Okay, so I've been reading the forums and I've noticed a lot of people believe that they are some
kind of supernatural being / not human - A lot of people believe they are werewolves or vampires.
So, what do you guys believe you are, and how do you know for sure? And do you believe the majority
of people are faking it? Just curious.

Most of the people on this forum will tell you they are human but happen to also be a vamp/therian. Neither is solely a supernatural being. In my opinion it's somewhat like being any other group "outside the norm" almost all are born a vamp/therian & come to realize it at some point in life. I don't think anyone on here seriously thinks they are an immortal being from beyond the grave. Some people may have "inhuman" abilities such as better hearing, site, smell, abilities to see/har/speak to the dead etc. those abilities don't make them not human just diffrent.

I'm very pale, I thrive in darkness, and human food does nothing for me. That's why I believe I'm a mushroom.

Oh wow that made my day. I didn't expect that last sentence...

I think most vamps and weres/therians are aware they're still human. Like countess said, even those who have abilities that are either superhuman or just above average are just... above average.

I dont think faking being a therian is something everybody would do here. Yeh , there are some people who essentailly troll and ruin the forums by claiming to be a werewolf , etc. Been quite a few of those lately.

Im therian , but i know im human. Thats what the mirror shows.

i think a better question would be: "who is human on the inside?"

[confused_mystery]

well i don't know exactly what i am, but i've known all my life for sure that i'm NOT a normie and that i'm beyond that.. the problem is that i don't know WHAT i am. That's why i've come here so that i can finally answer my life long question of the the hell am i.
If anyone is an expert on supernaturals or if i tell them the supernatural side of me and they could help me figure out what i am then PLEASE contact me...

i think a better question would be: "who is human on the inside?"

Well put,  Having been around some otherkin groups for years now, and  identifying as kin my self,  that is probably the best way of asking that delicate question.  As that right there is where a lot conflict often starts, particularly with   the younger crowds and new members, (particularly with regards to p-shift or those who claim to be  something supernatural physically)

In flesh and blood  I am human, nothing will change that....
however in spirit or soul I  feel like I'm something else entirely I'm not entirely sure what that is/was at one point I identified it as "demon" early on then as "dragon" in more recent years for lack of proper terminology, a term that's  feels much closer but still not 100%  there.

I'm just a human who likes to study the occult. There are times where I wish I could be something other than a human, but for all that it's worth, being a human is just fine. However, in relation to Carden's post, if someone isn't technically "human" on the inside, does that mean they aren't human?

Okay everyone in a human body is human in one sense. They have the human body with the human organs. Even if they are a shape shifter, a dragon, monster, god, etc. If they are in a human body they are human.

Now the spirit that resides in the body may not be human. That is the case with many people drawn to this site. So someone could still be in a human body but have a demon spirit, or one of an angel, monster, and pretty much anything.

So are they human? Yes and no... In a human body but not a human spirit. That spirit can also affect the body and the mind. So a mermaid may have strong legs for swimming and be more inclined to sea food. They may be even possessing a talent at what they are naturally attracted too. So that mermaid spirit in the human body may be an excellent swimmer. Or maybe a professional diver, or even a marine animal trainer.

There are a few other details here but this is basic. Feel free to disagree with me (I love debates)

hmm interesting, i've never seen it that way, XD well maybe if u spread that message  matthew then so many people wouldn't think they're vamp.s or weres because of simple reasons that can be explained through common sense X)

[Angelus]

I'm human. I'm also a vampire. But I came off the red stuff cause life's hard enough without people thinking you are crazy. Cant get the hang of the whole "pranic" thing. Only get a little bit of the red now and then.

[confused_mystery]

ah well good for ya angelus but don't care what people think though but ok, whatever works for u

[MrMystery]

I was a monk in the past life. Currently, i think i am a human who's interested in these stuff Monstrous provide. Mysteries are really cool as it makes you think. Seriously, is there a REAL vampire or werewolf in this forum?

[confused_mystery]

ah ah cool X) well what draws you closer to what monstrous is about, besides the mysteriesX)
