Should I tell others that I'm a Vampyre?

Personally, I recommend that you don't run around broad-casting what you are. This isn't like Wicca were you are required to tell your parents. In fact telling your parents is probably the last thing you'd want to do. Tell only people you trust. Not just trust to keep a secret, but trust with your life. Because in a way, you are. Share this with friends that are open-minded. Otherwise, you'll just have them thinking that you are crazy.

I bet you're wondering "Why shouldn't I tell my parents, they'll understand" right? Wrong. Generally most parents aren't open-minded enough to accept the fact that their son or daughter is a "Vampire". You'll either end up getting lectured for hours on end on how "evil" Vampires are, or you'll be met with complete resistance and told that Vampires simply don't exist. So save yourself some hassle and don't even bother. Most parents are easier to live with if they are un-enlightened to the details of your personal life. My policy is, the less they know about what I truly am, the better. After all, how can you have any advantages if everyone knows everything about you?

Of course there are exceptions to every rule. Vampirism is a family trait, (unless of course you are a Turned) and in some cases Awakened Vampire parents raise their children with the knowledge of what they are. So in that case speaking about what you are among your family members should be a common occurrence and what I have stated above obviously doesn't apply.
