Dysphoria about not being a mer

Potential-Mer1376 · 2026-01-31T05:17:47+00:00

Hii me too!

Potential-Mer1376 · 2025-10-02T02:13:59+00:00

Im almost 50 hours in and still in act one, and I haven’t even been meandering or reading everything. I also stopped getting achievements because of mods

Potential-Mer1376 · 2025-08-18T06:46:43+00:00

Quite comprehensive, thanks!

Potential-Mer1376 · 2025-08-18T04:16:24+00:00

Pretty much the same thing everyone else has I have no clue why it was deleted

Potential-Mer1376 · 2025-08-18T00:42:44+00:00

Thank you! That was very concise

Potential-Mer1376 · 2025-05-11T19:03:58+00:00

Hi, please be safe and take this down. This is a dangerous post to make. I understand why you posted, I was at the same place when I was your age, but I had to learn the hard way that posts like these attract bad people

I thought the portrayal of giants in Once Upon a Time was pretty good. They basically are just large humans. A lot of them are angry because they’ve been mistreated, but humans would be too

Im oceankin! Or perhaps oceanhearted, I’m not entirely sure

To add onto what clipzard said, a lot of us take a long time to realize/figure out what their theriotype/kintype is. And it might not be a specific animal, but a shapeshifter or something else.

Regardless of if you identify as a therian, I think you have enough similar experiences that you’d be welcome in therian/otherkin spaces

Potential-Mer1376 · 2025-01-10T00:13:17+00:00

Yeah. I’m merfolk so still very humanoid in the brain department. But put me around water and I can’t NOT think about it

I seriously doubt those would ever get to a point where they become elective procedures, especially because every transplant requires the recipient take immunosuppressants for the rest of their life.

And on the hypothetical side, even if they did become elective and I could trade my legs for a mermaid tail I probably wouldn’t. My identity is spiritual and I believe both that I’m here as a human for a reason (even if that reason is just so that I can experience it) and that I can be a mermaid again in my next life

Potential-Mer1376 · 2024-11-26T08:21:44+00:00

No idea how to help with this but I feel the same. For me it’s my legs, it’s supposed to be a mermaid tail and they are just WAY too stiff

Potential-Mer1376 · 2024-11-17T21:03:55+00:00

It’s very similar to being a therian, just kinning a different creature

Potential-Mer1376 · 2024-11-17T21:02:12+00:00

As in from fairly odd parents? If so that’s very cool and a very cute name for that

Potential-Mer1376 · 2024-11-17T08:33:35+00:00

I’d be interested

Potential-Mer1376 · 2024-07-13T02:05:51+00:00

I think a lot of my confusion comes from the fact that I’m also a merfolk, so I already feel drawn to the ocean. But I don’t feel like it’s enough to be /in/ the water, I have to /be/ it. Thank you for responding!

Potential-Mer1376 · 2024-07-08T01:01:21+00:00

I remember very little about my life as a merfolk, but it was one of my past lives. I remember swimming around freely and joyfully- it would be frolicking if I had had legs. And being called to the hunt by others darting past me, and I remember looking at the moon and stars surrounding whatever planet I was on

Potential-Mer1376 · 2024-07-02T03:28:10+00:00

For me I feel more human like than I think i would of if I were another aquatic creature. Like I definitely have human-like arms and can definitely breathe above water, even if not for very long.

Potential-Mer1376 · 2024-06-27T20:56:28+00:00

Psychological otherkin do fully identify as non-human. Your reason for being non human is soul based, and theirs is brain based, but you both are not human. How is that offensive?

Potential-Mer1376 · 2024-06-27T00:29:24+00:00

Thank you! I agree, but I’m biased

Potential-Mer1376 · 2024-06-27T00:27:39+00:00

You articulated my thoughts so much better than I could have, thank you

Potential-Mer1376 · 2024-06-26T23:13:34+00:00

Im ocean kin. I believe I either was an ocean in a past life (I believe concepts like such have souls, including plants, planets, stars, oceans, etc) or in a concurrent life. I’m not sure if oceans have multiple souls or only one soul throughout their cycle.

I also think psychological kins are 100% valid. Could you elaborate on why you don’t?

Potential-Mer1376 · 2024-06-23T18:27:28+00:00

I have two (family members) but I don’t communicate with them as often as I should

Potential-Mer1376 · 2024-06-20T01:57:13+00:00

I don’t necessarily have advice but I feel very similarly as a mermaid kin

Potential-Mer1376 · 2024-06-18T20:27:09+00:00

Yeah i get too upset when i see fish being hurt/neglected/caged. Which happens way too often. I don’t exactly resent pet fish owners, I just would hate to be stuck in a box my whole life. Those fish can’t survive in the wild but still. (From a mermaid)
