I Am A Real Werewolf

Okay, Listen Up... Alright, I am both physically and mentally tired, and I am also tired of having to say the same thing over and over again. So, let us just clarify about the concept of biting. I will try to make this as simple as possible.

First: there is no known evidence to validate the concept that a werewolf can change another person into a werewolf.

Second: the concept, even in myths and legends, barely if at all existed before the age of movies because, while it lacks logic in real life, it is an excellent plot device to show a person's life "changing" from being socially awkward to being confident and cool, or just to make you feel sorry for their "curse".

Third: there is no good justification for wanting to be a werewolf or anything other than what you are because changing what you are will not change who you are and, most of the time, people only want to be changed because they do not like their current life. So, instead of facing their problems, they seek a release. They want to run away and be in the woods and feel the wind on their face and be free, etc. In reality, life is not that simple. Your problems do not cease to exist just because you ignore them. In fact, almost all of the time, they get worse.

Fourth: any person who would actually come to where you are and bite you to "change" you is not someone you would want near you in the first place. No real wolf is going to out themselves so easily, much less take the time and money to drive or fly to your house and put their mouth on a stranger's body.

Fifth: because you are wanting to become a werewolf, I would assume then that you do not know what it is like to be a werewolf. You will not be super-strong, be able to hear someone whispering a mile away, become magickally "cooler" as a person, or join some battle between werewolves and vampires. You will be a person who is inescapably different from the general public. You will be laughed at for even mentioning the word "werewolf". You will have nightmares about being chased or chastised. You will cry at times because you know you are not alone, but you still feel separated and dwarfed by a mass of people who might either not believe in you or even hate you. To be so different in a world that deifies the concept of normality is not an easy life. If you are this way, then you learn to accept and live with it, but there is no logical reason to wish for it. I do not believe in normality, but I still would not wish for someone to be so different and have to live so conflicted.

Finally, to all who wish to be bitten and "changed", please just ask yourself this one question: why do you want to be a werewolf? Tell me honestly that you think you have a good reason for changing what you are; one that it is actually worthwhile and not some selfish desire to change yourself because you cannot deal with your own problems in life. If you think you have a good and justified answer to this, then feel free to say it.

I agree with everything you said it's completely right people just want to become werewolves selfish reasons

And you're right being one is not easy being so different is everything you want to keep quiet and to yourself because you don't understand how other people think however I still do not deny what iron
and I wouldn't change it even though it's been hard but people want it for selfish reasons thinking they're going to be so cool and strong and good girlfriend when in reality it will make them a loner and and a splinter from the rest of the world

You may not care about acceptance, AtheistWolf, but that does not take away from its importance. We are social animals, humans and wolves, and so we cannot afford to avoid other people. There may be people who do not like you or even hate you, but swearing off contact with people is like swearing off water because you got some that tasted bad or was contaminated. There are people who do not like me here or in other places. That does not stop me from doing what I do. The important thing is to ignore those who seek only to hurt you. Otherwise, it is only a waste of your time. In our particular case, being the case of werewolves, we definitely cannot afford to avoid acceptance. A lack of acceptance is precisely our problem. If you, personally, do not care about interaction with other people, that is your choice. However, for those who are mature enough to recognize the importance of social contact and acceptance, such avoidance is counter-productive.

I don't avoid social situations I simply say it's weak to expect everyone to accept you and people are Normally annoying af and not as open and blunt as me.

It is not weak, it is ignorant. Ignorance is not a crime, but it can have negative repercussions. And your statement of "fuck" other people gave me the impression that you try to avoid them. You may want to be more clear if that is not what you want to get across.
