Anyone here also a furry and a Therian? I’m looking for friends who understand.

I have been called a monster for years, just because I am/have these four things: the lycanthropy disability, a Therian, a Furry, and an Otherkin. Almost all of my friends have abandoned me because I admitted it.

Therian and Furry

It's actually pretty common to be both a therian and a furry. A lot of therians are also furries, but not a lot of furries are therians. So, if you're looking for therian friends who are also furries, I would look in therian spaces first. Sometimes furries don't understand because they don’t identify as an animal but are just a fan of anthropomorphic animals and fursuits. So to find more friends that are both, I'd start in therian spaces.

I feel so bad you had to go through that! Sometimes your friends might not understand, but if they are making fun of you, get better friends! A few of my friends have called me weird for being a furry, but I know they're just teasing me. One girl started barking at me when I went to the park with a tail on, but I just ignored her.

I'm pretty sure that the lyncanthropy disability when you think your physically an animal (I support as long as it is not harming you/anyone else and not causing problems <3) but I do not have it so you should research it too!

I am a therian, and one of my friends found out. What should I do??? D:
So I was talking to a friend, and basically they found out I am a therian (long story lol), but now they are kinda passively judging me. HELP. Also, my parents who definitely don't support me went through my room and I think they found my gear. They have not talked to me about it yet though. My sister also knows (I recently told her) and It went ok! She thinks it's a bit weird but is fine with it. Any advice on my situation? Stay strong my wonderful friends/alterhumans!!!

Am I a Therian?
A few months ago, I found out what therians are. And I related to them in a way. When I was younger (from like 2nd to 4th grade), I would get called a furry because I would bark and run around on all fours and play pretend games where I was an animal during recess. And that was part of what made me question if I'm a therian. I have loved nature for as long as I can remember, and my mom has pictures of me climbing trees, and picking flowers, and rolling around in the dirt. Also, my best friend when I was younger recently told me he is a therian, and a lot of the time we would play animal games together and stuff. still want to do the things I did when I was younger, but I guess I realised that it wasn't normal to do that stuff and I hated the teaseing. I also think I migh be a demitherian bc I'm also at peace with my human identity, but Idk, tell me what you think pls!

I’m an American-Muslim and Therian! Why do people hate me?
Well I used to do quadrobics when I was like 10 and some 8 year old boys tryed to push me. It was rude so I told my mother I’m a therian and she said that therian are haram but some people like therians and some people are not… Well that’s why I have over 10 therian masks. Thank you for reading this post!
