Is it normal that i have a wolf-like personality?
I've always loved wolves, they're my favored animal and I have a certain kinship feeling when I see them at a zoo or watch documentaries about them. Now I know, there are tens of thousands of people out there that probably love wolves just as much as I do, but it feels different. I act like one, not just as a joke, but I feel like when I act "wolfish" that its right and it makes sense for me. Growling and baring my teeth at people I don't like, nuzzling and softly biting my friends and family to show affection. There are moments that I have put my teeth to a friend's throat and snarled when they do something that upsets me, and once in a while pinning them in domination. They don't mind so much, they know I like wolves. But some people don't understand, think that my touching them is weird. I tend to do that, brushing against people and touching them like a wolf would among it's pack, and it feels fine to me, though most people are creeped out by it. I have this pulling feeling, standing out in the forest and sniffing the air feels right, padding down trails and even marking territory by pissing feels natural too (I stop doing this as soon as I come back to the city, people wouldn't be so forgiving if I started pissing on sidewalk corners.) When I look up at the sky and howl, my sound isn't just a sound but a song, it means something. I howl often to show what I'm feeling. I make sounds in my throat to show displeasure. When I walk, I imagine a tail swaying behind me, and it raising or lowering depending on who I'm nearby, or wagging when I greet someone I like. When I hear things, I can almost feel my ears turning as they would if I were a wolf to catch the sound. Smelling people is another thing too, I recognize someone by their scent and remember it. It's a big part of meeting people for me, as it would be for a wolf. I know this is probably not normal, but is there any explanation for it? Or am I just weird.
