Title: My body?
Post by: lightstone on April 08, 2018, 07:35:15 AM
sometimes I just don’t feel like I’m in my body and I belong in a body of another species, I don’t know which species body I should be in but not human. Can I get some advise please

I would recommend checking out therian/otherkin threads. Note that there is no scientific thing here, I recommend thinking of it as a minor belief/hobby rather than anything more significant. Ultimately what you choose to believe is up to you, just please don't treat this as an excuse to do something crazy, and remember, the brain is incredibly powerful and easy to fool.

See this thread for details: https://www.thefurryforum.com/forums/index.php?topic=12207.0

You took this furry thing way too seriously and you spend too much time on the internet. Don't do that. That's my advice. If shit will get real then you need a therapist.

I can't help you because I'm not a psychiatrist, and I'm not going to bullshit you with some "YEAH DUDE, YOU"RE TOTALLY A WOLF MAN BRO. DON'T LISTEN TO THESE STUPID HATERS. **censor** SCIENCE, YOU"RE A DRAGON".

Maybe you should question yourself whether  you really like another species and are not obsessed with it, or if its true what you are saying. Ofcourse I can't look into your brain, but I am pretty sure your feelings might give you the idea you want to be something else, just to escape reality.

You can always private message me if you want to talk, I'm also dutch by the way. (I got discord, check my profile)

In my opinion idea you are spiritually an animal is in my opinion no weirder than believing in gods and miracles. It is ultimately your decision. However my usual statments about religion apply, don't hurt yourself, and don't hurt others.

My own personal view, if you are interested, is that what your feeling is just a side effect of growing up, and your mind not being quite sure how to cope. I have never believed in the soul at all, and have always felt the simplest answer is usually the right one. Your body is confused due to the stress of being (If your profile is accurate) in your early teens, hence why your feeling something is "wrong".


May I request that people posting in this thread remain respectful of other's beliefs, however strange they may appear. You are allowed to disagree with something, but try to state your viewpoint without resorting to insults and swearing.

Since my original post is gone, I'll restate it in a less goofy way.

Don't hate yourself for wanting a different body--most everyone runs into that in some form, so trying to 'fix' yourself won't do anything helpful--your best bet is to learn to make the most of what you got, even if it's not what you would have chosen.

Soo...be frog. Don't try to convince yourself you don't want frog if you want frog.

Now you have explained what you meant, I actually agree with this viewpoint entirely.

yeah! i thought it was just a joke like be frog to throw in some funny stuff here! but i think Jay is right, because it started to happen when i left the forums for those 2 months and entered reality more, and it's starting to slow down cause i now have my way to exit reality again via these forums
