Yes, they are called energetic leeches. This, of course, happens when you, the one having energy taken away from, allows it to happen because you are not well grounded, unaware of how to replenish your energy, and how to stop it from happening in the first place. |
| Updown | | posted 27-Jul-2005 11:56am |
Absolutely. You can also have energy transfered to you by others. I am not speaking in terms of kinetic energy or electricity but spiritual energy. |

I guess. I believe lethargy can be contagious. And I believe some people are just draining to deal with. |
cerealkiller   | | posted 27-Jul-2005 12:30pm |
Definitely true. Extraverts leave intraverts like me drained mentally and physically. Same goes for noisy crowded locations. I like quiet. |

Yes, I believe this and have experienced it. I don't think it's an intentional thing, though. I really don't even think people are aware that they do this to others, at least the majority. |

In a very cosmic sense, the metaphysical realm is a dream made up for pure love. I believe that love (as in the case of honeybees who are able to change shapes), is pure energy...merely taking the shape of love. The shapes may change but it is pure energy. I believe that we are never without energy...so can someone take it away from me??? No, but I do think I rechannel energy when I come upon such a person. |

it's funny...i read your response and I have a name for them too...emotional vampires - they suck the lifeblood right out of you until there's nothing left for you to give if you allow it...feeding off your emotional energy. I stay far, far away from them. |

We go on journeys through the infra-structure of the time/space continuum....through vast regions of etco/endo thought patterns, we will glide down the astral sphere of history... where all that is one, is all there is. |

Well, alas, we are going on another special journey through the trans-dimensional phanosphere, down ethereal hills and stellar streams where rainbows and love shimmer in gold, so much joy......right after I eat my grilled cheese sandwich during Seinfield and Kristal has to get a wart removed from her foot. |

I don't believe that people can "take" your energy from you. Certainly interactions with some people can be exhausting, but it's not what I would call "taking" your energy, which would be different. |

Yeah, in deed, this is what happens with me sometime. There are a lot of people that they take our energy, they steal it, I don't know how, but it's they way they deal with people, they leave us so tired, sad, exhausted, pessimistic... I ususally try to stay away of them cause they really can steal my energy, especially when i'm happy, they come and say "Hi verouge! you look so happy!! why?? ...(blablabla.. bullcrap).... and then they start to take "absorb" your energy.. |
| verouge | | (reply to romkey) posted 28-Jul-2005 2:56am |
No, it happens, if you believe in Newton principles, you should believe in this. Our bodies are transmitters for energy, that’s why sometimes you feel in electrical charges when touching another person sometimes. This follows the same principle of the “spiritual energy” which is transmitted by unseen charges, and can change your mood, it’s not evaporated, it’s just transmitted from you to the other, they suck your energy; if you were positive you would be null and they become more positive, and if you were negative, you become null or positive and they become negative. It’s “quit-pro-quo” – take and give, operation of exchanging charges... |

I do believe in Newtonian principles, but they have nothing to do with the exchange of "spiritual energy". Certainly your mood can change, but it's simply in response to external stimuli. I dislike the phrasing "take your energy" because some people use it as a crutch to absolve themselves of responsibility for their own reaction to their environment. |
| iamdonte |
Yep, leeches and vampires....I know them well. It is a good thing to stay away from those you can't protect yourself against. I just wish i could do that with my partner's father....unfortunately, he lives with us so that makes it all the more difficult. |

I can see what you are talking about, but I feel that it's nothing but "exchange of charges". I do believe that human mood and feelings work on chemical charges, you may not see it or feel it, at least, this is what I have learned in my courses and read in books, but they exist... It’s a complicated “IDEA”; did you ever feel that someone had taken your total energy after he left you or something like that? They steal your active-power so easily; you cannot even feel that it’s because of them; their charges have the power to attract yours with no effort!! If you believe that the whole world is chemical reactions, you should believe that human body is the same, and then your mood which comes from your brain (chemical components) is also some chemical reactions, as we all know, chemical reactions are an exchange of atoms and charges; like this, when two people talk, their outside-charges will be exchanged, these ones contains some of your feelings charges and during interaction and throughout the air the exchange will unfortunately happen… |

My brother told me that the reason that children have so much energy is that they suck it out of their parents. I asked my buddy who is a Physics professor if he thought that was true and he thought about it for a while and said "Yes". Then, just to test him, I asked if time was money. He thought about that and said "No". |

That's a way to think about it, but in terms of how things work I don't think there's anything in reality to support the model. |

Interesting sites. I haven't touched much of that stuff in years. Intriguing, but it can get scary and make one wonder about their purpose when reality becomes too virtual. On the other hand, once you lose that virtual reality, you're still back to wondering about right purpose. I was internally using the name Gomez myself a few years back. |

Yes, users can indeed suck you dry.
We had a wonderful back-up guitar player, but he was an alcoholic and very "labor intensive" for the whole band. He had a meltdown and actually walked off the stage during a gig. We miss his music, but not him. |

He was some American dude covered in tattoos who came into our school to teach us that being mean is bad. He used the idea or positive and negative energy to demonstrate. It was basically karma. It's just, he was so irritating about it. Like it was scientifically proven.

weird!
If someone like that would have come to my school as a teen, I would have been tempted to subtly mess with a friend next to me, almost pretending to be mean to each other, in a quiet non distracting way. |
| Melf | | (reply to LindaH) posted 23-Jul-2008 9:47pm |
 He had some good original points - when it came to don't judge by looks, and all that kind of thing - but he sort of felt like a novelty that wore off very quickly. He shot me a very dirty look at one point - Someone had asked him about his moustache; he said 'Yeah, I'm constantly looking at it in the mirror' and I muttered 'that's vain.' a little louder than intended. |
