Here at Vampires.com we have a lot, and I mean A LOT, of people leaving comments begging someone to turn them into a vampire. It’s an everyday thing and honestly, I usually just ignore these hundreds of requests. But while reading the latest ones it started to get me thinking – why? Why do you want to be a vampire? Why do you want it so badly that you’d beg every single day for someone to turn you?
Don’t get me wrong, I love vampires too, I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t. I mean, I guarantee my vampire book collection would rival anyone else’s. So yes, I see the appeal, I understand the fascination for these undead creatures of the night. But if you sit down, and genuinely put some thought into it, can you tell me why being a vampire would be so fantastic? Because after serious consideration, I just don’t see it.
So to get a better understanding, I went back through and read the comments left by readers who want to be a vampire and one thing that I read over and over again is, “I’m not happy as a human, I want to be a vampire!” Ok, please tell me how being a vampire will suddenly make you happy? Have you ever heard of a happy vampire? In all the books, shows and movie you watch, how often are the vampires happy? 9 times out of 10 they are all dark and brooding, drowning in self-pity and barely functioning. Lestat, Angel, Edward, Damon… and on and on, they’re all miserable and hate what they are. All of them crave their humanity; they miss it and hate the monster they have become. So where are you guys getting the idea that being a vampire will make you happier?
The second comment that was repeated many times was, “Please turn me! Being human is boring!” Uh, becoming an immortal will change that how? It reminds me of a quote by Susan Ertz: “Millions long for immortality who do not know what to do with themselves on a rainy Sunday afternoon.” If you’re bored with the short time you have as a mortal, how will eternity fix that? Yeah, it doesn’t make sense, does it?
Now, I am not completely oblivious, I can see where being a vampire would kickass. You’ve got power, lots of power, and who doesn’t want that? You also have a certain freedom that humans don’t have. But really, when you think about it, the negatives greatly outweigh the positives.
Before I end this I have one more question for the wannabe vamps – what breed of vampire do you think you will turn into? Will you be like the vampires in Twilight, like the vampires in Anne Rice’s novels, the vampires of True Blood, the vamps in The Vampire Diaries? If vampires are in fact real, how do you know that they are like the pretty and powerful vamps in your favorite books and shows? You don’t know. Do you want to turn into a vampire like the one pictured above? Because they could very well be disgusting monsters and not the beautiful immortals created in the imaginations of writers. Keep that in mind.

Do you wish of becoming a vampire add Celeste Tina ON FACEBOOK WHO HELPED ME.
Do you really change people?just want to know
I just feel like I’m weak and I’d be able to do more as a vampire, physically and mentally. My humanity holds me back in the most frustrating ways, physical strength, my bum knee, human ailments. It just feels so crippling to live a short human life when I just want to live with my true love forever. This sounds so cringe but it is because of them that I wish that I could live on and do more. Vampirism just seems like a better option for she and I to live through. Nothing would hold us back, less money problems as well since we wouldn’t need groceries. Ethically speaking it just seems better. I have the biggest feeling of something missing in my life and it is and always has been vampirism. I just don’t want to be held back by being human and I’d like for my wife to be able to share a long vampiric existence with me. I know it’s selfish.
I want to be alone, away from my family, loved ones and the whole world forget me
Nice read being a vampire means I will live for a long time!
I really wanna be a vampire because whenever I read about vampires, I feel a very strange connection towards vampires. But I can’t explain it. Plus, humans hv done everything in their power to wipe vampires out of existence all because of their own insecurity. Sure. I admit tht there might be evil vampires in this world. But who knows? The subject of vampires is very mysterious and untold. If there r vampires out there, who aren’t evil and cause no harm, then there wud be only a few because if vampires live to this day, then it means tht they r close to excintion if they aren’t already extinct. If I became a vampire, then maybe I cud help… nd I think I know how but I can’t put it all into writing. There is a whole bunch of reasons but if I tried to state them all we’d be here for a day. All I know is tht I really want and need to become a vampire. It just feels ryt.
I want to be a vampire how can l be turned ..
Another thing how long can a vampire stay on earth
If vampires were here to save human life and feel compassion, why would they eat them? People who beg to be changed to avoid fate do not actually think a vampire would show sympathy do they? The most you would be is an easy meal. You don’t have friends, no one will miss you, meal. Didn’t fit in with the world, easy meal. Longing for release from your life, meal. Want to live forever, welcome to your eternal resting place, meal. If everyone with mental and physical health was turned, who would be eaten? There would be no food left for vampire. Seriously think about it. You have more luck with religion than this. It’s not a cure or miracle. You are not saved by it. This isn’t TV or a romance thriller. It’s a curse to live forever, and forever take from the living. Every time you eat is another person you took from. Another sad person who loses all future. Another family with a missing person report. Another child without a parent, another parent without their child. If you were ok with that already. Then why haven’t you killed yet. Why haven’t you faced your bullies, defeated those who opposed you. Why have you not ended the tyranny of those who oppressed you. Because you still cling to what you have… Life. You fear consequences. You fear death. And yet here you are asking to become the thing you so fear. This is why you are food. This is why you are weak, this is why you will forever be human. If you can not rise in the ranks of the living, then you deserve not be in the ranks of the damned. Watch your sunsets, enjoy your movies, kiss your loved ones, and embrace all that you cling to and fear losing so. Because it’s all you will ever have. If you want more, get more. If you are shorted in life, tough shit, that’s life. It is not fair and should never be. And if you think I am wrong. Then do something about it. Change your life. If you are done with it, then sacrifice it. Free yourself of all that you love in the world. Hit rock bottom. Then, and only then, will you know the true meaning of everything. I’m not saying kill yourself, I would never. That’s a waste of food. I’m saying, suffer the way a vampire must suffer. To walk amongst the living, and never live. See the people do what you will never do again. You will not love or hope for it. You will not have friends, and they will not be welcome. Live in the shadows, and feast on what you could never be again. Face your eternity staring into the black void of your soullessness, hungering for the destruction of your own kind, thirsting for more than you can ever have. Then when you are there, don’t turn back out of fear, what would be the point. For in the shadows where the world can not see, in the places where mortals will not look. That’s where we will be… Snack.
I want it because I feel so weak and I can’t do anything as if people always look down on me I want to be strong and be fast and the feeling that I can do everything possible and the last one I want to hang around for a long time.. This comment is from the Philippines
I want to be alone, away from my family, loved ones and the whole world forget me.
me too i want everyone forget me and besides that iwant to feel no pain anymore i want to feel like coldheart and i want to be a shadow that no one can’t see me and i want immortal life because… What is the meaning of life? The truth is it has no meaning. It would only have meaning if it were eternal.
