"I kinda feel like no being can understand me" A Small Talk
Alright so this is not really a vent post, just writing something to clear up my mind and maybe find other critters with similar experiences. But....
Have you ever felt like you've been hiding too much of yourself? Like you're forcing yourself to be normal? It really sucks.
Honestly, I have never opened up about myself to anyone, ever. Of course some may know that "I am a therian, and my kintypes are xyz." But what im talking about, is that-
They don't know that i scream like a fox in my pillow at night. They don't know that i feel the feathers on my skin when i shower. They dont know how it feels. And even so, I choose to trust them? Even if i can't fully be myself?
My human friends probably think it's weird. I know they are supportive, but I don't think they just know everything about my identity. Because "It is unacceptable for someone like you to ever act animalistic." And why did you do this? Why do you do that?
They have a visible red line drawn in their understanding of nonhuman terms, and they may not realize how far over that line I actually am
Although, some of my non/alterhuman friends, also don't get it. Which is what, surprised me the most. Because, what happend?
"I am a therian, but I think that's a little too much"
"I don't really accept it... it's more of a mental illness"
I cannot even feel slightly like an animal, while talking with some of theese close minded beings. What even is a nonhuman anymore? Well, sometimes I wish I could just rip off my veil and show them what I mean the easy way. At least critters on this app are awesome, love y'all!
(I'd like to hear anyone's thoughts on this)
