My Draconity has been a psychologically detrimental, spiritually hectic and overall long and stressful journey, but it is a part of who I am, and as a result I know myself better and have become a stronger person. I have also learned that draconity is not for everyone, it is not simply a game, or a mask that you wear, it is a state of inner being, you cannot simply choose to be an otherkin, you either are or you are not, and the experiences that one will face through draconity are a mixed blessing at best with positives and negatives, but in the end ones reward is the knowing of ones true inner spirit.
I can only be myself, and I am a dragon in mind and spirit. It was only in the realization and acceptance of the fact that I was a dragon in spirit and in mind that I was able to achieve the peace and balance that I was missing from my life. It was as if a missing piece to the puzzle of who I was had been found and things finally begun to make sense.
So, yeah it is a personal spiritual belief system with meaning to the individual, it isn't just some role play escapism or psychological malfunction, although I am sure there is the rare and highly publicized case in which it is, the majority of otherkin are introverted but overall fun individuals, heavily involved in philosophical debates, metaphysical studies, creative activities and live typical social and economical lives off the Internet.
We're just normal people with odd or different beliefs. We don't do it for attention, or to escape reality, it's not some game like second life, to us, it is personal, it is who we are.
