-Vampire society is entirely unlike that of humans. Weakness and personal connections are practically banned, and it’s considered strange and dangerous to allow anyone, even a partner or close friend, to see a vampire at anything less than full strength. Vampires are vicious, territorial, aggressive creatures, and the only way they can keep each other from picking off the weak among them (and the only way to hold together some semblance of a society), is to impose strict rules on what is and is not appropriate. Affection and love are generally seen as human concepts, things to be dabbled in for fun, but never to commit one’s full self to for fear of exposing too much weakness.
-Thus, over time, many instincts and involuntary reactions have become things of shame. The bonding instinct, which evolved to form real relationships in a world of vicious monsters, became a sign of the inherent weakness no vampire can truly get rid of, something to be quashed down and hidden away. Any kind of weakness, any kind of vulnerability is banned from the public light, and even something as soft as allowing a partner to see one’s weak side is considered shameful and wrong. Only humans do things like that, and aren’t vampires superior to humans in every way?
