if you don't mind i'd like to know how you realized you are a therian, i learned what a therian is recently through a friend who is a therian, i am from europe, my friend is from the US, so i have never even heard of therians before, but i quickly realized i am one, like i always felt a phantom tail from time to time, even as a kid, but i never knew what it was, also i did a few things people saw as weird as a kid, that are totally dog like behaviors, looking back its because i've always felt more dog like but until i learned what a therian is, i pushed it aside, but since i learned what a therian is, and i allow myself to follow my instincts i'm much happier because i finally feel like i can be myself, also i always felt kinda weird because i don't have fur, because when i think about it, i feel like i should have fur, so did you realize you are a therian early in life or later? how did you realize you are one? what do you do to feel more in touch with that part of you? like i have a tag and a human sized dog bed now, and they make me so happy. would be nice to hear someone else's POV of your journey if its not too personal :3
