Therian / Therianthropy- I don't want to be a therian

1. Tw vent

   A therian is someone who involuntary identifies as an animal, this can be physical spiritual and psychological. I first labeled myself as a Therian late 2024 because my friend told me about it, and I resonated with their description of it.

    I always feel like I belong crawling, and I like to roar, I sleep in the fetal position, and I've always felt a bond for tigers. These feeling are insufferable, and I personally hate them. So, I always try to ingnore them, but every waking moment I can feel somthing like deep inside me that clumps at the throat and stomach... this itch to act like an animal. It's so wired... I really hope that all of this is just a phase, and I'll change but I never did and its sorta painful. I think a part of me hating it is me being bullied in fith grade till I had to switch schools, I'm past all of that, but it still hurts to see myself because of what they said. As in the part that's still hurt hates it.

   The friend who first informed me was someone I met via school. They were a friend of a friend, and after having a very long conversation; figuring out that we clicked, they mentioned therianthropy. When I "awakened" I sorta enjoyed it, me and that friend would make animal masks, and crawl around. I was happy with myself, and who I was. Slowly by slowly, I told my parents and they thought it was strange, and threw away the tiger mask. The people at my old school stopped talking to me. I cannot blame anyone though, because they've never ever seen people like that, I agree it was a little odd. 

   Me and this friend would jump over fences and play in the bushes, and draw every single day until we got in trouble. I loved playing with them and thinking about what crazy thing we should do next. They are my bestest friend and I've never met someone so pure and kind.

   I miss the feeling of loving my true self, and who I desire to be. Me and that person are still friends, but they always remind me of how much I hate myself. This friend is a beautiful person. They respect themselves, they are stronger than anyone I've ever met, they're so passionate about us being friends, I just don't know what to tell them. I love this friend SO much, I wouldn't be here if it weren't for them. I just don't know why I hate my identity so much. This friend was only kind to me when I needed someone to be like that and I just want to give them so much.
