Emotional Vampires

Hey guys,

I was doing some reading yesterday and came across the term "emotional vampires" these are extremely emotionally needy people.
From an article:
"They complain, boast, brag and some are all about self pity. The key is, they drain us and use us to dump on us feeling afterward energized, making us feel wiped out and with a huge headache. We feel our energy has been robbed..." http://www.ehow.com/how_2243972_reco...paign=yssp_art

I have heard the term before but yesterday I thought a lot about it. I think because I am a natural encourager, I tend to attract these people. I have seen a lot of them and I was just curious what other people thought about it. Maybe our resident counselor, or our AFF pastors can shed some light on it for us

Do you know any of these?
Do you think the church attracts these kinds of people?
What should be done about them?
