Well, there is no "chance of being a therian" to lose.  Either you are one by default, or you aren't and never have been/never will be.

Back when I had sides, I would hold conversations with myself.

Not trying to be.

I had nine alters and the two major ones used to talk over problems they were having. There at the last, I was having some real problems (manifesting as insomnia - I went with about two hours of sleep in the middle of a quarter for about 4 weeks) and I felt like it might have had something to do with my MPD (actually it did - I was integrating). My wolf alter thought that he should commit existential suicide and my Human alter wouldn't hear of it. Ironically, when all my alters integrated, the only one left was the wolf alter.

Not all Therianism appears as full blown Multiple Personality Disorder like mine was (plenty of them do, though) but they seem to be dissociative to some degree.

That's not true MPD, MPD is when you are multiple people, and have blackout stages when your other sides take over and start doing stuff, usually without knowing you exist, and not remembering anything you do.  What you're talking about is having solid archetypes, like a bunch of Daimons in your head, all giving you advice from different aspects of your mind.

Does therianism/Lycanthorpsy promote blood lust or is it just me

k thanks i think it might tie in with something else though

Well we are naturall hunters and i haven't been hunting latly so maybe thats why
