Actually, no. It just has to be the right people. Most don’t take it very seriously, so they don’t do anything.
I think it’s more horrible if you try to hide it with any means, and then give up and tell somebody in an overly dramatic way.
I think the swedish word “lagom” could explain what I think of this.
putting that in your MSN nick is dramatic…
What do you think could happen denying it? I mean, I don’t think you should get yourself fully acceptive! That’s no sense to let all your feelings out!
And what about your parents thinking you are crazy?
Everyone is crazy.
It’s just that most people haven’t realized this simple truth.
I’ll never tell my parents about this the same way I won’t tell them I’m bisexual and the wrong gender. I’ve already told (well showed)my mom that I’m schizophrenic. I think that’s enough.
If I were to tell my parents about shifting, they’d think I was delusional. Not that I can. The voices forbid me to do a lot of things. But that’s another issue.
I don’t think that I would feel well if I had to always act human. Of course, I have to be careful, but just denying is no good.
I would think that these traits were visible while you were an infant as well.
What would have kept you from experiencing any type of shifting during those early stages? Have any of you spoken to your parents/guardians about how you behaved as an infant and toddler?
That’s true, I think most of them are just trying to hide it!
I know I’m a bit mad! I still think that’s an illness.
But there is no reason to shock them saying that, because, If you look back, I said that it’s a key to madness, and I’m not yet convinced that it’s not, I just let them to get to topic!
I’m sorry to tell you that I don’t want to be convinced, because my testings show that I’m normal right now, there is no reason to open a leak to madness. …sorry about my sayings, I didn’t manage to hurt you all…
I don’t want to make you get out from what you are feeling!
I just suffered from a thing like that and it’s like a trauma for me, fortunatelly… I’ve never let this control myself, I just feared, feared much the possibility of losing my mind (I think I’m ok now, but it might be just a way of thinking).
That’s why I would never tell about my animal.
Because now I’m happy to keep this with me, and not showing it, and I don’t want to get that again. I guess I’m forcing to forget about it.
I didn’t get like you got about it, and I still don’t want to hurt you, if you find another way to happiness tell me, I won’t complain.
I guess I’m off from this from now… 
I hope you forgive me!
I think I can understand what you’re feeling. My situation’s simular. I discovered happiness on February 25th. I can’t say much about it but I think I know where you’re coming from. I won’t say my animal either.
btw, english is your second language, isn’t it.
I don’t realy see what your problem is Tggtt, you talk like it’s the end of the world, it ain’t
my thaughts have been more on the Bear side lately… 
like what i see as food and how i act on stuff I don’t know or is uncomfortable with… like holes in the roof 
i tend to strech after them to see what they are (points to a lonely episode in the hallway outside the PE room at school) 
i’ve only had that once, but it was probably the most fun i’ve ever had in a dream. it was pretty vivid, and lasted a lot longer than my usual dreams.
it was like there was this war between lizardmen and humans, and i was on the lizardman side. and i do mean war; i remember in parts of the dream i could see thousands of combatants on each side. however, the main part of it was just me and 3 ‘team mates’, vs a bunch of humans.
the physics were very over the top; a strong kick the chest made one person explode into chunky kibbles, an uppercut to another sent them flying for a few hundred meters.
hopefully i can do something like that again in ld’s when i get them 
Is it that dream that made you chose the nick ‘Lizardking’?
no, that was fairly recent, 2 months ago maybe. i’ve been using this name for a few years now.
Wait, wait, wait. You don’t actually believe you become an animal in the PHYSICAL world, do you people? 
.Gate of Lycanthropy.
.the educational system of both parents and school easily but subtly manages to canalise a being’s Will into carefully selected offspringing routinary activities and morals, having their presence felt as much in the physical habits as for the endless mental associations, which are a well balanced meal for trivial social interaction and relashionships…“body and mind” then enter an ongoing routine engendering a perpetual functionning of “Itself by Itself”. the energetic structure of beings is thus configured, bending perception thru jugement, “personnal” ideals and opinions to create a self-important cohesif perception of one’s self and the world. this particular homogenous way of apprehending the world thus becomes Sanity.
.this perpetually self-generating viscious configuration being not only the access to the human form but also to what is here called the waking world, drains all our available ressources to uphold these forms in which we interact daily, their rules, and most of all the ego, every human being’s tall and all mighty image, its need to be accepted, loved, praised…to Matter.
.forms act on themselves thru dialogue and action, as a repetitive pattern of an individual’s past, a past imitating that of ordinary men. forms mold and remold themselves to their own image thru repetitive patterned action and dialogue…acting on themselves.
.to shift the form of the world or the form of our own being, the Will must be free or ever the least freed for the while. silence the mind, drop routines, to drop the story one’s life, shatter the mirror of self-reflection.
.one intends to shift the world, one intends to shift the form.
.lucidity, “shift into awareness”.
.dreaming, " shift the form of the world".
.lycanthropy, “shift the form of being”.
.otherwise.
.one is not what it seems, appearences being a product of associations conducted by a trained mind coordinating energy configurations to categorized more or less detailed definitions, which are then filtered through an opiniated arrangement of decorations creating a well established somewhat personnal perception rekindled in a constant manner using memory as a tool to perpetually obtain a point of view that scarcely embrace appearences reflecting the stable or “evoluating” judgement of each individual.
.thus, to break this very cycle is the key to abandonning a particular form, and to eventually adopt the form of one’s intention.
in order to dream, one engages in the same battle. in order to dream, one, aware or not, breaks this cycle.
dreaming and shapeshifting does not occur “within the head”, for one must be out of his/her mind.
losing the mind is the gateway, for one must break the cycle.
.a system is disassembled when any part is missing.
.freedom walks the path of Unsane.
.otherwise.
Haha, no. But I wish it was possible.
Hahah, okay, cause you had me worried for a second.
lyfrzum, Lycanthropy is a illness, Therianthropy isn’t…
I think I somtimes shift a little to a cat but I’m not sure. I’ve hissed at people, clawed jimmy, rubbed my head against friends (and pillows) 
when I was little I’d curl up to go to sleep sometimes.
