Are Vampires hyper-sensitive souls, or are they non-feeling creatures that mostly live to feed?

Some Vampires seem to be portrayed as having hyper-sensitive intuition and feeling. They have strong passions toward idealistic times in their past, for lost loves, and sometimes fall deeply in love with current love interests (sometimes unrequited) and even the more narcissistic ones seek mental and physical hedonistic pleasures, and appreciate fine arts and music.

Other times, their narcissism tends to make them more like beasts living to feed and spread their covens or “houses”—or living soley like reclusive survivalists ready to strike their prey.

So, which is it? Is there any overlap or explaining these two diverse positions as encompassing the nature of a Vampire?
