Anyone Else Get So Much Species Euphoria From Being Called A Dog Even Though They Aren’t One?? I Think

i love distancing myself from humans more and more. it feels empowering instead of alienating, like i'm flipping all those negative feelings on their head. comparing myself to humans is like comparing apples and oranges.

i was alone on friday since the colleague that usually sticks by me at uni was absent, and by god was it the most peaceful, blissfull uni day

I like the colleague but god i'm not that social of a species, i don't need to belong, i don't need to feel included in the human game of let's be social for the sake of it or to be "understood" or "seen", i don't care, i just want to be alone. They are not my kin and i do not see them as fellow hares to casually hang around to graze.

I want to read my books and do my reaserch, draw, post, draft my thoughts, get lost in whatever corner of wilderness i can find, headphones in and let the veil drop for at least a second. The human's need for socialising for no real reaon or else you'll be asked "what's wrong????" is so so suffocating.

like or reblog if you still have plushies/stuffed animals. im autistic and need validation

As someone with really terrible memory I totally relate!! It’s okay that you don’t remember when you awakened, you’re not alone <3

I can't remember my awakening :(

The problem with having dissociative amnesia and be in the non human community is that I see all of these other beings saying, like, "I awakened in 20xx"

and I'm like I- I don't remember. I cannot remember . And then I don't feel valid, and I know it's stupid, but.

*explodes :(*

Like, idk if anyone can relate, but I don't even remember when I discovered what being non human/therian meant!!

Sometimes I feel like I just spawned here and it sucks!! I can't remember anything about me or my past.

...Anyway *eats little snack

(idk, I hope at least one of y'all can feel a bit less alone bc I wrote this)

it’s so wonderful that you have people who support you!! I’m really happy to hear about people who are able to live more openly as nonhuman!

It really sucks that your ex didn’t support you though :(

Creatures who have told their IRLs your nonhuman identity: how did it go? I’m currently considering telling my partner, but I’m just curious about other’s experiences!

(We have a really good relationship and I’ve already explained that I’m more of a snake than a human, but I want to tell her more about the alterhuman community in general.)

A quick reminder: your nonhuman experiences are your own. They don't have to be 'cute' or 'fun' or 'aesthetic' and don't feel weird if your nonhuman behaviours aren't like the average experiance.

There is no average nonhuman experience, don't think too much about how others perceive your behaviours because it's no one else's business.

sensory issues be like *turns up phone brightness to hear better* *turns off light to see better* *socks don’t have to match but they MUST be the same length and texture* *washes hands out of no where because they don’t feel clean* *oversensitive to one sense but undersensitive to another, related sense* *unlocks phone to concentrate*

being physically nonhuman explains why I don’t really experience mental shifts. I am always mentally me. My brain is not human, and so I never shift from a more human brain to a more nonhuman brain. I just am.

Oh the horrors! (Having to act human)

You cannot spend your whole life attempting to appeal to people who dislike you. You do not need to make your identity palatable for those who refuse to understand.

There is nothing wrong with believing you are actually an animal. If others say you are crazy or delusional for that, then so be it. Their opinions do not matter.

Just because they want to contort themselves to fit into the ideals of anti-kin doesn't mean the rest of us have to.

And if you think I'm crazy for believing I am "actually" a coyote? Take it up with someone who gives a shit.
