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.
Read this book. It covers what you're talking about in great detail.
Being exposed to each of the vampire personality types weighs you down in different ways.
