Whoa you really do understand Damon character huh. Some of the viewers are pissed or mad at him the way he acts. Just because they don't understand him and he also can't explain his side even though he is doing good or when he act sometimes in impulsiveness. I really do like Damon's character it's interesting. And he is smart. even in a stressful situation he can think fast. He's the Alpha of the group 😍☺️

Of course is referring to being human!! Jessica is the representation of the conflict, killing is natural to Vampire, they are predator, but at the same time the human side bring all sort of problems, like guilt, compassion, the realisation of what you have to d to survive. That is his conflict, Elena wants him to be human and he is not, he had accepted his vampire side because he can't do anything about it, so he tried to make the most of it, not l to live an utterly miserable life that is eternal. But because he loves Elena he would love to be what she want him to be, but a vampire is he is, so "do I kill you" and be myself or "do I not kill you" and live lie and pretend, like Stefan do, to be human with the consequences we know, living an unbalance life with the risk of your vampire side to come out in the most inappropriate moment and in the most violent way. Elena have no Idea of what she is asking to the brothers. It's like asking to an alcoholic to work in a brewery and be the "better men" to get on with it.

When Damon said, "I'm not human and I miss it more than anything in the world," I always wondered if he was talking about being human or killing (referring to Jessica's earlier asking if he was going to hurt her) 😂🤷‍♀️

Damon, poor thing, can catch a break. Every time he has an opportunity to feel good, to have someone in his life that cares even a little, distracting him from loving Elena, he gets crushed. He cared about Rose because she was a sweet person with a tragic life but he didn’t love her. If anything she made him realise how much in love he is with Elena, how he is conflicted about wanting to care, how tragic and wasted is a life without love, family, roots, she made him think hard about his life. We cough glimpses of what he is behind the facade of tough and rough, badass, selfish persona he likes everybody and himself, to think he is, how big and magnificent Damon’s heart is, we saw it in Liz and Caroline situation, when he tried to patch up things between Elena and Stefan about drinking blood and when he declared his love to Elena, how much he loves her and his brother and selflessly made her forget and here with Rose giving her a dream to allowed her to die in peace. Stefan loves Damon because he remembers who Damon was as human and keeps hoping he would get to see that side of him again. Becoming a vampire was the biggest misfortune that could have happen to someone as sensitive and fragile as Damon is. The two sides of who he is as human and who he is as vampire are clashing so harshly, that he had to buried down his humanity not to be crushed by the pain of who he cannot be anymore and who he has became. Life events keep pushing his humanity out with overwhelming conflicting results that cannot possibly reconcile. “I cannot be who she want me to be, because I’m not human, and I miss it more than anything in the world...There is only so much pain a man can take” it summarise his life and that is shattering to hear and see. His final kill to that poor unfortunate girl is the visual representation of the violence of his inner conflict, the existential crisis he is enduring, alone, because he doesn’t burden anybody he cares with his troubles. He burdens a stranger and by killing her he make sure that the secret remain secret. The last shoot on his vampire face is incredible, he just killed his pain, he killed with rage the unbearable unfairness he feel his life is. That, in a way, is how Damon writes his diary. I cannot marvel more to the level of the depth that the writers were capable to give to this character. Damon has an effect on me that never any other character ever did. Ian Somerhalder performance is outstanding. At first he fought against Damon showing that much level of vulnerability. I guess when you play a character for long time, you became a bit that character and Damon would die before showing others vulnerability. But Kevin Williamson made him realize that this would give his character another level of depth. He realised that and got on board with it. To bring truth to the performance, he had to go psychologically in a place he didn’t want to go and afterwards he was depressed for two days. But the result, for us viewers though, it’s magnificent and hearth shattering. TVD is a roller coaster of emotions and you are in for a very bumpy ride. Don't worry about being tearfull, this show will make you cry, jump with exitement or fright, will keep you on the edge of your sit, will entertain you, will make you feel what the charcters feel, like no others show, it's more than a show, it's a emotional jorney.
