some dogNov 21

Not to over-share but I don't have an outlet for this on my main fedi profile so I guess I'll post it here

My relationship to the whole "being a dog" thing is so weird? I wish I either cared more OR less about it. I wish I didn't like, psych myself out of thinking that this is a way I want to identify myself, or a way I want to be treated. Or I wish I didn't want it in the first place? I think I WANT to be a dog but there's a part of me that can't see myself that way and I legitimately 1) don't know how to get over that mental friction, and 2) don't know how to talk about it to people that won't either blindly give me what I want OR call me crazy for wanting it

I dunno. Identity is hard. I wish I could shortcut to the end lol

@pixel I've been in a similar spot before, I can't push you in either direction but I will say that personally I found immersing myself and suspending my disbelief to act out falling in either direction helped me find out which I really wanted.

@Koch That's a good heuristic I think but the issue I think lies in the gulf between what i want and what i think is like, possible? Not in a literal sense but more in a metaphysical sense. It's hard to articulate fully
