The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

When I felt bothered by the looks of someone else simply because I looked ''different'' I used to give them a frown and they looked elsewhere.

My self awareness in respect to the "darker side" generally gets me into trouble or gives me a nasty headache lol.

I see it when I get frustratd with other peoples lack of organization and common sense, useless time wasting calls and utterly stupid obvious questions.

Then again, I do have a certain facial expression which does have a useful side, it says "be quiet and don't mess with me".

I agree with Sinora.

My "darker side" also often get me into trouble.
But for the most part when people see me they tend to steer clear due to my style and attitude.

People say that I have this "badass bitch" complex.
The people that tend to agitate me get this "speak to me and die" type look. lol. The reactions I get are sometimes quite priceless.

I really don't see why anyone would rather concentrate on their "darker side" in retrospect to the way it makes one feel. The self awareness issue should be more concentrated on what it was ment to be concentrated on. The lighter side of the self, the beneficial qualities that the universe provides, rather then the detrimental aspects.

my darker side has gotten me more unwanted atention than i will admit,mostly it;s usually the kind when i am in a store or walking to my car a religious fanatic will come up to me saying how much i need to be saved,truely it is amazing on how one percieves another on how they dress and look.

.. someone wrote a thread, 'do you hide'.
This was in response.

There are occasions when that darker side allows you the belief in self, to do what the lighter side cannot.

The simplest example, I cited at the head of this thread.

To further that, one side allows the other to exist and be utilised, when one feels 'safe', for example.

My darker side comes out at different points of the day depending on whats going on at the time. There's times when my darker side comes out and stays out for days or even weeks at a time it just depends. Its situational for me.

My self-awareness is always active. I am always aware about people looking at me or something.

well, being 5'11" and 190 #, always dress in Black, with all the attributes attached, when people see me, in the street, subway or the Bus, there are no eye contact. The intimidation created by the images that we represent is enormous. They, the "others" see us, the outsiders as parasite of society. Then, If I go to a function at work, and I dress "normal", because is work, The approach is different.

One persons "dark" is another persons "shade".

trust you.

well, there are many, many shades.. and many facets to display..

The only time that i have ever used or displayed my "darker side" is whenever i really need to. Some people's fuses are not as long as others. Some people can handle and tolerate a great deal before showing a darker nature. Everyone has a boundary or line and it takes a great deal to bring that part of me outward.

When it comes to how people look or carry themselves doesn't effect me in the least. It's how one treats ME that determines my response in the end.

I don't let my "darker side" out .
If I did , I'd end up behind bars .
And I don't mean the kinds that serve booze .
That said , I'm always creepy . Can't help it .

Now is the time to open your eyes, and finally see the dark side of me. No ones seen this part of me. A part of me that I keep hidden deep in my soul. Never really existed until now. Take a step if you dare into my dark world. That’s right, a dark story for a dark world beyond our own. Unfold my wings, engulf my soul for the hunger that drives me to the darkness I like as I have became a forbidden warrior.

I am neither good nor evil, dark nor light…neither extremes. I am twilight and shadows in human form. I destroyed things of evil and yet I am the protector of innocence from a past life. Their memories and dreams, so fresh in my thoughts. Over and over, in my deepest, darkest dreams, a figure lingers there, always, and I ask myself, lying awake in the midnight hours…

But from out of that death, that rebirth, came new life.

Or is this myself?

Roses and candles, blades and darkness, a woman of both am I. The friends of the past…the ones I protected in the past…those I will face in my future. I will live through it all…no, not live…exist. It is all I do, it is all I can do but it is more then I’ve done.

My spear, I have learned to wield and protect. Those who hunger for blood but blood is blood, and they will accept good or evil. Evil this time, good the next? No, good…good is too good for me. I will change, another metamorphosis, another rebirth I do deserve. I will hunt the darkness in this world and protect the innocent. I am no hero…I am no villain…I am neither.

I am a warrior of Neith, but at least I shall learn to protect.

The Dark Side use? I don't know if I use it or not but people rarely talk to me-- I have no clue why, perhaps it's my posture, facial expressions or maybe the way I carry myself. If someone smiles at me, I smile back but if they frown, I stare at them until they cower. Maybe we all have a dark side to us, some may use it and some may not.

The Darker side of myself I keep under wraps, it takes alot for the dark side to come out in me. Most people are shocked when they witness y dark side LOL

yet it is what makes us who we are. Everyone has a dark side as well as many shades in between I think.

As some would say the dark side of the heart is more complex, more intriguing, than the one dimensional world of light. Darkness is the weapon of evil...the trap set to capture the hearts of man.

The darkness is a powerful temptation...existing in the hatred of our hearts. It promises great power and power it delivers. I have seen men and woman posses powers that man should never hold, the power to destroy, to obliterate, even to kill. What is truly terrifying is this power can only be granted to those who welcome the darkness into their hearts. The power is the bargaining tool of evil, the sweet deal…but, with this power comes a grave sacrifice.

We, the carriers of this darkness, become slaves to the darkness' unholy intent. Our minds, even, dare I say it, our souls become engulfed and in an anti Christ like transfiguration, the joy that shines in our spirit becomes a mass of pure dark and only evil can reside, choking out the noble concepts of morality and fellowship.

By taking the power of darkness and accepting it into our hearts, we are essentially becoming the darkness itself.

..when I began, to learn, I was told of two path's.

Two paths, one mind....such a tough desicion to make.

Light or darkness...

the dark side is always a temptation for us mere humans.. we want to have it all the dark the light and everything in etween yet, that is not a possibility in my opinion. I mean good and bad goes hand in hand yet, one will always be stronger than the other and it is our decision as to which one we want to rule us in the end.

This is also an aged old question for us, do we allow our darkness to control and rule us or do we control and rule our dark side...

You grow up, your mind begins to mature, losing their grip of your fear in their dark hands. It becomes boring, but with millions and millions of humans at their disposal, losing one means nothing to them. Still, having fun with one person is a blast. Just need to find the right person to screw with. Just remember, they’re not the enemies here, they do the job and that’s final. It’s YOU who makes the images, not the darkness.


The darkness is innocent.....

.. the human mind is not though.

everyone should let the "dark side" out sometimes...

**laughs**

.. erm, once inna while. yes.

Sorry i was making a stamp and i seen this and it felt like perfect timing lol

This is another good thread. Maybe some people are not aware that they have a "dark side" as opposed to something else. Maybe that is just who that person is.

I would not say I have a dark side but rather I have periods that I can go back to in my life that were rather "dark."

I have severe depression and if I let it consume me, I could do something terrible to myself. Those dark periods in my life were when I was the most depressed. Unfortunately, one of those periods was right after I gave birth to my son...and it was not post-partum depression. I was fired from my job and had to literally "stand trial" for unemployment benefits...it took months for me to recover from that.

On another note, I don't have a short fuse, I have NO fuse. It does not take much at all to piss me off and I sometimes will go into fits of rage...ask my ex husband. But that is not my "dark side." That is my BITCH side. :)

Sanity is relative. Situations can call for certain actions that some classify as insane, but at the time are not. In addition, there are different types of insanity. Sometimes the soul is what is insane while the mind is clear as a starry night.

Though humans embark on a personal journey into an immense heart of darkness, that is, the darkness of every human soul

If one's actions, right or wrong, mad or sane, do not go without retribution. One's physical state the time, if one meet this human is a clear reflection fo the turmoil in one's soul.

If one goes on to say that perhaps could see theirselves struggle, could see a soul that would know no restraint, no faith, and no fear, struggling blindly with itself. One would feel that they have fell victim to the worst enemy of any man, their ego.

A man, human, weak, and consumed by something they thought they could control. They represent the best of humanity, and the worst of it. An initial Harvey Dent, an original Two Face, he shows the pinnacle of human intelligence as he represents the nadir of ourselves. His duality lives in every person, towering intellect to moral depravity. Between them is a fine line humans dared to cross, and fall to our ruin. Humans are truly freed from the earth, though trapped deep in its core, under pressure, our coal powdered, and becomes part of that fickle darkness.

Man oh, man. If I let my dark side out, I might just turn into a insanely psychotic madman like the batman series character: Mr. Victor Zsasz, a very intelligent individual, always rambling about something. But when the rambling gets going.. Don't let him near any sharp objects.

To me having a "dark" side has nothing to do with clothing or other it is what is inside us that makes us dark ie the energy we project that is what makes us dark or not. Some pp use make up or black clothing as a way to hide who they truly are, in my mind you could be dresed "goth" to the 9s it still does not make you dark

no.. but one can use it to reflect one's darker side / or, darker persona.. yet that isn't quite what this was about.. it's about using that darker self, in day-to-day life.

Ah, very well, put chap. I clap for you on your words. -claps-

Unless you have bled with another, you do not know their soul. Trust just makes you weak without a foundation to build it upon.

Doru wins for uttering the darkest thoughts in the fewest words.

mebbee, but as I trust few.. and, value those I do trust, I'd rather ignore such negativity.. just makes me worse rather than better.

an besides, the only RL I know wouldn't say that: so I'll hold judgement on his remarks.

Yes, trust is a value, as well to me, because without it, I loose my mind in the process, myself.

.. thing is, trust is all too easily lost, innit?

That's your dark side talking, Angelus.

**looks up at the halo**

I don't know what you mean.

We all have dualities of what we have done to deduce to be the meaning of the darker side. Perhaps we saw ourselves acting as though we were another person. A time when we let our 'dark side' lead the dance, a time when we lost control. Perhaps we could deal with dual identities, Jekyll and Hyde.

erudite as ever it seems.. aye that was my inference.

You project energy, just as everyone around you does. If you cast an aura of "dark and evil" people are naturally going to notice. This can also be used, I've heard, to "hide" in a crowd.

I use my darker side occasionally at work to get my point across. But I try to avoid projecting too much when around others. Sometimes the results can be unpredictable.

Just by the way you dress you can make people fear like or respect you... simple as that
Projections or not if you learn the art you can effect a great many things with almost no effort.

well as was said we have a dark side within ourselves, just a matter of who owns and controls it you or your mind,heart, these are the things that usually bring out the dark side of a person. When theyfeel there is no other way but the dark side of things.

I choose to keep mine harnessed at best. for me to use my dark side is usually hell fires and waith, I use on others and well that is not the answer in my opinion.

.. I understand the light side.. it's the dark side I have problems with, hence the thread.

Dark side hmmmm,

I was told once that their was two paths....now it's my belief and realisation, that in fact 'there can only be one'.

However looking at the conscious and subconscious......*coughs* anyway where was I...

Self awareness is a wonderful thing!

.. from that response good Sir, I'd say that you've more awareness of self than many.

Actually Angelus, I find my inner battles either very tiresome or enlightening lol

If I am ticking people can "feel it "I get comments in town like this flooded Saturday, they tend to say don't kill me. That much dark energy is consuming and has to be channeled to make it safe...errr...TFS.
As for paths, I walk a negative dark path because I do not like the positve one...all that being "nice"...yurk.

TheBan.. interesting, is a good word to use.

Hmm, the lady doesn't like nice.. ?
Nice is your balance, don't you seek balance??
