact, my husband and I believe that his ex is a psychic vampire. She fits the category perfectly, she is ALWAYS the victim, nothing is ever HER fault, everyone is out to get her, she complains about anyone and anything she can think of, she likes to put people down, especially behind their back, and most importantly, you feel emotionally drained after having to interact with her, even if just for a few minutes.
Do you have a psychic vampire in your life?
If so, try to eliminate them from your life. These types of people will do nothing good for you. They will drag you and anyone else down with them, if given the chance.
If you cannot avoid your interactions with a psychic vampire. (Like us with the ex) Then always remember that your pain is their gain. Don't let them have the satisfaction. Don't fall prey to their victim stories, and most of all, remember that it is always ok to excuse yourself to the restroom!
