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.

Have you looked for it?
dawg007
I try.but with so many different cases its hard to tell what is the truth.

Just start with what makes sense. Does the idea of the full moon governing transformation make sense or a unibrow as a physical characteristic? Just weed out what seems overly ridiculous. A lot of what is perpetuated in movies and modern books is false or exaggerated. Instead of starting from human accounts of werewolves, start from the beginning. Ask what it would take and what might be involved in a being that can physically transform from human to wolf. Drop everything you think you know and consider what such a being may be like. If you think logically, you're bound to get a few things right at least.

That was helpfull.thank you.would you tell me characteristics just for a head start? I just want to get an idea of what I'm looking at.

Well, behavior differs as much between wolves as it does between humans. Generally, though, a wolf may act a bit eccentric and be more interested in living "naturally". A desire to not conform with human society may be obvious or at least visible once you get to know a person. Any behavior comparable to a wolf's may also be seen, or at least more like a non-human animal. More likely than not, determining a wolf from anyone else would be difficult because of how people feel about the subject of werewolves. You would not want to be obvious by acting strange in public because people would either think you are insane or, worst case scenario, try to kill you.

That helps.thank you.

No problem. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

please dont call us werewolves.... u of all should understand that!
Drachona · 31-35, M
You can use any term you like. For me, werewolf is rather broad because it suggests both humanness and wolfishness simultaneously. Plus, it is widely understood by those who are ignorant to the subject and thus makes it easier to communicate ideas. However, if you have a better term, then let me know and I will consider it. I cannot simply use no term at all.

why do you need proof?
waterwolf123
we are called wolves simple as that. you are a wolf, not a werewolf. werewolves doesnt exist.

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?
