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.

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.

I see there's new people in the tags? 👀
I'm kinda concerned about the amount of shifters trickling in and your safety, so I hope y'all don't mind if I offer up some information and tips for newbies looking to safely navigating the community:
Avoid people who start talking about doomsday conspiracies. They never come true, and tends to create unnecessary drama and anxiety. Also be wary of people who talk about hunters a lot - those who talk about them aren't typically dangerous but it can still lead to a lot of unnecessary paranoia and drama, so you might want to avoid those conversations if you're not in a good headspace for them.
Never pay for any claimed tricks or secrets to shifting. Never give any of your personal info (as in, photos of yourself, your address, etc.) to someone offering to turn you. Never meet up with someone who claims to be able to turn you. Most (if not all) of the people offering "the secrets to p-shift" freely like this have nefarious intentions, and you don't want to get caught up in their plans.
Don't feel pressured to do things that make you feel worse, or impair you. Nobody should be forcing you to shift, cut off connections or friends, hurt yourself or do anything that you don't feel comfortable doing. If they are, cut them off or tell someone who can help.
If you're the pack-faring type, remember that packs should be democratic and fair to all its members. A pack should not be a dictatorship, or a place where some members gang up on others. An alpha or beta should not be power-hungry and controlling. Packs are more like found family, a group of friends, or an online forum, not an abusive cult.
Keep up with your health and life. Don't neglect it because you're a shifter, make sure you're healthy (or as healthy as you can be.) Shifting sucks when you're sick, so make sure you're taking care of yourself! But don't overdo it (don't take too much vitamins or drink too much water, for example) - even too much of a good thing can be dangerous! And don't do anything that seems too dangerous for your body. Even as a shifter (and even when shifted) your body still has limits.
Also, don't forget to take care of your mundane duties either. You may be a shifter, but you're also living in a human society, and unfortunately you can't survive in one without living like a human. (I know younger shifters tend to get a little overzealous and forget about their everyday lives for a bit, so this is moreso geared towards them than the experienced ones.) Stay in school, learn well, pick up a new hobby or two, enjoy what human society has to offer.
(Also take this, it will help you on your journey)
I'm pretty sure most of you know this already, but since I don't know who knows, I thought it wouldn't hurt to have a refresher. Stay safe out there!

I have a question! You have stuff saying you practice p-shifting in your bio, could I have more info about that? I've heard it mentioned before but know very little.
Of course! Recently I havent been practicing as much, and Im currently going through a phase of reteaching myself certain important values (yet again lol) but I'll try my best to tell you a bit more.
P-shifting is basically the form (or practice) of physically changing into an animal. Its widely believed to be taboo, but if you know where to look you will find plenty of help if you are looking to accomplish it.
I practice physically shifting into an animal, and theres plenty of structured ways to go about it. (Such as PhMP, Blaze's method, etc.) I currently have been practicing more therianthropic ways of mentally shifting and sort of lost touch with physically shifting, so Ill be getting back to it as soon as my power turns back on and I have the time to delve deeper once again. (Currently my whole city has no power, im currently at a casino writing this-)
Theres this idea that its very harmful and dangerous, but in honesty I personally have never had to deal with it being very harmful and/or dangerous to me or my mental health. In fact, before it I was very mentally ill, so its been a journey of healing and self-discovery. I feel like its taught me how to care for myself, accept myself and how I look, and be present to who I am and where I am in the moment. (Sounds counterintuitive, but after all of this time I have gotten here lol)
I have read that its very cult-like, and teaches people to do horrible, nasty stuff - but I've been lucky to never have to deal with it. Im so, very sorry for anyone who has. As long as you critically think, take the time to understand and conceptualize what you are doing, and take it slow, most likely you wont hurt yourself by practicing it.
People can be very misguiding and can hurt you if you arent careful, but know that physically shifting shouldn't hurt you in such a way that you will have to heal, put you in danger, or go to the hospital. You do not need anything to physically shift either. (No spells, no eating raw meat, no cutting yourself, no starving yourself, no getting bitten or meeting up with strangers, etc. Anyone who tells you anything of the sort is wrong, or is trying to manipulate you.)
Of course, not everyone can have bad intentions, but please be weary and keep your head screwed on tight when you are learning new things about p-shifting in general. Fantasy and the real world can be very, very easily blurred together with this sort of topic. If it seems dangerous, then listen to yourself and simply don't do it. There is always another way.
Its kinda difficult to necessarily explain it in a way for anyone to understand well - its really your journey and is something that you have to go and find out yourself from finding other resources. I guess you could say its like therianthropy, but we physically shift instead. Of course, theres more differences, but thats the most basic way to explain it.
I hope this answered your question!

I was making some werewolf gifs to use in the sidebar of our blog. I thought it might be cool to share it with the rest of werewolf enthusiasts here, so here you go! Feel free to use.

Hey guys, reminder to everyone that I don't just identify with the terms nonhuman and therian, I fully identify as a canine alongside my (sadly) physical human body.
I am a physical nonhuman. I am a dog.
And I'm tired of seeing hate towards physical nonhumans/alterhumans in our own community. Physical nonhumans, endels, shifters, and clinical zoanthropes are all an important and valid part of our community. Sure we may look like humans to you, but we are animals. We are not 'crazy' or 'mentally ill' because of this.
Everyone in the community is an animal in their own way and we all have to learn to respect that.

I'm tired of the rhetoric that's "physical shifters are dangerous !1!1!!1" when in reality, us physical shifters are just misunderstood.
Physical shifting is often the result of a psychotic disorder. We are not dangerous. We aren't going to harm you.
Claiming that us physical shifters are dangerous only feeds into the harmful stereotypes against schizophrenics and other psychotic disorders.
Do better.

How My Mind Works As A Shifter~
Hello! Welcome to my tedtalk. Before I continue I would like to say that I am not an expert. I am only speaking from my personal experience with things. I am not speaking for the community as whole. This is what I personally go through. Thank you for making it this far. Let's talk about it now.
There are two parts or rather two sides of thinking as a shifter. The more humane side and the animal side. There are days I feel connected to my animal side, my shifter side. Then there are days I feel less connected and more "human" like. I've been told by other shifters this is common in some of us.
What are the differences between the two? You may be wondering that. When I am more humane I am more into being around humans. I care more about them. I feel my emotions more intensely. I overthink everything. Doubt becomes prevalent. I "blend" in easier. I can empathize easier with humans.
When I am more in tune with my animal side I feel disconnected from humans. I am more sympathetic than empathetic towards people. I empathize more with the shifter or nonhuman community. I feel urges to be out in nature. I experience mental shifts more frequently. During those shifts it's hard to talk or verbalize. I whimper, I paw at things, I bite, howl, and growl. I think more like an animal. Less like a person. I'm more in tune with it spiritually as well. I long to be around others like myself too. A mindset where I don't act on thoughts but rather survival.
However, most days I experience what I call being "in between" or in the middle of the two. Whereas my mind switches back and forth between connecting and disconnecting. Where my thoughts wonder between human like thinking and non human thinking. My mind cannot pick a lane to stay in, basically.

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
Like 🤦‍♂️ of course it's real, how could I have been so dumb

is there a way to tell if you have the gentics to shift, and is there a way to calculate your ABF?
Either by shifting, or just knowing you're a shifter. That's how most of us know - we shift/know we're a shifter, and then look back and see that it's most likely a genetic process passed down within our families.
I really wouldn't use the ABF for anything shifter-related - Blaze made the whole thing up, and anything he's written about Animal Blood Factor is just fantasy. You don't need to know it for shifting, and most shifters don't have one/don't believe in one. I've never calculated it myself.

the whole community is on fire (which is surprisingly anything but the actual audience you were looking for)
just me?? No???

Otherkin stop conflating p-shifters with abusers and liars challenge
Can a p-shifter be abusive and a liar? Yes, they can. Is it true of everyone who calls themselves a p-shifter? No
All I've been seeing for the past couple of weeks has been people implying all p-shifters are either clinical lycanthropes or culty abusers, which is far from the truth. You don't need to be a clinical lycanthrope to have experiences of p-shifting (especially if you actually like your experiences and function well with them) but you also don't need to be an abuser to identify as one. Remember, sometimes people with cultural beliefs surrounding shapeshifting and roleplaying kids identify themselves as p-shifters too, it's not a good look to insist many POC and children online are inherently trying to manipulate others or delusional for believing in werewolves.
And quit it with the double standards. Everyone is willing to look past contradictions and absolute nonsense in the community to hate on p-shifters, which feels incredibly backhanded to say the least.
When someone claims they were born otherkin it's applauded and celebrated, but when a p-shifter claims they're genetically a shifter it's "eugenics" and "white supremacy". When shifters don't want to publicly talk about the intricacies of their shifting experiences and only want to find others like them it's considered a red flag, but when otherkin are afraid of publicly sharing their intimate experiences because of ~trolls~ and try to publicly seek out other kin like them it's understood.
Otherkin will (rightfully) shout down shifters trying to recruit and peer pressure others into being shifters, but nobody bats an eye when otherkin try to recruit and peer pressure others into identifying as otherkin. Otherkin sometimes try to act on their kin urges, sometimes even in concerning ways (eating grass, for one) but despite that everyone assumes a p-shifter will automatically do something dangerous even with no indication that they're thinking of doing anything wrong. When zoophile therians claim to need support and acceptance and that their attractions aren't inherently abusive much of the community nods its head, but when non-abusive p-shifters simply exist near the community everyone throws a fit.
Quit misleading everyone and stop insisting that p-shifting = abuser. It's not always the case, and even when it is it's not because they're a p-shifter, but because they're a genuinely shitty person. Stop giving abusers a free pass.

Fellow shifters
The alpha of the pack is looking for other shifters in the state of Florida in the southern east coast area. I have been wanting to meet and hang out with fellow shifters and hoping I can find some aquatic shifters in the area. If interested in talking or joining the pack, please reach out!

fellow reality shifters of tumblr, how do you fully detach yourself from your CR?
i am very happy and content with my CR pretty much right now, but i also want to shift, but i’m wondering if one of the reasons why i haven’t been able to yet is because of how happy i am in this and therefore am so connected to it that i do not wish to leave it on a subconscious level. do you think this is a possible reason for why i’m not shifting, and if so, how do you suggest i detach myself from my CR? if it isn’t a possible reason, could you maybe still suggest ways to detach yourself from your CR though please?
