Does anyone else sometimes feel like humans (and all forms of life, but to a lesser extent) are extremely strange?
I don't mean just from thinking about how complex we are- it seems pretty common for people to be confused and disgusted and amazed when learning/thinking about the way we function. And I definitely get that, but I mean a slightly different feeling. It's almost like body dysphoria (guessing from descriptions of it i've read) but extended to all of humanity I guess?? like I'll think about the shape of our hands, or the way we communicate, and feel like, wow, what an extremely bizzare creature. The whole process of reproduction is completely nuts, as is the whole system of eating stuff and somehow extracting the nutrients from it and discarding the rest. Like, who came up with this? Of all concepts of a creature to exist, who thought it made sense to pick us weirdos?
I've tried describing this feeling to my mom and she was kind of confused, like of course it's not weird, this is just what the world is like, and it's been like this for millennia. And logically I understand, but still.
tldr, does anyone else feel like living things/the process of existing, with humans in particular, is just deeply and indescribably strange?
hello bestie have you ever heard about the otherkin/alterhuman community? i have heard many of us describe this specific feeling!!!
(feel free to dm me if you want someone to talk to!!!)
any other nonhumans "translate" animal behavior to their human bodies?
ive seen a lot of people who shake their feet to convey a wagging tail, but other than that, do you do something else?
i noticed i have a lot of these little translations and i find them cute. i do the slow blinking, the fullbody shake, the whale eyeing and the head tilting, which are obvs easier to do as a human. but i also managed to learn how to play bow!
there was a 2000s themed party at our college yesterday and i didnt go. three friends sent me random incoherent screaming as an audio message.
later i receive a video with context: they were screaming "WHERE ARE YOU" "IT'S YOUR SONG" "WE LOVE YOU" as the pt version of Who Let the Dogs Out played in the background
today for the first time in uni i got asked "are you one of those weird people that thinks they're a dog?" and i said yes but in a funny tone (regional meme). like. yeah so what. what are you going to do about it. do you love it. and they reacted negatively, but because we were in a big group with some of my closest friends they knew better than to say anything else.
later while we were taking the subway, we were chatting about therapy and i got into the topic of my alterhumanity again. i told them about my life experience and all the things that brought me to the identity i hold today. i didnt have to sugarcoat anything, i explained to them how i felt different from other children ever since i can remember and how i made excuses for feeling so weird and lonely, and how that affects my life up to this day even after i dont feel lonely anymore (i feel weird but this time it's /pos lmao). they were very reassuring and agreed with my reasoning, then moved on to talk about other therapy stories.
the first day someone from my "adult life" teases me about my therianthropy is also the first day people from my adult life stop and understand it for how important it is to me. for every 1 terrible interaction you will have you will have a thousand positive ones & you deserve to be surrounded by people that love you because of how weird /pos you are
#and shout out to Jellyfish. she was ready to jump at that persons throat as soon as they started to tease me lmaoooo#shes so expressive i just could see it in her face she would not hesitate to throw hands to defend me#even if shes 2 full inches shorter than me lmaooo#doggy goes to uni#otherkin#therian#alterhuman#therianthropy#otherkinity#nonhuman#hound personal
nothing would make me as happy as having you hold my leash
you called me a yapper knowing full well im a barker
#doggy goes to uni#professor basically lectured me for speaking too much during a ppt presentation thinking i was afraid of Public Speaking#bitch i spoke for too long bc i love it. i love love love being the center of attention#confessions of the hound#otherkin#therian#alterhuman#therianthropy#otherkinity#nonhuman#dog therian#canine kin#dogkin
whale eyes at you (hoping you notice i want to get us out of here
#honestly idk what people do when theyre uncomfortable#saying it out loud sounds too blunt#this is the only way i know how to do it lmaoo. i mean i can try and make up some story or something but its much easier to whale eye#confessions of the hound#otherkin#therian#alterhuman#therianthropy#otherkinity#nonhuman#dog therian#canine kin#dogkin
you ever just chilling and someone calls your name and you let out a very animal "mrrrw?"
no offense to any turtles/tortoises out there but my gecko brain CANNOT recognize them as reptiles. it's like. crocodile is reptile. check. snake is reptile. check. iguana is reptile. check. the moment it sees a cheloniid it's just like. wtf is that beast...
"send me a pic of your dog" i text my friend. they send me a photo they took of me.

SOUTH AMERICAN NON HUMANS RISE UP!!
omg yes pleeease!!
being dependant on people also feels like a manifestation of my alterhumanity. when i shut down mid an interaction and need someone to advocate for me, i also feel like i'm more animal than the usual
im obsessed with using dog breed grouping to refer to myself. if im swimming, thats a water dog. when im caring for children im a livestock guardian. ask me to get you something and im a retriever.
