I feel a weird feeling when I think about wyverns and dragons and it makes it hard for me to function.

When I think about dragons in flight (whether riding a dragon or being a dragon), I feel a really strange feeling in my body. It's a combination of ecstasy and a tingling and crushing sensation. If the ecstasy gets too intense, I start rubbing my fists against my face. I should add that I'm autistic and have exhibited this behavior since childhood. Every time I watch a movie about dragons, I feel this strange feeling in my body.

Some people in the world have various spiritual beliefs, such as therians, who believe that mentally or spiritually they are not human, but something else, like dogs or cats.

But I don't believe in that. To me, therians and otherkin are pure nonsense, and I don't believe I'm actually a dragon. I'm 23 years old, but because of my autism, I often act like a teenager, and it's very difficult for me to grow up.

  • Oh growing up, why should we? We can be responsible adults, have jobs, pay bills, live independently etc and still keep our sense of joy and wonder and play with the world. 

    I love eagles and when I've been to the Isle of Skye where there are many golden eagles I have a reoccuring dream where I'm an eagle and flying really high and the suns burning in my eyes, I swoop and come to land in some inaccessible place and I'm human again, then just as I'm thinking how do I get down from here, I change back into an eagle and go swooping off again. I don't believe I'm an eagle, but I enjoy the dreams, even though I don't like heights.

    Maybe just go with the sensations of being a dragon, if you accept them they maybe become easier to deal with and you'll be able to enjoy them. I think it might be better to find something else to rub your fists against though, rubbing them against your face sounds painful?

  • I really love this, seeing and dreaming of eagles sounds divine!
