I’m new to this area of the internet, but I’ve lurked here for quite a bit. I need some help figuring this out.
How does one figure out if they’re a therian or nonhuman or something else?
I think Therians are really cool, your gear is cool, QUADS ARE AWESOME, and y’all are just really nice people
This is the autistic side of me probably, but since I was a kid I’ve been insanely into cats (not so much anymore though). I can usually name a cats breed by looking at it, I have a pretty large knowledge of cat behavior and communication, and generally just know a heck ton about them. That’s normal enough I guess, but-
Where it gets… a bit more unusual is I also sometimes act like a cat I guess? It’s not that I feel like one exactly- I just feel like me- but I’ll do cat things like perching on things, the way I sleep/act when I’m tired, and my general body language demeanor. I also feel like I have phantom ears sometimes (usually it’s ears, but it’s also been tail, claws, and fangs less commonly).
I dont have dreams or memories of a past life and I don’t have body dysphoria. I do kind of have dysphoria in the sense that I really wish I could/want to communicate the way cats do (ear/eye/tail positions, and vocalizations) etc. I don’t get outside much, but when I do it’s safe to say I act more like I’ve seen in Therian videos (sorry if that sounds rude I’m not sure how else to put it) than other people (jumping around, trying to perch on things, and never ever following the path lol).
I’ve been called weird (by friends in a lighthearted way) on multiple occasions because my impulsive reaction to a lot of things (being startled, surprised with something that makes me happy, feeling contented, etc) with pretty cat like sounds. I dont even think about them they just happen naturally. I also may have spent way too much time as a kid teaching myself to hiss like a cat- I’m still pretty good at it but never do it at people because it’s, ya know, not very socially acceptable.
It also feels notable that yes I do own those cat paw socks and yes I love them, and yes I have a whole collection of cat ear hats that I wear nearly constantly.
The main thing that’s confusing to me is I don’t really wish I had a cats body, but I have all this other stuff going on. Also, surprisingly, cats aren’t actually my favorite animal.
Any input is appreciated ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

having a mental breakdown over everything in the world :(
i feel like im mentally a human sometimes. but there is always this longing to be a cat. i want to be a cat so fucking bad. but this other part of my brain has trained itself to be human, yknow? i have been searching all night for what's wrong with me and i just don't know what. i don't know if im mislabeling myself. just human doesn't feel right. but im not fully a cat, yknow? it doesn't make sense to me.
please help./gen

sad vent
My mum won't listen to me and keeps calling me a "furry-an" even though I've explained that I'm a therian and it's been going on for so long that I have just given up.
Reblog if you relate

Mrrreow! Hey! :3
You can call me Storm - I am a therian Maine Coon cat! I have a blue/gray, tan, and white coat with faintish stripe patterns, which is called dilute torbie! My theriotype sort of looks like this:
Anyway welcome all therians and friends!!! 🐾🐾🐾🐈⬛🐈

I believe my therianthropy is very psychologically based. When my mood dips, such as being overwhelmed by my social life, I get very shifty. My theriotype helps me feel confident from within in this world.
Before I came into my therianthropy, I would fall back on my fursonas when I needed strength from within. Now those are for my creative self & passions.
