Vampires I have known (but not neccessarily loved)

[Guest guest]

As far as I can feel it out, we interact energetically all the time with people

and places. I've

experienced some people (and places!) that do either have a surplus that they

radiate, or

seem to suck in your strength.

 

In my experience,, I've dealt wth two basic types of energy-suckers--

 

Some people are parasites, suffering deficiencies that naturally cause them to

draw energy

fro others, and I'd guess we've all done a bit if this one time or another.

Illness &

depression can cause it, but so, it seems, can upbringing & installed beliefs. I

know some

deficient people who I'm happy to help. Their's is usually caused by some

genuine illness

or injury, and sharing with them helps them and me, and they only take a little.

Others are

kind of set in their ways, they're the ones that make you feel really drained,

because they

can't be filled, or they've been so injured that it's more than one person can

do. Those are

the ones who make people avoid them, making the deficinecy greater.

 

Then there are the Vampires, and I've met a few. They usually drain you

chronically, but

unlike the parasite who will take whatever fills them all at once, the vampires

usually draw

a steady drain, sometimes so little that you barely feel it, but they do it

consistently. Much

more interesting is that they make you want to give them. They're the friends

who seem

like they'll be such fun once you get them over their hump, or who touch your

desire to

nurture or protect them.

 

Parasites are opportunists, but vampires are more like hunters, they come in

campoflage,

and usually more deliberate in their actions.

 

 

Cheers,

Jeff

Hi Jeff,

 

Your post about parasite and vampires was fun to read...

 

....and it also confused me.

 

Could you give examples for your last paragraph, so we are NOT

hallucinating what you meant?

OK, but remember my examples are from experience, and so probably not a very

complete

picture--I don't have a very complete pic.

 

I'm guessing we all agree on the parasite--they need your energy. Maybe they

feel unloved

or are experiencing some sort of vacuity. They draw energy indescriminately from

their

surroundings. People who can offer a source to feed off of attract them, and

they go for it.

You feel their energy drain, and either you tolerate it, if you know youre

helping, or you

get repelled by it. But the hallamrk is some sort of neediness.

 

The Vampires I'm thinnking of are a little different.

 

One 'vampire' I met was at a new age yoga lecture. He was csitting a few feet

away, with

his girlfriend, and I was having a conversation with the woman sitting next to

me. When

the place got crowded, just before the lecture began, I heard him tell his gal

" I've got to go

say hello to people. " I don't know why I noticed, but I saw him do the

rounds--going up to

women he knew, taking their hands & kissing their cheeks. Each one was delighted

to see

him, and happily offered up hands & cheeks. he exchanges very few words, just

some

quick pleasantries, but as he walked away, the women seemed..fatigued. I don't

know that

much about energy, but I fancied I could see them being 'deflated.' I turned

back to the

woman I was talking to & we got engrossed in some chatter. A few minutes later

the

conversation as interrupted as Vampire dude stepped up to the woman, & grabbed

her

hands to get her attention. She yelped a delighted 'hello! " and he reached

forward and

kissed her cheeks one, two, three times, then turned and walked away. The woman

seemed drained & entranced--for a few moments, her unfocussed eyes stared into

space

& her hands hung in the air where he'd left them. Then she sighed slowly, took a

deep

breath, and turned back to me. I asked her if she knew him well. She took

another deep

breath and said " not well, but he's got such a great energy! "

 

I've also known people who attract people, often people more strong and stable

than they

are, and gradually get them more involved in 'helping' them in some way (I've

had

girlfriends like this--anybody else?). If you're on the outside looking in, you

can see it as a

long term feeding situation. Some folks like this attract a big following. The

followers feel

a satisfaction at being abe to help (fed off of). To me it seems like an Aka

cord attached to

a pneumatic pump--it's an intimate-feeling connection.

 

Hows that?
