Schizophrenia Is Not Just Experiencing Positive Symptoms (hallucinations And Delusions). A Lot Of Schizophrenics

Holothere

Holothere

a nonhuman label that describes individuals who are physically nonhuman

HOLOTHERE

[hol-oh-thyr / hɒləʊðɪr] from greek: "holo-"=entirely ; "ther"=animal,beast noun

1. A self-identifier term for individuals who are physically and fundamentally nonhuman in every way.

"I am holothere, i am and was born a selkie" "I am a bear holothere, but i also have a theriotyope so i identify as a therian when it comes to my non-physical animal aspects."

Holothere was created in the lack for an actual term for physical nonhumans, regardless of whether they consider their physical species a result of delusion(s) or don't experience them at all. It is meant to help those who are physically other find each-other and unite, in a way, under a term. _____________________________________________ NOTE that holothery does not inherently describe transformations, or the ability to transform. Some might, some don't and simply exist as they are; the term holothere only describes individuals who are nonhuman in every sense, not the ability to teach becoming nonhuman.

"Holothere" was made to be distinct from therian, otherkin and alterhuman communities and terms, although one might also have non-physical identities and view themselves as both therian/otherkin and holothere.

FAQ

i wonder, since you're also fae+changeling; have you also had that interest and ease in learning languages just because it would be easier to either hide or blend in somewhere else? It makes sense to me but i'm not sure if would be a thing for others.

I've been trilingual since i was a kid, french and english posed no problem but it seems that i have a taste for certain languages over others; german was hard for me to learn even if i studied it since i was in pre-k, for example. Spanish and other heavily romance languages are eqally hard. I much prefer learning slavic languages personally, since they're also close to home phonetically to my native language.

Oh that does make sense. Other than English, I’ve never had much luck with learning languages personally. I have always been extremely proficient with English, however I’ve never really tried to learn anything else. I think for me it’s due to the fact that I’ve never been motivated enough to stick to learning one. I learned some French in middle school, but just never saw the point in learning it when I never intended on going any place that required me to know French. I think if given the proper motivation I could learn another language, but since I grew up in America where everything is very English-centered I never found myself needing any other language. Apologies for the wordy response, this was an interesting question. I’d love to hear from other changelings to see if they’re skilled in learning languages.

ND things i’m really hoping other people can relate to

“you touched my arm and now i have to cut it off”

“i blinked wrong. i have to do it again. again. again. again. again. okay that’s better.”

“sorry i didn’t quite catch that. sorry could you just- yeah. what? huh? no i didn’t get that- could you just write it down?”

directions just go in one ear and out the other

and god forbid i have to talk to anyone with an accent

“i didn’t listen to that song right. i have to do it again. again. again. again. again. okay, better.”

the r a g e when your plan/routine gets disrupted

“oh that leaf brushed my left hand? okay cool now i gotta brush it against my right hand in exactly the same way or else i’ll Die”

“this has to be symmetrical or i will gouge my eyes out because it feels BAD”

the exhaustion that sometimes follows talking about a special interest

getting overwhelmed talking about/interacting with your special interest

“what emotion is this?”

“this is the only song i can listen to and it brings me a genuine feeling of relief/release to hear it. i must loop it over and over until i suddenly hate it. i don’t know why.”

randomly finding yourself thinking/talking like a robot and having to consciously switch on emotions/empathy

or the other way around, if you get overwhelmed

“loud noises are fucking terrifying and i will cry if i get caught off guard by one”

“someone i don’t like/trust/know touched this thing and now i can’t until it’s been washed”

p a i n

where is the pain coming from? idk.

what’s itching??? where is that???

“wow that hurt! okay, i gotta do it again”

feel free to add on!!

i need to be out in the woods so bad im gonna explode

there’s a lot of odd things humans do, but right now I’m very hung up on parades. I do not understand them whatsoever??? they are gaudy and overwhelming and very very strange to me

liking a character but lacking the brainpower to have any real coherent thought or clever analysis of them so your brain just kind of says their name over and over like a teen girl in a cheesy romance writing her crushes name over and over in glittery gel pen surrounded by hearts

The amount of posts I see on here, especially about delusion-related stuff, that are like "I don't experience this and admit I don't have a good understanding of it at all, but anyway here's my opinion on why something those who experience it do is harmful" is so annoying.

Holy shit, if you straight up know you don't know enough about this topic, just shut the fuck up. You don't need to share your opinion on shit that doesn't include you and you have no actual idea about.

i really wish ppl wouldnt automatically assume im being rude when im actually just uncomfortable yk ?

the way my limbs operate is like in veggietales, how they just materialize hands when they need them
