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.

i'm just wondering how real p-shifting is. i really want to be able to do it, but i don't know if it's something that's real, feasible and worth my time working towards, or if it's not.
i guess something that would help is some sort of proof that it's been done before. if it genuinely has, i absolutely want to get going on my own journey.
and i'm not saying it's impossible, but i just want to learn how possible it is and if current methods lead to genuine results. thanks!
OH OKAY, let me help you a bit fellow anon.
Honestly im not sure how exactly to affirm if it's real or not. I've had evidence such as growing fur strands, half shifting in my sleep, and even learning recently that when I was very little I had p-shifted before. That's just me, I've been a shifter for a long time and eventually came to this through WAY TOO MUCH exploring and asking myself hard questions.
Usually though, the best thing I can tell any curious individual is to just... go through the very first step of being a shifter. Its incredibly helpful, and will answer the majority of present questions at the beginning stage. If you want more details on this I will gladly do a follow-up, but currently I still have to collect and get my facts straight about this first step. More developed guides (such as phenexus weyr and even blaze's guide to shifting) will be much more helpful then what i have to say. Perhaps I'll have a guide to give one day too after all of this 💀
I can tell you though to just go for it. Not start p-shifting i mean, you wont be able to do so for a long time if you eventually figure out you are a p-shifter. Its better to know by exploring instead of just never trying because you are afraid of it not being real.
P-shifting is only a tiny part of being a shifter (as I've said over and over again lol) but similar to theirans our identities live on within us our whole lives. It's just keeping a healthy balance of understanding where you are at and that, usually, you might not be a p-shifter at all and that's OKAY.
Sorry I like talking. Perhaps that could help you a bit if you decide to begin your journey.
REGARDLESS.
i would honestly also love good evidence (images, videos, etc.) of p-shifting actually happening because of the methods that exist. (Disclaimer methods aren't "rituals" that are 100% guaranteed to give you results, they are only building blocks to help you develop your own style when you decide to voluntarily shift)
Ive had to realize that 1.) There is a whole community around it, from all walks of life and information, which gathered to give us the information we have today because they all experienced similar things too. 2.) time and time again there have been stories, from history all the way to now, where people have shifted into creatures and animals constantly. 3.) In truth you find your own evidence eventually, within yourself weirdly enough.
I can't speak for everyone (hell naw) but for me I eventually came to a point where i no longer needed to see from others that p-shifting was real, I knew it was real through my own evidence and experiences. Shifting involves a lot about connecting the dots tbh, sometimes it can take a hot minute to make the right dots connect.
If there is physical evidence out there, nowadays it's so incredibly targeted and never given a chance to believe. Like, honestly, tech is so good nowadays there is no way actual physical evidence could exist within the community anymore.
What im basically trying to say is that although physical evidence can help, at the end of the day you have to find it within yourself to see as true. Nobody can really convince you to believe otherwise 🤷
Thank you for sending the anon, and if you read this and want any more help or expansion on anything, please let me know and I'll be happy to expand. I'll probably stick around for a little longer to answer anything else anyone may want to ask.

Lol please don't mistake me for being part of First Family Pack or as someone looking to "turn" or convert others. I have no affiliations (past or present) with the pack, and I strongly condemn (and call out) most people who try to claim they can turn others.
...
Much of the shifter community holds to genetic ideas of shifters because we know genes and heredity exist. Magic and spirituality are not scientifically verified, and we know it's not a virus because everyone would be able to shift if that were the case. It is also extremely dangerous to imply someone can become a shifter, because then we have people getting into dangerous cult situations similar to the ones everyone worries about.
However, I 100% agree with the message towards delusional alterhumans. If you experience clinical delusions or mental illness of the lycanthropic kind, please avoid seeking out companionship in the shifter community. What shifters can do you cannot, and you're likely to get yourselves hurt.

Pshifter culture is being scared you're crazy despite knowing you're not due to your real experiences but others doubt you do much

schizophrenic p-shifter culture is knowing that you would be considered clinical particularly/especially by people outside of other p-shifters (and having thought you were clinical yourself for a time), and so feeling like you have to put up clarification after excess clarification to make sure anybody who looks at your blog knows for absolute certain that (A) you know you would be considered clinical by most others, (B) you reject being considered clinical in any fashion, and (C) your experiences are real, and sure they can think whatever they want, but that doesn't make your experiences any less real and your beliefs any less true (and besides, how in the hell is forcing the clinical label on people who reject it supposed to help delusional folks? seems to me like you're just doing more harm than good)

Pshifter culture is having to walk on eggshells around alterhumans and otherkin because if you say you're a shifter, you are going to get fakeclaimed.

P shifter culture is not wanting to give disclaimers about being endel every time i talk about transforming even if externally that s what we are to people but being too afraid of being guillotined and labeled as evil or incapable of discernment due to what psychiatric labels are given to us.
It's wanting to use the p shifter label but being too averse to conflict to express yourself with what label you want.

P-shifter culture is when you sit back and realize in those little moments that you feel this deep connection with yourself and the earth, feeling completely immersed in who you are meant to be.

Uh, nonhumans of the internet? Can some of the adults stop trying to "mentor" or "guide" the younger members of these communities? Especially if they're minors or otherwise inexperienced online, I don't think it's healthy to want to guide members like this. I've seen this in therian and otherkin communities especially, but seeing as how some of those cross over to shifter packs eventually, I feel a PSA is necessary. If a young one comes up to you and wants some help, that's one thing (and that need shouldn't be taken advantage of) but it's another to require mentorship or an adult to access information on shifting or other tips. You are not their guardian, you are not their parent, you shouldn't be taking responsibility for them, and putting them in the hands of another adult is asking for trouble.
This isn't to say that a mentor-apprentice relationship is doomed to fail, but over the internet... a lot of creepy people reside there, and I don't trust many people to have a non-creepy relationship with minors they're put directly in charge of. If you're a minor in a mentor-apprentice relationship it may be healthy, but keep an eye out for any unhealthy dynamics. And if you're an adult in the community doing this, stop enforcing unhealthy power dynamics. Teach members, provide knowledge for all and inform those who ask for help, but don't personally put adult strangers in charge of minors.

Shifting Being Genetic =/= White Supremacy
Also, a major FYI (since I saw that post in the tags and I've never been more astounded in my life) saying you're a p-shifter due to genetics does not equal antisemitism and white supremacy. There are MANY POC shifters in the community, for one. I'm one, I know of a few natives and I've seen many black people in the community, we're by no means a white based community. Something being genetic does not inherently equal white supremacy, otherwise you need to inform all those people with genetic conditions that they're participating in white supremacy.
When you do see shifters saying "I'm biologically superior" it's usually because they're:
young and think being a shifter is cool (this is the same thing young therians and otherkin might do, they make what they are into a special thing and act like they're mightier than humans)
Not shifters at all and are roleplayers goofing around (in which case you'll also see claims of being able to turn people and do unnatural feats like survive shootings)
Cultists, in which case they often want money or power, not necessarily to brainwash you into white supremacy? (I'm not saying that it can never happen, but that's usually not their intent)
Shifting is genetic because as far as we know, turning is a myth: you can't be bitten-that was a modern movie creation, subliminals don't change the genetics of a person, and if everyone could shift or had the potential to most humans would have unlocked it by now, and/or shifting wouldn't be a controversial subject.
tl;dr the vast, vast majority of shifters are not trying to lead you down the alt-right white supremacy pipeline, if someone is, it's because they're a white supremacist and not because they're a genetic p-shifter.

I’ve seen otherkin and therians say that just the idea of physical shifting is bad, because when someone fails to do it they will develop a complex and be upset because they can’t physically transform. They’ll be upset and disappointed, and feel bad around other shifters.  The thing is, there’s nothing wrong with being human, and nothing wrong with not being a shifter. I mean that wholeheartedly, and in fact there’s nothing wrong with not being able to do what others can. I cannot cameo shift, aura shift, etc. but that does not make the idea of therianthropy bad by any means. I cannot sprint as fast as some people, I will never be a good gymnast or an Olympic wrestler (even though I want to be those things!) and that’s okay. This doesn’t make those things bad, it just makes my situation different. And hey, I can find people who feel the same and maybe we can find our own ways to live out our dreams.
If someone is bullying you because you can’t do the same things they can or because you’re human, that’s wrong and they should be told off for it. But not being able to do those things, only being human, isn’t inherently bad. 
I do feel that if someone has species dysphoria that is causing them to turn to shifting and even pushing them towards borderline harming themselves or others to transform, at that point you are dealing with a mental disorder that needs treatment. Shifting is not something a person decides to do one day for fun or even due to dysphoria, it’s something that happens to you, something that you’re born with. If you’re chasing after shifters and believing everyone you meet (because even then not all shifters are legitimate or disseminate proper info) just because you desperately want to become an animal, then like any other condition you need to find appropriate help and/or healthy outlets for it. 
(And I’m not saying the above to be condescending or pathologizing either, but if you’re literally ending up in dangerous situations because you need to change your form you do need help. Therianthropy and otherkinity is an identity and can come with no dysphoria or varying amounts, but like anything else, harmful and endangering behavior stemming from dysphoria shouldn’t be entertained.)
In short, if you enter the shifter community and hope to shift, only to find that you’re only human, that is okay. If you discover you’re not human but something else, that is okay. There are plenty of mixed supernatural spaces, spaces that allow humans and welcome them, spaces that don’t care what species you are as long as you’re honest. Being human isn’t a bad thing, and not being able to shift isn’t a bad thing. Be who you are :)
