I've been questioning if I'm a therian or not for the past month and a half now, but even if I turn out not to be one, one thing's for certain:

I LOVE THE VIBE SO FRIGGIN MUCH.

I've been having desires and fantasies to be something non-human since I was 5, and what that something has been has changed over time. I used to keep it hidden and barely indulged in it outside of my imagination because I didn't want to embarrass myself or others. But the past 6 years of being on the internet has helped me be more open about this desire, plus learning more about myself in the process. I didn't learn what therians and otherkin were though until earlier this year, and what started as just me indulging a brief curiosity for me here or there has turned into a journey of self-identity for me.

I need to interact more with the therian community as a whole, but from what I have seen and read from the community (plus being friends with a few therians), the vibe is one I love very much and have found myself increasingly relate to.

I know I am at the very least otherhearted, but being a full-on therian is what i've been questioning for the past month and a half, and it might be a long time until I find the answer, but regardless of the answer, the whole "reject humanity, embrace critter" vibe is one I associate with and will continue to associate with into the foreseeable future.

Also, welcome to the "questioning if I'm even a human or not" club!

Edit: reuploading this. I took it down bc anxiety, but I don’t got time for that bs anymore. I’m a noodle now, and I still don’t what the fuck that means for me large scale, but I’m not leaving this site with important words bottled up.

I’m feeling the same way

Like on the one hand I’m really stressing out tryin to figure out the implications this stuff has on my identity and stuff, an identity that I though I had completely figured out

But on the other hand

it’s so damn nice
Like last night I got into bed and I was so damn comfy that I started chirping and purring and shit.
Was that real? I liked doing it, but does that mean I did it on purpose or was that an “involuntary non-human experience”? Does this mean I’m a Therian? Is this why I’m always fantasizing about being an irl furry?

I do not know the answers to any of these questions, but being here and seeing all of the art and writing about people being animals and loving it and loving themselves

It all makes it all feel better. In the end, the community is really fun, and that makes the identity stuff a lot less stressful to sort out.
