What would you do if you felt you were one species and your body differed from it?

Question

Question Details: Let's say you were outwardly human , but you considered yourself a shark on the inside.

Would U call yourself human or shark? In a sense one is both (if not all) species if they feel say they are shark yet their body is human or medically human. I know that society says if your body is human you're humanregardless of your feeling.. & to fit in one is treated with pills. (this don't work for some though). For some their shark spirit is too strong to be chemically faded with pills like risperdol or seroquel. The spirit is the soul & without that one is merely.. the walking dead. If one had the money they could get their ethnicity changed or aligned to their spirit. many can't afford it & have to tough it out living as a human.. not easy for an shark spirit to do! If one feels shark one can consider themself as shark legally even though society may disagree

Answer 1

This is so hard to talk about...and, well, I've never revealed this to anyone and I'm so thankful someone has the courage to bring this out into the open so I can finally discuss it. You are a brave, brave man...um, shark...um...I don't want to offend you by using a term you do not like, so I'll just use TS (meaning trans-species). Way back in 1996, I knew I was different from the other gals...I just didn't fit in. Deep inside, I was carrying a secret I could reveal to no one--until now, thanks to you TS. I think I knew I was different when I developed a fascination for hiding nuts. I'd be hoarding them, then burying them--sometimes even forgetting where I'd left them. I once got caught with a mouth full of them and thought my family had figured it out, but they didn't, thank goodness. I certainly wasn't ready to reveal myself at that time. They did look askance, but asked no questions. At around the same time, I had this compulsion to climb trees--I'd spend hours up there, enjoying my nuts and grooming my tail. It was the only time I felt really good about myself. There were times when my "obsession" got the better of me, and I'd get so frustrated that I'd yell at random people passing by "my" tree and when the neighbours referred to me as "squirrely" they had no idea how right they were. I've been to several doctors, all of whom dismissed me with loud guffaws and outright hostility. I'm sure you know, TS, how difficult it is inhabiting a body that just doesn't feel right. Now, over ten years later, I feel even less like a person and more like the squirrel that I am secretly inside. Maybe some day, creatures such as you and I can live in a world without hostility, free from the discriminatory policies that mere mortals use to repress us. And I have a dream that one day, all creatures will stand together and accept those of us who, through no fault of our own, are not what we appear to be. One day, TS, you will be free to express your inner shark, and I will be free to enjoy my nuts whenever and wherever I like...even though society may disagree. Thank you for hearing me and allowing me to express what has been buried so long inside.

This argument can be lent to sex change operation, no? Sounds crazy when you say shark/human, but people are so accepting and even sympathetic when it's turned into a male/female thing. Another argument I heard that is similar is that if you feel you are Napolean on the inside, that doesn't make you Napolean.

I don't support sex change operations, I wouldn't support species change operations, and I don't care what antone thinks of that!

Answer 3

Human shark, hmmm...maybe consider become a salesperson or stock broker. Stock up on fish food and swim more.

Answer 4

Is this question the FIRST question in a set up of three questions really leading up to the last?

As if we are able to chose one or the other here we should also be allowed to chose our sex as well??

This is NOT an opinion of should we or not but a question as stated.

lol teeleecee you have a wonderful sense of humor!!

Answer 5

OMG this is so freakin funny, i have been reading up on schizophrenia these last couple weeks because i have been paranoid about myself being like that, but now after reading this i think i can come to believe that there are people in this world who really are crazier than me! LOL

Answer 6

I would study shamanism and take this shark feeling as some kind of spiritual sign...and just spend a lot of time in the ocean.

Answer 7

U could call yourself a Huark or a Shuman and enjoy the best of both species. Do you really think there is only one who feels this way???? Deal with it.

Answer 8

Hard to answer. I would probably have personal thoughts about myself, but I wouldn't know how to deal with it. Something like this could get so personal, it's amazing on how challeging a personal issue could get.

Answer 9

in basic terms the manipulation of the human ego which cant stand being skipped over. greater suitable than being ineffective is the sensation of being skipped over and being forgotten. No ask your self all those brutal dictators of yesteryears went to the style of great volume to have their names etched in historic previous... All those great aristocrats had poems written approximately them.. They and so do we experience we are great, we are diverse, we are the chosen one born to be triumphant in " achievement"... we are the chosen one destined to fulfill the final guy/ lady and so on and so on. devoid of this, we'd lose our satisfaction, esteem and a reason to stay

Answer 10

Well, thats what chimeras feel, and im not arrogant enough to say I wouldnt do the same under the same circumstances.
