Does that mean when others have problems, you shouldn't stop to listen and lend a hand?

In that case, I won't call or write to anyone when I need to reach out for support when I'm down because I might be considered to be a vampire. People sometimes make me feel worn out because they are overwhelmed with life, but if I don't let them drain a little of my strength, then how can I turn around and grab some of theirs when I'm weak?

Chatterers. They need the energy of others to keep them going. The louder the chatter, the emptier the life.

Come here....I want to bite your neck!

csfb is right. some people chatter non-stop - probably do have an empty life. sharing problems is ok - but we all know people who seem to have problems all the time.
