LFA - Thinks he's a dog?

Post Reply New Topic

As a child, I used to feel as if I was born in the wrong body. The body of the wrong species, I was supposed to be a cat. I truely believed in I was born in the wrong body. I wonder if I have some form of lycanthrope.

Just a theory...
Many Aspies are hypersensitive to noise, smell etc. and animals do usually have highly developed sensitive senses , maybe it makes them sense-related, sort of (sry for the english, don't know how to express this exactly):oops:

And dogs are much more easy to understand than humans, they're straightforward, they usually don't lie(except, if they cheat for some more food), they can't disguise their feelings/moods, they are loyal and they'll never ever condemn you.

btw in "dog" a smile means i'm sorry whereas a straight look into the eye means a threat; this can be quite confusing if used by a dog-behaving-human in a human environment.

I was like that but with cats. I was obsessed with my cats, cared about them more than humans, and of course, acted like one. I insisted on nuzzling people rather than shaking hands or giving a goodnight hug, eating directly from a bowl rather than using a knife and fork, communicating in high pitched yowls, hissing when angry, etc.

I still like the idea of doing animal things like sleeping in the airing cupboard.

I also identify with cats a little. Hypermobility, sensitive vision, high strung, etc

i work in a certain nursing home and there's someone who i believe is LFV. he will flap his arms periodically like a bird and sometimes i hear birds sounds from him. it's trance-like when he does it and i think it gives him a certain satisfaction.

uh..... I like acting like a dog. but then again I like mocking animal sounds.

Im not a kid, but I feel like one at times

It may sound crazy but maybe it could be related to a previous life or something.

I think I have a problem not sure wat it is but I love the smell of my feet chase small animals and somtimes I bark and when my friend gave me a tail I would stop chasing it can somone please tell me was wrong with me

You're eccentric and have an over-active imagination?

I know I'm a bit late to the party here, but I also went thru a phase where I thought of myself as a dog...

When I was about 4 or 5, I would pretend that I was a puppy...a cute, floppy, clumsy, lovable puppy. I had a bunch of dog stuffed animals, and those miniature Pound Puppies toys, and I even had a Pound Puppies Golden Book video (a hand - me - down from a neighbor girl) I liked to watch. From what I could tell, everyone loved puppies, so I never understood why my mother would always look down at me crawling on the floor on all fours, barking and wagging my little tushie, give me a withering look and say, "I want you to stop that when our friends come over." Why wouldn't they like it? Didn't everyone like puppies? (my line of reasoning at the age of 4).

One incident that sticks out in my mind was when my mom, my aunt, and I (I was still b/tw the ages of 4 and 5 and still loved to pretend I was a puppy) were eating at this Thornton's - like place attached to a gas station, and my mom was holding me in her lap. I loved being held in her lap (matter of fact, she was doing less and less of it at the time, so this was special), so I did what puppies do when they're happy and craned my neck up to give her a small lick on her cheek.

I think my aunt thought it was cute, but my mother was completely repulsed and snapped at me, "That's disgusting!" Deeply hurt by her rejection of what I'd given her, I burst into tears, and I heard my aunt say, "Ohhh, we must have hurt her feelings." I didn't pretend I was a puppy anymore after that.

These days I fancy myself as a "car - fur" or sorts (a term for someone who likes anthropomorphic Cars, trains, planes, electrical appliances, etc.) and my carsona is a small, pink Volkswagen Hebmuller called Lil' Pink Coupe. I actually knew that I was a car - fur from when I was a very little girl - when Susie the Little Blue Coupe, Benny the Cab from Who Framed Roger Rabbit and the Chevron Cars grabbed my attention - and I'm fully content with my car - furriness. I think I like being a Car better than I liked being a puppy.

Was your brother ever locked in 'his inner world' appearing oblivious to people in his immediate surroundings ? IF so, was it a puppy or dog THAT helped him connect with the 'outer world' and relate to people on some level ?

I remember feeling as if I was born in the wrong body as young as three years old. Not the body of the wrong gender, but the body of the wrong species, speficaly a jaguar or some kind of cat.

it could be a coping mechanism, I was a dog through most of upper elementary school, and I still act like a dog(growling,barking,whining, ect.) though not as much as I used to, and I'm 19. I identify more with dogs then I do people and have always wanted to be a dog.
