I'm not dragonkin. I don't kin dragons. I AM a dragon. I am a dragon trapped in a human body. I see a lot of folks use this term (which is fine. Obviously, you can use whatever labels you feel comfortable with), but I personally hate it.

I would love to hear what your true self looks like. I'm a dragon, but with a lot of canine-esque features, which I have yet to meet another like me. So, tell me, what do you look like?

I feel like it's most common to see kids and teens posting about being non-human. Of course, I'm not complaining by any means, but as a 23 year old I sometimes feel a bit lonely or out of place. Are there any older non-humans here?

I am just so tired. Chronic illness, work, life stress, adult obligations, and all the things that come with being trapped in a human body. Overall, my life is good. I have a stable job, I'm part of a wonderful polycule, I have a house, and I have the privilege to get myself the occasional little treat, I have plans for a bright future. But I just wish I was in my body. The body I was supposed to have. I wish I had this life, but I was actually me. I want my fur, my tail, my wings, my ears, my paws, my snout, my horns, my small size, my quadrupedal stance. I know what I'm supposed to look like. I can feel the missing parts of me, especially my tail, ears, and wings. The true me is so close yet so far. I can't even enjoy my hobbies to the fullest (drawing and playing games) because there's always this small feeling of wrongness using my hands when I'm supposed to have paws. I'm not supposed to be able to hold a controller or pen. The me I am and the real me are so different, and it sucks.

Tldr: I love my life, but I wish I was living it as the real me
