Okieee I have been a therian for aleast a year. I don't know when I awakened bc it has been a bumpy ride. I have been questioning my theriotype for SO long and I think I actually know what it is now. But here is my journey: Ok, so I was a little bean. About 7 or 8 and I was watching YouTube and I came across this short. It was of people in animal masks and tails running around on all 4s. I said "Mommy look!" she was like, "umm don't watch that." I never watched that stuff until I reached the age of ten. I think I saw another video and it sparked my curiousity so I did RESEARCH! I found out that I would possibly be a Therian and I started a bit of quadrobics. I loved watching Therian comps and wearing masks and tails. My parents found my tablet and went through it. They saw that I was watching Therian vids and they said to not watch that stuff. Did I listen? absolutely not and I kept watching it. Then I was like, 11 and I made a presentation on therians and I got my mom and dad and I wanted to show it to them. I had planned to come out to them at the end of the presentation in they liked the presentation. I got scared right before I showed it to them and I didn't tell them I deleted that part and I had them read it instead of me reading it allowed. They seemed supportive and my mom asked, "Honey, do you think u are a therian?" I thought hard if I should tell her or not. I then remembered a time when she said that therians thought they were animals and they only did it because they were depressed and they wanted to escape reality. SHE REALLY SAID THAT!!! So I said "no". I then got converse for my first year of middle school. I drew little paw marks on them and then a few months after, I got pulled aside by my mom and she said, "Why did you draw paws on ur shoes? Only therians do that." (I forgot what I said) I then got into actual mask making and they weren't paper T_T I had a few masks, I put them on my pants and went into the dining room. I lied and said that I liked doing things a therian did but I wasn't one. (At that time I didn't know what an other paw was) They said ok and didn't give a nugget. In later 6th grade, I came out to one of my friends which was also a Therian and she was happy and very supportive. In early 7nth grade, my boy best friend somehow was talking to me and got onto the topic of therians and furries. He said, "Do you want to know why I hate furries?" Curious, I obviously said yes. then he said, "I don't like how people wear animal costumes and masks and go out in public. Its not normal." That was all he said. Luckily it wasn't worse but he didn't know I was a Therian. I was too scared to tell anyone else anyways bc there were a LOT of anti-furries and anti-therians at my school..... END
I've wanted to come out to my parents for so long. I think they already know bc there are js so many signs. I literally have a tail that I made hung up in my room and they go in my room T0T So it wouldn't be a big deal anyways but I feel like it would be weird....
