Title: How would I know if I was A Therian or Otherkin
Post by: EveKieJezRen on November 09, 2015, 10:29:01 AM
I definitely know I have wings
Never seen them but I imagine the are smallish and black
But I can feel them in my back when I'm super tired or concentrating deeply
I can stretch them out
I also had a little girls attention with them
I was at work and noticed her staring at me like little usually do (I kinda stand out XD)
I stretched out my wing and she followed with her eyes and then quickly looked back at my eyes and smiled
Idk I'm just curious XD

I myself am not therian or otherkin but I have looked into why people are like this be it real or not and I would have to say you might be a Otherkin due to the fact you have wings, some other ways to tell would be that you have dreams of flying or doing whatever your creature may be, other points could be increased senses like smell or hearing this occurs alot in other people who are otherkin.
To be honest Im not otherkin so I wouldn't know a lot about the social and mental behavior so you might want to ask on aboard that does know
Hope I helped!

I appreciate that you have asked this question as well.... I recognize my own, um, confusion?


I resonate with large cat creatures-the kind of feeling where you can see through their eyes, observe prey, etc. I also resonate (hesitantly) with Wolves....even have my own designed tattoo I was drawn to do on my belly.


However, I have three distinct "aspects" beyond the animals forms that have been my guardians and sanity keepers....a succubus, a pixie and more of an angel....and I can slip into their energy/personalities-I didn't really think of it at first until people starting noting the differences and feedback.....


I also resonate being a high level HSP so maybe I'm just a hyper empath?


I look forward to find out what makes more sense as time goes on but grateful I am not alone....

I've had the past few years to distill that down, great "teachers" to help me reflect on myself(ves) and a great partner who accepts all of it (and matches it well).


On the outside, first glance, I'm sure I pass for normal pretty well though, and most "others" I've found either wear it loud and proud or keep it to themselves. So it's kinda hard to find the examples one might need....

How does one know that they exist?  You just know.  If you think you are, you are.

That is pretty much the simplest but profound truth....

But everytime I see it
It entices me and I really wanna eat it badly xD
I'm also a big time collector of random things
Idk if makes me an Otherkin or not xD

I find when you have traits such as that, "wear the label" for a while. See if it feels right. See if it makes sense. If so, acknowledge it.


I treat some of these labels like totem or power animals. I don't understand why they have shown up but I accept them until they move on.


The path to self discovery can be as beautiful or treacherous as you wish...

 In real life, my cousin was a wolf in her past-life. A wolf is her spirit animal as well. She howls EXACTLY like a wolf, too. Canines are naturally attracted to her, and she most easily connects with them. She seems to "talk" to them by petting them or something. So, I think she is Otherkin. I'm not sure what you guys would think, though.


 And, if you can feel something inside of you, that's going to come out. It's the best feeling in the world when you can embrace who you are, and your animal side.

I found my theriotype by just looking at my behavioural patterns and seeing what animal was closest to that.

I have been thinking about therians and wondered if I might have some small part of it.  Here is my memories/thoughts/experiences.


Since I was young, I have always felt a little different.  I always attributed it to believing that I was supposed to do something great (like be a hero or something) but maybe it could have been something else.


I have always thought of living in the woods as my dream home, especially in a cabin that I make myself.


Today, it started snowing where I live and I got the urge to run through the snow.  The urge got stronger if I started driving through a wooded area without many cars or houses around.


When I have meditated, I haven't felt anything in particular but I wasn't meditating for the purpose of seeing if I'm a therian.  Either way, it doesn't matter too much to me but thought I would get some feedback to see what others thought.
