lol awesome you start most of these :p i do alot to, but not alot of people know, so they look at me funny haha. good for you that yove learned not to care, i hope i get to that point soon

Thankfully my mate is the same as I and my friends just accept it.

I'm known for whimpering when appropriate. I've growled at several people (especially when I was in school because people in the halls were rude so I'd growl when someone pushed me.) I'm also known for pouncing people and pawing at people. Oh, and I play like a wolf. If I'm feeling playful I'll go up and bat at someone and them jump back and I swear I can feel my tail wagging...which is another thing I do whether I've got a tail or not. And when I'm trying too fight back my anxiety attacks or flash backs I call on my wolf and she completely takes over, so almost all of my actions are wolf.

I'm very very wolf.

heehee. *nods* I had never known anyone with as strong of animal instincts as myself until I met my mate. I quite like it when his instincts show. *giggles*

I tend to growl at my friends every now and again...not in a mean way or anything but when say...one of them had me an arm lock, and was slowly twisting it...n ot to the point of hurting though, I eventually growled at him. He found it pretty damn funny, as did I. It's just part of me though, at first it was pretty embarassing but now it's just...me!
My partner also seems to enjoy my more 'animal instincts' show...if you follow. At first I was kinda terrified she see me as weird...but...apparently not! XD

Within day to day life, I've never really embarass myself with my 'wolf' or 'animal' aspects, with the exception of the first howl and growl what my friends caught. I usually end up making myself look na fool for the more human side to me! Maybe I'm just not a good human? Lol.

I think the whole thing about it 'used to be embarassing but is just accepted as a part of you' kinda idea can apply to a lot of thing. If a guy decided to show up to all of our lectures dressed in a clown costume, I can imagine at first it being embarassing...and other people would see it as 'weird' but over time people would get used to it...as its just 'him'.

...although I can imagine that outlook on things to be quite problematic sometimes...

Yeah...but really, anyone worth keeping around will accept it as a part of you.

Very true, this can be said of a lot of things that can be seen as 'unusual' ,not just Therianthropy. If a person is worth being around, they'd not think any different of you for it, and  just accept whatever it may be as part of you. I'm quite lucky to have 2 very close friends and a partner who all are fine me telling them I am a Therian, and everything plods along as it always has!

Sometimes, I growl at people.

lol. its got me in sooo much trouble that im not even going to say what it was. but i do get into a bit of trouble for growling. at teachers. and other ppl... lol

heh my mom just starts taking away my stuff until i stop its kinda funny

lol thats kinda funny. my mom never knows im on here. she dont like forum sites. but she aint here with me right now. so hows she going to find out what im doing? lol

People in general seem to get very intimidated if I look them in the eye now, which didn't use to be the case.  It's not something that gets me in trouble necessarily, but makes me wonder if they think something is different or off about me... or at least more so than they usually do hehe.  Still not sure if that's a good or bad thing.
