I finaly know what i am

[Kenai Bear]

I have allways been diffrent from all the other kids i have met, i have felt someone or something inside of me, not like pregnant women do... but my soul, This is true... search it on Wikipedia.com
i have knew what i was, but not what the name for it is, until i met an sweedish girl my age... (on a forum)
anyway, i have felt that inner glow af an animal, and that animal is shoot too many times per year where i live, The Bear. it may sound weird, but it is true... search for it at wikipedia.com it is Therianthropy

Hm! Interesting...Very interesting indeed...

I don't find it weird at all, I find it very possible in sharing traits of a non-human living being. I wonder if I got any, heheh.

I think we might have it all of us inside our souls and spirits. But yeah, I know how it feels being different from other people, trust me it ain't pretty.

the BDD part reminds me of the Impossible Creatures game. There was a part of the story that the bad guys tried to combine animals with human.

And there are a lot of things about Therianthrophy, from fairy tales like the frog and the prince to Chinese zodiacs ( I'm a water dragon ) to of course Disney movies like Brother Bear

Basically I think it points to furries and I find the statement of mental illness is a bit disturbing >.< I don't think it's weird.

Normaly, those that know something about therianthropy don't think it's that weird, but most people would acossiate therianthropes with furries, but that is not tha case, therianthropy is waaay different than furry fans.

"In some cases, one could probably classify therianthropy as a form of dysmorphia (a non-clinical term meaning a strongly held belief that one is not in the body that one should be in, or a general dissatisfaction with the form or capabilities of one's appearance). In that sense, therians who feel this way are similar to those who seek gender reassignment, or who undergo body modification in other ways"

I wouldn't believe such in this one case above; this reminds of Michael Jackson...

But besides that, I don't think I'd like to become an animal or change into one or have my body be manipulated in any way by human ways. If anyone is going to do anything with my body, it'd be the Man upstairs, He whom created me. But I won't get into religious stuff right here.

I know that if I ever wanted to become an animal or felt spiritually and even physically in tune with one, it'd have to be the Wolf.

And another thing, about the furry fandom. I hear a lot of crap from many people nowadays about how nasty and disgusting the fandom is, and how everyone is just generalized into those subjects automatically if they're in any way associated with anthro creatures and such. Every once in a while I go to this one different forum besides here and see people who are taking requests of any kind to draw, even ''furries'' (their term of furries is basically "God forsaken" in their own minds), and even after that, I got a response like this.

"No offense, but your character scares me, I don't want to do it."

...I don't understand, it's like everything in this world has to be stereotyped nowadays...

Ehhem. Sorry for going off-topic, but yea, I don't think it's weird either, in fact, I find it rather interesting. I'd be overjoyed if I had such characteristics realistically, but sometimes I wonder if I don't or do already... *pokes sharp canines*...Heh, j/k.

Also, another thing, I get in awe when I see Kenai transform into a bear through the northern lights... It's so cool.

That sceene amuses me too it looks beautifull ^^,

and the therianthropy is by those that dont know look upon as Furry fandom, but furry fandom is more around the art and not the soul, therianthropes have allmost allways the soul or brain, not the art in mind.

and the part about changin with human ways... NEVER!!! that is just crazy, if i could change i would, no dubt about it, but not by human ways, it would be by something like Spirits or magic (again: not the kind they do on TV) or something like that, or just beeing reborn
