*Warning if you are sensitive to just dark themes dealing with therianthropy in general don't read this.* Ok if you're friends with a therian irl I have one piece of advice DON'T. FORCE. THEM. TO. SHIFT. One of my irl friends, upon finding out I was a therian and learning all the therian stuff immediately thought "Hmm yes, what a good idea, make my friend feel absolutely terrified to make him turn into angry woof. I'm such a genius and totally not a psychopath." Like they didn't even try to hide it! Literally asked me "So what are you afraid of" I felt forced to ask so I told them my actual fear, being mocked of I think. And I had to deal with THAT. Being mocked by my own closest and longest-had friend. FOR AN AGONIZINGLY LONG SIX MINUTES OR MORE. It felt absolutely terrible, if I had not been paralyzed in fear I would have gotten a weapon on all fours at the speed of light and blown off their head. Swear to The One And Only Lᴏʀᴅ our Father they really wanted to see me absolutely die. Then would have been an amazing time to have a mental breakdown ending in being set on fire. So they would have learned that it's bad to force your friend to try to become an angry woof. Because it will end in third degree burns. Also during this whole thing I kept saying "no" and "i don't want to" and "stop". They didn't listen and kept mocking me. And I can't tell my parents because they'd probably think I'm delusional because therian and disown me. TLDR: Don't force your therian friends to emotional shift. It will make them have a mental breakdown and they will hate you forever.
