I would avoid the unhealthy ones because you are right, it will suck all the emotional energy right out of you.
They are not getting what they need and may not know how to ask for it. I also agree that it comes from some self esteem issues and sometimes it is the narcassism coming out. Obviously they are trying to fill some void.
