I am a psychic vampire. There are a few out there, not as many as you may think, but all of us is an energy leach sometime in their life. Now according to traditional books on these subjects, I have to define to you what I mean by the term 'psychic', 'vampire' and 'energy leach', which is boring. But if I must, I suppose I shall. All living creatures emit energy. A human emits a very complex range of energies. A psychic uses energy of the mind, body and emotion to 'read' people and situations. A psychic vampire feeds off this energy, so does an energy leech. But the latter is a temporary situation, the other is born with the need for energy, or they get sick. Simple enough? Probably too simple. I am going to complicate things a little now. Everyone of us has needed attention and energy at sometime in our lives. It is not a bad thing unless it become an addiction or there is an inbuilt trait of lack and need. This is where the lines get blurry. My question was, what is the difference between an energy leach and an unawakened psychic vampire, and the answer is, not much. A desperate energy leach can get enough and move on, a psychic vampire has a larger problem, was the initial answer.
