Howdy! I am curious how everyone in this community came to the conclusion of what species, being or thing they are / identify as, the process of conforming certain parts of your identity. Your "awakening", if you will.

howdy! I go by a few names, mainly Ricky but also Alucard or Boothill. My current body is 25, female (although this means little to me) and I’m taken by my soulmate with whom I’ve lived all my past lives with. My soul is deeply intertwined with hers.
Um... Hello.
Greetings one and all. Nevermind me, I'm just testing things out. :)
this site looks like it could be an amazing tool yet I aint seen one person, what happened???
hangs my feet over the edge of the void and glares down with unease as I try to comprehend how this site works
I'm not sure why I have chosen to do this, but, despite having some second thoughts about the privacy aspect of this, something tells me it's important to do so.
Hey, how goes it?
Alright, so I’ve never really given otherkin much thought, but recently, I’ve felt “wings” of some sort even though they aren’t there. When I think about the “wings” moving, I can feel them go through the air. I can also feel people walking “through” them, and when I think of them wrapping around me, it’s like I’m enveloped in a billowing warmth that I can’t explain. So, last thing, whenever I feel a breeze, the only thing I want to do is start flying, and I can’t explain it, like an instinct that has been lost over millennia. Does anyone know anything that might help?
Who I am is actually of little concern here. Know me personally, and know who I am.
Just a simple discussion question—what experiences/instincts/feelings made you discover that you're alterhuman? That you're your species in particular?
hello my names tyler and i'm pretty new here...as in i just signed up about 10 minuets ago. I've been having some troubles recently just struggling with coming to terms with otherkin and stuff. Ive had dreams but they always leave me more confused and meditation is almost impossible because of my ADHD. Ive experienced phantom limbs before but i just wanted to ask for some tips and more help on here.
Hello my name is fluffy I am a fox therian. I decided to join this website after Shiro kicked me off kinmunity for believing in physical shifting which I have a feeling might be very hypocritical since I heard shiro and I quote say "The country's laws doesn't apply to kinmunity." which makes me wonder if he might be hiding something but anyways. I also have extreme beef with the admins of kinmunity so don't even get me started on that. On top of that some of the people from kinmunity are a little or should I say extremely crazy once when you get to know them as well as I did.
hello it's true that some fictionkin thinking humans are inferior
First time trying out the writing prompt feature, and realizing I may need to add a button to automatically quote it in the post text. The one I selected today was:
I got diagnosed around 14, and while it my scoliosis is not debilitating, the locker rooms in school reminded me that my skeletal structure was vastly different from the average human. This caused a great rift of dissociation between my mind and body, as if an impossibly thick cloud of fog formed between them.
I am working on a new version of otherkin.net, not based on Wordpress. I still have a lot of content to move over, but please take a look at the beta and let me know what you think: https://testing.dreamhart.org
Any active otherkin forum suggestions?
Kinmunity is not an option, due to the site admin.
Do y'all ever just try flapping your wings or moving a tail or something then remember
So, I hope I'm doing this right. But I'm a newbie here that identifies as a Faerykin.
I started to have a hunch as to my potential when I was around 12 or 13. I can't exactly remember the day or time of my "awakening". Around that time though I began to see things in nature more intuitively. I would always say that I viewed the world through the artist's eye because of how I would appreciate the very fine details in nature that others take for granted or just don't plain care to see. Every vein on a leaf, every speckle of shine on a rock, the character of each twig and how they bend. I felt a sense of magic and wonder in the breezy air.
Ever since I was a kid I wish I could fly through the sky, and would love staring up at the clouds letting them carry my thoughts with them. And because of my deep intuition of the earth, I do my best to care for the environment. I love fantasy and often wish I could escape from the human world to be carefree and enjoy life. Dragonflies were another indicator for me. Ever since I was little I liked dragonflies (and about two years ago I realized they were my totem animal/totem guide/spirit animal (whatever you want to call it). I've had various of animals that I liked growing up, but dragonflies recently came back into my life. And I read that in some folktales that dragonflies are faery steeds or that if you followed a dragonfly it would lead you to faeries. And a few times there would be dragonflies that would zip right at me or over my head. Which I found to be quite fascinating and peculiar.
When I was around 14 I realized that my shoulder blades were more sensitive than the rest of me, which only strengthened my inner intuition of my self being more than human. So I think that may have been the final switch that got turned on and discover that my spirit is of faerykind.
When I first met my boyfriend of 9 years now, I was worried that my conjecture may scare him off, make him think I'm crazy. But thankfully he wasn't, and he even accepted that part of me even going as far as brushing my shoulder blades in affection or whenever I feel the change in season approaching or gush about nature he would chuckle and say "That's my faery girl." But now that I've come to terms with who I am, there are still some things I want to learn. Like, do faeries have certain elemental affinities? Though I talk about the earth and nature a lot I find that it's water and air more specifically that I'm drawn to. And do faeries really have wings or are they more like projections of energy/aura? How would I be able to tell what mine look like? Since dragonflies have always been fascinating to me I always pictured having a set of wings like theirs.
