As I mentioned in the link, 'Am I a vampire?' is a far more common question than many would think. The major reason for this is the complete inability of the vampiric community to define 'vampire'. There is always an exception to any rule, and these exceptions make it very clear that they don't apreciate being left out of the general definition. This situation is only worsened by the complete lack of trust in many - Claims of fake vampires, roleplayers and self-delusional idiots being rife in many areas. It's a vicious circle - Without a standard definition of a 'vampire', we cannot trust people who claim to be vampires, so we do not know if their 'abilities' are real or not, so we don't know if they should be inluded in the definition ... And so on. You get the idea, i'm sure.
At the end of the day, i'm afraid, it comes down to the simple question - 'Do you think you are a vampire?' Chances are, if you are wondering if you are a vampire, you probably are. However - How to get rid of those nagging doubts? You can't. At least, not easily. You must be happy with yourself, whatever you are, and must learn to accept yourself as you are, vampire or not, before you can shake loose any nagging doubts about your 'nature'.
Still - You obviously can't be expected to decide upon your nature without having the facts at hand, so my advice would be to read all the pages of this site, follow the links to other sites, fill in my questionnaire, and finally - Talk to other vampires. After all - Most of them will have gone through the same thing as you're going through and will be more than willing to help you through your crisis. If you do all this, you should have enough information to decide on your nature.
But always remember - You must be happy with yourself no matter what. If you're unhappy as a non-vamp, becoming a vampire will, if anything, only make you worse. No battle was ever won by running away from it.
The following is a list of links to pages which deal specifically with the question 'Am I a vampire?' If you know of any other pages which are not listed here, or if you have been through this self-crisis, and have any advice to give to those unsure of their nature, please send me an e-mail. |
