Well, I have known I am a therian/otherkin for about a year now, and I have been so curious as to what I am. I've been doing what I call "soul searching" for about a year as well. The searching has provided false results that just don't fit me. Soul searching is basically meditation, but I'm looking for a theriotype. Can anyone give me another method to search with? Please respond if you have a legit answer. Also, please don't cyberbully me.

First off, I recommend officially joining the forum. There is quite a bit of information to be had and assistance to receive. Honestly, I'd start at the beginning with why you identify as non-human in the first place. Keep a journal of everything you experience for a few months (if not longer). Then cross out everything that can be explained by your present humanity and see what's left and what sense you can make thereof. Introspection (which meditation really is) is what most would recommend. Finding out one's kintype/theriotype is not a quick, nor easy, process. No one else can answer the question for you, but we can throw opinions and suggestions at you...which is what you will get upon registering.

I second Seraphyna's comment. We don't bite and you'll be able to look through a lot of other threads with others' stories and experiences which might provide some insight into your situation.
Also I'd like to point out that feeling "out of place" with the rest of humanity is a very common feeling. Since you didn't give a whole lot of information with how you feel, I figured it might be valuable to consider whether your dissassociation with humans is rooted in the fact that internally you are some other form of being... or that you don't relate to what you preceive humanity to be.
Humans aren't one and the same. There's variances among different people and groups. Feeling non-human could be how your dislike of "normal" humans manifests itself, so that's also something to consider.
If it is something deeper than that, though... I encourage you to join the forums as there's no "one secret way to discover one's theriotype"... it's all a process, just as anything involving an identity and sense of self. You develop your understanding and your views over time and with different methods.

Thanks for telling me that. I will consider registering. For now, I'll just keep meditating.
