I doubt that I’m an Otherkin most of the time. I know being an Otherkin is a self identity and you guys don’t have a say, but I just want to share this.
I used to be a furry. But, I immediately stopped being one when I found out I don’t have any interests in anthropomorphic animals. But, during my furry era. I had a fursona that was a goat. She was a Nigerian dwarf goat that was a chamoise with extensive white on the middle of her. She walked on four legs and couldn’t talk for the most part. Her name was Jadie.
Anytime I walked, rested, jumped, etc, I would picture myself as her. However, later on I felt the connection leave. I was sad about it and I think that led to me to my Otherkin discovery adventure.
When I learned that it’s possible for someone to identify as a nonhuman, I instantly thought I was one. There were signs my whole life. But, I have this annoying itch and I start questioning my identity. I wonder if this is just some phase and I was never an Otherkin to begin with. I feel the same way with other things like my sexuality and gender.
I just hope that one day I will truly know who and what I am.
