This may sound weird, but has anyone else ever thought that they weren't meant to be human? Some days I feel like an animal, observing my surroundings and trying to determine what is and is not a threat. Kind of like wild cat or a wolf. Does anyone else think this way?

I do. I'm very cautious and empathetic, so it's pretty simple for me to figure out whats a threat or whats not. My boyfriend tells me that my movements seem rather cat like (He's likened me to a leopard on more than one occasion.)

But even with all of that... I'm rather fond of my thumbs.

Yea i have some wierd animalistic habits, my friends always point them out to me, but i also think i wasnt meant to be human because i suck at it haha im pretty fail when it comes to life....

Ha ha. Of course I do. Even my name is Kat. xD Though a bunch of people used to/still do make fun of me for it.

I feel like that sometimes, to a point, but I chalk it up to the fact that as animals ourselves, we probably aren't meant to spend so much time indoors at a computer screen. D=

I used to get out on hiking trips a lot more, being in nature helps. =D

I used to have these weird flashes pretty often when I was around a large number of people (ie at school), lasting from a fraction of a second to about five seconds, where I felt like I was outside of everything looking in. Noise got muted and nothing made sense. Not language, interactions, movements, nothing human made sense.

I think i was meant to be... a mermaid. Seriously, even if it is a "mythical" creater, I still think it would be for me. I am taking marine classes, I love the legends and stories, and scince i live on lake michigan, In the summer im there every day. Once, (i have an amazing lung capacity and choir and band helps improve it even better) I went under water and just never felt like coming up, it felt as if i was under there for hours. it ended up only being around 3 minutes but stilll it was magical, i didnt have the urge to come up for breath at all. I love opening my eyes in the lakes, its amazing.

I've felt like that before, even thought like it...when i was younger instead of crawling i 'walked' around on all fours 0.o am i weird? oh wait i am i already knew that...but i've had moments where i'm looking out a window or something at the city and i just wonder kind of why? why do we live like this....why do we put up with each other to the extent we do... I don't know if i'm making sense but sometimes it feels like the animals have life so much simpler...that and for some reason i'm like a cat i see a moving object and i just want to touch it make it stop moving...idk play with it...yep i'm weird!

Isn't that normal? It'd be strange for people not to have habits related to such. We're generally animals to begin with.

I was under the impression that humans were animals. Same thing with corals. But there are many times that I would rather not be human.

I have some similar experiences.
Often I find myself sizing people up, getting ready to strike out if I feel like someone is a threat.
Also, as I walk through interesting places, be it a park or a campus or a store, I will get this sudden urge to leap onto all fours and run, like a cat or a dog. I want to weave through underbrush, leap over benches or fallen trees, and weave through people or bushes, I just want to run long and fast like I would with a pack.
Sounds strange but I've had dreams about these things. And they're always wonderful dreams.
So yes. Sometimes I feel like Would have been better off as... something else.

I just don't think I'm suited to be a human. It doesn't interest me :l Neither do being any animal really. I think I should have been some alien that exists for a purpose, that doesnt move or have to do things. Ok that does sound weird after you all think you'd be better as cats..

I actually like being a human - you get to do more things and see more things being a human.

However, if I had to be an animal - it probably just be some house pet like a cat or dog. I like the idea of sneaking into the bathroom while someone's taking a shower and just staring at them, lol. (And yeah, you could probably do this as a human being but I'm sure the repercussions would be a lot more severe.)

I'm sure I was a cat in a past life because everything about me is like a cat and honestly, I can somewhat speak and understand cats and have a small following of cats on campus. I think I belong in the wild because I just can't seem to associate with humans very well.

I have often wondered if I am human at all, I can see in the dark like it is day(I am not joking, the only difference is it is kinda grayer at night) I tend to react to things quicker than everyone else I hear/smell/taste/see/feel things that noone else does and they are there but it is like most people including people in my family can't detect them until they are much much closer; I can walk on my toes or the front of my feet and the sides of my feet and I don't notice when I do and my gaits are very similar to those of animals. I have no flight reaction just fight, I can naviget through a area I have newver been to before and find my way back out I can climb/swim/etc better than most ppl and if I am hiding and I don't want to be found noone will find me. I react to any noise/smeel that i detect in some way and I havn't aged since I was 16, I heal incredibly fast(a cut will heal completely in 4 hrs) and I get along with animals better than people; I don't know but I am just the farthest thing from your average human there is I think. I wonder if I might be some frealy mutation or dead end on the evolutionary path or sopmething, I honstly don't know but I have often wondered if I am human or not even though i know I am; it is quite irritating since ppl hate me for some reason too and i don't know why. If anyone can think of what I should be just quote my comment or something....

Oh, yeah, totally. sometimes i'm so creepy my friends consider me a vampire. Most of the time though, I'm more of a mix between a snake (spoiled, stubborn, evilish, cold-blooded) and a black cat. ( omen of evil, nightsight, center of attention, spoiled) sometimes, I think that I might be a evil thing, cause in chemestry I stared at a glass of green stuff for a long time and it exploded everywhere. ^^; I got detention, and that was the only time that I had ever even went to class. total amount of going to class= probably 30-50 times since school started. Tee-Hee.

Most of the time, I don't feel like I'm in my body. Does that count? Like I'm constantly looking at things from another perspective and I don't notice that I'm myself until I actually think about it.

I don't really think of myself as an animal, I don't want to sound ignorant or selfish but sometimes I feel like i'm slightly above humans. I most likely just feel that way though since I know lots of things that most people don't know at my age ( not talking about disturbing or magical stuff I just know more I guess? Which doesn't make me any smarter in school since we have different subjects but I just know lots of different facts and I know alot of animals artworks and so on... )

If I was an animal I have a feeling that I would be a clouded leopard, a animal whose behavior is unknown. :) But they do live in the rainforests which I swear everytime I enter a forest I have a odd feeling like i've been there before. XD I can even climb and lounge in high trees like clouded leopards. XD

humen are stuid once a demon always a demon

totally! i was a squirrel or something in a past life.
Im really timid, and flighty. i am paranoid, and i get really nervous when a stranger comes near me. ive got this constant urge to just climb a tree, but there are no good trees around here, and if there are i feel like somebody will be watching me climb this tree, so i dont. i also have always wanted to hug a tree. literally. but our trees are skinny or just not suitable for tree-hugging. im always talking to squirrels. i even EAT like squirrels! i take small bites and nibble on everything. i always lose my stuff, putting it somewhere and forgetting where it is, just like a squirrel and a nut. i am very quiet and shy, and i tend to stand in the backround and just watch everyone else. i dont like attention to be focused on me. i tend to rush, walking quickly or skittering along. i often get the urge to just start running, which can never last TOO long (stupid asthma!). i dont feel like i fit in with people. i store things away and hoard things constantly. this proves nothing, its just a weird coincidence, but i also have slightly buck teeth and a high pitch voice. (not in an annoying way)
theres more, i just dont feel like typing it all right now.
even my friends compare me to squirrels and chipmunks, and hamsters.

i also sometimes suddenly feel all disoriented, and like i shouldnt be there.
once it hit me really strong. i walked out of my com arts class at school, and just froze midstep. i saw all the people rushing by, going to their classes and lockers, and got all nervous, as if they were a threat to me. i remember looking around, wondering where i was, wondering how i got there. i felt...wrong. like i shouldnt have been there. it felt like i was surrounded by a bunch of threatening people who could lunge at me any second, and i had no idea why i was there, how i got there, or where i was supposed to go. i just felt like i had to get out. it lasted for about a minute, maybe 2, before i shook my head and stumbled forward in a daze. i was freaking out, wondering what that was all about. ver unsettling feeling.
same thing has happened a few other times, but i had a vague sense that i had been here before, some instinct of knowing which direction i should go. but that first time, nothing. i had no memory of this place whatsoever, and i had no idea why i was there or where to go.
it freaked me out.

Gummi, your experience (the disorientation one) hits home for me, sort of. I have a similar feeling every now and again, and it's always when I'm with friends or family. Like, we're having a conversation, and BAM! I just feel... wrong. Like I shouldn't be there, and that these people I'm talking to either don't really know me or don't like me. Or just that I don't fit in. It's really strange. I haven't had it happen for a long time now, which is good. Because it really freaked me out the few times it's happened. It reminds me a lot of deja vu. Perhaps strange things like this happen to more people than I thought... Odd. Humans are strange things. XP

Yay im not alone!
i thought for sure i was the only one!
yeah, isnt it weird? it happens to me at very random times, always when there are a bunch of people around me. but its been, oh, maybe 2 weeks since it last happened.
but, it kind of makes sense that it would happen to me, cuz im paranoid. so feeling threatened makes sense. but, the rest doesnt...forgetting where i am and how i got there....not normal.
it only happened when i was talking to somebody once, and it was a like how you described, but a bit different; i just sorta forgot who i was talking to, and that i even knew the person. it was kinda different than my other experiences, i didnt feel threatened, just dazed and confused. like, i was basically thinking; wait what? what was i saying? *glance at person im talking to* who is this? what am i doing talking to them? wait...what am i doing here...?
but it only lasted for like a minute. i was weirded out when i managed to get my brain to work again.

i dunno. its kinda like complete memory loss for a moment, but different. its a creepy feeling.

i wonder if there are other people other people like you or me? our situations are definetely similar, no doubt!

I know I get WEIRD when I get into umm... physical conflicts, like go for the throat, bite, general bad stuff. That and I like being high, like on the roof high I just sit and watch. My sofa is up against the wall, I'll sit on the back watch T. V. and/or play xbox. I like haveing my back to a wall, not a widow or the room.

@kattsynn- omg you sound just like me! i love being high up! my dad is letting me remodel my room, and i told him to make my bed as high up as he can (like, the top part of a bunk bed, and where the bottom bunk is supposed to be, i'll have a couch or something) so that i can be as high up as possible. i would get on the roof, but im 13 and theres no way dad would let my climb onto our roof, or a way i could climb up without him finding out. >.< so i settle for just getting as high up as i can in the house. (not fair)
i always want my back to be pressed against a wall, but that's mainly so that nobody can sneak up on me. :sweat:
i ive never gotten into a fight, but i most likely would bite. :sweat: bite and scratch with my long nails.

I figured out what I am most like, oh it's gone again though I don't think I act like any animal really I don't know but I have always felt superior to other ppl and I feel more at home alone than with most ppl but that may be conditioned; I guess my birthday which is the 18th(6+6+6) might have something to do with that but I don't know. I don't know still but I know one thing for sure I am not now nor have I ever been normal, I just wish I knew what I was...
