Being psychologically kin is so!!! Hard to explain!!
(By the by, not trying to put down spiritual therians here! I love you guys /gen)
Well I can’t answer with “meditation and spiritual discovery.” I used to think that was it. But no when I was 13, I found the otherkin community, and just kind of started getting in tune with that part of myself that, over time, has become more and more inseparable from my being until we get to where we are today, where being a dogboy is my whole personality, identity, and life.
MAN IDK. I don’t think I was born this way. I can’t say that it’s “part of my soul.” I think I was made this way, through social conditioning mixed with my autism. Idk why I ended up like this specifically, or why I specifically feel like a dog. I just do.
Spiritual therians seem to be able to explain themselves so easily. I love y’all. To an outsider, it’s easier to think “oh yeah reincarnation and spiritualism and animism and stuff!” Like that can be easy to digest. But for people like me? That’s a harder pill for most people to swallow.
