A Vampire is simply a being that can't create enough of it's own spiritual energy to support itself, so it must get it from another source. They are believed to have a hole or damaged spot in their astral/spiritual body. This is a lot like a paper cup with a hole in it. You continue to pour water into it but it slowly leaks all of it out. No matter how much water you pour into it, the cup never stays full. This is the technical definition of what exactly a Vampire is. So most feed on raw energy of the spirit some do drink blood....they are not immortal but some do heal rapidly and rarely get sick....some even live for a while longer...They also do tend to be photosensitive so sun hurts but doesn't kill...garlic and holy water don't do anything but because many have really keen senses the smell of garlic may be unpleasant....they die just like anyone else in the same ways....
Some are "goth" and go to "vampire clubs" and like to dress like a "movie vampire" a lot don't. I'd almost say most dont....The ones you've seen on "The secret lives of Vampires" aren't that great either...not bad but not true to their condition...they try to play it up a bit for TV and not to inform the public...Vampirism is really more a a burden than anything.... Also the consumption of blood(which a lot vampires don't do either) is not recreational. It's how they get the extra energy they need to survive...let me explain more
Most vamps would classify themselves as either Sanguinarian(blood drinking) or Psi(energy draining) both are different ways of accomplishing the same thing...getting prana or life force energy to keep them well...though some may claim the sang and psi are different they are one in the same..it's just the different ways they prefer to feed that sets them apart...nothing more. sang or psi is a choice. any Vampire can feed on any type of energy...
They are not role playing or crazy..thy just have a spiritual deficiency ...they're not sexy or psycho killers or anything like in movies...they're people and are just as varied and diverse and unique as any other group of people.
For the record we don't intentionally drain people without their knowledge and permission this is an unethical attack...well most of us don't. If someone is draining you chances are they aren't aware that they are. We are not evil or trying to hurt people..we just have a spiritual affliction...
Cutting oneself to get blood is also a big NO,NO....It only drains you even more and is of no benefit...it simply makes things worse.
You can't become one either....you must be born there for there are no requirements...you can't truly be turned either...
Turning...yet another taboo subject. In the vampire community it is generally considered a BIG no,no. I would have to agree that one cannot be permanently turned into a vampire. You have to be born with this condition.You cannot just decide you want to be a vampire and ask you best friend to make you one. It doesn't work that way. It just can't be done. Some say that if a vampire and mundane were to exchange enough spiritual energy one could turn another into a vampire. However this would need A LOT of energy and would cause damage to both the vampire and the human... it's honestly not worth it. no one would want to do it any way. It requires too much energy to actually be done for real. The vampire most likely wouldn't be able to take it. There are however things that may seem like turning.
Sometimes when a vampire feeds from their donor too often or take to much energy in one sitting the donor may develop vampiric like symptoms. They may become weak and need energy and maybe even crave blood. This however is temporary. After having fed a few times they will return to normal and not an alternative source of energy any longer,unless of course they were a vampire all along and weren't awake yet. So one can have vampiric tendencies for s short time due to a large loss of energy but won't permanently become a vampire.
Psychic feeding techniques can actually be learned. Feeding is a talent that any human can learn on there own. it's simply taking energy form somewhere else and using it to your benefit. So you can learn to feed but you still aren't a vampire because you don't actually NEED that energy... you just know how to take and use it. Even some may be able to TAKE it but not know how to USE it....
So in reality you can't be turned into a vampire...or any other type of otherkin. these are things your soul is born with and can't be changed...ever. I don't get why people want to become vampires any way...it actually kind of sucks....

I hope this helped you out.... There is no hard "proof" of our existance but there is no hard proof we actually have a spirit...there's no proof of "God"(however you view it/him/her/them) Sometimes we must just take a leap of faith!

Yes, vampires are real. Every human being has the capacity to be a vampire. Have you ever encountered a person and felt drained afterwards? Have you ever been used by another?
Vampires feed off of the blood (life force) of other humans. They can steal time, material goods, emotions, etc. through excessive negativity, manipulation, cruelty, etc.
It is best to stay aware of yourself and how you feel around others. Awareness detects and protects against vampiristic intention.

well for one, garlic, crosses don't even harm vampires. Screen writers made that up looong ago. And vampires have a reflection. The show up in pictures. Secondly, If your a vampire, then your fang teeth or w.e will be major sharp. :P And thirdly, you might not belive, but im a vampire. My name was originaly Beth, but I got bored of that about 20 years ago, so I changed my name to Zaria. [=

The term "vampire" is just from human imagination... however.. there's this rare genetic blood disease that doesn't have a cure but in order for them to live they need some high protein substances (mainly raw blood, and other internal organs). This disease also have an effect on their skin, making them sensitive to broad daylight... and it causes their skin to wrinkle immediately.
I just forgot the name of the disease, but it exists. It's not something to be feared, rather, they should be pitied because they can't live a normal life.

vampires aren't real. however, vampirism is. like witches aren't real, but witchcraft is. vampirism and wicca is the study and practice of what "vampires" and "witches" have done in fables and stories that have been around for centuries. there are piles of books everywhere involving this study, it's actually pretty interesting.
