Any group activity when it seizes your heart is zombieficiation. A schoolchild singing praise without understanding the whole of what is being praised zombie, an old person following hard learned emotional patterns of action which seem good but since no one else has stopped to think of them, zombie, and so forth.
People reading religious works and then encouraging the lack of use of learned magic, zombies and so forth.
Vampires, Any entity aware of the need for constant nourishment from other selves or a vanishing of experience. Usually PTSD and other traumas based around the need to relive / call to self attention are forms of vampirism. Usually most forms of psychiatric discussions arising from problem/solver paradigm are vampirisims favoring the one pretending to have a problem.
I would say most people are at least partially Zombie/Vampire at most times, but like to pretend like they are not, and that perhaps is the point.
Oh woe is me, I'm not sucking energy and attention from all of you by constantly wanting others to engage in and solve my problems with/for me, Oh woe is me...
and
You musn't do that, that is against the described precepts of our religion, it can result in harm to yourself...
Both maybe seen to be common ailments of modern humanity.
Solution to the first one is;
"Hey, how awesome, I have this attribute that enables me to have a unique point of view, there must be something I can do with this viewpoint that no one else can do, can you guys work me so I can find it, Maybe have like projects that I can be invited to so I can work on my talents that this thing provides me with?"
Solution to the second one is;
"Hey, how awesome, you're willing to take a great personal risk for us, while I would prefer it that no one is ever hurt and everyone lives healithly and forever, we're all slowly dying organisms and I choose to contain my worry for your safety so that I may, instead, express admiration and support for your step of going outside of the box, when you're done, the box will still be here. Have a fun ride!"
That being just a personal observation ofcourse.
