h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

A " " by j`z`c brought to mind a group of people I want to talk about.I call them..'psychic vampires'.. These are the type of people who drain you~psychic-ly.I call them psychic-vampires.After chat w/1 of the breed-you feel drained/tired/mentally out-of-it. So, to j`z`c for making me remember `dem types?? Anyone know what I refer to? Neugen

Oh, definitely, Neugen! I try (really make a very concious effort) to limit/minimize my contact with them .

Oh yes! They are bad news.
Great name
I will remember that one

guys!<love N

I should've added, Neugen, that there're always the new ones that 'pop up' unexpectedly , at that point you kind of make a mental note to pretty much "avoid at all costs!".

Wise man

abbi...I never considered it especially wise - sort of self preservation, but I guess I am picking up bits & pieces of wisdom with all this salt in my 'salt 'n' pepper' beard .

I've always called them thought suckers.
Kinda like a walking black hole.
They drain you of all light, thought and will to live beyond shortening their existence.

I encounter these people at church sometimes.
I used to run into them a lot when I was in retail.

They seem to have a problem with the fact that you just can't get there from here sometimes.
They are the kind of people who believe that everyone is entitled to the same opinion. Theirs.

Well said, tonsil revenge, about one opinion...theirs!

The fact hasn't been born yet that will penetrate their armor of ignorance.

Fact? More likely to take some violent life-altering experience to make any sort of impression on some of 'em...its 'my way, or the highway!'

And you'd like to apply a dirty hanky as a blindfold and intimately introduce them to the highway...

I've met some who believe that God must love them because he doesn't strike them down when they speak. Right and wrong are just sides of the bread to them. You be wrong and they be up.

And they've got the only vehicles,...powered bynnarrowmindedness!

The only vehicles you NEED blinders to drive .

I've been known to be a little exclusionarily focussed.

Yot too,huh?...but not always!

Guys-It`s how they live-I`ve lost.oh,a sewing machine/my favorite short black dress/etc. when I just cut contact w/them.It dawned on me,after being kept up all night(literally)W/a 'friend`s'calls-they do indeed suck the life-force out of you-they will take all you give-& want more...N

*Looking around the room at the things I've forgotten to return...*

*contemplating the things I miss that I wish I hadn't loaned out...*

Other people's stuff + my stuff = balance

Unless I'm self-deluding...

I must admit that I have had to learn to be less 'needy' of other people. I must remember to thank all the people who put up with my leechiness and vampirism over the years.

Oops... If I carry this too far, I will have to give my spousal unit that divorce she's been yapping about for twelve years (since two months after the wedding), 'cause she thinks I take up too much space in her life!

The more I think about this stuff, the more I like my .

Ya! do not siphon the life out of you!

Is'nt it amazing how all those dogs live with all those different kinds of people and *fit* in however they canAcepting what ever they are given. Co-dependant for sure!

Not that there is anything wrong with cats Their ways are clearly not as co-dependant. You gotta love them too!

Not right now.
Chased an escaped cat around the neigborhood yesterday afternoon.
Neighbor found him in his bushes.

We don't want him loose because we haven't gotten him fixed and tagged, yet.
