So I'm a sanguine vampyre and a therian I'm not sure about being dragon kin but I was told on the werelist to come here so I hope I can get alittle help figuring it out.
~ Why does therianthropy feel "right"?
I am still not sure if I feel it is fully right but I have twisted my ankle and yelped more like an animal not knowing till I noticed my friend mike was laughing at me and given a sorta canid whine of hunger that again I hadn't noticed until my aunt got mad and told me to stop at which I asked her stop what and she told me which to be honest was a little embaressing.
~ What is your "connection" to your therioside?
I feel not like I'm per-say connected to an outside animal but like I actually am an animal on the inside. like I am a wolf's soul some how born into that of a human body and I do shift phantom limbs and mental thus far. as weird as it is to say compared to some sites I do not physically transform into a wolf. cool as that may be I do believe that defies physics and there fore would be impossible not to mention the pain of such a change would probably kill you.
~ Why are you your therioside, and not something else?
I have felt my self running through a forest in meditation and seen my self in a reflection of moonlit water.
In that meditation a say my reflection as a black wolf and all my meditations especially when I'm doubting my self heavily I rarely see my self as a dragon but it keeps coming back and it's been 10 years.
~ Have you questioned your thoughts at all? Have you just given yourself answers to make therianthropy seem 'right'?
I have doubted it and at first when i was a teenager I actually had no doubts and blindly believed it. Even to the point that I believed I could physically shift for a bit there and that was simply me being dumb. I never felt like I was human and never did seem to act like other kids I was shy and reclusive keeping only to a small very close group of friends that were kinda like family to me and each other but when I truly started to actually soul search I wanted to do it on my own and I believed I was a lion for awhile but I wound up stuck to wolf in the end it actually seems to fit with me.
~ Have you ever doubted your therianthropy?
I still to this day doubt my self and doubt my therianthropy but something has always came up to cause me to not doubt it like a phantom shift crouching down to look at something and someone stepping on my tail which even though it's not physically there its a definite ouch!
~ Have you ever shifted, if so, what sort of shifts? Were they deep, were they triggered, how often?
I have made both deep and not so deep mental shifts I have made phantom of ears muzzle tail and claws and the muzzle has caused me to actually go for a drink and end up pouring it out on my self which is amusing except when it's hot coffee

;; I've managed to make my self run faster but I believe that's more adrenaline than anything else.
~ What do you hope to gain from joining these forums?
I want a place to share my experiences and to learn and grow. I hope to be able to be an acceptable return/addition to the forums and hope to learn and grow as well as share with others.
