This is an easy answer, same as any other day of the year. Explain what true
vampiric condition is, then explain what a Hollywood vampire is. I also have
extensive knowledge of the "historical vampire". People like Vlad Tepes and
Erzabeth Bathory come into the conversation quite often, such as people
asking me do you think so and so in history was the first real vampire? What
do you think of Bram Stoker's Dracula? Etc etc etc. The conversation
actually turns out (most of the time) to be a constructive and fulfilling
conversation with the person. I think most of the time most people walk away
from me genuinely knowing a little more about our community and less of the
"myth" that we are just fetishist or psychotic killers. It's definitely
gratifying to see someone go "oh, I didn't think of it that way, that's
pretty neat". There are the extreme skeptics like the medical field (i.e.
nurses and doctors not in the research field of this condition, nor never
heard of it). I have a friend that is a nurse who constantly argues with me
that using "greens" will compensate for my "lack of energy". She does not
want to hear of anything else other than it is a chemical imbalance that
causes fatigue syndrome and nothing else. There are people like that but the
majority I have spoken to are very open minded and welcoming to the new
ideas I am presenting.
