How did you become furry?
Or at least learn to attach that label to your interests? For a long time I could remember how I became furry myself but recently it came flooding back to me.
As a kid , I always daydreamed of being a dog or game characters like Yoshi and later Pikachu to what could probably be called an excessive extent. I'm remember drawing anthro Pikachu versions of myself in MS Paint but I still didn't know what that was, I just called them PikaPeople.
Then one day I was looking on this video game MIDI site and I found a really good MIDI Ska remix of Bust - A-Move by Cuddly Battleship Kattywampus. It was awesome and I wanted to find more so I went to her website that was listed in the MIDI file. I don't remember if her site actually had anything about furry on it or if it just led me to there from a link, but either way I found furry from there and then later things like Furcadia and VCL and stuff.
So how about you? What's your origin story?

Realizing I'm a furry
Hi r/furry! This is my first post and I wanted to introduce myself. I recently realized I am a furry and want to meet like minded creatures.
I've always had an interest in animals and animal costumes. I never really thought too much of it and never felt like expressing it to others, especially in high school when social rejection is feared so much.
I went to college to study music. I am a classical musician and love composing as well! During school I was so absorbed with the music of the past I basically fell out of pop culture for a couple years. I recently have moved to a small city in California and my life has changed dramatically.
I identify as a wolf and also have a strong connection with horses. I go riding as much as I can and love all things equestrian. I don't really know anyone else with my interests (I'm aware they are strange) and I decided to make a fursona and meet and chat with other furries!
I discovered the furry subculture recently and am really into it. It's helping me with issues in my life (depression and anxiety of social acceptance.) I have many questions though since I don't know any furries in real life and hope to chat!
Thanks for reading my rambles.

A simple question from the uninformed;
Basically, I've had a curiosity for a long time. A friend of mine is a furry, and when I first developed an interest, he gave me a few places to check out. At the time I wasn't interested, but as time went on, the curiosity came back. I can't say I would dive headlong into the fandom, like fursuit and all but the RP and the art and a lot of other things just have my attention.
My question is, if that's the part I want to start off with and explore more into it, where do I get started? What if in my mind I don't identify as "furry" but I still enjoy certain parts of it?
Sorry if I sound stupid; I'm just really confused.

One misbehaving attendee can ruin a convention for everyone. Just look at what happened to Oklacon. Or the latest news about RainFurrest.
Furries, we have to be on our best behavior when we are in public. We have to remember our surroundings and take care not to do something that will hurt others. Most of you are considerate, no problem, but all it takes is one moment of indiscretion.
Be careful.

Accidentally Showed Someone I'm a Fur
Before I start, I'm gonna say that even though this didn't go the best, it could have gone a lot worse. And our table group dynamic is still stable and very much unchanged, so that's good.
So today I was at lunch and was remembered something one of you guys showed me. On of you beautiful fuzzbutts showed me Rob Gasser's FA, which led me to find this beauty. (Pretend the battery is higher and that it says 11:4x, I took this screenshot later in the day)
So I showed like two of the girls that screen and got some funny reactions. I joked that it was "The best picture ever" or something like that. So then I went to show it to one of the guys at the table and here's what happened:
Me: Look at this beautiful picture.
Him: Damn furries. Why are you on furaffinity?
Me: Cuz I just am.
Him: Are you a furry?
Me: Well yeah, but that's not important. Has hands on notebook with fuzzy wuzzy story in it
Him:...
Him mockingly (quizzaciously, hue hue hue): e621?
Me: No!
Him: e621?
Me: No, stop. snaps fingers and points at him
After that we didn't really bring it up again, though that was in the span of about 17 minutes. Nobody else said anything, but our table is mostly weebs/otaku (including me to some extent), so I think I'm good. I'm curious as to how he even knows what e621 is, as I only learned of it recently, despite being in the fandom for ~3 years.
On another note, the Anime Society (anime club) at my school asked for Deviantart accounts, so I put my furry, and only, account down, but I put (pls don't visit, 'tis very furry) next to it XD.

I did a thing...i dont why but i did.
So that one dude from my post about those 2 people that found out about my secret life as a furry (the one that was cool with it) has probably lost his social life. In the conversation we had after i showed my backgrounds he at one point said "i would be a furry." to which i replied "then why arent you?" He didnt really reply to it after that and we went on talking about other things. Today in chemistry he told me that he couldnt decide on an animal. That caught me off guard because he never mentioned anything about becoming a furry after the incident. So i get home and start talking to him and im trying to help him decide what animal he wants and i just ask him "so im guessing that you have already decided to join the fandom?" He replied with a yes. This happened just about 7 minutes ago.
So basically i made one of my normal friends into a furry ( the fandom will now consume his life which is why i said he will lose his social life).

Hello! (Semi)new member here!
Hello everyone! I've been here for a few days now, and I decided to finally introduce myself. My 'sona is a red wolf named Badge, and my hobbies include playing music and playing video games. I'm normally an introvert, but something about the friendliness of the people on here make me want to be sociable. Anyway, I just wanted to say hi to all you beautiful people!
