Psychic Vampires | Forum

A Psychic Vampire, by my definition is someone who drains you both physically and mentally. A “Psychic Vampire” is someone that always wants something from you but never gives anything back in return.

These people are worthless to you and society. They want nothing more than to take everything you could possibly offer them and not give you anything in return, you want to call these people out as what they are, you want to destroy them in anyway you can. Although the ‘Path of Transition’ is based on Self-Preservation and it a “put yourself first” ideology, the ‘Path of Transition’ also teaches “Honour” and “Loyalty” which I wrote about in an early post.

If you are going to ask a favour of someone, you should be willing to help them when they ask because if you help them, you are more than likely going to want to be able to call on them when you need something. Taking from someone without giving anything in return is hypocrisy and is not valued highly on the ‘Path of Transition’.

Throughout life you will meet many people that fit the description of a ‘Psychic Vampire’ and as a “follower” of the ‘Path of Transition’ it would serve well to unmask these people for what they truly are. They are leaches, parasites and as such they are unworthy of your time, effort and energy.

Do not waste time on those that serve you no purpose, cast the unworthy aside as to make room for others.

Don’t let others keep you down, your main aim is to remain true and honourable while fulfilling your desires throughout life. Those that try to stop you from doing this are your enemies and should be treated as such.

@Padowan:

The victim mentality is a reliable cue. :)

@Jordan Power:

Kudos on this, with a few reservations but only because I don't know what you mean by "The Path of Transition", Honor, and Loyalty -- especially capitilized. I prefer the path of good business, best summed up by Jake the Dog: "Bad biskits make the baker broke, yo."

" it would serve well to unmask these people for what they truly are. They are leaches, parasites and as such they are unworthy of your time, effort and energy."

It would serve who? Certainly not them, because it's the last thing they want. They need to remain unseen as they are to do what they do. Nothing pisses them off more than someone who gets wise to them. If they know that you know -- or even suspect it -- they will wage a smear campaign against you to utterly. Not only are they shitty people, revealing a psychic vampire is the equivalent of killing it, so revealing them puts them in a situation where they will use the most underhanded tactics in a fight for their own "survival."

So, it's one thing to remove one from your neck (depending on how deep the  angs have worked their way in and the degree to which they have the ability to hold your life hostage), and it's another to reveal them. Hell, most people won't believe you for awhile anyway, and the psychic vampire will claim that you telling the truth about them is a way for you to victimize THEM. Never underestimate the ability of a psychic vampire to flip the truth to make themselves look like the victim and you as the aggressor.

So, it doesn't serve you, either. This cure is often much more costly than the disease. It's best to treat them like a mushroom -- keep them in the dark and feed them shit.

"Do not waste time on those that serve you no purpose, cast the unworthy aside as to make room for others."

I'd say "Don't waste your time on those who waste yours, don't waste energy on those who burn yours, make unreasonable demands, etc -- cast aside as to make room for others."

A lot of the standard list items apply to this, but this one comes to mind more than others.

* Kindness to those who deserve it, not love wasted on ingrates!

* Responsibility to the responsible, instead of concern for psychic vampires!

This webpage sums up how a psychic vampire drains -- through fear, obligation, and guilt.

And this goes into the specifics of the games the play:

"Don't sustain any situation or relationship where you do not have the option to say "no" where it is reasonable to do so. Nobody who is a true friend will demand "yes" 100% of the time. "

The most naked version of the obligation game is when a psychic vampire forces a 'gift' you didn't ask for onto you. It's not as simple as saying "no" because then they'll guilt or otherwise pressure or manipulate you into taking it -- only to extract the "cost" of whatever it was through passive aggressive behavior many times over. There's nothing a psychic vampire loves more than something they can hold over your head.
