Advice I would tell and give to all nonhumans, alterhumans, shifters, therians, and otherkins. This comes from personal experience only and I hope it all helps.
Do not rush anything. This path that has been laid out for you to travel should not be rushed. Take your time figuring out who and what you are. As well as what it means to you personally.
Make a list of possibilities of what you could be and then try to narrow things down. You can narrow these things down through Astral, meditation, dreams, any mental shifts, and divination.
It's okay if you have to try again. If you got what you are wrong and have to try again to figure it out that's okay. We make mistakes. We jump the gun sometimes. It's going to happen. Do not beat yourself up for it.
Be kind and respectful to all nonhuman types of people. Your experience is not their experience and vice versa. You don't have to like or agree with everyone. However, it is important not to shut down, push others away, exclude others, etc just because of you not agreeing. You wouldn't want someone doing it to you would you?
It is okay that your experiences are different from others. You don't m-shift frequently? Valid. You haven't fully shifted yet? Valid. You have only physically shifted involuntarily? Valid. You don't have many phantom shifts? VALID. Your experience is personal to you and you alone. You aren't always going to have the same symptoms or experiences as everyone else.
It's okay to not be okay sometimes. It's okay to get frustrated with progress not being made or not happening the way you would want/like it to. Just don't let that convince you that you haven't made any progress at all. Things will happen when they want to. Slow down and breathe.
It's okay to take a break. Feeling exhausted? Maybe worn out from the community, spiritually, or life is being a bit hard on you? Take a break. It's okay.
Never give up on yourself. Sometimes it feels or seems easier to call quits and join humans. Don't give up. You can slow down things or try again in a bit but do not give up on yourself.
