HI
therian here!!
i'm here if u need to talk abt anything :33

therian here!! :3

i can help, if u want <33

@MothIsGone OKAY OKAY SO

@SkippButtr @_n0ah I just dont know who i am :/

wdym??

and like i also am surrounded by lots of unsupportive ppl all the time so i always feel the need to hide

@_n0ah

feel some sort of feeling that i might be a therian, but then again im just scared of being bullied abt it or just not supported, so i could also just be afraid idk

I feel*

I get that sadly :sob:
But i'll try to help as much as possible ^^

@SkippButtr tysm ^^ i appreciate it alot!

i understand. were here for you!
well lets start out w/ basic questions to determine if you are a furry or a therian, or maybe neither.
(cont

Ofc!!
If you have any questions, hmu!

do you prefer to cosplay, or connect? (for example, a lot furries wear fursuits n stuff, but therians only wear ears, mask, and tail.)

but at the same time, you dont have to wear gear and do quads. people just connected them. ))

@_n0ah Ive only used like wolf or cat ears for a cosplay and tail bit aside from that nothing much

@_n0ah and another thing i question alot is why i have so many dreams where im an animal

@SkippButtr question any ideas on how to be openly a therian? im deathly afraid of being judged or bullied

alright. well, some therians get that a lot, including me. i dont know the exact reason why, im pretty sure its because of the desire to be in an animal body, of your theriotype. after your dreams end, do you feel sad, or emotional, maybe even irritated/mad? if yes, thats a sign of you being happy during the dream, because your in an animals perspective, therians usually identify as an animal, really want to be one, etc.

@_n0ah in all honesty i used to want to be a furry when i was younger but got bullied out of it. And now when i wake up rom those dreams i just feel average, but i think about it the entire day and i wish to go back to those dreams

Ok so as someone who has the same fear, I probably won't be able to give advice based on pure experience, bt I DO think I can help
I would say take it slowly. First find a group online or something of other therians, and become comfortable with yourself. Then you can start to tell people you trust and that care for you. Once people start accepting you, that'll really boost your confidence. Obviously there's gonna be SOME stinky 5 year old making fun of you, but why should you let that cont-

@_n0ah and in those dreams its always either a wolf or a cat of some type. which seems valid since thats what i most identify with

affect you? Only let the opinions of people that you care about mean anything to you. You shouldn't have to be afraid to be yourself, and if they make you afraid, they all have the mentality of stinky 5 year olds :]

@SkippButtr i think i already found my gang here to talk to if thats okay with y'all ^^

so maybe, you used to think you were a furry, but when you discovered therians, you felt that it matched to what you wanted?

overall, i think your a therian, but the fear of being bullied, abandoned, hated, and even more by ppl, especially friends, is pulling you away from what you want.

I'm completely fine with that!! ^^
Could I add you in my bio?/obvnf

@_n0ah basically, yeah. But another thing is I also dont know specifically what kind of therian i am

@SkippButtr and yes!

Thank you!! :3
Any more questions?

hol up, ill respond in like a min or two, i gotta feed my bunny. lmao. TwT''

@SkippButtr uhh no I think thats all! again TYSM I APPRECIATE YOUR HELP

@_n0ah its alr dw -v-

alr back lol. bunni plez leave me alone.. ill give u another treat later))

well, me personally, i dont know which type i am yet. but, do you have shifts? (if u dont know what that is, feel free to ask, but i gotta warn, im bad at explaining)

Ofc anytime!!!

@_n0ah uhh im specifically leaning more towards cat, wolf, or even fox since ive dreamed of those the most, but im just not sure which one..

@_n0ah and whats a shift...? :sob:

i think what ur thinking about are theriotypes, what kind of animal you identify as/are/etc.

shifts are where some therians 'shift' into a state to where they act like an animal. ive never had one before, i think i had one maybe once, but i think it was because of how tired i was (half asleep)

@_n0ah ive 'shifted' like once in my life out of pure instinct when this kid was attacking me but I ended up 'scaring and severely hurting' the kid so ive tried to never do it again :/

(dang- you showed them lmao)

see, i dont really know if shifts are real. a lot of therians on tiktok pretend to have one on camera- you can tell they're faking.

that might have been one, but at the same time, you could be defending yourself, but animal like.

@_n0ah i was told what I did was animal behavior and
got in trouble bc of it. I Apparently lunged at the kid "like a wild dog" and was biting and scratching and stuff :sob:

dang

yeah, i think your a therian. start of small when coming out, like giving signs/clues to ppl that ur a therian. also, tell ur friends, or closest friends about it. if you feel like they wont support you, then thats okay. make sure to wait until you are comfortable.

if i dont respond, im either on wattpad or sleepin

@_n0ah alr im back. I dont wanna bother you but tysm for talkin with me<33 :D i really appreciate it and its helped me alot!

yw! anytime!! :3

@Vel_Here so cool

@MothIsGone yeah, lol-

a lot of them do

@Vel_Here Hey so I was just liking all of your posts and reading the descriptions and everything and uhhh.... what is a therian? Am I just uneducated?

@-FangedDeer- Im pretty sure a therian is just someone who like, spirituality identifies as an animal (I think) its different than a furry tho

@Vel_Here Ohhh ok ty
