I was recently talking to my friend who was comforting me on my parents' divorce. I hadn't fed and was so irritable and sick that I cracked and snapped at her. And realizing what I had said, I told her it wasn't her, it was because of "Something bigger." Now she wants me to tell her what this something is. She doesn't know about or believe in real vampires. I tested this by sending her a story about real vampires that she believed to be fiction, and she didn't understand any of it. Now I have to decide: Come out to her? Or not? Does anyone have any tips on how to tell it to her so she'll understand? I know I can trust her, but I've never come out to anyone before (I'm a hybrid but I mostly just feed on the energy in plants). I don't know if she'll think I'm crazy. If I decide not to tell her, does anyone have any tips on what this other "something" might be? A liable excuse? She actually lives across the country, so she wouldn't be around to realize it isn't. I'd hate to lie to her, but I suppose I have been all along. \ Thank you for reading this I appreciate it

before i tell someone about me, i take two things into consideration.
one: are they going to take it seriously and not alienate me?
two: are they trustworthy, or will they tell everyone they know?
i am even more cautious if im going to tell someone closer, because things spread fast in my high school of only 100 kids. make sure they can keep a secret first.

Thanks for those tips, really helpful I've been thinking along those lines... Just now she asked me "You're not going to tell me you're a vampire now, are you?" I'm not entirely certain if she's willing to listen, or gearing towards her twilight brain and she's picturing a sparkly me. I'm pretty certain that, either way, she'll keep the secret to herself. I once told her about a dream I had depicting a new girl at school I'd never met, and a month later everything in my dream happened exactly the same way. She believed me then, and said she didn't think I was psycho. Hopefully this is a good sign...

I agree with Bomb. Somtimes letting ppl read about those subjects they consider taboo is the best way for them to accept things. For example, I let my grandmother read some of my literature that portrayed gays, vamps etc. & within no time, she had a complete new found appreciation and understanding regarding how I was born to live my life. It worked for me. Best of luck, bud.

Yes, Bomb. I'm gay. I started awakening when I was 18 and in that process, I came out to my family and was kicked out. I've learned a lot in these years, but from reading ur posts.. I'd say you're more mature than you give urself credit for. Lol

i guess maturity was just placed upon me. being a vampire takes some level of maturity most teenagers lack... its like i see the bigger picture. the downside of it is that i missed out on my crazy teenage years and grew up too fast, something i regret. but it cant be changed now, because time cant be reversed. even now looking back, i cant see any other way it couldve ended up

That's exactly how I felt at your age. I felt like I was partially missing out because I thought and was acting like an adult. However, it was far more beneficial in the whole picture. Wouldn't change a thing!

I reccommend not twlling hwr rn. Maybe help her understand how being a vampire is plausible. You may look like a vampirw fanboy for a while but, later when she understands your struggles she will be less alienated. It depends on how skeptical she is but I suspect that she is pretty skeptical.
