Psychic vampires are people believed to drain the emotional or mental energy of others, leaving their victims feeling exhausted, anxious, or depleted.
The term originates in occult and New Age traditions but has crossed over into everyday usage to describe demanding, manipulative, or emotionally draining individuals.

Unlike the blood-drinking variety, psychic vampires feed on attention, sympathy, or conflict rather than plasma.
