My take on it is that I wasn't taking anyone's energy. In all likeliness what was happening is that their shadows were coming to the surface and I was partly the trigger.
I did consider the notion that I could be taking energy unconsciously because I know I had a lot of vampiric traits when I was neutral and it would only make sense that it would be somehow augmented through polarization until the block cleared. Maybe that happened, I don't know. It's hard to imagine it could occur over such a distance, especially without conscious intent behind it, but I know that even though 80% to 90% of the variables involved in human interaction are removed when communicating through text there's still an energy exchange.
The reason I don't think I was the cause is because, at least in blossom's case, it happened after she started talking about some of the **** she went through. I know from personal experience that when you start digging for the root of your pain it's going to hurt like hell and you're going to feel like somebody took the wind out of your sails. I remember being knocked off my feet for a whole weekend once because I brought suppressed anger to the surface. If I was drawing energy from anyone it's likely because the other person became aware of an energy leak they haven't patched up and it came to light while they were talking to me. I would suggest running a diagnostic of sorts and checking to see if energy is unconsciously flowing to other people they didn't mean to give it to. That's the only way to ascertain what's really going on.
With that said, I rule nothing out and I have no intention of being a vampire. I told blossom that if it ever feels like talking to me drains her I want her to tell me so that it can be resolved. After all, I'm still in the early stages of all this and I have a lot of learning to do. You don't give the guards the night off just because no one is encroaching on the castle. If there were such a void inside of me it has to be taken care of otherwise it's just going to hamstring me at a critical time down the road.
