Most of what we feel we feel through emotions. It's really hard to put into words how you convert a written and spoken word/phrase/paragraph, into an unspoken language. Find an emotion that you can attach to whatever it is you're trying to ask, I've found that it has a tendency to somewhat boost it's effectivity in a sense.

For some it's harder than others. I believe the reason it may be hard for you is because you're still trying to find a logical reason to the answers and method you're searching for. You can't "think" about it. It helps to meditate before you try this, to clear the mind and focus on that emotion and then somewhat plant that question with that emotion and pound that emotion/question into whatever or wherever.

Everyone should analyze and question, poke and prod everything and anything that comes from the subconscious. The trick is to know how far to push it. Not analyzing a supposed answer can lead to self delusion. Over analyzing can lead to crushing self-doubt.
This is why self exploration is something that takes time and can be so radically different for each person who undertakes it. There isn't a checklist of questions to ask yourself that will lead you to the "correct" answers. There isn't a set of specific methods or techniques that will work for everyone every time. The whole process is extremely subjective.
The best advice is simply to listen to your instincts and you inner "bullshit" meter. If you encounter something that has every instinct screaming "YES! THAT'S RIGHT" then accept it regardless of logic telling you it can't be. But if you encounter something that you would desperately love to be true yet you can't get your inner BS alarms to stop sounding off then reject it. because just because we want something to be true, doesn't automatically make it so.
And every couple of years, take everything you have accepted as true and re-examine it. See if it still rings as true today as it did last week or last month or last year... or last decade. One thing that is common for most if not all otherkin is our views of who and what we are constantly evolves as we grow and learn more about our various pasts. Sometimes there are simply minor tweaks to our self image. Sometimes there are extensive and radical changes. That doesn't mean we were making stuff up or lying to ourselves, it just means we did the best we could with the information we had at the time. Should that information change or be superseded by new information we have to be honest enough with ourselves to re-evaluate our beliefs to incorporate the new information.
If you are just starting the path of self exploration, you have a long row to hoe as my dad used to say. But I think you'll find what grows from the seeds you have planted will be well worth the effort.

I only suggested you attach an emotion to the questions you ask is that it seems that with me that I get more definitive answers. But just like JKarrah said. You can't over-anylize because you'll just keep running into dead ends.
And as I said earlier, to ask a question without using a written or spoken language is almost impossible for the human brain to comprehend. Which is why it's so hard to do this because almost everyone that tries, tries thinking out the answers when you should be waiting for them.
I also don't suggest you use anger as a means of interpretting your question and possible answers. Perhaps something like despiration, hope, joy, calmness. Again mediation helps in this.
What I have been suggesting to you of late is simply what I have found to be effective for me. I believe I may have discovered a way to communicate my thoughts to whatever may present us our answers of otherkindship. And interpretting the answers....I havene't been able to interpret them completely. It's beyond hard to turn something that has no words into something that the human brain can understand.

Because you're still trying to use words with your questions. I don't know of much more that I can suggest that'll help you. Unfortunately all I can say as of now is to keep trying. Don't think about it and just do it. It's the human thought process that blocks off our abilities to anylize life's most pressing questions, and finding answers all the more difficult.
