Have you ever tried to Meditate Cecilia? Maybe if you do you could find out if you are one
Maybe you just haven't awoken yet?

Yes I've meditated but I've never felt anything like an "awakening" I've never really felt anything that you guys feel. Sometimes if I try hard enough I can, but it still feels imaginary to me....

Awakening and shifting don't happen by forcing them, they happen when your ready to take off the mask of being human. When I shift, I do it by letting go of the human side and letting the animal take the lead.

I can keep a shifting up for a month event while at work, though it is getting harder for me to get the animal to want to stir in the first place.
Major Depressive Disorder, Feline Therian, and a sunny day usually mean my furry side wants to sleep in a warm comfy place over playing.

I come on this forum when I want. It's my forum profile. Nobody on here will stop me from venting, asking questions, etc.  And if y'all are gonna be jerks just because I'm trying to get my point across, leave me alone! Think before you type! Think on the other side of the conversation! How would you feel if you were getting yelled at because you are first world venting about your life, huh? I know y'all are trying to help, but- OH LAWDIE THAT'S A LOT OF WORDS.

Shifting can be forced. It's not as powerful but it can be. In my experience being a furry is a pretty close "first step" as far as what you can control. Pretty much just allow it to happen. It's more important to allow it to happen than to force it to happen. You may find you are stopping yourself more often than not. I've shifted, and do it fairly frequently. I have ghost limbs. It doesn't make the world instantly amazing it just becomes as normal as your arms or legs. You will get there but focus on the now. Not what could be

As far as my phantom shifts go, I can feel my ears just about whenever I like (considering that my theriotype is a fennec you can probably imagine how weird that feels) but the rest only really happens after I've experienced some sort of mass relief (on a sensory level not emotional) or I try to imagine it.

Sometime I get bad shifts, more commonly when I don't wear my collar, but most of the time they're rather pleasant and calming.
