In 2023/2024 I was really involved with the therian community on TikTok and I was fairly confident of my types and that I was a therian. Fast forward to 2025/2026 and it feels really unclear. I used to be pretty sure I was a dog therian, but after my childhood dog passed away, I’ve felt a lot more distant from canines.
After visiting the coast for the first time made me question too. Forests always made me feel deeply connected to nature and animals, but the ocean was really something else. I felt so at home in the forests and coasts of the west coast.
So I guess my question is just how did you guys know you’re a therian?
(Edit: also sorry, I know a similar question is in the FAQ, but I thought it would be really helpful to get direct advice/talk about experiences with y’all :p)
