Psi Vamps are real?!

Hey guys! I apologize for the lack of blogging lately. I guess nothing really came to mind for me to type about. Of course, being me, not too much excitement goes on. Sure, I could post my thoughts every day, but who wants to open that can of worms? ...I say that jokingly. Haha.

For most of my readers who grab this link off of Facebook, you know that I am empathic. And if you don't know what that is, go to my FB profile and click on info, scroll down to the about me, and click the link I provided. It explains it all there. Anyway, being who I am, I am always learning about the complications of being more sensitive than other people. Sure, empathy is hardwired into each and every one of us, but with me being extra sensitive, there are certain precautions and steps that I must take in order to handle it. However, I was unaware that empaths have predators, and it almost went against me last Friday at the mall.

My three girlfriends and I decided that we needed to have a girls day together, so we planned the mall and dinner. Normally when I go out, the energy is pretty neutral and I don't pick up on it much. I would have to focus on one individual if I really wanted to get any sort of emotion through to me, and it's very rare that I get people who are appealing. For instance, I was drawn to three different people in high school (not going to name names) that had very good energy, so naturally I liked to be near them when I could. Same goes for college, only it was one person. It's usually guys who I get that attraction towards, and it's never intentional. It's just what it is. Anyway, we were all walking around for awhile, and things felt as neutral as ever. Then somewhere along the line someone mentioned lunch, so we all headed to the food court. Two of my friends went one direction, my other friend and I in the other. She stopped by DQ to get her chili dog and then came with me to Sbarros. That's the downfall for me. I hate being by myself when I go places, because I think that along with anxiety that runs in our family, if there isn't a form of energy nearby that I'm accustomed to and comfortable around, the energies around me are too much to handle. So I went to get my pizza, and as my friend and I made our way back to the table we had spotted earlier, I noticed another table nearby that was taken by three guys. The energy levels rose to a shocking degree, and I found myself becoming instantly nervous and hesitant, as well as drawn in and tempted. Therefore, I tried to choose a table that was a safe distance away that could seat four, but the safest one had something smeared on the table, and I'm one of those germaphobes. So I instantly decided against that. I didn't want to take anymore time searching for another table in fear that I would look like an idiot overlooking a clean, open table near the dirty one. So I had no choice but to choose the table that was about a yard and a half away from where the three guys sat. As we sat at the table, I glanced over at the full one and made eye contact with the guy facing me. That was where I made my mistake. He looked like he could be punk, a sort of on-the-edge, lets-have-fun kind of guy, and I found myself instantly distracted by his presence. I looked back to my friend, and the other two of our friends returned to the table we had chosen. I began trying to concentrate on my food and on the conversation at hand, but I could feel his eyes burning into my skin. No, not literally burning. But there was that intense feeling that he was watching me. My mind became scattered, and my nerves were on edge. I glanced over at him once more, and we again made eye contact. Danger, my mind said. Danger. Danger. But there was an unbearable temptation to get up and talk to him, to sit next to him and feel the energy take full control. I again struggled to concentrate on the conversation at hand, but my mind was reverting back to thoughts of the guy sitting across from me. I had never felt such a terrible urge to give in before, to walk over to him, just to be near him. Something about my empathy liked the rush, but I was smart enough to tell myself no, and my self-control was too powerful for my urge to overcome. However, it was difficult for me to think straight, and I again found myself making eye contact with him. Why was this so hard?

Finally, him and his friends left the food court, and shockingly, I realized that the food court was full of other people. It was almost like one of those moments where time around you stops dead in its tracks, and it feels like the only things moving are you and that person that you have full focus on. As I took a good look around, I could see the average "I have to work and I'm so bummed out" looks, and I could also see the casual, "Yes, we're a couple, just chit-chatting" looks. I wanted to get up and shout, "You didn't feel that?!" It reminded me of Freaky Friday, when the mom and daughter feel the earthquake, but no one else does. I realized it was my empathy that had made this strong connection, and later that night, I posted about it on Empath Community, which I consider my safe haven. Not too long after my post of what happened, I had a response from one of the users telling me to send her a message, so I added her as a friend and shot her a message about my forum post. She replied with, of course, new information. When I read the word "vampire", I was turned off.

However, I kept on reading, thinking, "This is going to be ridiculous. She's some crazy person." But the more I read, the more perplexed I was. The message is as follows:

"So basically your description basically reminds me of an energy vampire I actually used to see in my classes last semester.
How that guy messed up your concentration was actually on purpose because when we're not focused, it presents a vulnerability, leaving ourselves exposed. If you had your shield up at the mall, you may have forgotten about it and completely got rid of it while not focused. Considering that guy most likely was a psi vamp, he wanted to distract you to "borrow" your energy by making you scatter-brained.
By the way, empathic energy is far stronger and more appealing for psi vamps compared to the average person. Based on that, I assume your friend Jes isn't as strong as you, making you the target.
Once the guy left the table, you felt more calm and returned to your senses because psi vamps create confusion, nerve-wracking emotions and if they're more powerful ones, it's worse; we're talking the stronger ones can basically control people's minds...yeah you don't want to be in that position. A helpful tip is to NOT stare into their eyes, look at their shoulder or anywhere else except the eyes. It really bothers them if you avoid eye contact. Doing the latter allows you to retain your focus and lets you disconnect from psi vamps quicker.
I thought it was cute when you said:
"But his energy was really messing with my concentration, and I kept feeling a sense of danger mixed with a curiosity and temptation to sit next to him and talk to him."
A lot of us empaths feel that way in several situations so some people such as this guy use it to their advantage to attract empaths and people in general(they also happen to be physically attractive almost all the time, making it harder to resist getting closer). Their natural attraction is ridiculously strong and if not trained properly, it's more difficult to avoid it. Think of being pulled by a black hole or strong gravitational field.
Judging by how much time you and your friend were near that guy (a few minutes according to you), he probably did not have enough time to get what he wanted.
My advice to you is to becareful when you go to public and crowded places because you honestly don't know who you will come across. I believe if you were focused and had a shield up during the encounter, you may have not felt the guy as intensely as you did. Making your shield stronger in public areas wouldn't be a bad idea either.

It just happens that this guy at the mall is a psi vamp feeding at the people there, but not every stranger you come across is a psi vamp. So then what are they? Answer is, I'm not completely sure...but since these strangers are usually males for you, it's probably some part of you trying to tell you, "Oh I admire that guy's personality or physical chracteristics etc." and that your hand-picking what would be an ideal friend/boyfriend (you may favor certain types of energies over others). Do you notice a common trend among the stranger's you're attracted to? If so, then the above probably explains it."

I proceeded to message her back (I'll only include the psi vamp portion): "Wow!! I had no idea that there were such things as psi vamps... are there any other types of people such as this that I need to be aware of so that I can better prepare myself? This guy at the mall, it was just crazy because he was very intense. I think my first mistake was making eye contact, because after that, it was hard to focus on anything. And like I said, when I wasn't looking at him, it was like I could feel his eyes burning into my skin. I would be part of my groups conversation for mere seconds before my mind diverted itself back to being aware of the energy I was feeling. When I talked to Jes about it, she said she felt more of an attraction than anything, but my brain was saying "danger" for some reason. He could have very well been a psi vamp for all I know. It's just shocking, that concept. I've never run into anyone who *seemingly* purposely burned their attention into my mind. After they left, I looked around me and took a good look at who was in the food court. Everyone there looked bored or were in normal conversations, and I almost felt like saying to everyone, "You didn't feel that?" *thinks of Freaky Friday and laughs*."

She then said: "His eyes burning seeming as if they burned into your skin is a typical occurance in run-ins with ev's (energy vampires). Average people, if they're targeted or even if they're HSPs or slightly weaker empaths will feel the attraction regardless. You alternating between your group conversation and glancing at the guy seems to lean towards the hypnotic side. But overall you were mezmerized by him. Burning attention into a person's mind is so that ev can infiltrate your mind and mess with it. I've been there and let me tell you it is not fun whatsoever. The annoyance of having their image in your mind is an even bigger distraction for the same purpose. Ev's are manipulative in the mental sense which makes them dangerous when planning psi attacks or just finding a way for you to give them energy. The concept can be shocking at first but I mean if there are healers, there would naturally be those that steal energy and damage others. Speaking of damage, if you let an ev drain you too much, it can cause lightheadedness, fainting, weakness and nausea. I'm not trying to scare you but it's better to be aware of that before it all goes down. As for the others in the cafeteria they wouldn't feel it because ev's tend to focus on an individual, more so the strongest one out of a nearby group of people."

I then replied: "I do have another question. Are psi vamps basically the predators in the empath world? And exactly how harmful and dangerous can they be? Also, are they aware of being psi vamps? I mean, obviously all of us know we are empaths, but we have had to depend our gut and self-discovery and urge to seek knowledge in order to figure it out. Psi vamps must go through the same process, right? I'm picturing these psi vamps as mosquitoes in my mind."

Her final response was, "Yep. Psi vamps are in fact predators that prey not only on empaths if they find them but normal people as well. They can range anywhere from a 1 to a 10 but it depends how strong you are as an empath. The stronger, the more attention you attract from psi vamps. Psi vamps can be anywhere between a small nusiance to a difficult emtional and physical struggle for an empath.
And yes, psi vamps sometimes are not even aware they're psi vamps but some know they are without a doubt. I suppose when they realize they are psi vamps, they begin expanding on the existing knowledge about their kind. Sometimes there are cases where even normal people can drain empaths unconsciously but that doesn't always make them a psi vamp. In addition, some follow rules like empaths by feeding off a donor giving his/her consent while some are called rogue psi vamps because they break the rules and follow no one else's but their own."

I figured that copying and pasting the conversation would be easier than me trying to explain all of this, because it is new info to me. But I realize now that there is a lot more to learn by being what I am, and I even went so far as to research psi vamps and had found a forum on the internet for them. I felt like I was in danger just by being on the website. I do need to practice my shielding (which is shielding myself from outside sources of energy) in order to avoid something like this from happening.

I know that there are a lot of skeptics out there who don't believe in this stuff. But it's a very real reality for me, and I don't want to suppress it in fear of getting myself into trouble and hurting my emotions. So don't try to convince me that this is all in my head, because I won't believe you.
