How did you come to terms with who you are?

I do not struggle to accept it or didn't ever "come to terms" with it. Why should I? It's just is as it is, and It's beautiful and fantastic! I embrace it everytime I look at a beautiful dog, everytime I gently pet her or lick her pussy.
Feeling a sexual attraction to dogs is the most natural thing for me
 
It was a struggle at first. I became aware of my attractions at a fairly young age, and living in a very rural, Christian conservative area, it was pretty ingrained in me that what I was feeling was "unnatural" and not acceptable, even though it felt completely natural and right to me. Despite a lot of guilt, those feelings only intensified with time to the point where I realized it was genuinely a part of who I am. It wasn't until I actually started talking to and meeting other people like me where I was able to fully accept myself. Plus, going to therapy helped a ton, and I have been really fortunate to work with a therapist who knows my attractions and approached it with empathy and curiosity.
 
I grew up around animals of all kinds.
When these kinds of thoughts and feeling have been persistent for longer than any sexuality,
I eventually had to just stubbornly accept this is something that is a core of me,
and there is no reason to have it make me think less of myself.
The freedom I felt when I finally accepted it was great, it was like a weight lifted off my shoulders.
Now I just want to make up for the lost time :p

Through this journey, I have learned that accepting one's beastiality side requires understanding and compassion towards oneself as well as others. It's not a matter of either embracing or rejecting one's desires but rather finding healthy ways to integrate them into your life.
 
I always loved animals ( non sexually) growing up and I do think I have so much to learn from them. Acceptance of being zoo has been a journey for me and it was not easy at all. But eventually I accepted that my sexuality around them is an extension of my love towards them. While, there are popular views on the morality , animal instinct etc, in my opinion there is a bond which surpasses the known perceptions.

I can relate to the 'weight off the shoulders' comment, It has to be experienced to know I beleive just like everything else. I hope you are making up for the lost time
 
It was a mixture of drugs, sex, self reflection and later on plain old life experience.
 
Being an old fart, I never had a problem. I just accept who I am. I like dogs. I am attracted to Females of all species. Right now the species I am attracted to are canine and Human. I am more attracted to my dog. I don't have to worry about I I will piss her off, if I criticize her. I have mostly trained her to be good in public. She acts more like a service dog than as a pet.
 
me personally , no i never struggled with it because its just who i am , its not something i can change . i mean thats like asking black folks how they came to terms with their being black , or gay folks , or hell asking your dog how they came to terms with being a dog , we are who we are meant to be , nothing really to come to terms with .

i think I’ve always had these sorts of thoughts but I didn’t pay it much mind until a few years ago when the “Pokémon smash or pass” discourse was happening. Then when everyone was talking about what fictional animals they want to smash it got me thinking about some actual ones… aaaand that’s how I got here :)
 
Buried it so deep until that itch inside me would explode and id indulge in some guilty pleasure zoo porn viewing. Then bury it so deep and pretend id not so easily got myself to cum over that stuff.
Tough cycle mentally. Much shame and anxiety over it my urges I couldn’t control.

One day, in the depths of a random zoo video site I clicked a link that lead me here. Honestly within 24 hours of absorbing all this information and all these people openly expressing their love and enjoyment for this life, fixed it completely. I wasn’t alone, there were people right around the corner just like me. The shame and anxiety disappeared.
Thank god for this place 🤩
 
I found a very understanding and supportive partner who encouraged me not to define myself by what others think is right. No one can tell you who or what you are attracted to/ what makes you happy. Let go of societal norms and just be you
 
I never really struggled, i had a friend introduce me into it, i also am not really the judgemental type, i accepted alot of parts of myself already like how I'm fat and pretty unattractive in body and dick lol, the hardest step of accepting yourself is the first looking at yourself inward,
 
You, as a you, are as much of an identity, to some, but it can be an ideatic construction based on your username or a facet of yourself, or other concepts, but you need to stare at it, with respect, detachment and avoid incurring in shame's favourite reaction, reasoning itself, you can be ashamed of a facet or aspect, you need not be ashamed of your whole being, one can only do their best to live with that, I suppose.
 
As with everything I've ever struggled to accept about myself, what made me come to terms with it was realizing that I could not change it, no matter how hard I tried. I could not resent myself forever, I couldn't hate the parts of myself that I didn't want to accept because that's what I thought society wanted from me. No matter how hard I tried to deny my attractions, that didn't change the fact that I've always had that attraction, and I've always liked having it. I never wanted it to go away because it was all I knew.

At some point, you have to learn to live for yourself. To find your own truth. You need to realize what your mutable and immutable traits are. If it's an immutable trait, you need to learn how to accept it. If it's mutable, then you evaluate and be better. Society wants you to believe that you can change everything about yourself, that nothing is absolute. Even if it means suppressing yourself and being miserable, training yourself to get used to the misery and growing numb is considered more "pure" and morally correct than being happy and not harming any living creature in the process.

I came to terms with mine when I found out I wasn’t alone. Places like this where I can share without judgement and be honest about that side of my sexuality. I still haven’t been able to share this part of me with anyone in my life yet. Online in very very few places
 
I came in terms with myself when I realized, that this isn't actually harming anyone. People tend to be hateful towards strange things because of the fear; they fear how those things can harm others or surroundings. I think as long as no one is suffering, it's okay. And me being like this isn't harming anyone or anything, as long as I remember to be respectful and kind to me and others.
That's it! And it also helps that I don't actually need anyone's approval to who I can or can't be.
