Introduction

We are p-shifting confessions. We are just like your other confession blogs, except it handles p-shifters and of the like.

We will not post anything other than these confessions, and perhaps a few other things.

Please only use ANON to send us confessions. This will keep you safe, and we will not post your confession if it isn't.

Share your stories, ideas, thoughts, anything you might be afraid to say on your own blog. All with good intentions are safe here!

If you are clinical, sensitive to p-shifting, or triggered by it, *please block this blog.*

FAQ below cut.

Thanks for reading the intro, and happy confessing!

Can they teach me to p-shift?

Hell nah. That's personal to you, and you can only figure that out. Please do not message us for this, we will delete it and block you.

How do I put in a confession?

Set it to anon first of all! Then begin your confession with "p-shifting/p-shifter culture is..." and then say whatever you would like to say! Please, only send things related to your nonhumanity/p-shifting.

What isnt okay to send in?

Hate, methods, asking how to p-shift, misanthropy with action that is going to be behind it (harming other humans, etc.), self harm (we are triggered by it), discourse of any sort from the past / present within the community, your opinion on how horrible p-shifting is, and images of any type. All of these will be deleted, along with if your ask isn't anon.

Why does this blog exist?

Well, we just felt like making a blog to allow others to share p-shifting confessions. There's a lot of stigma around p-shifters, and we hope that seeing a glimpse into our lives can help dissolve the hate and witchhunting.

Does this enable abusive p-shifters?

Of course not. This is a positivity blog for p-shifters, and we only allow people with good intentions to be here / share their experiences. We do not allow or think that people who claim to be p-shifters AND are using this to abuse/manipulate others should be given a safe place. We will not teach p-shifting. Do not expect us to allow others looking to become p-shifters to enable them. Being a p-shifter is incredibly personal and cannot be taught. We fiercely believe in learning your own path and abandoning the idea that there is a set method that works for everyone to shift to. As always, every community has abusive, or manipulative people, but not every single person in that community is abusive.

Do they support _______ ?

We prefer to stay out of the discourse that exists anywhere on the internet. Our opinions on the matters outside of this blog do not matter to this blog, please do not ask us to if we are pro or anti of anything.

Obviously, this is a support page for p-shifters. That is all that is required for you to know, and they will not cover any other topics that don't relate to p-shifting.

Tags?

#P-shift culture is: Informational to cover more on what p-shifting is or might mean.

#_____ confession: ID number for each confession. Uses the word, not the letter. (Ex. first, second, etc.)

#P-shift(ing/er) culture is: Usually just identifies what the ask started with.

(More may be added as we may see fit.)

Who runs this blog?

One person only, who goes by 🐌🐾. They use we/they/it pronouns. They are a feline p-shifter. We may consider allowing others to join the team, but for now one person is sufficient.

We are not plural, nor endo. We simply prefer these pronouns.

Different Styles of Shifting

Since I've noticed that there are a few different styles of shifting out there (and since I've been trying to categorize my own shifting) I've decided to make a list of all the types I've seen out there. More will be added if I find any, but I think this is all there is?

1. Psychosomatic Changes: These are people who have changes that are mild and fairly well-explained scientifically. Increased energy, an inability to walk, heightened senses and a boost in strength are all possible for those experiencing these changes, and for the animal identified this often comes with cravings, longings to go wild, and some instincts of their species.

Unlike other forms of shifting, humans are fairly prone to this sort of change. If you've ever tried those "spell to become a werewolf" videos and felt effects (but no transformation), then you've had this type of "shift".

2. Berserkers and Human-Beasts: Changes here are more extreme than those found in psychosomatic areas, and are arguably no longer psychosomatic. These shifters often shift under pressure or the influence of spirit posession, seeing it as either a defensive mechanism or spiritual gift. The mildest of partial shifts might occur under these circumstances - growing fur, partially shifting bones, vocalizations and stance changes.

Examples of these shifters include berserkers, and some shamanic individuals.

3. Magical Influence: Those using magical influences may give off the appearance of a physical shift, without having shifted. These individuals often cast an illusion (in some cases called glamour) around their physical body so that they appear to be nonhuman. In some cases this form may be visible to only a select few; in others everyone may be able to see the animal form as if it were a physical entity.

Examples of this shift include sorcerers, witches and some claims of fae or natural animal shapeshifters (The Church Lady Monster).

4. Spirit Projectors and Bilocators: A spiritual type of shift that affects and/or involves the physical body, or materializes a new body for the shifter to use. These shifters may cross the veil to engage in fights against evil or other protective matters, or materialize a physical body to roam the Earth in. Unlike astral projection, the human body is often instrumental in shifting - moving it can displace a shifter, and a shifter may need to place it out of danger before a shift.

Examples of shifters like this include the faoladh, or the benadanti.

5. Standard Animal or Man-Beast: What most people think of when they hear of a physical shapeshifter. Changes here are fairly evident and indicate a noticable physical difference. Shifting may be painful, and difficult to initiate or control. Most shifters of this sort become an existent animal, although some may claim to have a bipedal, man-beast form. Despite being glamorized, experienced shifters are fairly rare in the community, and don't appear too often.

Examples of this shift include historical werewolves and some shamanic individuals, as well as claimed modern day sightings (such as the Torrance Werewolf) of bipedal wolf and cat men.

Not all shifters will be able to shift in all these ways, however I don't think shifting styles are exclusive. If you know one you could potentially develop the ability to shift in other ways.

i'm just wondering how real p-shifting is. i really want to be able to do it, but i don't know if it's something that's real, feasible and worth my time working towards, or if it's not.

i guess something that would help is some sort of proof that it's been done before. if it genuinely has, i absolutely want to get going on my own journey.

and i'm not saying it's impossible, but i just want to learn how possible it is and if current methods lead to genuine results. thanks!

OH OKAY, let me help you a bit fellow anon.

Honestly im not sure how exactly to affirm if it's real or not. I've had evidence such as growing fur strands, half shifting in my sleep, and even learning recently that when I was very little I had p-shifted before. That's just me, I've been a shifter for a long time and eventually came to this through WAY TOO MUCH exploring and asking myself hard questions.

Usually though, the best thing I can tell any curious individual is to just... go through the very first step of being a shifter. Its incredibly helpful, and will answer the majority of present questions at the beginning stage. If you want more details on this I will gladly do a follow-up, but currently I still have to collect and get my facts straight about this first step. More developed guides (such as phenexus weyr and even blaze's guide to shifting) will be much more helpful then what i have to say. Perhaps I'll have a guide to give one day too after all of this 💀

I can tell you though to just go for it. Not start p-shifting i mean, you wont be able to do so for a long time if you eventually figure out you are a p-shifter. Its better to know by exploring instead of just never trying because you are afraid of it not being real.

P-shifting is only a tiny part of being a shifter (as I've said over and over again lol) but similar to theirans our identities live on within us our whole lives. It's just keeping a healthy balance of understanding where you are at and that, usually, you might not be a p-shifter at all and that's OKAY.

Sorry I like talking. Perhaps that could help you a bit if you decide to begin your journey.

REGARDLESS.

i would honestly also love good evidence (images, videos, etc.) of p-shifting actually happening because of the methods that exist. (Disclaimer methods aren't "rituals" that are 100% guaranteed to give you results, they are only building blocks to help you develop your own style when you decide to voluntarily shift)

Ive had to realize that 1.) There is a whole community around it, from all walks of life and information, which gathered to give us the information we have today because they all experienced similar things too. 2.) time and time again there have been stories, from history all the way to now, where people have shifted into creatures and animals constantly. 3.) In truth you find your own evidence eventually, within yourself weirdly enough.

I can't speak for everyone (hell naw) but for me I eventually came to a point where i no longer needed to see from others that p-shifting was real, I knew it was real through my own evidence and experiences. Shifting involves a lot about connecting the dots tbh, sometimes it can take a hot minute to make the right dots connect.

If there is physical evidence out there, nowadays it's so incredibly targeted and never given a chance to believe. Like, honestly, tech is so good nowadays there is no way actual physical evidence could exist within the community anymore.

What im basically trying to say is that although physical evidence can help, at the end of the day you have to find it within yourself to see as true. Nobody can really convince you to believe otherwise 🤷

Thank you for sending the anon, and if you read this and want any more help or expansion on anything, please let me know and I'll be happy to expand. I'll probably stick around for a little longer to answer anything else anyone may want to ask.

#as always others who are also p-shifters are welcome to also help/expand on what I have said.#It's honestly so important to have more than one person telling you information ✨️#p-shift #physical shifting community #physical shifter #physical shifters #physical shifting #physicalshiftingcommunity #real werewolves #proudphysicalshifters #proudphysicalshifter #mountain lion.txt #real supernaturals #p shifters #p shift #p shifter #also please do not be an asshole and put your opinion on how much you hate p-shifting on here. Doesn't help and you'll just be blocked 🤠#im looking for people to give advice and help not be hatersss

Ok, but hear me out - Marco gets shallowed whole by the titan, then Reiner kills it and they all think he died and stuff. But, you know, he didn't. Because they killed the titan too soon. So, Marco gets to I Don't Know Man crawl out of the titan. The only problem? He doesn't have any odm, nor can he risk trying to get anyone's attention in case the 3 notices him and finish the job for good.

Now, this is my sleep deprived mind talking but- Marco gets outside the wall and finds a tiny titan that's docile for some reasons. Like, I don't know, that titan sees Marco and is like "I'm gonna protect this guy with my life". Marco doesn't complain. Problem is that he can't get inside the wall, he needs to get in contact with someone from the SC (as they often go outside the wall) or preferably find Jean (which is unlikely as he's going to join the MP). Cue to the expedition outside and Marco coming riding on the tiny titan and finds Jean, Armin and Reiner and the first thing he does is yell "Jean!" all happy and relieved and finally feeling safe after so much time alone.

... Then he notices Reiner and all the color goes away from his face. He thinks "We are fucked" - so does Reiner.

I notice your shifters have green tongues and green gums- is their blood green? Plssss tell me about tbis im so curious

Yes their blood is green!!

I had the idea to make their insides/blood green awhile back, but also couldn’t choose between whether I preferred green or regular red, so I decided to make it both!

Their blood starts out green when in circulation (or non-oxygenated), but when exposed to open air (or oxygenated) it quickly turns red! That way I could feasibly keep the look of green insides, while also their skin having warmer tones (as having completely green blood would probably make you look sickly).

Tbh it’s totally not scientifically accurate the process of how their body works and looks, but I just like to chalk it up to magic at the end of the day :3

Also with some visuals taken from their ref sheets :3

Shifter advice (a quick guide):

If someone approaches you saying they can teach you how to shift immediately. Avoid them.

If someone tries to force you into their pack. Avoid them.

If someone claims they know everything. Avoid them definitely. No one knows every single thing. We are constantly evolving and growing and learning.

If someone claims they can turn you and want to meet up. Run. Don't listen or answer. I know it's hard to ignore such a claim but please ignore it for your physical safety.

Avoid cults. Just straight up avoid.

Don't believe everything you hear. There is a lot of misinformation at times.

It's okay if it takes a while for you to figure things out.

Treat others how you would like to be treated too. Kindness is important.

It's okay to ask questions. Be open minded. You will learn a lot.

I feel this question sounds mean, but I'm not good with words so I don't know how to make it sound nicer. I saw a post you made the other day about experiences you've had as otherkin, and they included things like your phantom limbs having some kind of influence in your surroundings (like a friend being able to see them). Wouldn't that be delusional? How is it different from people who claim to be able to transform physically?

Because a delusion is something that can only be perceived by the person experiencing it, primarily.

I move my supernumerary phantom limbs, someone else reacts to them. What exactly is the supposed delusion in this scenario? The phantom limbs are categorically not a delusion. The other person is responding to a stimulus someone else can also perceive, so that's not a delusion.

It's weird, and I don't have a good explanation for it, but the simple fact that it was someone else "seeing" them unprompted (practicing aura sensing, if you want to get more specific, and "seeing" them in my aura/astral body) and was shared between multiple people in as objective a way as you can get with a nonphysical thing (ie, my physical body very carefully held still and yet me moving my wings back and forth and him being able to track them back and forth, and me being able to watch him track them back and forth, indicating that we were both getting the same stimulus at the same time) makes it not a delusion. And, hell, there are other explanations - maybe I was moving just slightly without realizing, and he was subconsciously taking cues from that, for instance - but the event itself is verifiable by multiple people even if the exact explanation is up for debate.

The automatic doors thing is significantly weirder, and it's not like I've done rigorous testing of it so it's possible it's a coincidence, but again, there's a physical thing that is happening that other people can observe. That's not a delusion. Again: I move my supernumerary phantom limb, an observable physical thing happens (whether or not the two are actually linked by causality). What exactly is the delusion in this scenario? The explanation is up for debate, but the physical event itself is verifiable by other people. (As opposed to p-shifting, which, any p-shifter will do a whole song and dance to avoid giving you any actual evidence of their supposed shapeshifting, because they know it's not actually verifiable. Or when they do, it's something that's definitely not what they're claiming it to be.)

This is not my finest explanation of things because I'm struggling to put this into words, but hopefully it's satisfactory.

#also like. there's the fact that half the problem with p-shifters is the habit of dragging young therians and otherkin into cults #and i am not trying to use either of these things to claim i can teach others secret powers or whatever #it's just a 'huh. weird' thing #but that's beside the direct point of your question so #otherkin #rani talks #asked and answered #anonymous

Pshifter culture is having doubts about shifting, only to encounter someone who shifts the same way you do/end up shifting yourself and seeing the proof

Pshifting and Sex, GROUND FLOOR.

This series is for educational purposes only, but does not claim to be the end all to be all on this topic. Please do your own research first.

Welcome to the GROUND FLOOR. Here, we will discuss our primary topic; Pshifting and Sex. This topic has four ground floor stages, the first one being Shifter Bodies, second is Sexuality in Nature, third is Knowing Boundaries, and fourth is Safety.

Let's Begin.

»»»

SHIFTER BODIES.

A shifter is someone who "physically (or much less commonly) spiritually transforms into another being". ("Terminology")

Both spiritual and physical are physical attributes to a body, given that spiritual is defined as metaphysical alongside regular physical experiences. A shifter is not a monolith, just like the human world, shifters have varying "true forms" and "morphed bodies". Each body looks, on the outside, similar to a human body. Many shifters struggle with dysmorphia, and feelings of not being a real shifter based on the fact that they do not or never have shifted before. Due to this, the human body may or may not be a trigger to some shifters. Some may prefer to act more animalistic or allow themselves outside time where they can shift. This relieves that dysphoria/dysmorphia.

Some theories suggest that the shifter's body changes due to hormones, some others claim magic, and others say it is simply your genetic make up. Due to the truth not being accurately studied, and only theories being used, we will be at the universal idea that it is simply physical and that is all it is- without forcing any of the major theoretical ideals.

The various types of physical includes (the ones we mentioned) metaphysical and physical, subcategories of such are spiritual, astral, aural, somatic, beserker shifts, sensory, and exolimb shifts. If you experience these shifters, you are not a shifter until you say you are and until those physical affects permanently change your body. Many alterhumans, a group of humans who are not fully aligned with the human experience, may claim that their spiritual or sensory shifts don't last permanently. By all means, they are not shifters. It is a self-identified label first, and a function later. Permanently means permanently. As in, a spiritual shift that changes your metaphysical body to grow wings or change eye colors. A physical shift that changes the way you walk forever. That's permanence.

Shifters and their bodies seem to be the most discussed topic across all pshifting sites and blogs, but many forget that there are adults in the shifter community that want to feel good about their bodies, and they do want to see more representation of diverse bodies in shapeshifter media. Some adults may indulge in pshifting with others around them for safety, as all should, but when it comes to the sexual appeal of these shifter bodies, many think it is too taboo. There's a hard line to cross between feral, and anthro. Feral doesn't include just four legs on the floor, it includes the inability to speak, consent, and/or write. Anthro can be on four legs, but are usually on two, they have the ability to write, speak, and/or consent. Those two categories are helpful for some who do feel guilty about the appeal towards our shifted bodies due to them being "animalistic". You would not call a cartoon dog real, so why apply real standards to them in order to prevent a real issue with real animals? Not only are fictional and healthy outputs safer for those with none, but most people who are geared towards that (not saying all or most shifters are), seek help for paraphilias and find it not to be disordered. Safety over society's morals saves lives, not just human lives.

»»»

SEXUALITY IN NATURE

Thoughout time, sex and sexuality have been concepts undivided. They were not picky, or dictated by society, nor were they specifically seen as wrong. The only truth was that the puzzle pieces for making children varied based on species. A lion always has to have a lioness to make cubs, but that doesn't mean that the lion can't truly love another lion. This also varies when your species has the ability to change sexes or gender. A ftm lion is still a lion, but now has the ability to birth cubs. If that ftm lion chooses another lion to mate with, that lion doesn't need a lioness because they have a lion who can give birth. Sexuality is fluid, and there have always been same sex couples in the wild. From courting, mating, mounting, it is all love and signs of varying behaviours. Some animals like the dolphin sometimes will masturbate without the need for reproduction, which begs the question... if all nature is inherently existing with the need of pleasure and a fluid sexuality without worry, why do human beings restrict themselves so?

Many shifters also do the same, restricting themselves, but many have found it easier to let go and find the beauty in their own sexuality. By nature, shifters are extremely wild and given that they have merged into society means that there are limited options for them when expressing such sexuality. Yet, many of us have been avoiding the attention of humankind for a while.

Shifters can be straight, but they can also be gay, bi, lesbian, asexual, transgender, perisex, intersex, and much more. We are not a monolith, and we are not all young teens. So we find ourselves engaging in sex or pleasurable things at all stages of our life. Some shifters may choose to masturbate while shifted, others may not. Just like all animals, shifters don't just mate to reproduce. Some lack the partnership to mate in the first place while others don't seem to want that. It's important to know how your body feels and what is best for you. Some shifters hump, some buck, and some rub- but what matters is that they also set boundaries for themselves and others.

»»»

KNOWING BOUNDARIES.

If you as a shifter feels uncomfortable with not shifting during sex, they are welcome to stay in their shifted form, but the boundaries they must set with their partner(s) matter more. You may think that it feels good for all parties, but at some point, you have to be an adult and ask;

Does this work for you?

It's not because you are valuing their pleasure over yours, but you're valuing the safety of their body. Say a bear shifter and a feline shifter are together, and they want to shift during sex. Sure, it may work depending on preexisting factors, but to make sure, those two have to do a size check. Size checks are similar to making sure everything will work. It doesn't account for what gender, or sex you are, it matters. A bear shifter that tops will most likely have trouble if they are the actual size of a bear and not a human-sized one. The same applies to the feline shifter in that being a receiver or giver.

This is how you set boundaries during sexual intercourse. Planned Parenthood describes boundaries as "the line between what you’re cool with and what’s not OK with you. If you’re not comfortable with something happening to you or around you, that means you have a boundary between yourself and that thing." ("Sexual Boundaries: How to Set Them")

Sexual boundaries should be formally set before sex, but they can be enforced during sex as a quick reaction. If a shifter wants to bite you, a quick "no" is setting a boundary between what you're comfortable with and what you're not. Boundaries aren't just what you're doing during sex, it can be your clothing, showing your body, respecting choices, and understanding what hurts and what doesn't. If your boundaries are being pushed, do not let them do so. Shifters are born into human society, and even if they are allowed an inch of what you, another shifter, have- there should be boundaries to protect. Protect yours first. It doesn't matter if they too are a shifter, it is your body.

»»»

SAFETY.

Finding places online and offline like friend-owned packs, cool and calm websites, safety guides for shifters, and much more can boost your confidence. As well as your own safety while shifting. Harloqui writes, "Don't go out in secret. You don't have to tell people not in the know, but you shouldn't be sneaking out without telling anybody where you'll be. If something were to happen to you you'd want someone to alert the authorities early and fast, and sneaking out without telling anybody works against you". ("Shifting Safety Tips")

Safety extends to sex as well. Safe sex not only saves lives but prevents sex related crimes and permanent pain from occurring. Shifter sex can be, in personal experience, very pleasurable if you do it safely. Asking your partner(s) if certain things are okay is not "human-like" or "non-feral".

If you are shifting during sex, there are many ways to prevent the three Rs; Ripping, Rape, and Removing. Obviously, no one wants these, but it's common in the animal kingdom. Ripping refers to when a shifter shifts, either physically or metaphysically, and something rips. This may be the shifter's muscle, or the partner's body. Rape is a sex crime which involves one non-consenting party, and another party breaking that consent. Removing is the act or disrobing, or taking the clothes off your body or someone elses body while in the shifted state. These three can be prevented through personal boundary and safewords or training.

When shifting, does your body tend to rip, ache, tear, or bleed? If yes, you may not want to shift during sex. If you want to continue, be cautious of your partner's size and your own pain. Sex shouldn't be painful, especially not when shifting. When too large, using alternatives like fingers or tongues do well. Blood and muscle tears are dangerous to play around with.

When shifting, do you lose sight and touch with your "human side"? If yes, you tend to find it harder to reconnect to that other side quick enough to pay attention to the signs of a non-consenting party. This is harmful and if you deliberately still shift without consent, that is considered breaking boundaries.

When shifting, do you remove your clothes or remove other's clothes? If yes, it doesn't automatically mean a bad thing. See, shifters are recommended to remove clothing and jewelry, less they choke you or rip. But during that, there is still a very high possibility that the behaviour or taking clothes off is done to another person.

We covered personal boundaries, so safewords and training are up next.

Safewords are word(s) or signal that ends BDSM (and other types) play instantly. Safewords aren't entirely sexual, but they are commonly used in non-/BDSM spaces to end sexual activity. They are important, and everyone needs one. Some safewords are turn offs, and others are simple words like "kitchen". The majority of safewords aren't just "no", they have to be complex unless you are to confuse someone who thinks of "no" or "stop" as playful.

Training is what it says on the tin. To train a consenting human or shifter to understand boundaries is normal. Many relationships go through subconscious training whether we want our partners to pass or not. For some shifters, the idea of training is very erotic or pleasing, and they will have a higher incentive to learn. Most shifters like that are canines, or common pets. Training can go from simple to complex, and requires both the trainer and trainee to be in that mode for the entire time. Training, to some shifters, may be sexual due to sexuality or pre-established kinks. Find out what works for you before choosing.

»»»

Your tour of the GROUND FLOOR has ended. I do hope this helped a few shifters out there. When we talk about sex education, a lot of shifters rely on human resources even if many of us shifters WANT to shift during sex and be in our true forms. I'm here to say that you can.

The next installment will be Pshifting and Sex, FLOOR 1. There, we will talk about Sex Appeal, Dysphoria and Shifting, The Shifter's Parts, and Permanent Changes. As always, this is educational and serves only that purpose!

on one of your posts, you mentioned a "process" pshifters have made as a guide to pshifting. what is that process? could you share it?

thanks!

Of course I'll be glad to share! Obviously it's just a guide to follow to help you p-shift, most people move on to do their own thing and p-shift without it. Also please do note that this isn't the exact replica of like a process within the community, this is an elaborated version that is inspired and mostly drawn also from my own experiences and extra reading I have done thar has worked for me.

(Whole thing under cut, it's long)

So the most basic process you will find is PhMP, which was a method initially developed and named by Phenexus Weyr (as far as I know). It means mental, phantom, and then physical (all out of order which is ANNOYING.)

Obviously you need to find out what the hell you are before you can even think about p-shifting. Figuring out your identity is so much more important in the long run then p-shifting. Your identity will last forever, and p-shifting can consist of less than 1% of a shifters whole life.

Search, research, attempt to mental shift, and repeat until you find out what works for you. The most important part out of this is to remember that you can do whatever you want forever. Figure out you might be something else but have already mental shifted? Just start over! It's okay it's not like it's a race.

First, once you understand your identity, you will then mental shift, like fully.

There is indeed a difference between mental shifting itself, and doing it fully. Sometimes, others animal selves are extremely repressed / is very weak, and mental shifting helps strengthen that bond and eventually fully m-shift. When you ffully do so, this is usually from years of work to a point where you no longer can recognize your past and future self being the same people mentally.

Some people do though, fully mental shift at a young age (very rarely as far as I know) and don't need to do this step at all.

Next, there's phantom shifting, which can be done at the same time as mental shifting. The main goal here is to get incredibly good at completely feel your animal phantom over your body (from what I remember) with ease. It has been argued though that phantom shifting is unneeded, so do it if you feel like you do need to.

And finally physically shifting is the last step, and it takes years for your average shifter to even think about being close enough to reach this goal. The most common signs I have ever seen for when someone is successfully ready to p-shift is when they begin to get long, animal-like hairs on their body that are just like their animal. Usually. I've only seen it 3, 4 times with successful p-shifters. I've also had it, but haven't p-shifted just yet. Other things may include more dream shifts and even shifting in your dreams (I had a partial p-shift irl that was also in my dream and I could feel it. It woke me up though and stopped the shift)

P-shifting at the end of the day, to me, is something that not everyone can accomplish and isn't even that big of a role in being nonhuman, a shifter, a shapeshifter, a supernatural, a werewolf, whatever. It's euphoric, it's amazing, but it also can become obsessive and toxic to people.

I'm not going to deny or try to hide it - p-shifting can easily lead into a rabbit hole of obsession, apathy, disconnection, misanthropy, and escapism. You must watch yourself while following this journey, because it's just too easy to slip into toxic territory with shifting. Anything that allows escapism, can be abused. (Drugs, alcohol, reality shifting, overeating, overconsumption of social media, etc.)

A life lesson to everyone here - check yourself to make sure you aren't trying to escape or cope by using things that allow escape from your life, even if it's a part of your identity. Anything can fall away and become sour if you don't establish healthy boundaries with yourself.

Take breaks, check yourself, breathe, and reroute yourself back to healthy ways of coping. I promise you can both p-shift and be healthy about it, like I am! (At least, I'm trying my best here)

Thank you for asking anon! I hope this answered your question accurately ♡

As always, you can also do your own research if you know where to look. I'll be happy to share some resources if enough people ask!!

And finally if any other p-shifters remember something different / would like to add on, please do. It's incredibly helpful to have a second word and opinion ♡♡♡
