Okay: I was 6 or so and I was watching YouTube with my brother. I came across this video with people in masks, acting like animals. At first I thought they were cool. I asked my mother who and what they were. She said they were weird and to stay away from them. I never looked at them again until I was 9. I did research and found out they had an emotional, spiritual/ past life connection to a specific animal(s). At the age of 10, I felt like I was part animal but also part human. I would always pick the animal roles, want to be the animal, play as a horse with my siblings and howl like a wolf. Those were the early signs. At 11, I dug deeper and found out about furries and more about therian and that it was a whole community. There was this one girl that was a furry and therian at my school and I thought she was cool but never talked to her. I made a presentation to my parents about therian, saying that you couldn't change and it wasn't a mental illness. My mom said that they were weird. stay away from them. At the mid-age of 11, I discovered I was a therian but didn't know what my theriotype was. It felt like It was switching between different animals. At the very early age of 12, I discovered I was a Black cat, a wolf and horse. Now I am here friends with a therian and we love to be around each other. <3
The animals I switched between were: Border collie, black cat, fox, wolf, caracal, otter and at one point a crow. It was really hard to figure this out but eventually it happened.
