That old person feeling of no longer being with "it", and what's "it" now being strange and scary probably compounds over the centuries.
And this is why elder vampires are so vengeful.
I absolutely love the scene in "Interview with the Vampire" where Lestat is found hiding away in a room, distraught by all the creations of modern civilization.
yes, but old people can get over that and just stop giving a fuck and accept that they're weird now. it must be liberating.
I'm not sure about this. Ever heard the phrase "the past is a foreign country"? Living through time would be like immersing yourself into a new country every couple of decades. You could even lessen the blow (and would probably have to in order to remain anonymous) by frequently moving around the world. People tend to give newcomers a certain amount of slack and with the enormous amount of knowledge and experience you would gain over time, you can easily and quickly immerse yourself in any new environment and adapt to whatever is "it" now.
