Ye ye I know my intro is a bit messed up, my new editing software still takes some getting used to!
This video was requested to me a couple of times, to set an example of how one can find out if they are a therian or not. Of course, I am just an example and not the way to do it. But this video does provide some tips about how to find out if you're a therian, and what your theriotypes are!
Thanks for watching!

#therian #therianthropy
For the longest time i connected with dogs but i always felt more wild than a dog, then i figured out what wolves were and once i did it was a game changer everything made sense, my shifts my actions my dreams my memories
Guys I know what wolves are, I was very very young when i found out I was a therian, and when I was that little I didn't know wolves were a thing but i knew dogs were so I used to think i was a very large dog, I didn't have access to internet until way later in life like in middle school that's when I found the term therianthropy
I've always felt connected to Cats, but also wolves. I have dreams about life as this creature, and I always Am a black Cat with The mind of a wolf.
The way ive found out is ive connected with foxes and I have pretended to be a fox when I was younger, ive had dreams of being a fox but mostly dreams dont have really anything to do with it, When i started acting more like a fox even when I was older I started feeling happier and thats really how, I felt like me!
Same but as a kid I felt connected to wolves until I reacently learned more about foxes and was like WAIT THATS ACTUALLY ME????
Then I was like hmm I heard about therians before but I wanna learn more about it now
Thennn I was like ah is maketh cents now :)
@@bluezircon1564 :0 another fox therian?
I feel you! I’m a black wolf and always had and still do feel like I’m connected to dogs but more then that! I remember I was shot and hunted as a black wolf because I was “bad luck”… I am so much better and feel amazing. After I found out.. who I really was
Uhm, so, since i found out about theriantrophy 2 yrs ago, I always wondered if my theriotype is a wolf or coyote, since i really identefied as both of em, now, thanks to your tip I looked up coywolfs and it fits perfect! I'm happy that I finally found my theriotype. Thank you, the tip really helped me out
you can actually be both, it's called begin polytherian :)
Im a polytherian, my theriotypes are. Red fox, northern rocky mountains wolf and african lioness! 🐾🪶🍂🍁✨
I’m a poly therian as well. Grey wolf,black cat,Doberman,silver fox (possibly still researching possibly red fox)
You can be both tho?
Well then make a decision between both! I got wolf and cat so I'm a wild cat so yours is probably a spotted wolf
I'm not a therian, I'm a furry.
But I wanted to say, it is so interesting to learn about therians, otherkin, and stuff like that.
Love ur vids, it helped alot because I kept seeing stuff about theriotypes and it confused me.
Me too lol
I’m both therian and furry
@@AleshaMoore-bk6wq same
Same
OH ME TOOO
tip: write down in a journal about your expriences,urges, and behaviors and take another journal and write down as many animals you can find leave space between the the animals and research about their urges and behaviours and look at yours and the animals and compare them to your expriences and maybe you will find more than one animal based on exprinces
Very smart Idea thank you ❤❤
Thank you❤
…..now I just have to find a book to write in😂❤
My behavior was like that of a fox, but my phantom ears and tail(I always feel them), although a fox, behave like a cat. I think I have fox and cat
How I found out is every time I’m outside I have this urge to howl or just run into the forest but I can’t. then someone before I even knew about sports on all fours I was already doing it at a young age. I was obsessed with wolves,werewolves,foxes etc
So my types are kitsune and white/arctic wolf but I liked forest type biomes not winter so I think I might be just grey but I very light shade of grey
Same, i also have that and also run when im not with people on all fours (except the forest) and the animals, dont get me started on them
I feel the same way it's just I don't know if I'm a fox, wolf, lynx, etc.
urge to howl..? 🤨
I had a similar realization, like you described with you realizing you were a Betta Fish, when I figured out I'm a Collared Pika, I remembered an intense shift I had when I was a kid where I had dug this MASSIVE den in this dirt hill, like how Pikas and Rabbits do, and I just curled up feeling the cold dirt against my skin and I felt so safe and at home.
I always feel so safe around rocks and when I'm in tight enclosed spaces, I live in central Alaska so it's pretty convenient and easy for me to find a bunch of boulders or when it snows I can dig a tunnel in my backyard. Granted my dog doesn't crush it lol
If you have only had 1 shift are you still a therian
Yes, cause you had a shift
So I am a therian. I’ve had a few shifts but I only figure out I have a shift if someone tells me or I’ll find out over time
Not all therians have shifts
You don't even need shifts
Yes
Thank you I'm crying because I've been just doubting that I'm a therian and this has really helped
Therians don't exist, you're all on the road mentally-ill health and I'm not even being an 4rs3hoIe here for the sake of it, please get help, all of you.
😿😿😿💜
Same!
I really hope I am!
I'm friends with a therian that thinks I'm a fake🤦🏽♀️ it's probably because I found out I was a therian because they mentioned therianthropy to me and I was like "hey, that's me" and they probably think I'm copying them but I've always felt like an animal and I had always thought that was normal, and my mother even says I've "always pretended to be an animal as a child" haha plot twist, I wasn't pretending😑 sorry for the rant if anyone reads this but like, the friend that thinks I copy them/ am faking is a bit of an attention seeker and they're probably just grumpy that they're not different in one more way than me🤣 sorry if you see this, friend I'm talking about, but it bugs me. If anyone read this far I hope you have an amazing week! :)
my friends found out they were therian because i told them about it :> i know they weren't faking or anything because they were showing signs of being therian before i showed them
@@rockyzy ohhh if you think I'm one of your therian friends that you helped find out, don't mention this to those friends cuz I'm not one of them don't worry, I looked at your account and you're a really good animator, the friend I'm talking about is good but shows me all their animations and those aren't them and they aren't that good so, 👍you're good, none of your friends think you think they're faking👍👍
@@aarcher3238 ur friend is gate keeping being a therian :[ also what’s ur theriotype? Mines a bunny
@@moved7568 I've never heard of a bunny therian! That's cool! I'm a red fox for sure and I'm questioning a small rodent, maybe a mouse. It's funny because foxes eat mice so it's a little confusing for me 💀
@@aarcher3238 XD
Funtime fact: I have this picture of three gray wolves and when I look at the one that has a darker shade of gray (or any kind of gray wolf with a darker shade of gray) I just naturally think “That’s what I look like”
Also I used to think that I was half German Shepherd because I could hear pretty well and I loved German Shepherds! Same with me thinking last year I was half Arctic Wolf! But instead of the hearing thing I felt ears and a tail 24/7…
Samee
Pretty sure your a therian.
I thought I was a otherkin this is questioning if I’m a otherkin or therian😢
Edit:I found out I’m a artic wolf therian and I’m questioning if I’m a German shepherd therian (lol coincidence)
I think i might be a therian
I felt a tail and wings a few times😊😅
Wow... what you did with this girl, I wish I had someone to do this too!
I’m a therian it’s crazy for me, being a Therian was fun until I found out that I had species dysphoria
Omg Wesker from resident evil
It was never fun
I have crazy species dysphoria to the point where i silently sob in a tsunami of my own dysphoric thoughts-
YESSSSS, I JUST GOT MY FIRST BIG PHANTOM LIMB SENSATION!! I felt an almost tingle/tickle sensation around the back/top of my head. It really felt like ears that were connected to me. IT FELT LIKE IT WAS THERE. I’m really excited to discover what type of therian I am :D
OMGGG REALLY? ALSO SINCE ITS BEEN A MONTH, HAVE YOU GOT ANY CLUE OF WHAT YOUR THERIOTYPE IS?
@@camillasroses I’m still not sure 😭😭😭😭 pretty sure it’s a mammal tho
@@Purplefox4000 Ooh really? :)
I get these phantom feelings of having pointy ears, an enormous tail (like snow leopard length but wolf shaped), retractable claws, smilodon-size teeth, and feel like I should be walking digitigrade on all fours. I'll have them all at the same time. I'll sometimes move my lips as though I'm avoiding those long eyeteeth without realizing it until somebody asks what's up with my face, or I'll try to pick up things with my claws and then get confused when they aren't there. My behavioral urges are mostly feline, basking, head-butting, primarily independent but occasionally super clingy. Am I a therian? And if I am, what kind? I haven't really found any animal that has all of the above characteristics.
Sabertooth Tiger?
@@butterqueeen If it weren't for the tail discrepancy I'd agree. Sabertooth tigers had nubs according to the fossil record. I've got something as long as my body.
@@ThornWolf1 Maybe some kind of hybrid 🤔
@@butterqueeen That's what I was thinking, but I wasn't sure if therians could be hybrids or if there was a different term for them. I'm still not really sure how to go about all of this and I worry about offending someone in the community who knows better than me. I probably don't have to worry so much, but I have a terrible guilt complex.
@@ThornWolf1 I think therians can be hybrids. Nobody should get offended by you. It's your life, not theirs.
I get so excited when you post!😁😁
I randomly associate days of the week with colors. Same goes for numbers. This is interesting to know about!
Thank you for the clarification, by the way. I was always iffy about being a Therian. I knew that being a Therian meant that an individual felt as if they weren’t entirely human, but I often got this mixed up with the urges and instincts [constantly believing that it was about these]. I never felt entirely human, and I had instincts and urges, though they were stronger and more frequent when I was younger, as I would often roleplay as a wolf. I’m in middle school now, and after being told that I’m not an animal [and to a certain degree, feeling quite upset about it] when I was younger, I learned to act more like a human. Recently, there were two times when I had gotten upset and I bared my teeth without thinking. Therefore, I do believe that I have urges and instincts to do things that aren’t like the human way, but only every once in a while. [However, I did find out another thing recently. Occasionally, I will let out small, high pitched noises that I believe that only I can really hear, unless someone were to move in closer. I think that this may be my way of whining. To clarify, one of my so far confirmed theriotypes is an Alexander Archipelago Wolf.]
Oh, and now that I think of it, I have a thing for music [not like I play the upright/string bass, piano, ukulele, baritone ukulele and used to play trumpet, recorder [from school XD] AND the harmonica all while being almost completely unable to actually READ sheet music [sorry, this for a little intense]]. So I’m almost wondering if my wolf Theriotype is associated with music. After all, they sing beautiful songs!
How you ever checked out synthesia? It sounds like you might have it, from your very brief description. (I might have spelt that wrong sorry)
Random, but I have something similar where I associate numbers with personalities and me and my friend usually have similar answers if someone asks what number they are 😅
as of the earliest i can remember, i've always had a connection to wolves and sometimes called myself one and once called my house a den, i once got in detention in kindergarten for accidentally growling and lunging at a kid (maybe an early shift?), i once tried to do quads at a very young age (going on all fours, not quite more like a baby crawl), i've been having the urge to howl and bark lately and just really also had the urge to go outside and make my own little den/abode somewhere but i'm not sure when to start(fyi i live in a trailer in an rv park) and i'm planning to get gear one day but i’m not sure what my parents will think, my parents already know i'm a furry so i'll probably try to pass it off as just "wanting to explore" and "wanting to wear a mask and tail" i guess? i've also tried meditating and got some memories of my pack and a bit of how i died
DAD!!! WAKE UP EVEN THO ITS 4 AM! THERIAN TERRITORY POSTED!!! THE KING IS BACK!!!
All my life I've had a very strong connection to birds. When I was a kid I always thought that if I move my arms fast enough, I'll be able to fly. I'd jump across the couch trying to get as high and far as possible. At school I'd pretend I was a stork, or a parrot, dragons too. Just anything that could fly.
aside from that, I've had a ton of dreams wherein I wanted to fly, or was an actual bird. at first I never really could fly, but I've learned to do so in my dreams.
Also I remember when I was around 7, I realised I wasn't a bird ,and that I'll never be able to actually fly. I remember how much I cried that time :,).
I'm still figuring out what this connection means, if I'm a therian or something else, but your videos are really nice to watch, thank you!
Since i was 4, i always felt like i wasnt even a human, i felt like i had an animal inside me, i love nature, i would always go outside and do stuff like collecting flowers, chasing my friends or cousins, ive always felt like i had an animal inside me, which i found strange, so i dont know if im a therian or not but im currently trying to figure out if i am a therian or not, i actually believe that i am a non-human animal on a non-physical level. I was run around my room acting like a fox, jumping on my bed like a fox does, etc. I will write it down in a book/i will make a journal about this and i dont know if i am a fox or wolf so i will look at any animals that are like them, thanks for giving me advice.
Ok, I know I'm kinda late to comment, but whatever. I'm 13yr old girl, and I have just found out that I'm a therian. I think that I might be a white tiger and a little owl (yes, there's a specie of owl named, the little owl), but it's not 100%. I've been looking up and leaching my theriothype for about 3 months now. I know it'll take much longer to be sure of it, but for now, that's what I have. My friend Emma, she also a therian and she thinks she might be a western wolf and maybe a hyena. Me her have this weird but cool connection, and we think are souls we're together in are past life. We're both still looking for answers, and we're both no 100% sure. I love your videos, and they've helped alot. Tysm for everything ❤
Its my 4th anniversary of figuring out im a therian (im a wild black cat and a timber wolf dog). You and PD have been a comfort to me for figuring this out. Thank you for being here for me! :)
Hearing everybody talk about how they knew when they would pretend to be an animal as a kid or how they always had a connection to nature as a kid makes me so sad because I can't remember a lot of my childhood, I've lost most of my memories. If ykyk. So, I can't even be sure if I showed signs of therianthropy at an early stage or not and I'm having such a hard time trying to find out if I'm therian or not :(
Very currently, I’ve been having sudden urges to (like a cat) plop or roll on the ground, and it just feels satisfactory when I do, I also somehow feel sort of connected to cats, for example, sometimes when something happens to a cat, other people would be like, “oh, that’s so cute” or “how adorable” but I see something wrong with it, and feel horrible for the cat, I had also once had the urge to just jump around like an animal, and I just felt amazing while doing so, and when I had been done, it was just satisfying . I know I’ve already said this, but I’ve been recently also experiencing urges to roll or plop. I also feel very connected to nature, in a way. I also just don’t feel free. I’ve cried once because as I said “I’m not free, I just wanna be free.” Referencing me wanting to be alone in a nature-type setting . The nature just makes me feel safe. I just wanna run around in the leaves. I’m the comfort of the forest, with all sorts of animals. I just kinda wanna be an animal. You can run and play anywhere, and just be free. I’ve also yesterday just been confused with my normal-human legs. They just don’t feel right in a way. I’m still not 100% sure if I’m a therian or not. I need someone to tel, me pls 😩😩
That sounds almost exactly the same as I feel, and I don’t know what to do 😩
I kinda have your same "story". Since I was little (even if I'm just 14) I've always felt like a wolf, but I didn't know what therians were. I just figured out what therians are (I did like 3/4 months ago) and that was the answer to my question, cause I've never actually felt like a total human
When I was younger not any clue what a therian was, I went to Niagara Falls with my parents and I was walking on all 4s just enjoying myself and when I turned around 7-12 other children were walking like I was. I felt so happy, I was pretending I was a fox 😂
That’s so cool 😭
I had many connections with foxes, I have some instincts to reply to them, talking in their languages, making noises, and also having the feeling of eating dead mice.
What the
Me to. Also with cats. My dad litterly called me "the cat whisperer" cus I litterly would copy their moves and communicate with them and every time I would drag my sibling to say hi to my cat friends the cats would run away even though I told them she was friendly. I also for some reason feel like I should cjase any small wild animal. Like birds or bunnies. Although I don't think I'm therian even though the online test said ''yes."
@@amygdalaschild*DO* NOT take a online test.
@@-S0DI-Sodi- I did, but I already knew I was one before that. I just did it for fun.
@@amygdalaschild ok
IK if ur a therian and ur animal hearted u can have camo shifts but can u get shifts if u not a therian but animal hearted? 🌱🐾🦮🐺
Only cameoshifts, shifts are only from therio/kintypes. If it's not an animal you identify as, it's a cameo shift.
@@TherianTerritory ok thanks 😊
THANKYOU SO MUCH!! this really helped! I always felt like I had a connection with wolves and I always loved doing quadrobics so this really helps thankyou
you know that quardrobicks don't make you a therian right? (no hate)
@@goda1300 yes I do! and sorry I didn't respond
no idea how young I was, but it was somewhere in nursery when I started to really get into nature, and when all the other kids started playing, I somehow knew what a cat was and only ever played as them. it just felt right? I never liked playing as human characters. I loved nature and all, and proceeded to try and act like a cat before my family even got four cats. I don’t understand where I learnt cats from in the first place…
edit: also, I’ve always ‘walked’ up my stairs on all fours, and I still do. no way can I change it either!
Your videos helped me find my theriotypes! ^^ I will always watch your videos!
A very informative video! This was exactly what I was looking for!
Now I'm just kind of putting down a summary of things I've noticed, mainly regarding me being a furry before realizing I could potentially be a therian/otherkin, but I don't wanna jump to conclusions right away. I don't want to end up being a fake therian/otherkin after all.
Lots of behaviors like phantom limbs, feeling connected to the woods and water, playful wrestling and howling I wrote off as just furry like behavior. The more "wild" behaviors I stopped doing after going to highschool, but ever since coming into contact with therian videos again and being fascinated by it, I started looking more into it and slowly trying to let that inner beast out, so to say?
Even tho I have a fursuit, the tail was very stiff, so I got one of those keychain ones and I love wearing it with my ears. When I visited the woods and the sea a while back after a long time of not going there, I felt like I was at home? Even more than at my own place somehow.
When first hearing about shifts, I didn't think I'd ever had them, until I remembered the times I was cycling fast, had Celtic music on and I could just feel the wind go through my fur and felt like I was running on all fours. And whenever I feel intense emotions, I can feel my phantom ears and tail move with them, sometimes even going as far as wanting to rip and tear people apart when I'm angry.
Theriotype is gonna be a difficult one still. My fursona is a wolf, an animal I've been obsessed with since I was 10, which is also when I created my fursona, before even knowing what a fursona was. There's a couple of things listed above that do point to that too. A friend of mine said I reminded her of a fennec fox though, but I sometimes have the tendency to make purr like sounds which I used to write off as a stim. My cat "talks" to me with the same purr-like meow he uses to other cats though. Sooo that's already 3 potential animals, unfortunately all very common for therians, so higher chance of me just being a fake I guess.
The only thing missing here is the connection to water/sea, which I've had my entire life. Swimming and diving, especially with flippers is something I always loved dearly. So when you mentioned the betta in your video, it kind of opened up a new door? I don't think I'd be a betta, but it's definitely good to look deeper into that side of me. I know penguins used to be my fave animal before wolves, so that might be a good place to start?
Sorry for the wall of text, this turned out to be wayyy longer than I thought lol. But yeah, kind of curious to see what some therians/otherkins think!
im a dhole therian and i was actually kind of surprised when you mentioned them! there are so many in the community who dont even know about dholes. its kinda sad because they are very beautiful and unique animals
Damn, i felt so happy when hearing your cjildhood story... I really, really wish I could have a friend like the one you had.. all my friends kniw what thetians are and agree with me but i feel like i can't fully relate with them.
I just want to feel light and run in the woods as fast as i can, feeling happy and free
7:03
I you’ve taught me something new today. This is actually really surprising to me because that’s how I’ve done things my whole life. When I look at my favorite book I’m reminded of a smell. I give numbers personality. When I think of certain memories or events I think of colours or sounds. When I go to places I like or even just think about them I’m reminded of colours or smells even numbers at times. When I’m scared im reminded of some colours (I don’t take much note of it so I can’t think of them right now) and when I’m sad I think of a smell or just a weird gut feeling
i knew i was a therian at a very young age i just didnt know the name, and i thought it was some new term when i did.
i always liked running outside on 4's hanging out with my dogs (my 2 collies i babysit now from my mom) and running through fields with them, 4's or with no 4's and just regular walking
back when i lived in a literal forest, i always spent everyday with my dogs, winter and summer exploring
i never barked though or did vocals, but i do know how to meow realistically and still working on the barks.
but this video really made me get that memory back with the feelings i had
edit: to have the connection to have a friend to make huts and go "hunting" (collecting leaves and mushrooms or moss) and dig holes and find stones to collect together would be amazing again tbh
ive always been so good at meowing, that I even found out how to call over a cat in their language. Also, it kept following me, and was really nice, acting cute and stuff. Idk, maybe I got a connection?
Even I middle school I’ve always felt a connection with Arctic wolfs and I’ve never heard of being therian before now, I’ve honestly just called myself a extreme furry. I’ve done a lot of research now and I truly believe I am a therian. Like I said I’ve always had a connection to Arctic wolves. I’m just not sure how to get started or like embrace it fully, if that makes any sense. Do you have any tips?
Everything just makes a whole lot more sense now. And like I’ve been so embarrassed showing even a little bit but now it’s like I can’t deny my urges anymore
@@ryan_smokes Try expressing yourself by doing quads outside, this helped me connect with my theriotypes
Now that you’ve mentioned it, I always felt a connection with dogs and cats since I was little and for a longer period of time I identified with a grey wolf and a snowleopard (from summer 2022 on).
When the winter holidays began I found out about Therianthropy and was questioning a lot, well ok I’m still questioning a few things tho-. It was about 23rd of December to 30th of December 2022 when I found out about therians.
I really like forests, mountains, and snow(damn I love this) and I have built A LOT of little houses and tents in the woods with certain friends of mine and we are still getting along pretty well.
We are sometimes still playing like wild cats or wolves and fighting over dominance which is actually a lot of fun to us:D
Well now I’m questioning if these two animals are my theriotypes, because I do identify as a therian and I go into a kind of wolf and cat direction, but I’m still not 100% sure. But I still do feel connected to them.
So if you know if these are my theriotypes or how I can go to find more details about them, pls answer, it would help a lot
Have you considered an Arctic fox? Foxes are technically canine but show traits of both, and it could go with the snowy winter theme
@@lynxmauls no I haven’t, thank you for mentioning that, I totally forgot! Thank you, I will think about that:)
Everything you described is EXACTLY how I feel!! I also used to have a friend her name was piper and we used to play dogs together and to me it felt so right like this is me and this is what I want to do and I’ve always been so connected to nature and the woods like WAY more than a human should’ve been like i love the woods so so much I think I guess one of the biggest signs that I am a Therian is that one time when I was about nine years old me and my mum were at their store when I wandered over to the cat toys I picked up a cute cat toy and brought it over to my mum and BEGGED her to get it for me, ofc she said no and I threw a fit in the store. I’ve always had a sense that I was different from other people regarding animals and I think I now know why! Your videos have helped me so so much thank you Thorn! Sending luv from Michigan. 🫶🫶🥰🦌🐈⬛🐕
i remember i would always crawl around and jump on the floor and outside like a cat when i was little, and i always felt a connection to big cats, and i found out im a Caracal therian! i remember getting these weird like memories/flashbacks whenever i would do certan things. i used to LOVE quads and i would always pracitce. now that i know i am therian, i practice much more
OMG thx sooo much for answering my questions I’m shooo,kk
When I found abour Therians, it just clicked to me that I was a Dire wolf. Just everything clicked, also. I’ve found another one, a seal lol. I’ve always, when going into the water. Moved around like a seal would and just the behavior I did. It was so nice
Nothing clicked you are just a normal basic human nothing else
I honestly don’t know if I am a therian or not but I am trying to find out. And honestly I can kind of relate to the story of you and ur friend about the wolf thing. I don’t have a forest or anything wander into, but I know that I love the outdoors and for years and years all the way until me and my friend have claimed territory as ours, howled, and honestly I feel that there is some kind of animal inside me. But I can’t confirm it yet, thanks for the tips tho! Very helpful. I will continue to try to find out if I am possibly a therian
I love your intro! It’s so cool!
I believe I am a bear therian. For the past 6 years I've compared myself to bears and before that my best friend said I'm very much like a bear. Middle school I started to hibernate after eating a lot of food. I've always like climbing trees and kind scratching em. This video along with my gf has made the biggest point out to me that yeah I'm a bear theriotype.
Wow this video really helped! I remember not knowing whether I was a wolf or something else. I always felt something with the sea or water, so I found out about sea wolves.
The logging non-human behaviors tip wad great!
thank you so much for the advice! it helped a lot :)
As soon as I heard of therian I immediately knew I was one, I've always gotten along with cats and had a connection with them and realized I was a ginger cat in a past life, then I started liking wolves and found out I was a wolf and I figured out a bit after that I was an alpha as a wolf. Sometimes I feel like I'm not a true therian because I am always conscious during shifts and I don't freak out during shifts and I don't get upset by being human and I don't feel like a therian sometimes but then I remember I'm a therian even if I'm not like everyone else.
Dw not all therians need dysphoria
I’m surprised there’s no comments yet
This explains more to me thank you. I always loved climbing and being in high places, I always loved puzzles and trinkets. I’ve also always been jealous of birds. 😮
Thank you so much for helping me find my theriotype! I always thought wolves, cats, dogs, and foxes would be my theriotype. But really, I think I like maned-wolves or dules more now. They are majestic creatures. I’ve always looked forward only for wolves, foxes, dogs, and cats, but now, I changed my mind. You do great content and you help people find out if they are a therian. I’m still thinking if I’m a therian, but I’m taking your advice. I’m gonna write down the things that haven’t been really human like.
Man oh man this does help but I am severely stuck. I am for sure a coastal wolf therian (Ive practically known this my whole life) but Im sure there's something else there. I have had many shifts (phantom, dream, bilocational) of something flying that I believe is a hawk but maybe a dragon even? I have no idea!!!
OmG same
I have always felt connected to cats. I had an unusual connection and when I’m near my cats I get subtle flashbacks. Before I knew about therianthropy I didn’t think of anything. Until a year ago. I found out about therianthropy and I did a ton of research, that’s when I got my first phantom shift. I felt me when I was at the shelter playing with British shorthair cats. I just didn’t feel like human. I felt phantom tails and phantom ears for the first time. I knew what shifts were but I have never gotten one at that time. This was my first shift and it felt like me. I knew I loved cats but British shorthairs are different. I didn’t just love them. I felt connected on a non human level.. these were the only cats that gave me shifts.. i went home and researched a ton about British shorthair and big cats like cheetahs, lions, cougars, and even pumas. But none of these cats seemed to be me. I then researched all night about therianthropy and learned a lot. Now I know that I am a therian and a British shorthair is my theriotype. I do feel connected to horses but I am not sure if that is my theriotype or just a connection. I am still doing more research over horses and for now I am not saying that it’s a theriotype. Your videos have helped me so much
I’m possibly a cat Therian as well
I love your videos so much!! I found ur channel before i kinda discovered my otherkin type, im a dragonkin btw❤
I’ve always felt connected to dogs, Golden Doodles in particular. I’ve always felt these… clicks to them. This video helped me a lot i love your channel thank you so much
I’m kinda questioning if I’m a therian because sometimes I accidentally make growl sounds when I’m angry and once my sibling said “stop acting like an animal “ I also kinda use my nails like claws and many times I accidentally scratched my sibling idk is this normal? I’m also a furry.
I also would play with my friends we would play family and I would want to be a dog or cat
You might be a therian ! 😊 but you have to find it out you’re self or research more Im still questioning my theriotype
@@hkostwinder mhmm thanks for replying and informing me a bit have a good day/night ❤️
@@user-bp1so3hm7c no problem!
Can you be a Therian even if you have not always felt that way?
Yes
@@Impericide ok thanks for replying it really helps! :)
Purrr in relief 🥹
When I was about 10 I started feeling like I could sort of connect with animals in a strange, non-human way, this video now has me starting to question if I might be a therian, I will make sure to do plenty of research and be absolutely sure about this before I say I'm a therian.
UR THUMBNAIL IS SO CUTE!
The way i found out that i was a therian was because of this friend i used to have. Now my school has alot of those rude cringy football boys that are just annoying. So there wasn't alot of people who were into anime. There were also like no furrys/therians, now this girl i met because her toxic friend left her and she had no one and she was a grade higher than me but we got introduced and we all got along. She quickly started to invite me over to hang out and i got to know her better. On the first day we hung out, she explained that she was a therian and what they are. I realized that i related to that. She told me what its like ect. And alot of that has been happening ever since i was in 1st/ kinder. I had always felt connected to cats ( specifically orange taby cats.) so thats how i found out! I also helped my cousin find out that hes a black cat therian :))
No way you just called someone else cringy when you are a therian
@@Lag1102 what.
When I was young I thought I was a cat. I constantly wanted to explore the woods behind my house, (which my parents absolutely did not allow) and put my hands into paw formation quite often. Recently I got into warrior cats, which only increased my want to run free and catch mice in the calming forest. (Thanks Rusty...) But I'm pretty sure I'm not A therian because I don't feel that I have the mind of an animal. No phantom taila, ears, ECT eitherr. Comments, help me.
Its absolutely fine that you dont have shifts, phantom ears tails or sum. I, myself think that im a therian. When i was 4-6 i was OBSESSED with tigers and dogs. And i found out about therianthropy about when i was 8. I kept making dens and scentmarkers, and marking my territory. I also ran on all fours, i really thought i was a german shepherd. But now before that all i kept googing "how to be catlike". Lets ignore that. Now, i feel like im feline. Everytime i see a shelf i have the urge to jump on it and snuggle in it. And sometime i want to climb trees, or run outside like a maniac. I still dont know, when i was younger i somehow connected a lil with dogs and cats, but dont feel connected with nature. Still, i recommend doing research. And its totaly fine if youre not a therian. Remember, you are just the way you are, and you can be like younger me. (Running on fours, making animal sounds and making dens, etc) i hope this helps!
You guys talkin about animals when I was 6 I was obsessed with cats I still love cats but I’m sadly not a therian
Ummm the video is talkin about if you feel like you Could accumulate with them that’s what I felt when I pet a stray cat
I don’t think im a human I think I’m a …. I don’t know yet!
I love ur content thank u for helping me find my theriotype!
This is very helpful im still looking up stuff but yea thank you for this video❤️
all fakers are wolf but not al wolfs are fakers
Well said my dude!!
In the bible, it said that in hell, your bones and body gets so hot your bones glow red. im not saying you're not feeling like you're an animal and have no hate because of that buuut it's probably a demon inside of you doin all of this just read a bible please no hate again sorry i had to say it ok thank you for reading this (if you did) :/
I literally had a shift while watching this , my first ever , it was crazy . But I felt free , it was AMAZING , I've never felt that free .❤
this really helped me you explained it realy well thank you!! :)
Go to sleep hahah
*uploads videos at 2.30 AM* XD
When I was very little, around 6, I made a wolf pack with a bunch of little kids like me. We would howl, do quads, tackle and everything. I honestly don’t know how I wasn’t bullied. But almost everyone around me, except for one kid, grew out of the “wolf phase” after that we would have play dates but she would be scared to play our wolf games infront of her mom and I wouldn’t understand. I would jump around her room but she would get upset because it was like I was taking the game too far. When I moved schools I tried to make another wolf pack with some other kids but they pointed it out as weird and how odd I was. I had and always have, had a strong urge for a huge pack or family. Over these years, I was bullied, and manipulated, and pushed around because I was found as weird and I wanted to just have friends, any friends, I would do anything for them which lead to a very bad stage in my life. (I’m not a wolf therian I’m actually a coyote therian :>) another one of my stories is that I was a lot more conected to nature then other kids were, when my family and some other kids (this is when I was older around 11) went on a hike with a river, I immediately slipped in and splashed around with my dog. Some of the kids kinda joined it but most of the time they were just trying to talk and like go for the hike. Another one of my stories is that I used to go to this beach all the time with a big log in the shallow water, I would lay beside it and pretend to be sheltered. At this same beach there were tuns and tuns of minnows so I would put on my goggles and swim with them, as some point I had gotten a strong urge to launch forward and chomp but obviously I didn’t because I knew that it wouldn’t be worth the consequences. (I’m questioning an eel theriotype)
Thank you so much for this video, I seen this when it first came out and I was questioning a fox and a wolf, and I looked and researched that my theriotype is a jackal. Your my idol btw, ✨🐺
TYSM so much thanks to this video I found out I am a therian! I think ,I'm still just a kid but ever since I was like 3 and 4 I have always felt a special connection with animals and nature,I always run on all fours chew on things,growl at and bite my siblings,howl,sniff and this might sound wierd but I always feel the urge to mark where I've been the way animals do I think you know what I'm talking about...instead of playing with other kids at school in the field I would run on all fours chew sticks and just lay like an animal I would even eat grass....at church there is a huge meadow surrounded by forest I run and jump like animals even marking (still super wierd) but I just felt the inner animal inside me it just felt right I'm still not sure what animal I am but I will do research... I think I'm either some type of big cat,a wolf,or a fox so TYSM again ❤❤❤
I’ve always felt like I wasn’t human and I’ve always been able to purr (kind of) like a cat or meow like a cat and sometimes I can sort of understand cats, and since I was young I felt like I didn’t belong like a human or I felt I was misplaced as a human. And sometimes I show my love by rubbing up against people (like how cats do it), I’ve recently been looking into therian type stuff and realized a lot of therian things people do are very similar to my experiences. I still feel like I’m spiritually a cat and that type of stuff but I’m yet to find out if I’m a therian
I didn't know if i was a therian or not due to the odd place where i live but i've lived with cats my entire life and always felt a connection through them and i didn't know what it was. i found out about therians and i was fascinated. for a couple of weeks i learned more and more about them and i thought i wasn't one. but one day i really wanted to know and it brought this video up to me. it really helped and i'm glad i know now. My inner cat says thank you ^^
I find nature very calming and truly a place to live in, like imagine living in a house in the forest! I'd love to listen to the waters and streams
I am trying my best to find as much as info as possible. I find myself related to to velociraptors. I'm light builded, and sometimes when I just wanna get to the couch faster I'd run and jump on it. Similar to a velociraptor jumping on its prey. I'd honesty mostly choose meat over sweets. The only veggies I will eat are pickles. I'm always bear foot in my house. Sometimes when I'm running my mind imagines me as the exact same dinosaur. A type of raptor. Raptors have a lot of feathers and I have a Lotta hair. Somebody said it sounded like other kin, can you help me out?
thank you for the advice!
im really proud to have such unique theriotypes, a kangaroo and (some kind of big cat idk yet)
i really feel connected to them and relate similar traits to them!
Thanks for making this video
this is the first time ive heard of theriantropy and it sounds fascinating. ive never felt really human but cant point out a specific animal i feel more connected to. maybe some kind of crustacean or amphibian?
question: can anybody have an identity as an animal or is it just certain people? are you born with it or can it change/appear/disappear over time?
I have a question!!! I also feel deeply connected to cryptids specifically this image of a thing with a skeleton of a wolf head and antlers connected.
I relate to many of the things Thorn says about therians, I think I might be one. The thing about that though is I don’t wanna say I am one but not actually be one, stuff like that worries me all the time. I haven’t felt entirely human since I was probably sixish. I was always the one that acted more like an animal than any of my friends. At some point, they started to grow out of it but I never did. I felt a strong connection to cats and wolves, but I have been starting to grow out of the wolves. I’ve shifted in dreams before, and irl. I’ve always been connected to nature but also indoors. I love both very much. After some research, I found the Turkish Angora cat which had many of my characteristics and reminded me of my dream shifts and a cat I felt I knew or was related to in some way when I was around 5-6. I might do more research on foxes and wolves because I feel there’s something that my mind’s missing. There have been many cases over years where I though and knew I was an animal other than a human, and once I discovered the therian community, it thought that it might be me.
Bekause of you i am otherlink , thank you so much! Love your vids , good luck in every deal
Thanks for the maind wolf its presisly whay i was looking for!
other than wolf,cat, and fox i also have a rat theriotype! im currently questioning luna moth. i suggest looking into rodents at somepoint if your questioning a theriotype or trying to find it out!
I am a therian too. I always had a very strong connection to wolves my whole life. I had a friend too who was a bit like me, we often played in our school forest too but when we became older, she changed herself very much and didn't want to do anything with me, she also lost the connection. I was very uncomfortable then and later depressed but my connection to wolves i never lost. I saw them and thought "i was one of you, deep in me there is something like you" . Searching the theriotype can be an excercise for the whole life and i was young. Then i looked for more information about wolf- like animals online and i was shocked. I wasn't sure anymore. Till today i know, i am a canidae but i'm still not sure what one. I am also struggeling if i have a cat- theriotype because i also felt a bit cat- like when i wen't through the forest. I really like to be in forest, it feels like "i'm at home now" When i was 14 i found the therian community and i knew, i am not alone now anymore. I have no therian- friends and i am alone most time but i am a part of sth i feel like now. I also load up videos of my therian life (mostly quadrobics because i love to feel free while doing them) on TikTok and i now know, i am not crazy or stupid or sick. I am a therian and i should be proud of it
This makes alot of sense. My first shift mustve been when i was about 4. I was laying in bed and i sort of just visualised being a barn owl and felt wings. It was so strange but it had happened a few times since. I later i found out that i am a barn owl therian :) thank you for this video it was very educational
You know how you said about knowing therotypes before knowing your a therian? During the months i was questioning therianthropy, i found out what a bobcat (lynx rufus) was, and i immedietly just felt this feeling betwen me and that animal, just felt like me, would that connect with what you said or do i have to know what that animal was my entire life? Because i only found out that animal existed a few months ago
Question: how do you not have shifts during recording? Do you edit it out? Or do you just not shift?
Thank you I’m just making sure I know I’m a therian and getting more knowledge about therianthropy my theriotype is a cat I think since I feel connected and have cat shifts, cat behaviors, interests in cats, and I overall feel like they’re my family and feel like a cat!
does the theriotype affect like eye color, able to (lift?) your ears, energy etc? bc the ones i am questioning is a fox and a cat bc those are the most accurate and i do have memories but something about the memories feel odd. i also did feel like a dragon throughout my entire life but it feels also wrong but i still also have memories from that! Help??
As a kid, I mostly identified myself as something between feline or canine and I still do to this day. I think it was mostly the films or shows I would watch as I would reinact certain scenes involving animals in documentaries.
One reinacment I remember doing was back in Kindergarten, it was movie day and the class were watching Fox and the Hound and you know that scene where Tod and Copper were adults and snarling and fighting each other? I always remember that scene not because of the intensity, but because I actually reinacted that scene with a close friend while watching the film and it was honestly pretty fun.
As I grew older, I realized how much I didn't like spending much time indoors. Even with the constant technology I use I still feel kinda lonely. It was kinda the reason why I love going on long car rides or camping trips because I just love nature and I imagine being part of it.
One day, when me, my mom and my sister were at the park walking into a forest, I had this strange feeling that I belonged out there like there was something more to life than indoors.
I'm not sure if one of my theriotypes is proper. I love horses and I learned to do the horse gaits (speeds) in quadrobics and jump like them. When I cannot do quadrobics I will bob my head up and down when walking much like horses, paw the ground with my foot, and shake my head as if im trying to get flies away. I'm just not sure! My other possible theriotype could be a north american grey wolf, I've had a connection with wolves from a young age, I howled at the moon the other night, put on a tail and did quadrobics, and will check my territories often in the woods. I also have the urge to hunt something whenever I hear a noise in the woods. I think those two could be my theriotypes, what do you think?
Can I have some help here? I've always felt connected to cats and just the felines in general. I was OBSESSED with cats and I still am. Some random days i would dress up as a cat and crawl around, meowing. Also, in one year at school, (idk what aminal this relates to) I would shuffle into class with my hands up to my chest to resemble 'paws', and i have enhanced sences, especially hearing. Any thoughts? (I KNOW THERIANTHROPY IS NOTHING TO DO WITH CONNECTIONS BTW
I’m a therian, and it’s been years for me to figure out my theriotype, ever since 3 years ago i found out about an animal called the capybara. I was obsessed and started making animations of them running in nature, even in my mind, spiritually i could feel a connection. The way i found out my theriotype was when i had two shifts at an airport. It was terrifying to pass out and have a shift in the middle of an airport, but i was overjoyed to find out that i was a therian and i finally knew how to make myself hapoy and express myself.
I pretty much have the same experiences as you! It’s refreshing to hear about other therians coming to be in the same way. I howled and barked hours in the day as a young child, it felt so natural. And honestly, I envy little me’s howls, they sounded so good. There’s no way I could do that again lol. I’d do Quadrobics and experience phantom tail & ears. I remember asking my sister if she felt a tail even if it wasn’t really there. (I was 7.) My sister and I would tug of war with our teeth over steak and food before getting shut down by our mother, obviously, it was very obnoxious. We did the same with stuffed animals of prey, like rabbits. My friend and I, who I am still besties with to this day, would play “wolves” and claim territory. We would bark, growl, and howl at children who got too close. We would play like pups, even including the biting and nawing. I talked to her about it recently, we both agree that it felt like our real selves. It was so natural and freeing. I feel an intense urge to howl, and I also feel extremely connected to the moon. I used to sit on all fours and howl at the moon as a young child. I sniff everything that is offered to me before taking a bite, I admire my sharp teeth and nails, I always have. I’ve been questioning my therianthropy, but I think I’m very near ready to identify as a therian.
I think you can confirm it by all this but rip your fingers😅
When i was like 6 or 5 i loved the woods and i had a strong connection to it i would act like a cat and sometimes i even had dreams of me as a cat going into the woods and play i still have them i would randomly meow i still do that and it got to the point i didn’t even feel human i think i kinda shifted idk anyway i was so interested in the woods i kept begging my mum to take me there i felt like the woods was my home and i still have that connection to the woods idk if i’m a therian or not pls help
I also feel an INTENSE connection to water and also willow trees, i believe my theriotype is a frog (its not full confirmed) but i might aswell have a fish or underwater being theriotype! And also thanks for confirming my therianthropy😌
I also loving swimming, and when i was younger i would do the same thing, look at my shadow and stare up at the sun and blow bubbles underwater. Ive always wanted to be able to breath underwater and have wings ti fly with. I always want to be underwater, it feels very natural. One of my theriotypes definately has to do with something underwater and i think one of my other theriotypes might be a crow.
Ever since I was 3, I've had the strange urges to howl, and go outside and dig a hole to sleep in, I often get in trouble for making dens in my bedroom, and over all just enjoying the thought of having my own territory and having a pack. I'm not 100% sure I'm a therian, but I LOVED wolves when I was younger, acting like one, and still do today. Not only that, but I enjoy doing quadrobics. could you give me some information?
Am I a therian? When I found out about therianthropy I think I started to become one. I think I’m a domestic cat and Lion therian. I also have never really felt odd around other people(humans) and have never questioned being human. I do fit a lot with a domestic cat and for lion I don’t remember seeing one in front of me but I feel like I am one and it just feels right, a few things match me up with a lion. I also wanted to be a therian when I first found out about them. So what do you think?
