At one time or another we have shared our awakening experiences with someone or we have gone to websites and read people's awakening experiences. However, have you ever noticed that and more and more people are saying they never went through an awakening per say? That they have always been aware or aware that they are different then others? Then finally they happened to stumble upon some information about real vampyres and realized there was a name for it.
So with that I have a couple of questions:

Do think everyone has to go through an awakening to realize they are vampyric?

Do you think it's possible that for some people they have always been aware of their condition?
And would you consider this as an individual whose always been awaken?

I hope I was clear with this, it's something I've been pondering for awhile now and would like some feedback on it and your thoughts.

Thanks for answering this Rosetta.    It's my personal belief that people may be aware of the condition or that they are different then others and realize it very early on in life possibly in childhood, but may not understand the condition completely. Once they become more aware that there's other's like them out there and there's a word for what they are doing, maybe that would be their version of an "Awakening".

Thanks again for responding.

I think it is possible for a person to know that there is something very different about themselves from a young age, yet not know what. I know I though I was truly losing my mind. I had no access to anyone who was like me, and the closest I could come was vampire books and movies. I knew though, that they were in great part fantasy, so it was very confusing.

It was a revelation when I finally met others like me.

At which point do we say I was truly awakened? Was it when I knew I was different, or when I met others that could help guide me? Was it when I first started feeling "symptoms" or when I accepted myself for what I am? It is hard for me to pinpoint an exact time, so when asked how long I have been awakened, I generally tell them the approximate time that it has been since I accepted it and stopped fighting against my own nature.

Actually I think many of us go through many awakenings over our lifetimes.

I don't know if that helps.

I agree.

I have known since I was small that I was different. I have always known that I needed a little something more to keep going on a daily basis. I would get this energy from friends and family. Later on in life I began to understand and learn more about it and how to receive it in more acceptable ways. Not just take take take. I have also learned how to balance my energy so that I don't become drained as often. So I think for me it is a growing process and always will be. I have always known that I was different and have always known what to do. I just didn't know that there were others and that my needs for energy had a name.
Also, being an Empath has helped me to understand how to balance my energy.
