I was definitely influenced by my dogs growing up. The way they set boundaries is a huge one for me. Sometimes they cannot fully express them without biting or nipping because the other being is unaware that they are uncomfortable. I also found that play was a huge part of my identity and as adulthood came into full swing, it's hard to play as much as I want to. I try my best, but it's not the same, yk? Lastly, I think the way that I show affection. I lay on my mate all the time because I am so comfortable with him, and he pets my head. It's all directly influenced by my childhood pets. Lovely question
I think it was very prominent in elementary school for me. I would constantly act like an animal any moment I got, and I would prefer interacting with my pets at home than my own family (for a myriad of reasons.) I also found myself drawn to the furry community, which was a huge indicator for me intially because I wanted to be whatever sona I made at the time was. It's a pretty noticeable overlap between therianthropy and the furry community, and I believe it aided in my personal identity. Although I am still discovering more about myself, I think identifying with the furry community helped way more than I realized.

That's so beautiful. I'm glad you get to work with your own kin and spend time with them.
Thank you!! I completely agree. I find nature to be very soothing and comforting.
