I don't know how this works. I'm trying to connect with people like me and make friends. If y'all got any ideas for me to find my people, I'd like to hear them.

What time of day seems most conducive to shifts related to your otherkin, therian, or nonhuman experiences?
I\'m here under duress.

Hello! My name is Xeep or Lucian, I am bodily 17. My pronouns are xe/they > he [I am a xenic individual]. I am an alien in every way, labels that describe my expreinces well are otherkin, holothere and transspecies. I have known about my identity since early childhood but discovered the alterhuman community about 4 or 5 years ago. I have a typing quirk where I replace 's' with 'z', but that occurs during intense shifts. I never do that as a joke. I'll provide translations to anyone who needs them, or just some time later. I also have other alterhuman identities. More: I like art and poetry, hate social norms, love and feel connected to nature, and daydream about fictional characters. I'm plural and my "alien-ness" affects many of our alters, as it's the most important identity.
Hi we're 3 young people from Denmark and we're making a project about subcultures, and we found otherkins very interesting. So we wanted to ask if there where anyone who wanted to answer some questions about how being an otherkin changed you life.
When the Universe was young we were old.
Our home long ages gone, we lived among the stars.
We did not know fear, we did not know pain.
We simply were.
We sang as Gaia was born.
We gave her life.
She grew under our watchful eyes.
We knew joy.
She grew in beauty and swelled with life.
We cradled her in our arms as she gave birth.
We were joyful.
We sang her children lullabies.
We stood ready when they took those first fragile steps.
We knew joy.
Sadness came when Gaia's children forgot.
They abused their mother.
We knew sadness.
We came to her children, to protect and to guide.
The Elf, the Hobbit, the Fey, the Vampyre, the spirit.
Wiccan, wizard alike we took form.
We came to help and to give hope.
We were scorned, we were hated.
We knew pain.
We knew fear.
Together we hid, under rock, under ground.
In the sacred sanctuary of the trees.
Gaia mourned for her children, Gaia mourned for us.
We did not mourn.
Many aeons we waited, centuries untold, time has no meaning for us.
We will always be reborn.
The children are awakening.
They are remembering.
We come together, we take up the call.
Hark the call of the awakening.
Remember the ancient songs, take up the melody.
Help the children remember.
Children of the Stars, AWAKE!
Just a tad bit curious... Is there anyone else on here that's also part of the emotional support stuffed animal community?
Hello, my name is Matt and my handle years ago used to be JediMatt1000. I am looking for a former member and I was wondering if anyone might be able to contact him for me or tell him to contact me. His name is Erelin Goodfellow. My e-mail is JediMatt1000@yahoo.com thank you!
Knotted cord with K2 azurite stone and beads carved from European wolf bone, with a pendant featuring the therianthropy theta delta symbol with a wolf's face at the center. Made for wolf and dog therians. Natural materials such as fur and bone have long been used to assist a shapeshifter into achieving their shift or growing closer to their animal-nature.
Hey everybody,
i had never heard the term otherkin until today. i honestly always assumed i was alone thinking i wasnt bog standard human. i do not like the icon next to my name, no offense to those what made it.
Hello! My name is Stuart, or Blue, whichever is easier. I am a fallen angel and also 2D from Gorillaz. I also happen to be a system. I discovered my otherkinity (is that a word) back in 2018 during a meditation session. I saw an image of an eye opening and then a bunch of 2D memories. How did you find out about it? I'd love to hear. Also, any other angels here?
We all strive to be open-minded about one another's beliefs and experiences. This is essential to our community, because we have had to keep an open mind about our own beliefs and experiences in order to accept them as valid and real. Much of what we believe and what forms the foundation of our community's identity are claims of supernatural or psychic experiences that mainstream culture would simply debunk. Our materialist, scientific society has no room for a sixth sense, let alone a seventh or an eighth, and the empirical rule of science leads most materialists to assert that if you can't touch it, it isn't there. So many of the perceptions and sensations that form a vital part of our experiences are subtle and numinous in nature. They cannot be proven in a laboratory. Often, it is hard for us to "prove" them even to ourselves. We simply have to accept that we are not crazy, that these impressions are valid, and that the materialist approach to reality somehow fails to account for a large portion of human experience. Yet this creates a certain amount of credulousness within the community. Since we each have had experiences that the rest of the world would reject as lies or delusion, we are much more likely to listen with a sympathetic ear to someone else's experiences, no matter how strange they may sound. We are painfully aware of how hard to believe many of our own experiences and beliefs are, especially because we have had to struggle to believe them in the face of a culture that tells us these beliefs *must* be the product of a crazed mind. Obviously, we don't want to disbelieve another's claims especially because we want to be believed ourselves. But this can lead us into a dangerous habit of accepting everything that is told to us by others without question, and the sad fact of reality is not everyone who makes an extraordinary claim is telling you the truth. There are quite a number of people who lie and make up tales about their beliefs and experiences. They do this as an attention-getting measure, to make themselves feel powerful and important, or to get you to follow them and accept further stories and orders without question. These are the poseurs and cult-daddies of the scene, and they hurt our community not only by preying upon the innocent and vulnerable, but also by giving the outside world a very negative impression of us.
Hello! I'm Hazel, 24 (he/they). For awhile I identified with xenomorphs / aliens, but lately it's evolved into a much more complicated identity that I'd like to explore further. I'm autistic and struggle with a lot of self shaming, which I'm hoping that connecting with this side of myself will help boost my own self confidence. I'm still getting used to talking (typing) about my identity, but it's a mixture of psychological and physical (?), and was most likely brought on by my autism + physical ailments that left me feeling disconnected from humans.
Little side thing away from questioning for something more formally written--
Hi :) in this life my name is Alyssa, but my spirits name is Saphira (not Sapphira), and im a nymph-witch hybrid. I feel most at home when swimming or floating in the water, i love wildlife and they love me. Im not sure what kind of nymph i am, as i have traits of a water nymph and a storm nymph (i think thats what its called??), i know far more about my witch lineage. Originally im a nymph (in case i havent said that enough yet 😂) and about 100 years ago i started being born into this lineage of witches. My lineage is of healers. My grams could heal plants and restore the recently deceased plants, my mother (in this life) has a healing touch (passive), and i work with auras. Also im new to this site so idk how pm's or anything work. Msg me tho if you're interested :) oh and also, im pansexual.
Hi, as you can see, I'm very new to this forum and the otherkin/alterhuman community. I mostly came here due to the need to figure out what exactly is up with me internally. I'm hoping to be met with an open mind, knowing I didn't come here in bad faith. So, here's some info about me.
Does anyone remember "grilling"? It seemed to be popular in my Amino days back in 2019, but I haven't found any resources as of recently to use to grill myself with new 'types I am questioning... If anyone is familiar with the concept, could you leave some of those questions for me to read over and think about?
If it is called something different now (or even previously), could you let me know what as well? So I can dig up more questions to sit on..
I am 100 percent new to even the idea of this. Someone mentioned to me to check out this community because I've always felt out of sync with people. Also and this may sound really bad but don't take it that way I've always said in my head exactly like this that I feel "above" Humans like that and never really though of the ramifications of that ,as if saying I'm not Human again don't take it wrong. Anyway just exploring possibilities and im ridiculously open minded so hello and I hope to meet some of you at some point !
