Hey guys was just wondering what exactly are therians? Whats the difference betweeen them and furries? Is it like a mental condition? How do you know if you are a therian? How do you know you are a furry? What qualifies you to be a therian? I don't mean to offend anyone. This is much like my religion questions, I just want to understand you guys more so I don't offend you in the future.

Also I want to be an animal. I wish I were an animal. But im not. Well, I dont want to be an animal because of my friends and family, but it would be cool to like shapeshift... or only be an animal sometimes.... Idk, do you understand what I mean?

How I explain being a therian is that a therian is like someone with an animal soul but a human brain and body,  Or believes that they were an animal in a past life.

 but how I new that I was a therian is that I have shifts a lot ( there are many kinds of shifts I’m going to explain phantom shifts) so for me I felt that I had a tale on many occasions or like paws and ears, but you don’t have to have shifts to be a therian I also sometimes felt that I was in the wrong body like that I was supposed to have paws and claws.

Um I don’t really know much about furrys so I can’t really explain the difference between therians and furrys.

 But yeah I have always wanted to shape shift in to animals not just my theriotype but like other animals to, it would be really cool tho. And if you want to know anything else about therians I’ll be happy to answer any questions you have.

Ok thanks but uh one thing... I don't understand 'past lives'. Like what is it? Your soul in a different body in the past? And thats really a thing, chances are all humans have been animals at some point in their past lives because there are WAY more animals than humans in the world. Also, can past lives be in plants? or bacteria? Is your soul, like, reused? How does it work? What is a soul? That got deep real quick lol

(This is how I think of past life’s so please no hate)

Past life’s are vary complex, so how I think of past life’s is like your soul has been in many different beings, so let’s say that your soul was once in a duck,
You probably wouldn’t remember much of the ducks past life but sometimes you can catch glimpse of its life and other past life’s of your soul,

 now for me I can’t remember much about my past life’s I can only recall one or two things like rolling in the grass or hunting pray.

I personally think that you can have a past life in a plant and maybe bacteria But I don’t quite know.

Yes, it’s probably easer to think of past lives as like your soul being reused, because it technically is like that.
 so let’s say when one of your past lives dies your soul moves on to a new life and usually you won’t be able to remember a lot about you past lives but sometimes your soul carries some memories of that past life.

This is just how I think of past life’s so again  please no hate.  : )

A therian is a person who believes they are a therian NON-physically or was an animal in a past life.

A furry is a CHOSEN cosplayer.

You do not chose to be a therian.

Also, try taking a quiz online and do more research. I'm not the person to know who's a therian and who's not from that little information.
