Good book recommendation. I'll have to add that to my list. I recently read "How To Deal With Narcissists", which was highly informative as well.
There's also a concept called "Psychic Vampire". I'm not sure if there's much literature on it. I've known a few of them. I hung around one for a while. Every time I got near that guy, I was exhausted for days. I couldn't explain it. It's like I have nothing to show for that part of my life. Once we had a blow-out and I didn't have to deal with him anymore, I got my life back.
