I Feel Like The Only One Of My Kind

Lone Wolf...
Sometimes, it can be difficult to be something that most do not believe or understand. You are constantly bombarded with claims that you cannot possibly exist, and to think otherwise means you are either an idiot or insane. It hurts enough to know that most do not believe in you or others like you. Suddenly, your family history and everything you do means absolutely nothing. You are not normal, so you are automatically evil and must be destroyed or locked away from society. Even for those that believe in what I am, there are many who think of us as monsters that would steal babies at night and kill without reason. Those who know we exist have done a good job of making most believe we do not exist and demonizing us so that, even if they knew, they would see us as mindless beasts and nothing more.
Many may read this with skeptical eyes and discount every word I say, judging before knowing who they judge and why they are even so quick to be close-minded. I have no solid proof of what I am, although I have been searching for it. Therefore, I cannot claim that we do exist. However, I do hope that there are those out there who would at least consider the possibility. And more importantly, I hope that those who do not believe realize that they most likely have no more proof that we don't exist than I do that we do exist.
If I could have one wish, It would be that my kind could be acknowledged by humans and accepted amongst them with little to no problems. In truth, it sounds like a foolish wish, but it never hurts to hope. I just don't want to feel so alone anymore. I cannot be myself because others would think me to be insane. I must reform to human society, even though it is difficult and I cannot help but be stubborn about it. I just wish you people out there would realize what all has been done to my kind. So many murdered for pointless reasons and then forgotten or covered up. And now we are forced to hide because exposure could be extremely dangerous. There are those of my kind that do not want humans to find out about us, but I do for a reason I cannot explain. I just believe it is time for the public to know, and hoepefully we will be accepted someday. Understand that, regardless of everything humans have done to me, my family and friends, I still hold out a hand and ask for friendship.
Grudges are pointless now, and I will gladly set aside every dark thing in my past for a chance to make my kind known to the public and have them be accepted. I hope that such a thing can happen. Then no longer will I have to see someone look at me strangely when I mention anything about what I am. No more lies and hatred.
As I said before, I cannot convince anyone of what I am. But people put enormous amounts of blind faith in things that may or may not be true, so all I ask is that people out there give me a chance. At least consider that it might be possible.

I have been asked this a few times, but more often I am asked to "change" people. We won't get into that. In response to your question, HootieHoo, there are multiple things. First and most importantly, some have a stronger knowledge or feeling within them than others as to what they are. They many "awaken" at a young age, as an adult, or even never. Now remember, we are referring solely to those not born into families aware of what they are. Some are lucky enough to have parents that know about all this and can explain it to their children. Anyway, back to your question. There are some physical differences it seems. I haven't proven that, but it seems to be the case. They are not really easy to spot like the false ideas of hairy palms or a unibrow, but they can be recognized. It's more about behavior and subjective (internal or psychological) aspects. I, for example, was led to my realization partially by the many werewolf-related dreams I started having at a young age. The best way to recognize a wolf is when someone believes that is what they are even though to believe it is to accept the torment that comes with it. In a way, you accept it even though you do not necessarilly want it. The disbelief, fear, and even hatred that comes with it should deter you, but you accept it because you know it is true. Only once I accepted what I am did my nightmares stop. I cannot say there will be some powerful force in you telling you what you are, but somehow you just know even though you may not realize it.

i think its easier for us wolves to spot another wolf then it is for humans. Atleast i easily see who is wolf and who aint, i see it mostley in there eyes and a few other things that is sort of hard to explain.
Drachona · 31-35, M
Personally, I believe that my "radar" is broken. So I do not know how exactly I would spot someone like me.
waterwolf123
ah well ok. i guess its independent for everyone.
Drachona · 31-35, M
It's not so much the lore and mythology as it is humanity. Most do not like the unknown; they want it gone. And so, they embrace what I call DDE. First, Demonize. Make non-humans appear monstrous. If something is a monster, it's much easier to kill. How easily could you kill something you thought was a monster until you found it playing with its husband/wife and child? Second, Destroy. Once the people are all-for killing the "monsters", those in power make sure the people are satisfied. Then, once you have done this, if possible, Erase them from history. Think of when an invading nation would destroy all records of another nation, like the destruction of the Library of Alexandria.

And to you RiverValley, I know what you're going through. If my assumption is correct, we are of the same kind or at least close. For the longest time, I didn't want to talk to my friends or parents about what I was going through. But believe me when I say that if anyone is supposed to trust in you and love you no matter what, it is your family. If they do think you're crazy, they are not truly family. In blood, yes, but they are not acting like a real family should. In the end, your parents are your best friends no matter how nice or horrible or neglectful they may be. If you can't trust them, who can you trust?

Take it from someone who has nearly drowned in loneliness many times, telling those close to you will help. You'll only truly be able to deal with what you are when you receive help from others. Eventually, you'll understand it.

I wish you luck.

i agree with most of what you are saying.
But i disagree with one thing, i really dont think humans are ready to know, and i actually dont want them to either. i like my privacy, its enough to talk about it on this website. If we where to show them the truth i think we would be hunted down and being forsed to live in a lab or a cage.
No i deffenetly dont want the humankind knowing.
But a really good story man, thumbs up to you ;)
waterwolf123
i understand this and i respect you belifs i just dont want to be a part of it. and this dicussion is not going anywhere so i just want it to end. And i am open minded and i have thought it thro and i still stand on my point and i hope you can respect that back! ;)
Drachona · 31-35, M
I do respect your opinion. I just feel like I have wasted my time. If something does happen, regardless of likelihood, I just hope that someone else has a plan of action.
Drachona · 31-35, M
Yes, it is an endeavor for the good of all beings. The alternative, of course, is not any better. In my opinion, it is much worse in the long-term. But apparently, no one cares to think about that. Screw the future; if it works now, then why bother to ever change anything.
Drachona · 31-35, M
First off, I would never tell someone to "shut up" in such a place. I put this story here. In doing so, I accept the possibility that people may respond negatively or positively to it. Even the most insulting comments, I would accept because it allows me to learn how people view my claims and what kinds of people to look out for when speaking of such things. Nothing you have said, however, is offensive to me. Quite the contrary, you have been very kind and accepting; certainly qualities that a person who claims to be a "mythical creature" does not encounter often. On top of that, I do get many questions, but most are along the lines of "can you bite me?" or "can you change me?". I would enjoy questions that are a bit more substantial.

Lastly, I do thank you for your caring. I always hope for happiness, however I feel that a challenge is coming, and not one I will necessarilly want to face. Many I know feel that something bad is coming. I do not know what it is, but I have had the feeling for a few years now that, as strange as it may sound, I will be responsible for the protection of many lives in the future. Do not ask me to explain why. I have no idea. Whatever it is, if it is anything, I fear it and, in some ways, look forward to it.
FierceLycan
I feel the same way Drachona.
Drachona · 31-35, M
I thank you for your words. They are greatly appreciated. If you truly do believe me, I am glad. However, I must caution you. Believing someone you haven't met can be dangerous. I would know. Although it was not easy for me at first to forgive, I have come to realize what is wiser. The one who chooses to stop the fighting and move on for the good of all beings is the one who is most mature and has learned the most from their experiences. And while I appreciate your desire to alleviate my pain, I would not trade it for anything. My pain is a reminder of my mistakes and my experiences. To take it away would be to take away the knowledge and wisdom I have gained because of it. Almost always, the safest person is the most naive. However, as I said, I do appreciate your words.

I'd believe you but I wish there is proof.I want to believe that werewolves exist but I need proof.
waterwolf123
why do you need proof?
waterwolf123
we are called wolves simple as that. you are a wolf, not a werewolf. werewolves doesnt exist.
Drachona · 31-35, M
Where are you getting this information? You are suggesting that you believe in the existence of wolves, but not werewolves. First of all, if you take the definition of "werewolf" based on its etymology (which is rather broad), that includes wolves. Human and wolf to some physical and/or psychological extent. Human-wolf; werewolf. Secondly, to prove that werewolves do no exist, you have to counter all of the available evidence that suggests they do. What is your counter-argument for the existence of werewolves?

Drachona i know what you are talking about. my mother is locked up because of what we are. she is in a cage. i should be in there instead of her. i have never felt so alone. humanity has made me feel like a monster. i was once at a point of telling them that my mother wasnt guilty of this, that i am. the only thing that that stopped me was the fact that i knew she wouldnt want that. just know that you are not alone. i have broken down repeatedly, built myself up again, just to break once more. you are not alone.
RaisingHell15
Drachona, I do not find you at all crazy. I have seen alot of things in my life, things that would be cast aside as either pure insanity or as just make believe. But I understand your feeling, because I am also different, like you. Although, we are not the same. I talk about something regarded as Evil more often than your kind is. If you would, I would like you to message me. It would be very refreshing to talk to someone who feels like I do.
melikat
i realize this and do you know sovietwolf? she or he will expose our existence but she or he is coming at it in the wrong direction. If she follows through she will just push the humans to believe that we are monsters, for she is declaring war, and then it will be much harder. i am only 13 and im going through this. plus i understand it. well, most of it.
gwidean
Yes . But if it did come public know one would you believe it if you act like a wolf in front of the public don't think you're strange they wouldn't leave your wolf in mind nowadays just cant compound it but who knows maybe is a good thing/:|

Repression does not lead to progression. We can continue to hide, which is easy at least for now. Or, we can seek greater cohesion within non-humans, break down the lies and misconceptions surrounding "supernatural" subjects, and seek co-habitation with humans that both respects uniqueness and argues against concepts of superiority/inferiority. Groups do not evolve through being disorganized and inconsistent. If we lack cohesion and do not fight for the truth, we will not progress. And we cannot seek cohesion or truth if we hide.
RiverValley
lore and mythology have given my kind a bad name, i dont doubt my family and friends would turn on me or think im crazy if they knew. and so we are isolated apart from the rare incidents when we come across others of our kind. i dont know what you are, but i can relate to you.
Drachona · 31-35, M
Part of me believes that the time to expose our existence is close, but I know it would be dangerous. Something must happen soon. If there were a way I could redirect all the potential chaos resulting from exposure to me, I would do it in a second. I want to do this for the good of everyone, not for me.
Drachona · 31-35, M
I recognize that name "sovietwolf", however I will not judge someone I don't know until I further understand the situation. If what you all are saying is true, then I would be more than willing to help. I suppose this will continue in messages where it is relatively private.
itsmesally
Send me a message about this. I'd be more then happy to talk. If it helps, I don't think you're crazy. I don't know exactly what you're talking about...but I'm not doubting you at all. At least know this.
HootieHoo
How do you know if you are one? Is it a strong knowing internally or physical differences as well? My apologies if you've been asked this many times already.
Hope you all are doing well.
waterwolf123
most of us just know it by our selves. But i think in rare cases, that a wolf can go throu its hole life not knowing that they are one.
