Hi, this is a little hard to say but I have to say it, my curiosity has gone too far. I need to know if I may be something of a werewolf, this sounds strange even to type. Here is what I mean, lately some weird things have been happening to me, things that I can’t explain, I’ve done a lot of research and came up empty.

First of all I’ve noticed that I have been taking a strange liking to the moon and find myself constantly staring into it, and I can feel my expression going blank, no happiness, no emotion whatsoever, just a bleak stare, sometimes for minutes at a time, there was a full moon out tonight and last night and these “stares� have gotten worse. One thing that has come of it was that I can control my emotion at will, this sounds crazy but i can shift my entire emotion, I’ve practiced and in less than 10 seconds I can go from birthday happy to furious angry, it’s a strange feeling but back to the matter at hand.

Strangely enough I also have an urge to howl every night. During my nighttime walks sometimes I crouch down and have a pressured feeling in my chest. This all happens strictly by subconscious, I am not trying to do any of it, my head tilts up and mouth open into an oval shape and I feel I have to howl, but most of the time I am able to catch it before I let out any noise, to keep from being looked at like a weirdo.

In the last few months I have grown a liking to wolves, not just here and there but I’ve changed, I find myself needing to be surrounded by wolves and feel lonely even among company. The only company I like to be around is a few stray dogs nearby. I sit with them after my morning runs and relax, and feel at home near them oddly enough.

My entire life I have also had this feeling about dogs but more subtly. However, the strangest things, I feel I can communicate with them somehow, not really but more of them having an understanding of me and vice versa. I have been able to use this, I do some dog training of my own, not for money but for my neighbors and family, they say I’m great at it, I can train a dog with all the basics within 3 days, I’ve even considered getting a part-time job training animals, but is this normal?

I feel scared and don’t know what is becoming of me, I considered werewolf but thought it too extreme, but now what’s happened in the last few days, I guess I don’t know what to think anymore, my senses are becoming sharper, I can pick up on things so quick it’s scary, my morning runs easier, I shouldn’t be improving that fast, and now when I look at a dog and uncontrollably do the “stare� at it it tips it’s head down and looks away, why am I doing that?

Am I a threat to others? What am I becoming? Should I be afraid of what’s happening? I am joining the military soon and have to know, will I be a liability to my squad? Will I be a threat to my friends or family? Why is this happening now?

Please someone, I need answers, after a bit of research I came across the word Therian and was hoping this could be my answer, after looking a little more into it I found this forum. I am posting here because I don’t know what else to do, I need answers and fast. Please do not judge or criticize/ridicule me.

Thank you

Huh, well, that's a dusie. Personally, just monitor it. I don't believe in the existence of werewolves, but I do believe people can have psychological reactions. At work, I have the urge to lope on hands and feet because, GOSH, it would be so much faster. Anywho, I'm sure it's nothing too severe, perhaps just a few changes, and probably for the better!

Also, not to be nitpicky, but this should have gone in the Werewolf misc section

Hmmm...honestly I couldn't really say, I don't think I have the knowledge to really have much of an input for your situation. If you ask within the Therianthropy section,you should be able to get a few more answers.

About the 'stare' thing with dogs, I think that bit is a natural reaction for a lot of things. If a person started staring at me, I think I'd lower my head and look away as it'd be a bit intimidating.

I consider myself a Therian, but theres a few things in what you said that aren't just 'wolf' or Therian characteristics exclusively, or not even Therian characteristics at all. The urge to howl I did have however, albeit it slightly different to how you described yours.

I'd take a look in the Therianthropy section, I found it really handy, especially the Therian FAQ, and after exploring there, feel free to post and I'm sure you'll get other people willing to help you with your situation. Best of luck!

Thank you very much, I'll copy and paste everything from here into that section, and my problem with the "stare" with dogs was not how they reacted, it was that I uncontrollably did it to them, their reaction I know is normal, it was submission as in instinct, but does that mean they're submitting to me because of random chance, or because of something inside me, I'm thinking way too far into this...




Thank you for reading and please post any comments you may have.
