Okay so story time because I haven't seen a storytime yet and I wanted to share.
Lately I've been getting more and more p-flares, (physical flares) and it's very interesting because it feels like fur is trying to sprout out of my back.
Ive checked to make sure im not getting a rash or something, there just isn't anything there. (It just started up one day and then went away, writing this out it keeps coming back but over my collarbone.)
In the past I used to freak out when I got any aches or pains but in truth that had nothing to do with my nonhuman self... I'm very cautious about deciding something is physical symptoms or not I don't like getting my hopes up over any ache or prickle you know.
And it's interesting because for most of the time I've been p-shifting, Yada Yada Yada, the physical aspect of my whole journey has been slowly increasing as I get closer to my fourth year of shifting.
I've already shared this with a few people, but I wanted to share this here too because it's pretty cool to me ^^
Yeah so thats all I just felt like sharing! I know I didn't start with "P-shifting culture is" oops

hi! not a culture ask, just a question.
what exactly is physical shifting? i havent really seen many resources on what it means & im a lil curious :]
Since this is a genuine question that is important to answer for this account, we will answer. Please note we are talking about those who are p-shifters from the community (such as with packs, and the influential people such as Blaze and Leah.) Not those who are reclaiming the label.
Of course, anyone who uses the label is welcome, but we cannot speak for others who havent grown to know they were p-shifters specifically from being within the community. We hope that specifies what we mean better.
Physical shifting, or p-shifting, is the ability to physically transform into a creature or animal. Usually, those who p-shift are wolves, but the reason is unbeknownst to all of us for why that is.
We will not get into the nuances of it, but a community has been built around this idea and trying to understand why this phenomenon happens to us (As a whole). P-shifting and the community are incredibly intertwined in understanding what it is, hence why we mention the community here a bit also.
It is simply something that people are able to do, and the community over the years has built a database of information in an attempt to help those who suspect they are one to help them along in discoveries and attempts.
P-shifting, as far as we have experienced and read, is something that encompasses very little of our experiences but is important to our community nonetheless. (Although it isn't mentioned as much anymore within the community.) It is told to be incredibly painful, and is usually said to only happen after a list of conditions is met. (which, also varies depending on who you talk to.)
There isn't a set *exact* definition to what physical shifting is, but we hope this can help any who are curious to understand physical shifting a bit more.
Overall, it is the ability to change your form into that of a creature or animal. It is being reclaimed more often within the nonhuman community for those who are expressing themselves to quite literally change into an animal.
It is a nuanced topic with many years of development behind it, and we cannot give a good explanation to what it is *exactly* like. We hope this has been sufficient enough to answer your question.

Introduction
We are p-shifting confessions. We are just like your other confession blogs, except it handles p-shifters and of the like.
We will not post anything other than these confessions, and perhaps a few other things.
Please only use ANON to send us confessions. This will keep you safe, and we will not post your confession if it isn't.
Share your stories, ideas, thoughts, anything you might be afraid to say on your own blog. All with good intentions are safe here!
If you are clinical, sensitive to p-shifting, or triggered by it, *please block this blog.*
FAQ below cut.
Thanks for reading the intro, and happy confessing!
Can they teach me to p-shift?
Hell nah. That's personal to you, and you can only figure that out. Please do not message us for this, we will delete it and block you.
How do I put in a confession?
Set it to anon first of all! Then begin your confession with "p-shifting/p-shifter culture is..." and then say whatever you would like to say! Please, only send things related to your nonhumanity/p-shifting.
What isnt okay to send in?
Hate, methods, asking how to p-shift, misanthropy with action that is going to be behind it (harming other humans, etc.), self harm (we are triggered by it), discourse of any sort from the past / present within the community, your opinion on how horrible p-shifting is, and images of any type. All of these will be deleted, along with if your ask isn't anon.
Why does this blog exist?
Well, we just felt like making a blog to allow others to share p-shifting confessions. There's a lot of stigma around p-shifters, and we hope that seeing a glimpse into our lives can help dissolve the hate and witchhunting.
Does this enable abusive p-shifters?
Of course not. This is a positivity blog for p-shifters, and we only allow people with good intentions to be here / share their experiences. We do not allow or think that people who claim to be p-shifters AND are using this to abuse/manipulate others should be given a safe place. We will not teach p-shifting. Do not expect us to allow others looking to become p-shifters to enable them. Being a p-shifter is incredibly personal and cannot be taught. We fiercely believe in learning your own path and abandoning the idea that there is a set method that works for everyone to shift to. As always, every community has abusive, or manipulative people, but not every single person in that community is abusive.
Do they support _______ ?
We prefer to stay out of the discourse that exists anywhere on the internet. Our opinions on the matters outside of this blog do not matter to this blog, please do not ask us to if we are pro or anti of anything.
Obviously, this is a support page for p-shifters. That is all that is required for you to know, and they will not cover any other topics that don't relate to p-shifting.
Tags?
#P-shift culture is: Informational to cover more on what p-shifting is or might mean.
#_____ confession: ID number for each confession. Uses the word, not the letter. (Ex. first, second, etc.)
#P-shift(ing/er) culture is: Usually just identifies what the ask started with.
(More may be added as we may see fit.)
Who runs this blog?
One person only, who goes by 🐌🐾. They use we/they/it pronouns. They are a feline p-shifter. We may consider allowing others to join the team, but for now one person is sufficient.
We are not plural, nor endo. We simply prefer these pronouns.
