I don't know I was born this way. I will let you decide.. I hate garlic, blahh, I stay away from the sun(I burn in a short time, sunblock doesn't help for long), I feel and see spirits that might explain why I can't go in other peoples houses, it doesn't if they invite me or not. I feel other peoples energy whether good or bad. I love and crave blood, I've tried to deni it but after a curtain time it overwelms me. I enjoy my meat as rare as possible. Highly miss the Middle Ages, granted the medicine wasn't great, but non the less. My sense of smell is very high and last but not least my....teeth..... You can think what you like I can not hide the truth for long. Eventually you will know.
What is there to be afraid of? I don't threaten people. I don't like the way hollywood perceives vampires they are very mythical. I am not conveying anything you asked a question and I gave you an answer. No need to be rude or feel threatened. If you knew me you would understand.
That is why I have only one friend, 14 years now I will be leaving her in about 17 and a half years to go to Europe. Live yet another life. Friends come and go it is life.
