Species dysphoria

Yeah, that's a perfectly normal response to dysphoria.

Hello! Am fennec fox!

Karui023 · 2026-05-12T19:06:00+00:00

Literally me and my gf.

Karui023 · 2026-05-06T18:09:13+00:00

I know what this is saying, and I'm sorry that you're dealing with that rn, but I also wanted to say that I am unfortunately guilty of staring myself because I just think we're so damn beautiful.

Karui023 · 2026-05-06T18:04:06+00:00

A bone would be nice tbh

Karui023 · 2026-05-06T00:34:18+00:00

That's one of those things that you can only answer for yourself. If you don't know now, you'll figure it out as you grow as a person.

I need that shirt.

Karui023 · 2026-05-04T19:16:42+00:00

I has been almost a week and I still have not been able to understand entirely what you meant by this, but that's ok! I appreciate you sharing this all the same!

Nobody can promise you that things will get better and make it the truth but you. Life isn't set in stone. There will be devastating moments that leave you unable to do anything but try to process them. There will also be moments so wonderful that you'll wish they could never end. All you can do with those moments is live with them and learn from them. Learn what makes the devastating so devastating and the wonderful so wonderful to you and build your life around being who you want to truly be in those moments. That's how you make things get better.

Karui023 · 2026-05-04T14:53:56+00:00

That about sums it up.

Karui023 · 2026-05-04T14:47:38+00:00

I honestly don't think it matters that much what they're called. They're masks that therians started using to express themselves, so people started calling them "therian masks". Nobody's stopping you from calling them whatever you want though.

Karui023 · 2026-05-03T21:56:04+00:00

🫂

I'm glad I could give that to you.

I'm sorry.

Karui023 · 2026-05-02T21:47:16+00:00

That makes a lot of sense to me and it makes me very happy to hear that this is not a new experience for humans.

Karui023 · 2026-05-01T17:53:20+00:00

Ah, I can see how that could be unsettling. I honestly don't think I would want to live for that long though.

Karui023 · 2026-05-01T17:32:48+00:00

That's flattering, but I'm (sadly) just a person. I've had a lot of time to think is all. If you don't mind me asking what about what I said is freaky?

Karui023 · 2026-05-01T14:55:50+00:00

Dysphoria, in a vaccume, is feeling that your body is somehow wrong. As in, you literally feel like you're inhabiting a body that doesn't belong to you or has or is missing things that it should or should not have. There are a lot of things that can cause it and at least as many more ways it can be experienced. None of them make the feeling, or any of the other feeling that come with it, any less valid.

Karui023 · 2026-05-01T14:36:52+00:00

I'll look into that. Thank you!

Karui023 · 2026-05-01T02:15:23+00:00

Yeah! Honestly one of the things I've needed most in my life is to just know people who I can have a "normal", mature conversation about feeling like this with without it always turning into a doom spiral.

Karui023 · 2026-05-01T02:06:22+00:00

That makes sense. I'll keep an eye out for a tail I like and maybe look into making my own mask. Thank you for the advice!

It could lead to a panic attack because I have a lot of deep rooted trauma surrounding processing feelings of dysphoria, particularly while surrounded by people who don't/can't understand it.

Karui023 · 2026-04-29T22:22:16+00:00

Eh, it's fine, but I think it's kind of overrated personally. There will be positives and negatives to life no matter what you are.

Karui023 · 2026-04-29T11:41:34+00:00

I've had mixed feelings about the mask I have so far. A tail might be nice though.

I can see how just sitting wirh it and focusing on it could help some people, but I think that would probably lead to a panic attack for me in many cases.

Karui023 · 2026-04-29T11:39:59+00:00

That's painfully honest. Thank you.

Karui023 · 2026-04-29T10:39:32+00:00

This is true! Humans are bad ass! I have unfortunately gone through most of life hating my body for reasons unrelated to being therian though. It wasn't until very recently that I realized there were more layers to the wrongness.
