The first thing that should be addressed is, as a community, secrecy is vital because there are many people out there who would wish to shun us or even hurt us if they found out what we are. that being said, it is my belief that you should only come out to someone if it is nessecary to the relationship. Also before coming out make sure that you are confident in who you are and that you accept that this is natural for you. be sure that, if you are going into a serious relationship with someone, that they have an open mind as this will help should the day arise that you need to come out to them. in a whole be very careful about the people you tell in your life because there is always a chance that they will no longer wish to be around you. I speak from experiance when I say all this. this knowledge most often changes people opinion of you and usualy its for the worst.
on a side note, do not get ofended if they have doubts. simply try to assure them.
now if your sure that you want to come out to someone here is some advice on how to do it.
typically, just bluntly stating "I'm a vampire." doesnt work. it is not a very effective way to come out due to all the horrible misconceptions associated with the word. the way I've found works best is saying. "Do you know what a sanguinarian is?" and when they say no, calmly explain to them what it is and what being a sang entails. then after they get the picture, say "I am one"

well it is frowned upon in the sanguinarian community to bite to feed because of blood born pathogens that can be transferred during such occasions as well as it promotes infection due to how dirty the mouth can be, personally i find biting the most fun but you have to be very very close to someone to even consider that and well if your drawing blood of course its going to hurt but thats just relative to how much pain tolerance the donor has
yah we get made fun of quite a lot its a bit of a taboo subject as far as the general population is concerned but the thing they really dont realize is the fact that we are everywhere in every country every government imagine what would happen if we all decided to get evil? hello end of the world? possibly but unlikely lol
just a fun fact to think about when your at home and the power goes out

Nicely said Malkavia. I too find biting to be a little exciting, and when the craving gets too serious sometimes my animal instincs will take over in such a way. But as you said, it is frowned upon, and if one simply bust be a biter, they must make sure that it is with a significant other. And yes Gothpynk, we get made fun of a lot. It is hard for some to take us seriously, and due to their lack of maturity towards the subject they feal they should crack jokes. Well I hate to say, we've heard em all, and they are NOT funny. Watch out for the vampire take over...
