Be forewarned that I can''t claim to speak for anyone but myself on this one. Everyone''s story is different.

I grew up for over a decade as a human, came to realize gradually that I wasn''t normal, came to realize that draconity explained that lack of normality very well, and gathered evidence and experiences for many years before I came to the conclusion that being a dragon was the only explanation that made sense in a self-consistent way.

A more detailed version of the story (and a self-analysis) are at http://www.draconity.com/faq/history.html. Happy reading, and best wishes in your continued encounters with draconity!
