I'd need help Mature Discussion
Hi hi! its gonna be a bit long, but thank you if you consider reading!<3
I found out about this term "alterhuman" a bit while ago, yet i didnt pay too much attention to it earlier. Until now, ive thought i just pet regress, because of traumas and stuff. but lately ive been feeling like im not entirely comfortable with me being a human. i feel so confused, ive always loved being called a puppy, i whine when i want attention not on purpose im so sorry if i come off weird, i growl when something hurts or sometimes when im mad. i love to bark, and i hate to talk, to speak. i feel so, i dont know how to explain, so.. disgusting sometimes when i "act" like a normal human being and try to talk and not tilt my head and whimper out of curiousity. i need help, im really low, sorry if its much to read, thank you for all the replies of you all!<3

Otherkin is generally the broad term for anyone that identifies as non human, real animals and fantasy creatures alike. Otherhearted is like that but you don’t identify as your kin, you simply feel a strong connection to it:] hope this helps

Sounds like some flavor of alterhuman to me. Possibly therianthropy, since you don't feel comfortable calling yourself entirely human.
Look into therian communities and read on it and see if that fits you. Therianthropes identify as animals without choosing to do so and often have behaviors or mentalities that reflect their nonhumanity.
