I've seen a lot of posts go live here recently to the effect of "I'm sad and need someone to talk to," and you guys are all lovely for posting and responding to so many of these. It's really part of what makes our lovely community so lovely, so thank you all <3

But that's not what I wanted to say. I wanted to say, to ALL of you, if you're ever sad, down, or just need someone to talk to, my inbox is always open, no exceptions. I might not respond right away, but I really do love helping people and I'd love to help you if you need it. There are so many fantastic people here and I hate to see even a single one sad, so please, do not hesitate to send me a message

Love you all, and have a great night! <3

I'm curious about this. I don't think I'm the only one. But how many people are tired of the general attitude of the sub? From the overbearing positivity (I.E.telling an artist they're commission ready despite the anatomy work they need) to the borderline stupid posts (Title:" I just want to say" Body: "youre all adorable! ^ snuggles) to the downright silly posts (I.E. /Gives you a mini version of yourself/*). And on top of all that you can't have negative opinions here. I once tried to make an opinion based post on what people thought was over the top and most replies were variations of the "To each their own" sentiment.

I'd love to hear about others' fursuit experience

Today, my awesome SO dropped the word furry into our casual conversation. We've been together for just over 2 years and it's the first time she's used the word. I'm a furry and I've slowly been introducing her to the concepts and the fact that I pretend to be a 6'3 anthro black cat on the internet for fun. I'd been wondering whether I should ever bring it up with her and, then, how actually to go about it, seeing as it's not something I normally talk about with my irl friends (I'm the only furry I know, irl, which doesn't help), so I paused the conversation we were having and asked her what she thought of furries. To my surprise she loves the whole thing! I suggested she got an animal avatar (a cute, adorable, little red panda) a few months ago and she took to it enthusiastically, but it wasn't much more than a simple animal icon at first. However, now, she's slowly transformed the simple idea into her own unique character. I got some artwork commissioned with her character in it and she loved it! I'm currently away from her, atm, visiting my parents, but, when I get back, she wants to explore the entirety of the fandom to see exactly what we're all about! I'm over the moon that she's more than just accepting of the concept, but all for it! I can't wait to see what she thinks of the fandom as a whole, but I have no idea where to start on the grand tour.

I was wondering if any else had similar or contrasting stories about their loved ones and how they reacted to you being a furry or if you've ever introduced someone into the fandom before.

Thanks for reading my wall of text _/

I'm still trying to figure it out for myself. But I know I barely fit in with you guys. I'm not the cuddly type. I know there's a lot more to it, but there's a lot more to why I'm feeling like I don't identify as a furry. It's almost been a year now and I'm starting to get bored of it. I'm gonna stop there cause I don't need to bore you with the pages of stuff I have written down in my journal. I just want to ask you guys a question.

"Have you ever seen anybody put down furries for good?"

I would ask if anybody HERE had done it.. But if you were here.. Well you didn't really step away from it for good and those are the answers I'm looking for.
