An emotional vampire, no not the blood sucking monster that you’re used to reading about these days, (or in the case of twilight, the glittery hunks); An emotional vampire does pretty much the same as the above mentioned blood suckers only instead of blood they gain strength by feeding off of your emotions.

I can tell you guys are looking like, how could someone possibly feed off of your emotions? Well, I am a living witness that these creatures do exist. They may not have fangs, sleep in coffins, or come out at night time but I think that makes them even more dangerous.

They can be your beautiful new girlfriend or boyfriend that currently has you on an ongoing emotional rollercoaster ride you just cant seem to get off of; your mother or father who constantly makes you feel bad about something yet you don’t know what you did, or that bestfriend that likes to make it seem like you’ve neglected them when all you’ve done is miss a text. Trust me, the vampires can be surrounding you and you wont even know it.

So. to protect you from the emotion feeding soul suckers ive gathered 10 basic characteristics of an emotional vampire and hopefully it helps you to realize that you’ve been letting these people dine on you with little to no reward.
