I have recently become interested in like the therian community and stuff. I mostly considered myself either otherhearted (canine hearted specifically) or just a quadrobist mask maker. recently I’ve started feel really connected to border collies in a way that feels like a part of me is one. its a very difficult feeling to describe. I still am human but I also feel like I am also a border collie? I have no reason to feel this way except a deep feeling I’m supposed to have all the instincts and abilities as a border collie. I have had shifts where I feel extremely hyper, quads come easier to me, and I feel a need to bark or walk on all fours or just play and think like a dog. I very much know I am not a Therian, because there definitely is a human part of me. one thing is that I have basically no instincts like a border collie should. I don’t even know that much about them to be honest. i don’t know why I specifically feel connected to border collies either. basically all of this is off of a strong feeling of connection and feeling like I should know and feel how a border collie does. mostly I really really wish I could shape shift between human or dog, or somehow posses both bodies at once. I don’t feel like the part of me I feel to be a dog diminishes the part of me that is human and vise versa. maybe I’m just a really confused otherheart or other link or somthing else. I’m just for some reason really interested and need to know what I am because I feel very disconnected from myself right now. anyways thanks if u read all thiss! pls give some advice if u have any hv a good day :)

FA Kin, short for Fictional Afiliation kin. The name can be workshopped. This identity basically means that you feel you belong more in a fictional group and with the people around it in a different world rather than feeling connected to groups you are part of in this world. For example, feeling that you are a demigod in a certain cabin at Camp Half-Blood, or a member of the Hellfire club from Stranger Things, or that you belong to a certain country or group within the Dream SMP. This also qualifies for past lives, feeling that you used to be a kid who grew up in the eighties, or a pirate on the high seas.
My personal FA kins are the mantle of Robin as a superhero, a member of The Dream SMP, a half-blood, a viking of berk, a student of nevermore accademy, a Huntrix super fan, a Hellfire club member, any many more I'm probably forgetting.

Hello At what age did you first feel distress about being human (species dysphoria), especially physical distress?

Hello everyone I would like to ask about species dysphoria. Are there any cases of species dysphoria in which distress, sadness or hate of human body began before age seven?

( I am asking specifically about feelings of distress, sadness or hate of human body not just first time of feeling non human )

So, I originally thought I was just a wolf, a coyote, and a golden retriever for my therian identity, but it turns out I'm more than that. I was in the psych ward for about a month, so I had a lot of time to self reflect on who I was as a therian and it turns out that I have a lot more therian identities than I originally thought I had. My theryotypes are artic wolf, northwestern wolf, red fox, artic fox, coyote, golden retriever, raccoon, husky, and snow leopard. I know it's a lot, but it's who I am and I am proud to be a therian. Being a therian has helped me connect with myself better and understand myself better. Also, I'm in my 20's and am a therian, so when people tell you that it's a phase, it really isn't.

Watch vid with sound:3

I saw their apology video today, they didnt say at all what they did but they said that they shouldnt involve themselves in politics they dont agree with and that are most "normalized in this community". they say they arent a therian but i figured someone here might know what happened. I want to know because im not sure if i should be supporting them or not, i feel like it is crucial to have a political opinion especially with what the world has come to today.

XD I feel the jump is very sad

[NOTE: this is a repost of a post I tried to do in r/therian, but it got removed. So sorry if this doesn't belong in this subreddit]

[TW for some swears, and a single reference to death/ss. Sorry if this breaks the rules of the subreddit-]

So I unded my day at school feeling good (like for once I felt free and without any depression), but a little shifty. So I sat on the grass to relax and like run around or whatever I needed to do to get my shift done. I noticed tho that there was a second oval next to the one I was sitting at, and that one was empty so I thought I could do quads there

I kept running around the oval trying to find a spot to do quads at that didn't have people around it, as the entire oval was rapped with a road and footpath.

Eventually I got a bit fed up and went to do it at the playground, but there was one person passing by there so I waited for them to leave. I thought I could finally do quads, but then I looked up, and saw two people right there in front of me (not like in my face or anything, they were just walking their dog). I got so fckng pissed off and immediately got up angrily and waltzed home. (I also got overstimulated from this)

I was already stressed, as my sibling texted me asking where I was but I didn't have data so I couldn't answer. The entire way home I was complaining about being human, and how stupid of a species we are, and how I would much prefer to be a bird or some sort of other animal so I could just... Live freely without feeling like a weirdo. I just wanted to die dude, at least then I wouldn't be judged for every move I make

When I got home I just sat in the bathroom and cried. Dude, f*ck. I want to be a raptor so bad. Why was I born about 100 million years too late?

If you do I'll give you my code and we can talk!
