The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

i have a lot of problems at school
people just look at me now a year after my pic was taken, a vampire and they call me names like vampy and rude comments like that if u were faced with this what would u do. or if someone called u nuts because u did believe what would u answer?

It would probably begin in F and end in F

Something that most of us have to deal with,welcome to life.

People will always judge something that is not defiend as ''normal'' meaning popular,even if you aren't in the gothic or vampiric life style.

I got bullied all my life and survived for 21 years.

Am still called the ugly poor goth wanna be vampire.

Thing is I ever mentioned vampires with these people(I choose people to discuss this subject) but no they always want to judge for the visual since where I live it's said that goths are wannabe vampires.

I would say be yourself and ignore them that's the best answer you can give.

Ades answer would be preferable though, it often helps in avoiding the smack in the mout i would recieve

mouth

i wouldn't care if someone doesn't beleif in vamps.

but if they ridicule me for my beleifs they would find a sharp piece of metal between their ribs.

A way to respond is to ignore them but it takes a long and tough time.
You can also agree with them, they'll get bored.
Love your enemy, it's the best way to get on their nerves...

i try to make thme understand what it is in truth and that im not evil lbut they wont listen there all a bunch of preps who gtet on my nerves

I feel also to add,be careful with who you talk about certain topics.

I don't talk about vampires with everyone.

Choose your people.

Certain subjects aren't for everyone.

If you speak wit the wrong people than it would be your fault even tough they have no rights in ridiculing you.

And stay calm,hate doesn't get fought with more hate.

Ignorance ist he bliss,even tough it's the most hard thing.

But I know about this.Been there done that.

Then don't tell them what you are.

We weren't born yesterday.

We ALL know that not everyone is open minded about this subject.

So let them enjoy their stupidity.Don't waste your time with them.The real people you should trust are those who would accept and beleive you for who you are.

I have been through the same as you, which is why I do not run around telling everybody...

If people do not belive me it is their own choise, we cannot force them and it would be stupid to do so...

as long as YOU are aware of your "current condition" as my ex used to say, that is what really matters.... Let people know that if you want their oppinion you will ask for it, and if you do so, be prepared, because it can be rude..

so basicly you do not say anything to them, because they cannot understand it, it is simply to big..

I would tell them to F!@# off, or i would agree that im crazy and all the rued stuff that they say to me and sooner or later they would leeve me alon. You can try that if you wont, belive me it works.

i dont have to tell them what i am they guess
in truth their all scared of me

The say you aren't prolly they're saying you a vampire to ridicule you not cause they really believe so.If so how come they think you're nuts?

I get called wanna be vampire and goth all the time and I've never said I am any of the two.

well i am also wiccan and i wear pentagrams and so they call me evil and crazy i dont know its a preps school what can u ezpect

Ruby,
I can sympathize with you. I am an adult, work with all so called adults and in my department, I keep to myself. I dont bother anyone at all. I have been called a satanist, a witch, a vamp. etc. I had one woman yesterday throw holy water on me in the middle of the office, it surprised the heck out of me I might add, while another woman asked me if it burned. I looked at them and said nothing. That for some reason scared them to death. They all asked me why I said nothing and just kept looking at them. So my advice to you is, say nothing at all. Let them think what they wish. I think it is kind of funny to tell you the truth. The only good thing on my end, well, keep it up and you will have harrassment charges at work against you. Just never let anyone in on your private life. Keep your chin up girl...

i would simply say to them that, that is what they think...well see.

Ruby sometimes the more one explains the worse it becomes .I love this saying cause it is so true.

"Silence is golden" ;)

Everyone has a right to their own opinion. Just as we don't want people to push their beliefs off on us, we shouldn't push ours off onto them. I don't feel the need to convince anybody about who or what I am.

every thing u guys say makes sense and i hope to make better of my school situation with this advice
my cowerkers at work are greak most are friends and if not they become friends
they all said the other day that they all loved me for who i am and the fact that im a little odd but thats what makes me who i am
its just school that i have the problem with peeople and i hope to be able to change that

Bite the neck of the next person that makes fun of you, and drink their blood*.
That'll stop the jokes.


*This action may incur jail time

not if ur under 18

Many good words of advice here for you Ruby...and I'm sorry you are going thru all of that, but that is such with people on so many subjects.

I keep talismans and clothing styles away from work and others I know from school as well as the work place. The idea of the 'masquerade' is a good one, and I need to conform while I'm at work as well as with certain friends and my family. But on my own time and with a small circle of friends, I wear what I want to project and am proud to do so. Sometimes wearing even a pentagram in a certain place just invites trouble, sad to say..... we're here for you Ruby.

The same thing happens were I live I almost got kicked out when my parents saw the pentagram in my room.

People will be people.

I always repeat the same phrase cauise that's the unique answer.

hehe. good to know!

I would just explain my beliefs to them, as simply as possible. And whenever I get asked "why are you into vamps etc? it's sick!"

I just reply "well, I hate that top you're wearing but do you see me making a fuss?"

If all else fails, just smile sweetly at them whilst devising ways of torture in your mind;)

In the small and narrow country I live in,if someone wears back it gets called:Satanist,I get called that way even by my family.

So welcome to the thing called life.

i think this situation is easier for guys as we can get violent easier.

with girls things don't get violent but are much worse. the scoren from others due to what they don't like about you is always difficult to take.
and no matter what people say ignoring it doesn't make it go away.
the best way is to play them at their own game...but smarter.
try reading some Che Gauvara.

once they are beaten they cannot attack you again for fear of losing to you again.

violence doesn't have to be physical.

i'm sorry to suggest attack but some people only understand that in this sad world.

I think it is hard to reply to this we are only giving advise here as it is a tough situation ...........Me i would hold my head up high and grin from ear to ear and walk away i would not try and let them understand ..........Do not bite back pardon the pun it will only encourage them which can make things worse .......

Hopefully after you have read all the post's you will have to decide the way forward for this is your life and decision's are important makes you stronger inside

Good Luck

I don't believe in Vampires and I have a tendency to make fun of the people who truly believe they are one.

I don't mean the people who follow the vampiric lifestyle, or the people who role play as a vampire.... I mean the people who REALLY believe they are one. Those people just annoy me. Probably because they can't take reality so they create their own little world. I don't go out of my way, but if they hound me, I usually flame them.

I come accross alot of those on VF. But if the person is involved in the culture or lifestyle, I leave them be. Its none of my concern either way.

As for the "preps" you're judging them just as much as they judge you. Stop labeling them and look at them as people instead of "preps". I'm not "anti-labeling" but when someone focuses only on that label it blinds them to the people.

In fact, play up the "satanist" thing and have fun with it... thats what I did when I was in High school. *chuckles*

this post had helped me a great deal
lol and and like to say thank u to all
altough i am a girl am ia m not weak i pick up my fiance ad carry him a roung or spin him lol
i love being stronger than most people becasue when they learn this they usually leave me alone.
lol
thanks u guys l8ters

One thing you must remember:

"That which does not kill me only serves to make me stronger" - Nietzsche

excellent phrase for this post:)

I feel I most post this in response to an inbox someone sent me, then proceeded to "block" me so I couldn't "retaliate" (Very mature)

"I don't believe in Vampires and I have a tendency to make fun of the people who truly believe they are one.

I don't mean the people who follow the vampiric lifestyle, or the people who role play as a vampire.... I mean the people who REALLY believe they are one. Those people just annoy me.

I don't want to hound you, but simply because you don't believe in us doesn't give you any right to ridicule us. Any statement made about "not accepting reality" is simply ignorant. You are stuck in this reality, and you think that makes you better? No. Don't bother responding to this message. You're not worth talking to.


RESPONSE:

*raises an eyebrow*

I don't go looking for the people who think they are vampires. I don't attack them in a public forum, but the ones who private message me because my beliefs are clearly stated in my profile are the ones I "flame".

If you consider me ignorant because I do not agree with your lifestyle, than that is your own opinion. But I don't believe in vampires themselves, though the mythology around them is fascinating. I don't condone anyone for wanting to create their own fantasy world, but when it effects their own grip on reality, than it becomes detrimental to society, as well as that individual. Sanity then becomes questionable.

Amusing how you simply pass judgement that easily. If I wasn't worth talking to, you would have simply ignored me, my dear.

Sorry i'm not trying to cause drama, just trying to clear up any hostilities as I haven't attacked anyone for their beliefs on here, I just go after the people who insist upon pushing their lifestyle onto me.

I would grin and remain silent around the lesser beings..... They poke fun because deep in their subconscious little minds they realize they're inferior. Not for the fact that they're not vamps, but for the fact that they are too lazy to gain accurate understanding of the vampiric lifestyle, and would rather make fun of those who could feast on them easily!!!

Easy . . . feed on their fear: bite them, or act like you're going to. Yummy. Blood of the mockers.

Or you could just ignore them. But going postal is so much more fun.

Like I said, I don't go after people, nor do I judge someone on their lifestyle. Its the people who insist that their Dracula's Grandson, and that I must be their bride, that I tend to flame. In general I leave people alone, because thats what I prefer, is to be left alone. (Unless its for intelligent conversation)

MMH and Sek, well said . . . and you can insert anything in place of 'vampiric' for a lifestyle and how others perceive and damn or condemn.....still amazes me how narrowminded humanity is.

The person is the quotes was me, I was trying to clear that up. Because I think I worded it wrong, so it came out harsher than intended. I was the one admitting to picking on the "vampires".

Just to make things clear, so people understand. The area below the quote was the individual responding to what they quoted from me, and the area below "RESPONSE" was my response to them.

Just so that no wires get crossed.

Pardon me, I was just trying to clear things up as they came out rudely.

I would say opinions are like assholes ect. I personally could care less how other individuals see me. I don't live life to please them. I live for myself.

as already mentioned, "silence is golden"
on the other hand, the middle finger always works wonders, at least it helps you look above and clear

I would say: congratulations!. You do have your feet on the ground!. You're 100 % reality. You're a great human being who bases his acts upon RATIONAL THINKING.

And then I would shake hands....

Darkthrone. ^_^

You made my day. :p

What would you say to someone who doesn't beleive in the world being round??

Just smile, especially with your eyes. One day they too will realise.
:)

I have faced the same sort of mockery and disdain from my "peers". I respond one of two ways: (1) Dead eyes. By that I mean showing absolutely no emotion in my features. Or (2) laugh at them.

I've found that saying "fuck you" usually provokes them further.

If its truley what you believe, Simply blow it off...
If that is not possible, Then a comeback might not be a bad thing to consider

nothing they are not worth my time or effort.

I'd just ignore them and even though it's easier said then done, try not to let them see it bothers you, as it just seems to add more fuel to the fire, least in my own experience anyways. People can be so cruel sometimes.

But I have to comment on your picture. It's scary how MUCH you look like a very good friend of mine. Only her hair's a bit lighter and quite short, but you could easily pass for twins otherwise!

abolutly nothing


for those are the meer souls you shall feed on right?

I would simply say...... to each their own.

I think it is probably because, especially amongst young people, there are a lot of stupid people pretending to be vampires just to jump on the bandwagon, and the skepticals grow cynical.

People with no knowledge of subcultures/fetishes, (meaning ignorant people), are also that way.

To the ignorant, I'd just dismiss them, because it is a known fact that the most ignorant are also the most stubborn.

To the cynicals, I'd prove them wrong. They aren't idiots, they're just reasonably skeptical.

well what i did do was bare some fang at them and hiss....what I ought to have done is simply tell them to piss off if they can't be a useful member of the human race

I personally dont put up with crap like that. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and in turn you are entitled to live your life how you choose. Go on living how you wish and ignore those punks who try to bring you down just because they cannot even begin to understand the awesomeness of you. Stay how you are and be cool...

its hard to ignore comments especially when they atre rude and such...they say names dont hurt but in fact they do..
there isnt much you can do to stop them except try not to give them any reactions..they will give up after awhile if they dont think what they say effects you any more

Well seeing as we have all faced those same people, not all the same methods work. True for a male it's easier, we can get violent, but for you, use your mind. When they say something, tell them, "what did mommy and daddy not give you their credit card today?" Or start throwing holy water on them. Lord knows they are the ones that are evil. Silence might be golden, but sometimes it's just not enough. The best saying that I've heard is this,
Can't
Understand
Normal
Thinking
Try to read just the first letters. They might not understand you, but at least you will be laughing.

With a situation such as this I believe their isn't much that you can do. I believe if you truely are into what you do and who you are it shouldn't matter what others say. You don't do it for them so why should you care about what they think?
I also believe that thier is always a way out of a situation such as this. Have you tried to talk to them? If so then try to avoid them and if that doesn't work their isn't much to do other than ignore them and make it seem as if it doesn't bother you. From my experience if they don't get the reaction that they want out of you then they will stop acting like this. I hope that my advice helps and if you need anything else feel free to contact me ok?

i hate saing this cause its on these threads all the time... but its true, people fear what thay dont understand an hence make fun, that dosent bother me, im way past getting mad at people for makin fun of me, which actuly dosent happin at least not in front of me, as for other people beliving in vampires. i could care less if other people belived. it really dosent concern me at all

Simple... Very Simple I would (EVERYONE REPETE AFTER ME) F - Them you are who you are it is not like you are taking these people home with you and having sex with them. Why should you care what they think?

I understand where you are coming from with such events. I myself have been faced with similar perils.
One must choose to cast rude comments off and away. Those who wish to call you these things are not worth your time or effort. In a sense, to think critically on one self or hating them makes them win.
The only just thing to do is to ignore such blingd ignorance. These are obviously people who have not grown up and must act like children to think better of themselves. You can be better than that.

I am always happy whenever a person says he or she does not believe in vampires. As Van Helsing said once in a classic film, "the power of the vampire exists precisely because people do not believe in him!"

I used to let myself get really upset when this would happen in my situation but finally a friend told me I don't owe anyone any explanations and they are jerks and just don't try they aren't worth even trying to make understand. They gave me this quote they found and it was very profound to me to be found at a time I needed something. maybe it will help you as well. Whether it does or not know that you are a good person and of worth and if they can't talk to you without ridicule they are the ones that have lost not you. Lots are afraid of what they don't understand and are afraid to even try to learn about it.

"never argue with an idiot...people watching might not be able to tell the difference "

I would tell them to shove there judgmental, persicuting, accusational, blasphemy bull-shit straight up there ass! Because If they asked me to understand where they are coming from and there opinions, I would tell them "I'm sorry I can't get my head up my ass that far!" But hey thats just me!!

for someone who doesnt believe but perhaps wished knowledge to form their own opionon i would enlighten.

for those who simply wished not to believe, i would let alone and allow them to believe what they wish, as is everyone's right.

for those that make fun i would simply ignore or walk away, but then i dont deal well with ignorance. seriously there is no point to dealing with someone like that though

:D u all have good advice

rubyragar I am just curious as to why you feel that being called vampy is rude or an insult? I think it is a cute nickname that I would be proud to be called. And excepting it proudly will make the people buggin you mad! That's what you need to do but I still don't see why you take that as being an insult? I have been called that before and accepted it so much that I even have a email address based on it!
As far as being called nuts goes, if I were you I would not go around telling people that you believe in vampires. Most people do think that is rather nutty and are going to express their opinion on that matter. If you don't want ridicule by the general public I would suggest that you be choosy about who you share your beliefs with. Not everyone is openminded. Also we as people have to try to learn to not get upset by other people's opinions. I mean you have and express your opinion of vampires and someone who doesn't believe should be able to express there opinions as well. Noone should be rude in either case, though, and that is where the problems come in. My advice on the whole matter would be to just ignore the people who are rude to you and don't associate with them!

lol yeah well the people i know at work (most of whom i went to school with at one time) like me for who i am and said that they wouldnt have me anyother way
heres what they said " yes ruby is wierd but that is wh ywe like her thats what makes her cool and if u have a problem with it then u have to take it up with us."
to a guy who doesnt like me that used to go to school with its just at my new school that i have to problems

I do agree with lots of the responses here.I live in the Bible Belt in the south and for me beign wiccan is very hard at times .I get ridiculed alot for beign a witch but I just smile and tell them that it is my freedom to chose and religion I want.Also I try to repsect them for there religion,I do try to quote form the bible to them to let them know that I too know about there religion so that usually shuts them up real quick.

I get all mysterious first and then I cast a glamour so that it looks like I have fangs. ... Or sometimes just scareing the hell out of people will do it. Its like if ur stupid enough to make fun of me then I just don't want u around. Unfortunately school isn't as easy as public places like the grocery store. Sorry I'm not more help.

people say that to me all the time and it gets on my nerves i usally say "why do u think so" and no one has even bothered to answer me yet so i label them dumb and ingorant

Well, I don't personally believe in the mythical vampire, the seperate species.

I personally enjoy debate, and thats the wonderous thing about people not agreeing with you :-)

However, if people are generally being nasty to you, then they should be mature enough to respect your wishes... if not, then ignore them, or question them... after all, you know more than them on the subject.

i say FUCK YOU...and then i will like come closer and start to get near there neck and try to bite them!!

xxx
ashley

I would bite then and drain them to the point of death, Then look at them with my bloddy smile and tell them.. " One of two options you will choose now. Accept us and become one of us, or I finish what I started and our secret will remain safe with your death."

Please, no biting in school (unless they like it). Your education is more important. Wow I sound like my mom. Look I work at the carnival, we get laughed at a lot. However, when they start in on us, we just smile and say thank you. If you are always nice about it, they will run out of things to say before you run out of thank you's. Keep your head up high. Remember, you are a better person for not following their example.

I am who and what I am and if no one doesn't like or believe it's their business. I dress the way I do for me..Not for any specific beliefs, to gain attention or to raise eyebrows. There are a lot of narrow minded ppl out there and there are those that are so quick to judge, and assume. I say the hell with them and do what is right for you.

I am not in school and have not been for many years now.. I am free to roam the world when and where ever I choose.

it really dosen't matter what every one else thinks,as long as you believe,thats all that matters.

You really shouldnt let these things get to you, ppl are ignorant and dont deserve to be achnowledged in cases like this. They just strike out at what they dont know, its a form of psychological defence.

Oh yeah and for the nonbelievers... I'd invite thee to stroll with me and bear witness.

i wouldnt care if they didnt believe but if they didnt believe and would make fun of it i would say somthing to them bc they would hav no rite to talk bout vamps

alot of ppl think i am nuts cause of the things that i belive in or more to the point the things i don't belive in and make funn of me but what i try to do when this happens i use my own wit to hit them back and because they are quite often stupid ppl with nothing better to do than to go around picking what they don't understand or what is diffrent it usually works if this fails you could always add them to you hit list and reap sweet revenge at a later date hehe but i do know what you are going through and i know it can be quite nasty at times

I say to not to give a damn about what others think or say, or at the very least paint a picture of the "fear" and the "oddity" that they "see" in you. I mean like if someone is hassling me, it is my greenlight to suddenly get into a variety of depraved topics and subject matter that contains merose and disturbing subject matter that is sure to make Barbie and Ken puke all over their Old Navy carbon copy clothes.


I sort of went on a little tangent didn't I?

To simplify, just ignore them and or scare the shit out of them.

Well, I don't know how bad your situation is at school so the response I took back then may be a bit different than yours may be.
I didn't tell anyone I was a vampire, a few close friends knew, but no one else. So I didn't get harrassed on that end. I did get shit for being a goth ( I graduated back in 95), and a couple of times was acutually assulted by other students. The school's reaction was "oh well, your freaks so you deserve it".
Needless to say this did not sit well with my parents, and they threatened legal action against the kids who attacked me, and the situation was handled.
Another friend of mine had her life threatened cause she's Wiccan, the teacher in the class heard the threat and did nothing. My friend's mother came into the class, had a word with the teacher akin to "you do something about this little shit or I will, I'll rip off his head and shit down his neck!"
The teacher's response was to look at my friend and say "now I know where you get it from". The kid who made the threat never bothered her again.

So now that've gone off in a tangent, see if your parents will have a talk with the teachers/administators about the situation. I'm sure your school has an "anti- bullying" setup (everyone does these days after Columbine, even if they don't enforce it).

In the meanwhile, just flip them off and go back to your book or whaever you were doing.

Hah, people in my school don't mess with me. They all know I speak my mind and know that I don't really care if they make fun of me... they stopped poking fun about.. 2 weeks into my freshmen year. So much drama here. ;-; I would call then pathetic my dear.. and that anyone who has to make fun of someone who does something instead of nothing does not deserve to be treated like that... or I would just ignore then =D

I Would Beat The Holy Fuck Out Of The Motherfucker's.

I'd say " May God have pity on your poor soul."

axecution funny as duckshit

As many have said, I don't feel it worth the effort to engague the ignorant and fight with them. Rather, smile and take comfort in knowing there is more out there than they are willing to admit to themselves. Let it go in one ear and out the other.

Remember, it takes a wise person to learn about that which they know not, and a wise-ass to make fun of that which they know not about. ;)

I guess I would ignore it, and if the bastards are on you again, I would say that I didn't care of their opinion. but are they on you again, I would come with clear facts about vampirism. they probably wouldn't belive you, but they will have respect for you afterwards.

just a little answer by brutaldoll (not so brutal)

I do not believe in real Vampires but I do believe that most here follow vampirism traits. What I mean as a true Vampire are the ones that are portrayed in movies and books. Living for ever and blah blah. To each there own I say.

when it comes to everyone's different view. You just have to be comfortable in your own skin and take a stance and be surrounded by your own glory...happily...know that most comments like what you mentioned ..stem from Fear. So feel powerful.lol. also I always tell people even at times those who share my path but see something differently..
we view our points with respect and know that each person is at a different time and place in the universe and so I tell them
you see things one way from where you are standing
and I see them another

I allow you to live your journey and I most of all allow myself to live Mine.

bliss to you.

ok i was faced with this when i was in high school and still 11 years later. i used to say and still say now to whoever has a problem, " mind your own business", or "to each his own".......... or i simply ignore them. ignoring them just pisses them off more cause your not giving them attention...... they arent worth your time. if thats not your thing, say something smartass, like ...."oh yeah? clever observation" or "yay for me".......heehee! hope that helps.

I'd say "Well I didn't belive in people being that stupied but I see you proved my thery wrong" and this walk away and if they say anything back bite them and prove yourself true

I think tearing their throats out would probably make them rethink their position!!! I think people automatically think of the vampire legends and so do not believe they exist. I met a vampire from Kenya once. He was 130 years old and didn't look a day over 60. The myths have become exagerated over time but they have roots in reality.

i owuld ignore them /c they have no idea wat that could bring so think of it in a positive way. they make fun of u just think u keep doin that ull be sry

A good guideline can be found in the Black Veil that states:

1. DISCRETION
This lifestyle is private and sacred. Respect it as such. Use discretion in who you reveal yourself to, and make certain that your motives are to truly communicate about our culture and to engender understanding. By no means should you talk to others about yourself and our community when your motives are for selfish reasons such as self-promotion, sensationalism, and attention-getting.

Do not hide from your nature, but never show it off to the those who won't understand.

**If someone you are talking to does not accept and/or mocks your ways, then dismiss them. Along with that, never allow yourself to resort to useless squabbles. Represent your self with dignity and honor. ;)

Ah...so you're a skeptical priest? hahaha

interesting...

Skeptical??? Nah, not really. I just hold that living vampyrism is a beautiful thing. Arguing denigrates that image. Maintaining allure in the face of the unbelieving can be the magick that "draws the moth to the flame." ;) ^^V^^

well i would say...you know i dont make fun of you for being ignorent to my culture...

I would simply tell them or that person that they, just as everyone else has a right to believe whatever they choose. If you dont believe in what I do then thats fine but dont critizie me for it or downgrade it. If I have not slandered your beliefs then I would appreciate you returning the favor.

Personally I would say nothing to them.

The people that pick on you are just jealous that they don't have the courage to express thier own individuality and personal beliefs and when they are older and wiser and have lived a life in chains of fear from personal expression..then they will look back and think of you with admiration for being someone they wish they were

If I was in a "mood" then,
"Fuck off, at least I don't have every STD know to man."

~Master Damien~

Nothing, I'd just walk away !!

"shut up." ...::smile::

for those who don't believe i would tell them to believe because we are real and we are out there

to those who make fun of you for it... all it takes for me is a simple two words which are fuck off and then walk away.. either that or just bite them... then they should get the message

i like to bite my fience and he likes it but he doesnt believe in the same things but he pretty much lets me do what i want

i get a lot of questions about the vampire thing, i just tell them you wouldn't understand, i know that from experience.

For your first question dear, if you can't ignore them, one word: Sarcasm.
I know that sometimes is not easy to put up with comments, but you are who you are. Believe me, one day, if you ignore them enough, they won't get any kicks out of seeing you get bothered, and will look for another 'victim'.
It happened to me.

I would just say "You have your opinion, i have mine", if they continued, i would ignore the comments. Simple as that, i've done it many times (not necessarily about this subject).

....And when everything else fails...Tha finger.
I know...It's not very mature, but one has its days...

Honestly, I just wouldn't tell people if you were a vampire. Just think about it. If you weren't into "dark" things, you would have no clue what so ever what an actual vampire is. You can't expect people to understand that when you say you're a vampire that you don't mean a murdering lunatic.

If you don't want to be condescended for what you are, just don't go parading it around. Simple as that.

just tell them to back the fuck off and if they don't accept you for who you are then you don't need them plain and simple.

NeverInside has a point.
I learnt very early that somethings were better kept inside, or to the ones that deserve to know because they will understand.
How to know who they are?
Watch people, observe.

Easy, I would just ignore it and carry on with life.

i deal with that every day i mean its not like you can hypnotyse them but it happens

I would simply tell them its something that interests you, and perhaps even use an example of something they seem to like.

'It's all a phase' of what you like and dislike.

Ignore tham and only talk to your friends. The best way to get rid of someone is to ignore tham...they'll eventually get bored...but if you keep getting mad or sad or frustrated in front of them for what they are doing than they will keep doin it to get a response from you.

When someone says something rude to me i just say thank you and keep walking. When you do this you shock them and they dont know what to do. Once they realize that they arent buggin you anymore they will stop. And who needs ppl like that. just rememeber you have a life they dont cuz they need something like making fun of ppl to fill a void that is all....

I would tell them to say as they please because it does not hurt me at all..If you give in to them they will only do it more..I know from experience..But I wish you well and what goes around comes around..

I don't believe in any of that, but I don't care either, I'm friends with people who believe they are and if anyone has anything to say about it then I simply destroy them.

i just ignore them now and think about my guy meow

i wouldnt follow my advice but no one messes with me now they know i have a short fuse and kinda near killed someone cos they kept havin a go at me and didnt stop but after ignoring it for a year what was i expected to do
