The explosion of otherkin groups and the spread of this beliefs is due in number of small part with the accessibilty of the Internet, allowing these groups to congregate and exchange ideas. Otherkins believe themself to be things that don't even exists.





Each of these otherkins types undergoes a process that is often called called an Awakening. this awakening, according to several otherkins sources is a process that brings about a spiritual transformation of the individuals, taking them from their 'mundane' life and connecting, or in some cases reconnecting them with their"other"selves and all of the attributes associated with it.





It is much debated as to the substance of this sub-culture believe, as well as the mental stability of those who hold this believe. Otherkins differ from furres(although not by much) in furries like to dress up and pretend, while otherkins belief they really are non-human and don't usually dress up.
