Greetings,

In my experience I and many others are aware of the ridicule that comes from the public but also comes from friends, family, work, and even love ones in our lives. Many of us have experienced this and our lives have been impacted in an adverse way, thereby creating added stress and emotional strife in addition to already dealing with the other problems of life such as maintaining work and an income, housing, and other relationships. People with real vampirism are often then forced to "hide" their vampirism from the public and friends, work, and family. This makes it more difficult to establish successful relationships, especially with a mate.

I use to keep my vampirism to myself early in my life because I knew about the problems I would have with family and friends. I now for the last twenty years have been very open about my vampirism with both the public and people who know me. Of course I have gone thru the ridicule and disbelief of family and friends, and even belittling and attacks on my character. I now for a long time have just ignored these problems since I have been a very public person with my work in educating the community about the realities and misconceptions of real vampirism. So for many years, people who know me know about my vampirism. I will talk with just about anyone who wants to know about the subject as long as the discussion is not in the realm of personal belittling. I have learned to ignore the ridicule and disbelief and it does not really affect me anymore. Maybe I am now use to it having dealt with it for over thirty years. I can understand how difficult it is for younger people who have not experienced it as I have. Losing the support and respect of friends and family is no easy thing to experience.
