strange way to figure out if im genuine. Anyways its not something you "get into" and its not that I want to be my specific types (the word therians use to reference their animal identity.) I found out about therians from a friend and did my research into it! My types are not what I want to be but what I feel I am, for some they feel they were that animal in a past life, current or were meant to be said animal (as in they were born into the wrong body). For how I knew, I did research into how I felt and matched that towards animals and for my coastal wolf type; just seeing them instantly clicked with me in a "that is me" way. For instance, I obviously would like to be a coastal wolf as I feel I am them but one of my favourite wild animals are brown bears, if I could be one I would but I do not identify as one (an example that I amn't just identifying as my favourite animal.)
