Tfw You're Noclipped In The Fabrics Of Reality Experiencing Multiple Versions Of Yourselves Overlapping

I really relate to the eating quickly thing. I don’t understand social meals. I eat fast and then eating time is over and it’s time to go. Humans make eating into a social event instead and spend long portions of time talking instead of accomplishing the task at hand as I see it. I think some other animals have social meals as well. I doubt it’s an exclusively human thing, but it’s not something my species does and so I find it very odd.

I also have to remember to chew my food since I forget I’m not supposed to swallow food whole.

I tend to forget to eat until food is actually in front of me at which point I must eat it all. Which I assume is due to me being an opportunistic feeder that doesn’t have to eat very often.

This might be one of my "weirder" rants but I think I came to a realization that the way I eat has been a pretty big sign my therianthropy.

Ever since I was little, adults in my life have been nagging me that I "eat improperly."

The biggest thing I got told off for (and still get told off for) is that I eat too fast, or a I take too big of bites when I eat. I never have understood why people thought this was such a big deal. I'm eating the way that is most comfortable for me and somehow that's the "wrong way."

I am eating like I should .

To me, this has been part of my disconnect from "the human experince." I don't eat like a human, I've always been eating like an animal; even without realizing it. Subconsciously eating as fast as I need so that my competitors don't take my food. Big bites, like a bear would. Sometimes even large portion sizes, like a bear would.

I would like to know other alterhuman's experience with food and/or eating habits. Does anyone else feel like they were eating a certain way or only eating a certain type of food and not realizing they were doing it?

relationships are so weird sometimes cause like, my friends were discussing how girls are hot and im just over here like “anyone wanna hear me recite stay calm from memory?”

geez the heart attack this hawk just gave me. all it did was fly overhead, but all my muscles tensed for impact…

Personally I call it the veil or glamour, but I like visage/aspect as well!

Little off topic but glamour has special significance to me since it describes the magic of the fae. Fairies are often described as “wearing” a glamour to hide their true form. For me this means I am charmed to look like a human being even though I am not one.

Offering a term to fellow physical nonhumans* for more natural sounding language/ease of explanation:

The/a visage OR aspect.

What you might see or others see of you even if it isn't actually what's really there.

These are preexisting words that are practically synonymous - visage is defined as being synonymous to aspect which literally means the "appearance to the eye or mind."

So I can say I am physically nonhuman, but my aspect or visage is human - humans see me as a fellow human because they simply are not calibrated to perceive otherwise. My aspect/visage isn't actually me.

*I guess you could use this as a non-physical nonhuman but if you acknowledge your physical humanity I'm not sure where it would fit? Oh well, I don't gatekeep the English language, LOL.

Hiya :) you're valid if you still partially identify as human. You can like drinking a perfect coffee while also like running free through an open field. Human things are enjoyable just as animal things are enjoyable! :)

I want my fangs T_T I always lick my teeth and am surprised by how smooth they are

me: i have alexithymia

person: wow i can’t imagine what that must feel like

me: yeah me neither

It's so sad that there are very few places anyone can go that provide that perfect secret little hideaway somewhere in th woods. Everything is someones property, public parks that are just grass, or housing developments now. I just want to be able to take a short walk from my house to some (not even that deep) woods and find a cool tree and make it my hang out spot and to walk along the naturally forming paths from other people and animals taking time to actually enjoy nature.
