Anyone else feel like an outcast in the alterhuman community?

Most of the therians/alterhumans/nonhumans I see online are minors; I’m 20 years old.

Most of them can do quadrobics; I can’t run on all fours for five minutes without everything hurting, and if I did a jump, I’d probably break my wrists

A lot of them seem to enjoy the company of humans; I’ve never trusted or liked humans

Most of the community talks about being “silly” or “cute” when experiencing a mental shift; I have violent, animal instincts and avoid others when I feel a mental shift coming on

I don’t know. I just feel like a lot of us have become… tame. And I’m not. I feel like we as a community don’t talk about the “darker” side of not being human. The violent prey drive. The instinctive fear of humans that wild animals have.

To clarify, I mean no hate towards those who genuinely enjoy not being human. I just feel like even in a community of outcasts, I’m an outcast.

It’s just frustrating. In a place meant for those who aren’t human, I’m still too different to fit in. I just want to have a place to belong, you know?

me, meeting nice human beings: actually, they aren't so bad. 

me, meeting rude assholes: in the eyes of the universe, you are nothing but cosmic dust.

pffffff

Hello Wolf!

we would like to request a moodboard if you’d be so kind as to make us one

we would like coyote, gray cat and falcon as the theriotypes with a forest and dark brown and cream theme.

thank you and we deeply appreciate you, take as much time as you might need

If you're willing to share, I'm very curious to know how nonhumanity has been for you. Though I doubt im the only one that feels the way i do, i havent seen people speak of it really. It has been a very difficult process finding out what exactly i am, and i am still not fully sure on most of it. I know im a shapeshifter, but sometimes i just am an animal. How fluid my nonhumanity is doesn't help in figuring it out, truth be told. I have been a crow, a snow leopard, a cat, a dog, an angel, a ghost..... I have been those but im not sure if i still am, or if it even matters. Im not a crow anymore but it was very important to me when i was, and the same goes for being a ghost and an angel; though being an angel still applies at times. I dont think this is very coherent, but i guess it just shows how puzzling it has been.

Hello! Thanks for the great question, I really didn’t see that the community was actively discussing this, so it’s really worth talking about. It sounds like you really care and you don’t stop thinking about it.

I will share my experience and may even advise something, but each experience is unique and we should seek our own answers to difficult questions.

I always paid attention to what seemed familiar and right. Not just some things that seem right for a few moments, but a constant feeling of repetition. For example, as I remember myself I always was drawn to the stars, I talked with them, shared some secrets and stories and just slept under the starry sky and felt very calm and "right". This is just one example, but it’s the most vivid in my memories. If you’re not sure about who you are now, remember everything you did when you were absolutely certain that you were a snow leopard or a ghost, for example. Does it feel the same now? Does it feel "right" now?

I suggest just sit in some quiet and special place and focus on your feelings. Ask yourself questions. Also do not forget about the kins, which are not too common. For example, you can be a mythical being that combines several animal traits in one!

At the end I want to say that changing your opinion and learning yourself is normal. It’s okay to doubt, to ask questions and not be completely sure of anything is also okay. Let’s normalize this in our community and help each other. I encourage all readers to share their experiences in comments.

May the stars guide you. 💫

Heya! Not quite starkin, but I am technically dark starfolk (Worldless) kin. Specifically, I am Aven, and starfolks are somewhat like the personifications of stars, aren't they?

Hello.

Of course, it could be a personification of a star, although I've seen this phenomenon quite rarely because some stars find the humanoid form quite uncomfortable. Before appearing in a human body, I wandered the earth as a personification of my star. So this scenario is quite likely. I admit that I haven't had the chance to play the game, which means I don't have a full grasp of its background. I hope this answer doesn't disappoint anyone.

Thanks for question!

okay, maybe I don't understand something, but why do many people start learning russian? are you aware that this is an aggressor country that unleashed a bloody war? do you study hebrew with the same zeal, for example? or do you boycott products from russia with the same zeal? TV series? culture? literature? no? why? after all, russia is a threat to the world, just like israel.

and yes, do not forget about Ukraine.
