I personally think its just peoples energies themselves that can either take away or give. If your sitting alone at a table and suddenly your best friend sits next to you then starts telling you how her/his life sucks, how they hate someone, or how someone died; you may realize you quickly adapt their emotions or loose energy with their bitterness. Maybe your ceatch in the emotion as well. I believe in a way we all suck away or give energy.
When in play practice, everyone is tired, they don't perform as well as they could. Soon enough everyone else begins to become tired, lazy, and just not careing about the play. It all starts with that one person whom allows his emotions onto the stage, effecting everyone else. May sound weird, but it happens all the time. And it gets to me sometimes. I have to really push myself not to get dazze into the Zombie like conditions.
Really anyone who has the nerve to sit by me and start complaining or hateing on things I either tell them to not go there, go away, or I'll just move to another seat. They drain energies I tell you! I just try staying away from those types of peeps. . .
Only met one dude who thought he was a Vampire. He bit my arm, I smacked him, and he was suspended for two weeks. . . There was one dude on TV Reality Game show once whom I absolutly adored. He was a real sweety, and had amazing cloths! *Drool* I would love to get my hands on his outfits... Sooooooo pretty...BWHAHAHAHA

Oh I totally know what you mean when you say that it only takes one person. I got to experience that one mahself in the work force.
I worked for a small data processing company in the Inclearings department.
The whole department was a small room. Along the walls were counters and it was there we had our terminals sitting next to eachother ( no dividers mind you). Only the Lead had a desk near the door. The rest of the room was large enough to just house 3 banquet type tables ( arranged in a U shape). From counter to table you could touch with outspread arms.
Our department had *thinks back* maybe ten people in it ( including the Lead).
Our old Lead left. A new one arrived.
In that dept. it took only one person to throw the whole environment off. And when it was the new lead ( shaky waters for us employees) it got messy. For me.
See I was the Fifth Floor Freak ( each floor, there being only 7 and really only 4 were used...had it's one outstanding staff member that got the Freak status....I was ours....maybe it was my purple hair?). Our new Lead was not pleased with the way I looked and treated me icily. Co-workers who had been cool with me in the past were giving me a very neutral shoulder ( if na a cold one completely).
Fine. They wanted to hate me I would give them a reason. I would beat all their quota numbers for the month. And I did. And then all of a sudden she was cool with me and then them again. !
Seriously though yeah. Sometimes it can just take the one strong energy ( or the power we give that person such as my lead) to throw everything haywire.
You wanna see something REALLY fun? Get two opposing energies to face off when both are on equal footing. Can you say staandstill?
At any rate energy itself is neutral. It's what you do with it that makes it interesting. If you want to send your own personal energy to someone then it is already charged by you. When you focus to send it, then you giving it a purpose. When you ( and I use "you " here as a general person term, na a pick pick on anyone) are low on energy it's easy to manipulate outwardly a situation that will feed you energy ( such as a person bitching and moaning to gain your attention/energy).
I've me a few PV in my time and some have been pleasant and others not so much. I'd venture to say that at any point we can all experience a PV moment within ourselves-- unintentionally of course!
There was a special on A&E awhile back about Vampirism as a lifestyle and the varying kinds (Psy, Sang). Two of my friends (that I've somehow lost contact with?) were guests on the show along with a well known pompous twat named Father Todd Sebastian.
Said friends are Psy Vamps but stick with one another-- they don't intentionally seek to feed off of other people unless invited to. I thought that was sweet.
Father Todd Sebastian...is a fucking fruit. Just straight up, off his rocker. The wheels are still turning in his head but the hamster is long dead.
I'm sure some of you have played Vampire The Masquerade and if you look it up it also had a Vampire Codex....which FTS took and made into the REAL VAMPIRES GUIDE (Or Codex). He also decided to dictate that should anyone break this code of conduct that they would be shunned from the Vampire community and so on. He's like a character Anne Rice never wanted to write.
The man is seen as the leader of the Vampire community and in my opinion has no business doing such. His influence over younger people is spellbinding and not for the better.
His newest name is sebastiaan van houten
Anyways, I'm always better at this stuff one on one but if you have questions, go ahead and ask? I've got a boat load of answers. If I can grab Amara back on here she'd be even better. She's the authority on Vamps and their nature, nurture and nourishment.
However he throws some pretty badass parties I've heard.

Okay okay so I found the link that I was looking for that can help give ppl a decent visual about what is happening between people on an unseen ( but definately felt) energy level.
Interesting. My only exposure to the phrase "psychic vampire" was from LeVay's Satanic Bible. Is this a concept with older origins? I interpret the phrase based on my own experience with people with "noisy auras" whose mere presence puts me on the defensive. Unless I misread, LeVay didn't really define what the phrase meant; perhaps he thought it obvious to his readers.
My first husband, Brent, is so totally a vampire! He will openly use people, lie, steal, and cheat to get exactly what he wants/needs. Then when he has it, he is gone. He has had countless girlfriends and when they figure out what he is, or get close to figuring out, he dumps them and immediately moves on to the next. He also has a collection of friends he can go to for certain things...
I need coffee, time to see friend A.
I want sex, time to see friend B.
I want to go to a concert, time to see friend C.
I want a cheerleader to make me feel better just because, time to see friend D.
He tells them what they want to hear so they will continue to pay for everything and pet his pride/ego/bruised whatever. Then comes no nonsense, coll em like I see em Kris. I point out when he is lying or being an ass and suddenly I'm the bad guy. Like when I tell him a 36 year old man should get a job and not live with his mom, he fires back with something to hurt me, then runs to another friend who's job is to make him feel better.
So what's the prize for feeding into Brent's energy? Absolutely nothing. He does nothing in return.
The cool thing here right now is that I have never heard (read) about this type of person from this point of view. Yet I seem to be a magnet for these people who want the world to revolve around them and they aren't exactly shy about it.
I made a "friend" here. The first person I wanted to call a friend. She turned out to be the type who checked herself into the psych ward every time she felt the least bit overwhelmed. Then she would text me all wimpery asking why I haven't visited her. Nevermind that I was dealing with two deaths 3 weeks apart. All she cared about was the fact that I didn't drop everything for her.
Ugh!
I need some healthy friends.
And by healthy, I mean crazy people who can juggle life and still treat people with respect and love.
So far, those people don't exist in Iowa.

I'm bumpin this thread up for all the new people here. I think it has some good information ( especially for empthies -read empathic people-) here. Though it is good info for everyone ( was na trying to section anyone out). Seriously. The thread of course derails and digresses like most do here....which is half the fun!
I read through it and er....disregard any posts regarding me with that evil "T" word. I'm still not riding that pony.
I got a ranch of horses I am bucking....one day when it behooves me *giggles at images of horses with no hooves*....what? You can "behead" so you can damn well "behoove" even if behoove means "in one's own better interest" and not to lop off the ankles of horses and ponies......see? That associative thinking thing again.
Anyways those equines might actually be easier to ride without hooves....I see I digress though......
Hope you all enjoy this oldie but goodie of a thread. Especially for those who are new or becoming more aware.
Love ya all!!!

Thanks for bumping this CS...I was really interested in Cloudrunner's explanation about how to avoid being a vamp.
My mom is a first class vampire and I realized it shortly after she moved in with us. I would get tired very easily, was in constant pain and it seemed like she was getting healthier while I was getting weaker. I finally figured out that somehow she was drawing off my energy so I figured out how to shield from her.
