How Most Of My Conversations Go:

How most of my conversations go:

Random guy: Why do you choose to be a furry? Me: I don't choose. and I'm not a furry. Random guy: What do you mean you don't choose, and ofc your a furry, your acting like an animal. Me: I'm not a furry, I am a therian. And being a therian is not a choice. And for your information I'm doing quads. Random guy: the hell is a therian, and why cant you choose? Me: well, A therian is someone who identifies, either psychologically or spiritually, as a non-human animal, and identifying as a therian involves a feeling of being connected to a non-human animal species on a non-physical level. but some people have it different. Random guy: And how are you a therian? you make no sense. Me: *tired of this guy* For me I know I'm a therian because I have theriotypes, A theriotype is the specific animal species, including both real and mythical creatures, that a therian, or person who identifies as non-human, identifies with. Some types of therians don't know, or don't have a theriotype. Random guy: how do you know what "theriotype" you have? Me: Finding your theriotype is a personal journey. There's no single "right" way to do so. It's about feeling a deep connection with a particular animal and identifying with its behaviors and traits. I feel a strong connection with curtain animals. Random guy: You know what? This is stupid and to hard to understand. Your just weird. I'm leaving.*walks off* Me:(mind) Thank God that guy is gone.

This Is very similar to a real conversation I had with someone and It annoyed me sooooooo much. But I guess I can't get too mad at the guy because not many people know what a therian is, and it's kinda sad in my opinion. I hoped this helped some people learn on what a therian is and please tell me if I got something wrong 😅 or missed something! Hope y'all have a great rest of your day!!!

Ps. this is my first writing story so sry if it's bad.
