Despite my disappointment it didn’t mention you don’t have to do quadrobics or wear gear to be a therian, pointing out the difference between furries and therians is a RELIEF
To be honest I didn’t know what to think of therian’s but know I have a complete understanding of them I feel more comfortable about them, personally idk how people think they are part animal or animals but I’ll support it!
@@user-yp4ej8ki8i no no! I’m not trying to be mean, I am simply saying my opinion. I still think the idea is cool and I respect therians but I just can never picture MYSELF being a therian:)

@@NairehtYrruf Why are you mad for no reason 😂 No therians don't actually believe they are animals. They just feel a connection between themselves and an animal. You're thinking of spirituality. And besides, someone being spiritual is absolutely none of your business anyway 🤷

oh my I did not expect this to be on wiki how... I would like to add this can be spiritual (come from spiritual beliefs and stuff) or physcological (where it can be caused by trauma and they find relating to an animal in this way helps them cope although this is just one example). Not just random people saying "oh I'm this" a lot have a reason behind it and while it may be seen as weird it really isn't affecting anyone so whatever. (would also like to add they do not believe they are physically this animal and are fully aware of being human!)
@KaylaIsaiah Theres much mroe to it, I am a physcological therian I have been traumatised as a child (I wont go into this) and it's how my brain has coped with trauma.
Yes but no. Psychological therianthropy is not Trauma based, as a psychological therian yourself you should know that. Trauma can be a factor which can lead to psychological therianthropy, but it is not the only cause or explanation of psychological therianthropy.
It's amazing you're able to give a pretty good explanation of a complex subject such as therianthropy in only 1 minute and two seconds, good job! -- A furry and therian
Btw this is what theriantopy means: A therian is someone who identifies as a specific non-human animal. Spiritually, psychologically, and emotionally, they relate to the essence and behaviors of this animal, even though they don't have the physiology to match. Also: A therian is someone who identifies as a non-human animal, such as a wolf, polar bear, or earthworm, on every level except physically. They may engage in behaviors associated with their animal identity, such as shifting or having impulses to behave like a non-human animal. They may also remember a past life as a specific animal. The term "therian" is short for "therianthrope". HOPE THIS HELPS😄
Trust is so important in a relationship and the people who love you will treat you with respect because they trust you and your journey in life. Make sure they deserve you and goodluck!
It's really not that deep ppl just treat it like it is, and theriotypye has nothing to do with the internet it's just everywhere else where people find chat rooms and communities for specific spaces and topics
this just made me have a moment of clarity abt how strange it is that therians are so “mainstream.” like atp i can’t open my shorts feed w/o seeing some (not trying to shame therians or anything, it’s just kinda crazy that such a specific niche belief is all over the internet now).
This is pretty good ngl As a therian myself I checked this out to see if I could correct anything :) If anyone needs it here’s a super simple definition: A therian is a person who has animalistic urges that occur and are forcefully awakened or born with a human.
First of all, therianthropy is NOT a connection to animals, having an animal spirit, or having a past life as an animal. Being a therian means you experience involuntary animalistic behavior that leads to (I hate saying this but it’s true) identifying as an animal. I don’t mean to be blunt, but if you don’t experience INVOLUNTARY urges, behaviors, etc, you aren’t a therian. Just because you think you were an animal in your past life or you feel connected to an animal doesn’t mean you’re a therian. Also, if you started experiencing these things mildly after you discovered therians, you probably arent a therian and your brain is tricking you because it wants to believe you’re one. Secondly, nobody seems to know what shifting is. Shifting is when a therian suddenly feels more in touch with their theriotype in one way or another. This could be a phantom shift (when you feel a limb of your theriotype that is not there,) a mental shift (where your mental state shifts to that of your theriotype and yiu have little control of your actions,) or another type of shift as there are many types. Shifting is NOT when you turn into an animal or remember something from your “past life”. This one is controversial, but I’m gonnna say it: Not everyone’s gonna be killed by hunters or chased off a cliff by dogs, ok? You’re free to believe what you want, but not all cats are chased down by dogs and brutally murdered in the forest, and not all arctic foxes are shot by vicious hunters. Just sayin. Not discouraging anyone. I’m sorry for being mean or crushing some of your dreams, but half of you in this comment section that I see probably aren’t therians. Sorry.
YASSS, finally someone who knows what a thierian is- so many people in this chat dont sound like they know many things about thierians when they say "facts" about them. but i read all this and analized it and im so proud that someone here can be fully right withot saying "i like running around and acting like an animal so i think im a thierin" of something like that. Quads has NOTHING to do with thierianopathy, its just something that some thierians do that make them feel more conncted to there thierotype in a way.
Ty guys for telling me all this bc other people's comments seem off and I wasn't sure if I was one but all ik is that I at least used to be before I knew what therians were. When I was younger I often had urges to howl when I was off by myself and I also used to almost growl when I got angry. And one time when I was younger I felt like I had wolf ears but couldn't hear out of them, it was very strange but ty for helping me understand.
U know dat ur still human? Sounds to me like some idolised their pets and adapted to their behaviour. Ur brain dosent instinctively gave u dis urges. Its something u learned. Period.
@NormallyNormal08 lol Im a furry and ones I commented really long under an anti furry video people told me the same. But man, it's not even a hater video, people are supposed to discuss the topic of the video that's why every video that the uploader approved have a comment section. We get it, you don't want to think about your view of the world by understanding what you don't like.
This is a very clear and smooth presentation, as a furry I like it! It obviously needs more details because people are probably freaking out if they see this who didnt know anything about therians but this video explains the main factors perfectly and does it's job in a very great way. I liked especially that it differentiated the culture from furries and I also learnt new things, I didn't know about the therian typology.
@@jadetimer it's not like i don't feel bad or hate therians or furries. it's just that the ones that ARE terrible imposes these concepts to others which leads to kids becoming therians and furries. you know who those people originally were? zoophiles.
thanks. I kinda caught my friend red handed after she sent me a tiktok which said "therian" and she told me about 10 minutes ago because I asked her. She said she didnt want to tell me or another friend because she was worried we would laugh and drop her as a friend because Tbh, I did bully her a bit. I know a bit about this thanks to tiktok but not a lot so that's why I'm here now I understand my friend a bit more now, thanks
I don’t believe therians should get hate, or get bullied, but I think if you believe in therianthropy seriously you might need to grow up. Like, cosplay all you want but therians take it too far.
Ignore this pls I was kinda being a bit mean and I wrote an litteral 10000 word essay here so please dont read it😃 I swear haters are the MOST overreacting people in the universe!! Like bro chill- Just do some reasearch on what a therian is.. If you dont understand what websites say about therians, i will tell you haters on information about therians: 1. They know they are humans 2. They arent furries, therians can be a furry too if they wanted to but they arent the same!! 3. Therianthropy and beliving you are actually an animal is wayyy different 4. Adding onto 3, actually believing you are an animal is a mental thing, you need to go to the hospital if you do, and its also not part of therianthropy 5. When people are walking on all fours is not "acting like an animal" its called quadrobics. Its not a sport, but its good exercise and hobby. Also not all therians do quadrobics and non-therians just do it to get stronger. Its just like every normal exercise 6. I have never seen someone call a therian a z00, but they arent z00s and are highly against them 7. When therians say they "identify" as something they dont actually mean that they identify as an animal and many haters get it mixed up. What they mean by identifing is that they just have traits or personalities that line up with an animal which means that they share personalities with an animal Please dont send death threats to therians, or anyone at all. They have feelings too! How would you feel if someone sent you a death threat? Dont you think that would hurt you? Why do haters send death threats if it would hurt someone? Please think of others. I will still respect you if you dislike therians, even hate them or think they are stupid, just keep the comments to yourself and then no one will be hurt😊 This took forever to type😭 also if you guys have any questions you can ask me and you can tell me if i missed anything and i will add it once i see your comment. Please dont send any rude things here and just ask questions and ideas. Also you can copy this to send to others if you want. Btw sorry for being a bit rude in the beginning I was just having a bad day today. Ok bye luvs💗
Reminder to non-therians: You don’t have to understand or actively support alterhumans to be respectful :3 Most people who identify as alterhuman, me included, are minors, and bullying children on the internet isn’t okay.
Therians are basically that, like spiritual ally intertwined with an animal? Identifying as an animal? That’s just stupid? Like you’re a human ?? That’s an animal, completely different
I really appreciate this. Excellent explanation I’m taking notes on this video so I can tell people what Therian is cause I’m having trouble when I look up the term on Google. It gives me either wrong information or not getting Pacific in it. I’m a therian myself and I’ve known this for a little while I really appreciate it ❤❤
@@Avery-e6p So explain to me why most therians are animals like tigers, lions, wolves, foxes and bunnies? Why not ants, moths, pigs, donkeys, chameleons, starfish, hippopotamuses or chickens? This has to be a joke
This is all leading up to a spectacular awakening where those who are 'different' are finally understood and accepted. Just look at where we were back in the middle ages- if you were 'defective' you'd be either killed or ridiculed... Past lives are fact & it will be more and more apparent as we go towards the future.
@@pines.muddy.pawprints they texted "awakened" that means that they just realized. they didnt know they were born as a therian before they were awakened
I dont understand what Animal i am (i am a big animal fan also, so i cant understand which animal i am exactly) But these were my shifts I growl, bite, howl, hiss and purr I feel ears and a tail of a wolf I feel super excited in forests and get the feeling i wanna run! My last memory was running and fighting
Could be a fox possibly? They have feline and k-9 qualities and are extremely agile and are wonderful hunters that keep the rodent population under control! I closely relate with foxes so this caught my attention!
Because why the fuck would 97% of the population need to know about therians dumbass? Of course fucking wiki how knows about therians it’s a website to fucking teach things and shit. Are you fucking dumb?
Probably because wiki how is a website to teach people things. Why the fuck do people need to know about some stupid community that thinks they are animals.
I honestly hate how the video didn’t say that not all therians experience shifts or have past life’s and that the video didn’t say there are also phycological therians.
Thank you my mom found out I was done this helps me a lot and I asked if I can send her a video because explaining overwhelms me this helped to much you made this thank you thank you!

@@No-_-one-_- haha, you have a point, humans are animals but I mean we identify as non-human non-physically. We believe we are physically human but mentally we aren't.
I won’t hurt you :) But i think you’re a lil misinformed… Furries are ppl who have a fascination and love for anthropomorphic animals. Not all furries dress up and furries don’t identify as animals. They don’t even need to identify as a furry to be a furry Therians on the other hand are actually more on the spiritual or any other level non-physical of identitying or feeling part animal :) and actually, not all therians actually dress up or wear gear and quadrobics. in fact, most therians don’t even participate in these activities and some of the ppl who DO aren’t even therians! Just thought i’d clear things up for you :)
@@michbushi Actually being a furry is literally just liking or loving or being just fascinated with anthropomorphic animals (animals given human characteristics: like walking and talking and stuff) And being a furry is pretty simple You’re welcome 😇
So question for all the adult therians out there, and this is a serious question, what is the difference between a therian and someone who is into petplay? I mean for a lot of people who are into petplay it isn't just a sexual thing. So is it like therians are into petplay but not everybody who's into petplay are therians?
As an adult therian, petplay and therianthropy are *completely seperate* communities. Petplay: A form of roleplay where at least one participant plays the part of a non-human animal and it's linked to D/s, BDSM, and power exchange relationships. It's a kink that can be sfw or nsfw. There are various roles in petplay including: Handler Owner Trainer The Pet (which could be a submissive or alpha pet depending on the dynamic or D/s relationship involved) It's a choice to take part in. I've heard some therians particpate in it *(I don't),* but it's not talked about because there's *a lot* of minors in the therian community. Therianthrope: Someone who believes/feels that they're a non-human animal in a non-biological sense. They identify as a non-human animal on a psychological/spiritual level that they feel they are or should be. It's not a choice being one and all are aware that they're physically/biologically human. Many experience shifts (feeling more animal than human in some way that's not physical. Whether by mindset or feeling a phantom limb, etc.) and/or species dysphoria (feeling upset that they're human and not an animal/feeling that being in a human body feels wrong), but they aren't required to be a therian, as it's an identity and not all experience that. Many therians have theories for why their therianthropy happens and is often categorized as spiritual and/or psychological. These belief are, but not limited to: Spiritual --- Past life, Misplaced Soul, Dual Soul, etc. Psychological --- Imprinting, Trauma, Neurodivergence, etc. I hope this helps! :)
I live with 8 sled dogs and I’ve never been able to move grief without howling. I prefer to be with dogs over people. I communicate with them more freely than I do humans. I have a mental connection with our pack. I am in no way a Therian because I am a mentally stable adult woman. I understand that I am gifted with the talent of animal communication. I sense Therians are young people without a based adult in their life. If you feel like a Therian, ask yourself how you can deepen your relationship with that animal. Are you a selfish person who will spend their time and resources on pretending to be an animal or will you use your position as a human to care and advocate for the animals you so admire?
how would you find it selfish to engage in animalistic behaviors? of course, as a born human you should care for animals, but that does not take away your ability to be one with the animal. Most therians I know actually have pretty stable home life's and/or live alone as a young adult.
I've been seeing videos on UA-cam about therians in my recommended, And I didn't know really what they were I just knew they liked walking on all 4's, its honestly fine with me, I mean I'm a furry and people don't know about it thank God, but I'm not gonna walk on all 4's or jump over sticks and fences like an animal. But its whatever you like to do, I really don't care. And thanks for the explanation.
What is a therian? A therian is a person who experiences involuntary animalistic behaviours that is theres from birth or develops as you grow up or is caused through trauma. While some therians do quadrobics and wear masks and tails myslef included that is not what makes you a therian. It is only a way of expressing it. Some therians have past live or experience mental or phantom shifts i personally dont again this doesnt make you a therian. What is a mental shift? A mental shift is where a therians mind starts thinking and acting more like an animal What is a phantom shift? A phantom shift is where a therian may feel ears, claws, wings, whiskers, fur, a tail, etc. What is a theriotype? A theriotype is an animal that a therian identifys with based on shifts or personality experiences etc. My theriotype is a ginger tabby cat. A polytherian is someone with multiple theriotypes Remember it takes months of reasurch to find out if your a therian and studying your own experiences and you probably wont get it right the first time. You can never do enough reasurch. Its an identity you will have forever.
Omg this s actually so stupid. Just say you like roleplaying as an animal. This is just so stupid! I can’t believe kids actually believe this shit? And parents are fine with their kid identifying as an animal? Oh god… we are fucked. Show this to my grandparents who are psychologist and they’ll probably think therians are straight up insane.
@@Ayumu-nd9qrOMG HATERS ARE STUPID! What they mean by identifing is just having lots of traits and personalities of an animal. Haters need to stop overreacting 😭
@@Fern_thefurby hates have common sense bro WTF? You guys say your animals then say you aren’t, then you go an act like animals for some stupid reason. Please grow up already I’m not tryna be rude but I genuinely think therianthropy is some crazy shit. “Personality of n animal” what do you mean? You have your own personality not an animal? You’re a unique human being?? Not anima
Yeaaa exactly. We all hate you. You are disgusting. I will never grow up and therefor have alot of awesome disrespect for you! Oh you thought i was talking to the therians? No no i was talking to you. the haters.
Could someone help me? I'm not sure if I'm a therian. I've done research and it doesn't really sound like me, but I remember feeling cat like ears on my head at school, and sometimes I like to lay down like a cat, and it feels right. I haven't had any past memories of being an animal so I'm really confused. Could a therian perhaps help me? Thx
Hiii! If you feel like you might be in between a therian and plain human, there's something called other-hearted! It's more of a connection WITH an animal rather than an identity As an animal. And you don't need past memories to be a therian. You don't even need to shift! Therianthropy is complicated lol. Wish u luck
The thing is, that they are saying they are “spiritually inter winded with the animal” or like, think they are the animal, or identify as one, which is just weird, and insane, like, be who you are! Express yourself! Cosplay as an animal! Like, furries! Furries are cool, and chill, but therians take it too far, and most therians are like, 8-15 with some exceptions. Like, do you understand what I’m tryna say?
No. Here's a better definition Therianthropy is not a choice! Therianthropy is when you have a body of a human being and brain structure of a non human animal, causing animalistic behaviour, species and body dyphoria and shifts, that's the simplest way i can put it
@@subzeroeclipse it is.. having a different brain structure is to. : ) its not a choice I'm not arguing with you about this I'm right your wrong if u say anything else.
"What is a therian" Therian (th-ear-e-an) Word: Noun THERIAN. A person who identifies as a non-human animal on a psychological or spiritual level based on animilastic urges and/or behaviours. "Can you choose to be a therian/choose your theriotype?" No, like gender and sexuality, it is strictly an identity that you can discover in yourself. "How do i find out if im a therian/what my theriotype is?" Based on animalsitic behaviours/urges. Example: The urge to bite, hunt, or jump. Many therians also experience mental shifts, which is an experience in which an individuals mind may be more animalstic. Or phantom shifts, in which you feel like you have the limbs of your theriotype. Also dream shifts, wjere you are your theriotype in your dream. "Do all therians have past lives" No. Past lives is normally from the spiritual therians. "Why do therians wear/make gear? And what is it?" Gear is an object/accessorie that many therians use to feel more like their theriotype. Some examlpes of gear is: Collars, masks, hair clips, painted rocks, necklaces, art, objects of relation. "Is being a therian a mental disorder?" No. It is an identity similar to your gender and sexuality. However, therianthropy can cause depression and anxiety because of species dysphoria. "What is species dysphoria?" Species dysphoria, similar to gender dysphoria, is when an individual experiences feelings regarding their species. The individual will tend to look at themselves or their theriotypes and feel a strong want to be their theriotype. Species dysphoria, if severe enough, can cause depression and anxiety. "Do therians use litter boxes or leashes?" No therians do not use litter boxes. And if you believed the rumour, you are rather naïve, as the rumour stemmed because some schools have litter boxes incase of school shootings, or service animals. Though some therians may wear collars or leads because it feels more affirming of their identity for them. "What is qaudrobics?" Quadrobics is a sport in which people run on all fours (hence the word qauds), normally to race. Though many therians do this sport as it feels affirming of their identity. "Whats the difference between therians and furries?" Unlike therians, furries do not identify as the animal they dress up as. Furries are merely people who take interest in anthropomorphic animals and wear costumes. "Are therians zoophiles?" No. Therians do not use their identity as an excuse to do acts like that. And many therians are against and hate zoophiles. "What is the difference between psychological therians and spiritual therians?" Spirtual therians tend to believe in past lives, and may use methods such as meditation to connect to their past life. Psychological therians are more mind based, and may have a harder time figuring out their theriotype. "How specific can the identit get?" Very. You can go as far as figuring out exact species, pelt colour, skin colour, eye colour, if its albino or has some other sort of colour variation. But not all therians can figure out all of that, and may only be able to figure out what family theyre apart of. Terms: Theriotype - The animal a therian identifies as Gear - objects/accessories that therians use to help affirm their identity Qaidrobics - a sport Zoophile - a person who is attracted to animals in an nsfw manner Alterhuamn - a person who identifies as something other than an animal Plantkin - an individual who identifies as a plant Fictionkin - and individual who identifies as a fiction shown being, such as a character-specific type such as sonic the hedgehog. Or a fictionial species such as an ork or vampire Otherhearted - identifying WITH a creature instead of AS a creature. Example: dragon-hearted Otherkin - identifying as a fictional creature such as a dragon Were - an old term that used to be used to refer to therianthropes, derived drom were-wolves. This term is rarely used Coping-links - people who choose to identify as an animal or creature to help cope with depression, anxiety, trauma, or day-to-day struggles. It is NOT the same as therianthrope or otherkin Polytherian - having more than one theriotype Cladotherian - indentifying as a whole group rather than a specific species. Example: identifying as a bird rather than a crow or magpie Contherian - a therian whos animal and human side are intertwined and dont experience shifts as they are constantly stable on both sides Awakening - the process of someone discovering and realizing that they are an alterhuman Anti - someone who is actively against alterhumans, and tend to seek out content created by alterhumans to ridicule and hate on them SHIFTING: feeling, sensing and/or having a experience that relates to their non-human identity for a long period of time. Not all alterhuamns experience this. Mental shift - when a persons mind changes to be more like their kintypes, and may think and act more like their kintype Phantom shift - when an alterhumans limbs change to feel more like their kintypes Astral shifting - experiencing an out of body experience and travels to another world or spiritual plane as their kintype. More often experience as a spiritual type alterhuman Aura shift - when the auric or energy field around an individual changes to one of their kin type Berserker/feral shifting - When an individual loses full control of their body/mind and becomes more like their kintype. This is normally seen as a mental disorder different from alterhumanity. Sensory shift - when a persons senses change to fit that of their kintype, causing their senses to be duller or stronger Volentary shifting - when a person consciously makes themsleves shift by listening to music, meditation, or by other means Involentary shift - when a person unconsciously shifts Please repost this comment in therian videos to help stop misinformation from spreading !
I dont know if im just wild or what. but i have been feeling a tail and i like to walk on all fours at random times and i feel very connected to animals and i usually do this in my backyard with lots of room and one small tree i play with... Sometimes i pause and start acting like a dog or a wolf... I think im just wild and my imagination took over i don't think im a therian but i want other peoples opinion....
Yall I need help, I think I may be a therian but I don’t know. I’ve always felt a very strong connection to cats, almost like I am one of them or just have some kinda connection to them besides just liking them. (NOT IN A WEIRD WAY OH GOD) I have had phantom shifts, but only a handful of times, (mainly as a kid, I felt as if I had a tail and ears on my head, and once a few months back.) but I don’t have any other animalistic urges, like wanting to hunt or make cat nosies. So am I an otherheart or a therian? I need help AAAAAAAA
no because someone choosing an animal means they are aware of doing so, because it's a choice. therians are not aware of anything about therianthropy, until they eventually notice that they prefer one type of environment, one type of food, one type of temperature, clothes, being in the water or not, sitting in one position or another... one day they realize and understand that they kind of feel "something more" than just being a human and acting like a human. so no, it's not a choice, just something you realize, whether you like it or not
Yo Therians. Trans girl here. Sorry for laughing about the whole therian thing when I was younger. Even if I still don’t fully understand how someone can identify as something outside of the human spectrum, I do now respect therians. And I would like to present you my sincere apologies.
Yo therians, trans guy here, I don’t respect ou if your a therian, it’s okay to be a furry but wanting to identify as an animal is straight up crazy, cosplay and role play all you want but identifying? Spiritually inter winded with an animal? You are clearly sheltered. Dear therians please grow up
@@Ayumu-nd9qr I think you are mixed up about the identifing part. No, it's not like you actually think you are an animal. The one you are talking about is a mental thing and it's NOT therianthropy.

If you have any genuine questions and youre capable of asking in a respectful way, i'll be happy to answer. :)
oh my I did not expect this to be on wiki how... I would like to add this can be spiritual (come from spiritual beliefs and stuff) or physcological (where it can be caused by trauma and they find relating to an animal in this way helps them cope although this is just one example). Not just random people saying "oh I'm this" a lot have a reason behind it and while it may be seen as weird it really isn't affecting anyone so whatever.
(would also like to add they do not believe they are physically this animal and are fully aware of being human!)
If you feel related to an animal. It's your spirit animal that's it.
@KaylaIsaiah Theres much mroe to it, I am a physcological therian I have been traumatised as a child (I wont go into this) and it's how my brain has coped with trauma.
Yes but no. Psychological therianthropy is not Trauma based, as a psychological therian yourself you should know that. Trauma can be a factor which can lead to psychological therianthropy, but it is not the only cause or explanation of psychological therianthropy.

Cry abt it❤❤@@akool1462
Btw this is what theriantopy means: A therian is someone who identifies as a specific non-human animal. Spiritually, psychologically, and emotionally, they relate to the essence and behaviors of this animal, even though they don't have the physiology to match.
Also: A therian is someone who identifies as a non-human animal, such as a wolf, polar bear, or earthworm, on every level except physically. They may engage in behaviors associated with their animal identity, such as shifting or having impulses to behave like a non-human animal. They may also remember a past life as a specific animal. The term "therian" is short for "therianthrope".
HOPE THIS HELPS😄
Trust is so important in a relationship and the people who love you will treat you with respect because they trust you and your journey in life. Make sure they deserve you and goodluck!
The internet really does have some deep rabbit holes
Yeah...
It was like "Oh! I have a shift last night and I used to be Godzilla before Dr. Serizawa killed me back in 1954!"
rabbits
It's really not that deep ppl just treat it like it is, and theriotypye has nothing to do with the internet it's just everywhere else where people find chat rooms and communities for specific spaces and topics
this just made me have a moment of clarity abt how strange it is that therians are so “mainstream.” like atp i can’t open my shorts feed w/o seeing some (not trying to shame therians or anything, it’s just kinda crazy that such a specific niche belief is all over the internet now).
This is pretty good ngl
As a therian myself I checked this out to see if I could correct anything :)
If anyone needs it here’s a super simple definition:
A therian is a person who has animalistic urges that occur and are forcefully awakened or born with a human.
I was WHEN IM 9
This was perfectly explained!! ❤❤
THEY NEED TO EXPLAIN THIS AT MY SCHOOOL
School Isnt An Mental Hospital Sorry
I don’t hate them I just am not one I think you can be who you want to be. Your identity isn’t hurting anyone so I don’t get the hate comments
Yess exactly ❤❤
Agreed. Those haters are just yapping :)
First of all, therianthropy is NOT a connection to animals, having an animal spirit, or having a past life as an animal. Being a therian means you experience involuntary animalistic behavior that leads to (I hate saying this but it’s true) identifying as an animal. I don’t mean to be blunt, but if you don’t experience INVOLUNTARY urges, behaviors, etc, you aren’t a therian. Just because you think you were an animal in your past life or you feel connected to an animal doesn’t mean you’re a therian. Also, if you started experiencing these things mildly after you discovered therians, you probably arent a therian and your brain is tricking you because it wants to believe you’re one.
Secondly, nobody seems to know what shifting is. Shifting is when a therian suddenly feels more in touch with their theriotype in one way or another. This could be a phantom shift (when you feel a limb of your theriotype that is not there,) a mental shift (where your mental state shifts to that of your theriotype and yiu have little control of your actions,) or another type of shift as there are many types. Shifting is NOT when you turn into an animal or remember something from your “past life”.
This one is controversial, but I’m gonnna say it: Not everyone’s gonna be killed by hunters or chased off a cliff by dogs, ok? You’re free to believe what you want, but not all cats are chased down by dogs and brutally murdered in the forest, and not all arctic foxes are shot by vicious hunters. Just sayin. Not discouraging anyone.
I’m sorry for being mean or crushing some of your dreams, but half of you in this comment section that I see probably aren’t therians. Sorry.
YASSS, finally someone who knows what a thierian is- so many people in this chat dont sound like they know many things about thierians when they say "facts" about them. but i read all this and analized it and im so proud that someone here can be fully right withot saying "i like running around and acting like an animal so i think im a thierin" of something like that. Quads has NOTHING to do with thierianopathy, its just something that some thierians do that make them feel more conncted to there thierotype in a way.
Ty guys for telling me all this bc other people's comments seem off and I wasn't sure if I was one but all ik is that I at least used to be before I knew what therians were. When I was younger I often had urges to howl when I was off by myself and I also used to almost growl when I got angry. And one time when I was younger I felt like I had wolf ears but couldn't hear out of them, it was very strange but ty for helping me understand.
Soo... basically its a mental illness?
The way you describe it makes it feel like it is
U know dat ur still human? Sounds to me like some idolised their pets and adapted to their behaviour. Ur brain dosent instinctively gave u dis urges. Its something u learned. Period.
@NormallyNormal08 lol Im a furry and ones I commented really long under an anti furry video people told me the same. But man, it's not even a hater video, people are supposed to discuss the topic of the video that's why every video that the uploader approved have a comment section.

I don’t believe therians should get hate, or get bullied, but I think if you believe in therianthropy seriously you might need to grow up. Like, cosplay all you want but therians take it too far.

Ignore this pls I was kinda being a bit mean and I wrote an litteral 10000 word essay here so please dont read it😃
I swear haters are the MOST overreacting people in the universe!! Like bro chill- Just do some reasearch on what a therian is.. If you dont understand what websites say about therians, i will tell you haters on information about therians:
1. They know they are humans
2. They arent furries, therians can be a furry too if they wanted to but they arent the same!!
3. Therianthropy and beliving you are actually an animal is wayyy different
4. Adding onto 3, actually believing you are an animal is a mental thing, you need to go to the hospital if you do, and its also not part of therianthropy
5. When people are walking on all fours is not "acting like an animal" its called quadrobics. Its not a sport, but its good exercise and hobby. Also not all therians do quadrobics and non-therians just do it to get stronger. Its just like every normal exercise
6. I have never seen someone call a therian a z00, but they arent z00s and are highly against them
7. When therians say they "identify" as something they dont actually mean that they identify as an animal and many haters get it mixed up. What they mean by identifing is that they just have traits or personalities that line up with an animal which means that they share personalities with an animal
Please dont send death threats to therians, or anyone at all. They have feelings too! How would you feel if someone sent you a death threat? Dont you think that would hurt you? Why do haters send death threats if it would hurt someone? Please think of others.
I will still respect you if you dislike therians, even hate them or think they are stupid, just keep the comments to yourself and then no one will be hurt😊
This took forever to type😭 also if you guys have any questions you can ask me and you can tell me if i missed anything and i will add it once i see your comment.

Thank you for this video I have always wondered what a therian is
So question for all the adult therians out there, and this is a serious question, what is the difference between a therian and someone who is into petplay? I mean for a lot of people who are into petplay it isn't just a sexual thing. So is it like therians are into petplay but not everybody who's into petplay are therians?
As an adult therian, petplay and therianthropy are *completely seperate* communities.
Petplay: A form of roleplay where at least one participant plays the part of a non-human animal and it's linked to D/s, BDSM, and power exchange relationships. It's a kink that can be sfw or nsfw.
There are various roles in petplay including:
Handler
Owner
Trainer
The Pet (which could be a submissive or alpha pet depending on the dynamic or D/s relationship involved)
It's a choice to take part in. I've heard some therians particpate in it *(I don't),* but it's not talked about because there's *a lot* of minors in the therian community.
Therianthrope: Someone who believes/feels that they're a non-human animal in a non-biological sense. They identify as a non-human animal on a psychological/spiritual level that they feel they are or should be.
It's not a choice being one and all are aware that they're physically/biologically human.
Many experience shifts (feeling more animal than human in some way that's not physical. Whether by mindset or feeling a phantom limb, etc.) and/or species dysphoria (feeling upset that they're human and not an animal/feeling that being in a human body feels wrong), but they aren't required to be a therian, as it's an identity and not all experience that.
Many therians have theories for why their therianthropy happens and is often categorized as spiritual and/or psychological.
These belief are, but not limited to:
Spiritual --- Past life, Misplaced Soul, Dual Soul, etc.
Psychological --- Imprinting, Trauma, Neurodivergence, etc.
I hope this helps! :)

I live with 8 sled dogs and I’ve never been able to move grief without howling. I prefer to be with dogs over people. I communicate with them more freely than I do humans. I have a mental connection with our pack.
I am in no way a Therian because I am a mentally stable adult woman. I understand that I am gifted with the talent of animal communication.
I sense Therians are young people without a based adult in their life. If you feel like a Therian, ask yourself how you can deepen your relationship with that animal. Are you a selfish person who will spend their time and resources on pretending to be an animal or will you use your position as a human to care and advocate for the animals you so admire?
how would you find it selfish to engage in animalistic behaviors? of course, as a born human you should care for animals, but that does not take away your ability to be one with the animal. Most therians I know actually have pretty stable home life's and/or live alone as a young adult.

What is a therian?
A therian is a person who experiences involuntary animalistic behaviours that is theres from birth or develops as you grow up or is caused through trauma.
While some therians do quadrobics and wear masks and tails myslef included that is not what makes you a therian. It is only a way of expressing it.
Some therians have past live or experience mental or phantom shifts i personally dont again this doesnt make you a therian.
What is a mental shift?
A mental shift is where a therians mind starts thinking and acting more like an animal
What is a phantom shift?
A phantom shift is where a therian may feel ears, claws, wings, whiskers, fur, a tail, etc.
What is a theriotype?
A theriotype is an animal that a therian identifys with based on shifts or personality experiences etc. My theriotype is a ginger tabby cat. A polytherian is someone with multiple theriotypes
Remember it takes months of reasurch to find out if your a therian and studying your own experiences and you probably wont get it right the first time. You can never do enough reasurch. Its an identity you will have forever.
Omg this s actually so stupid. Just say you like roleplaying as an animal. This is just so stupid! I can’t believe kids actually believe this shit? And parents are fine with their kid identifying as an animal? Oh god… we are fucked. Show this to my grandparents who are psychologist and they’ll probably think therians are straight up insane.

Express yourself! Cosplay as an animal! Like, furries! Furries are cool, and chill, but therians take it too far, and most therians are like, 8-15 with some exceptions. Like, do you understand what I’m tryna say?
so the whole comment section are either 8 year olds or need some serious help
Some ppl need to watch this vid frfr💀
No. Here's a better definition
Therianthropy is not a choice! Therianthropy is when you have a body of a human being and brain structure of a non human animal, causing animalistic behaviour, species and body dyphoria and shifts, that's the simplest way i can put it
No it's a choice it's not scientifically possible for someone to be reborn or awakened as an animal
@@subzeroeclipse it is.. having a different brain structure is to. : ) its not a choice I'm not arguing with you about this I'm right your wrong if u say anything else.

"What is a therian"
Therian (th-ear-e-an)
Word: Noun
THERIAN.
A person who identifies as a non-human animal on a psychological or spiritual level based on animilastic urges and/or behaviours.
"Can you choose to be a therian/choose your theriotype?"
No, like gender and sexuality, it is strictly an identity that you can discover in yourself.
"How do i find out if im a therian/what my theriotype is?"
Based on animalsitic behaviours/urges. Example: The urge to bite, hunt, or jump.
Many therians also experience mental shifts, which is an experience in which an individuals mind may be more animalstic. Or phantom shifts, in which you feel like you have the limbs of your theriotype. Also dream shifts, wjere you are your theriotype in your dream.
"Do all therians have past lives"
No. Past lives is normally from the spiritual therians.
"Why do therians wear/make gear? And what is it?"
Gear is an object/accessorie that many therians use to feel more like their theriotype.
Some examlpes of gear is: Collars, masks, hair clips, painted rocks, necklaces, art, objects of relation.
"Is being a therian a mental disorder?"
No. It is an identity similar to your gender and sexuality. However, therianthropy can cause depression and anxiety because of species dysphoria.
"What is species dysphoria?"
Species dysphoria, similar to gender dysphoria, is when an individual experiences feelings regarding their species. The individual will tend to look at themselves or their theriotypes and feel a strong want to be their theriotype. Species dysphoria, if severe enough, can cause depression and anxiety.
"Do therians use litter boxes or leashes?"
No therians do not use litter boxes. And if you believed the rumour, you are rather naïve, as the rumour stemmed because some schools have litter boxes incase of school shootings, or service animals. Though some therians may wear collars or leads because it feels more affirming of their identity for them.
"What is qaudrobics?"
Quadrobics is a sport in which people run on all fours (hence the word qauds), normally to race. Though many therians do this sport as it feels affirming of their identity.
"Whats the difference between therians and furries?"
Unlike therians, furries do not identify as the animal they dress up as. Furries are merely people who take interest in anthropomorphic animals and wear costumes.
"Are therians zoophiles?"
No. Therians do not use their identity as an excuse to do acts like that. And many therians are against and hate zoophiles.
"What is the difference between psychological therians and spiritual therians?"
Spirtual therians tend to believe in past lives, and may use methods such as meditation to connect to their past life. Psychological therians are more mind based, and may have a harder time figuring out their theriotype.
"How specific can the identit get?"
Very. You can go as far as figuring out exact species, pelt colour, skin colour, eye colour, if its albino or has some other sort of colour variation. But not all therians can figure out all of that, and may only be able to figure out what family theyre apart of.

Yall I need help, I think I may be a therian but I don’t know. I’ve always felt a very strong connection to cats, almost like I am one of them or just have some kinda connection to them besides just liking them. (NOT IN A WEIRD WAY OH GOD) I have had phantom shifts, but only a handful of times, (mainly as a kid, I felt as if I had a tail and ears on my head, and once a few months back.) but I don’t have any other animalistic urges, like wanting to hunt or make cat nosies. So am I an otherheart or a therian? I need help AAAAAAAA
Of course you're a fucking therian. You should get checked by a therapist. That sounds like some sort of mental illness.
so it's just a furry on steroids
did you not watch or
No. Try watching the video.
No
So basically they identify as an animal- but my questions are- can they choose the animals?
no
@@penguinoandme ty
@@jeseewilson1857yw
no because someone choosing an animal means they are aware of doing so, because it's a choice. therians are not aware of anything about therianthropy, until they eventually notice that they prefer one type of environment, one type of food, one type of temperature, clothes, being in the water or not, sitting in one position or another... one day they realize and understand that they kind of feel "something more" than just being a human and acting like a human. so no, it's not a choice, just something you realize, whether you like it or not
Why does this exist
That's exactly what I was thinking.
i am a furry and a therian at the same time
Yo Therians. Trans girl here. Sorry for laughing about the whole therian thing when I was younger. Even if I still don’t fully understand how someone can identify as something outside of the human spectrum, I do now respect therians. And I would like to present you my sincere apologies.
Yo therians, trans guy here, I don’t respect ou if your a therian, it’s okay to be a furry but wanting to identify as an animal is straight up crazy, cosplay and role play all you want but identifying? Spiritually inter winded with an animal? You are clearly sheltered. Dear therians please grow up
@@Ayumu-nd9qr I think you are mixed up about the identifing part. No, it's not like you actually think you are an animal. The one you are talking about is a mental thing and it's NOT therianthropy. What they mean by identifing is that they have many traits and personalities of and animal. That IS part therianthropy. I was mixed up about it before too
@@Fern_thefurby uh huh…
