bmf? i need more therian friends

@TrashPuppy_Therian: yes yes!! thats all very helpful and I have noticed some behaviors that aren't very,,, human. for example humans are social animals and i find myself to be very solitary. like being aorund people for extended periods of time makes me very uncomfortable and i prefer to be alone. Im also very very jumpy around people and lots of things really. I also have a somewhat odd sleep thing? like i find it very very hard to stay awake during the day, im always very tired and at night im much more active. I still feel sleepy but i get a lot more done at night. i also do not like meat very much, especially red meat. The smell of meat cooking gives me headaches and makes me nauseous. but i wouldn't say i was fully an herbivore bc i eat lots of foods but mainly just,, not meat. ive also experienced very strong connections and emotions towards nature. I feel stongly drawn to be outside and play in the the dirt and mud and climb trees and go foraging for silly things. I also find myself hoarding lots of things that are deemed trash by my family. I hoard literally everything, especially sticks, bones, rocks, and feathers (bc they are silly hehe). I also bite and chew things lots. i enjoy chomping down on,, everything lol. ive also often played as the animal when playing games, like you said being the dog when we played house. I even went through a small period of time where i wore cat ears everyday and would literally break down if i had to take them off. and i used to pretend to be a dragon a lot when i was younger, i pretended i could see them and even wanted to be one to an odd extent. another odd thing ive observed in my behaviors is i like to bury important stuff deep in drawers or inside pillows or under my bed and such. like if its important or special, i hide it deep under things for safe keeping. im not sure if this is therian related or if it's autism but i didnt want to rule anything out so i out a lot of my unusual and more animalistic behaviors on my list. there was some other small things but I dont have my list right now. so with the more major stuff, i have been researching and looking into animals with similar traits. ive been researching about possibly being some kind of rodent, opossum, bird, or insect/invert (not ruling out the possiblities of other inverts). i dont think im a carnivorous animal so ive basically ruled that out, as well as animals that stay in groups and are up in the day and stuff like that. ive basically just taken animals i have felt a very deep connection with for some time that have similar traits to me. so idk if this is,,, official or not but mayhaps i could get some advice on that. also lights bother my eyes LOTS they hurt my eyes and give me headaches. as i said, im not sure if any of these things are therian stuff or its just autism but i wanted to include it all in cas

for me it was never super obvious, but i always felt a strong connection my entire life to one specific animal (a black German wolf shepherd which is a wolf dog and german shepherd mix) and always felt like it was sorta me, almost? another thing is that i’ve always felt like i should have big ears and a fluffy tail, and when i made my first partial fursuit (i’m a furry lol), it was big ears, a fluffy tail, and paws and it was like the single greatest experience ever, i neverrrr took it off, i’d go out shopping in it and everything- then when i found out about therians, i did my research and everything kinda started to make sense, yk? i asked a few therians i follow on tiktok and they basically told me that every experience is different and there isnt really a set list of feelings or experiences that you HAVE to have in order to be a therian. i hope this helped sorry its prob confusing
