my therian friend had a barking urge, and someone called her a furry. i said "no, ehes a therian. theres a difference." he asked what it was instead of hating and she responded!

I have seen that for some therians (myself included) that it's difficult to do quads. While i do understand why quads have a big impact on therian nature, being that some can feel free and right with their kin while doing this, I feel like there are otherways to feel free or even shift. Simply for me (as a North American cougar) scenting things or simply invisioning myself out climbing rocks in search for a den really helps. All in all either for shifting or for getting close to your kin doesn't have to be physical it could simply be a mental projection.
For people who hate on furries and therians, I just want y’all to know, there’s not point in hating. We are literally just expressing ourselves on the internet, we aren’t harming anyone. All that will happen is that you will be ignored. Possibly blocked too. And if you think we are weird, that’s okay. Just please, keep it to yourself. If some haters see this comment, I hope they know to just keep their thoughts to themselves next time. Thank you.
The worst part about being a therian is being completely alone, Having no therian friends to relate to, and having to make fun of them in front of friends so they dont find out. I love it and hate it at the same time, sometimes I wish I could just quit being a therian, but its impossible. I do love feeling the connection with nature, having different types of shifts, and finding new theriotypes. But its still hard with the dysphoria and hate, I just wish I had friends near me to do quads with or talk abt these things.
