Years ago I read the book “Celestine Prophecy”.
This article about 'Energy Vampires' pretty much sums it up,

Energy Vampires
A few insights in the book “Celestine Prophecy” talk about the flow of energy between people. They explain that we are always circulating energy in our lives, be it between people or divinity, but wherever we get it from, it makes us feel good. If we don’t get our energy from God and nature (particularly from big old forests, as the book says), we will “steal” it from other people. We steal energy from others using our favorite interpersonal methods, like interrogating people, arguing, acting aloof so that others will come and interrogate us, etc. So, when we wrap people up in our own dramas, we steal that person’s energy.
Now think of that for a moment. How do YOU steal energy? Do you find yourself insulting people? Do you talk their ears off like a motor-mouth? Can no one live up to your expectations? Yup, you steal energy because you don’t get enough of it from divinity. In short, anything you do to get attention from others means you’re looking for energy.
* Poor Me – We make others feel guilty for not doing enough for us. When he or she buys into this “guilt trip”, we gain energy.
* Aloof – We remain detached, secretive, and vague in hopes to entice someone into chasing us around in order to figure us out. Energy is gained from the attention.
* Interrogator – We attempt to control others by “finding fault” and making others feel self-conscious.
* Intimidator – We win energy by frightening others into paying attention.
In order to progress spiritually, we need to identify the drama/dramas that apply to us and when they occur, we need to control and subdue them. By analyzing our parents and their own control dramas we can understand the two points of view that were integrated into our early lives. We can also understand where our own dramas originated from and why.
Have you ever faced negative people before? If you are regularly exposed to a fair diversity of people, chances are you probably encountered at least a few negative people before, with 1 or 2 really negative ones. How do you feel after your encounters with them?
Negative people tend to leave others around them drained, tired and lethargic. No matter what you try to say, they always seem to find a way to counter with a negative opinion of sorts. When they face a problem, they soak themselves in the issue rather than deal with it constructively. They adopt a self-victimizing mindset, complaining about whatever happens.
Even when you try to change the topic to something positive, they have a way to turn it into something negative. They are constantly fixated with the doom and gloom of (their) life. Everything is black; there is no white. In the event there is some element of positivity that enters their spectrum, they are quick to excuse that as a one-off encounter or see the dark side behind that.
To negative people, life just sucks.
Negative People as Energy Vampires
Negative people are referred to as energy vampires, for two reasons:
1. Vampires are incapable of generating their life force (blood), just like negative people are unable to obtain their own energy. As such, vampires rely on living beings around them to keep themselves alive, while negative people seek out others to feed off the energy of them.
2. Vampires convert living beings into their kind because they feel lonely living in solitude; negative people seek to bring others on board their sinking ships because they feel miserable by themselves.
The reason why negative people suck energy from others is because they have blocked off their inner energy source. If you studied Chemistry before, you would know molecules move from a place of higher concentration to a place of lower concentration. Since the negative people lack energy, they become walking vortexes, sucking in whatever energy is around them. This can occur in 2 ways: (1) an active attempt (aggressive negative people who try to cast their negativity around them) or (2) an unconscious effect (passive negative people). Either way, people are usually left drained in their presence.
For the more negative people, the effect can be so overwhelming that you feel headaches or mild dizziness. I refer to them the king or queen energy vampires.
On the other hand, positive people are in tune with their inner energy sources. Their energy flows outwards, spreading goodness and warmth to people around them. It’s like a fountain of overflowing water. This is why you feel upbeat and energetic when you are around positive people. They have a magnetic quality to them, drawing others automatically. Great leaders, iconic figures and idols have this in them, enabling them to attract large masses of people.

) can be looked upon as predictable predation. It is like in exchange for a constant, predictable food supply, and for shelter and protection from unpredictable predation by wolves, etc., animals like cattle and sheep, etc., have decided as a species to opt for predictable, controlled predation by humans. It is like they gave up the stressful freedom of the wild with its random, unpredictable predation to opt for the safety of domestication with its predictable predation, i.e. harvesting.
