Less Online Friendships & Not Going to Anymore Cons
6 months ago
I am just leaning more towards making real life friends more because I don’t trust very many online people, especially from the furry community. When I was little, I mostly played by myself with little things like Matchbox cars because my Mom and I didn’t have internet yet. I didn’t worry about politics (with the exception of 9/11) because I was in my own little fantasy world and being separated from all the evil that is going on. I wish I were a little boy again when times were more wholesome. I am done with going to Anthrocon indefinitely because one, it’s full of weirdos (not all, but many) who do inappropriate stuff in hotel rooms and two, it’s going full-on cashless.
I also don’t even trust using dating apps because of all the catfishing that’s going on. I really would love to dress up as my characters, but I am focusing on more train stuff at the moment. However, I am still drawing my characters as my current escape from reality and I haven’t let anyone tell me any different for five years now.

As for me, I'm fine with who I have, But I wish you the best man in finding what makes you smile.
And the way so many people obsess over politics and get mad if you don't want to talk about it... It's just messed up man.
Sorry if it feels like I'm making it about me, I'm not trying to. I'm just trying to let you know you're not alone. I really hope that things get better soon for you 🫂
The furry community has gone mainstream even to the point of having funky, horny ass t-shirts being sold at Spencer's in my local mall. I would like to continue posting inflatable anthro planes in speedos which I will do, but I'm not the one to be popped in real life because I know what a lot of these toxic people will do. I cannot call myself a "furry" or not even an "aeromorph" at this moment because I want to separate myself from everyone else because I don't have the hyper sexualized, nonsensical, "lame-stream" views.
And that's good! I still love your art ^^ The last thing I need is anyone linking me online to me irl, that's a pretty big fear of mine actually.
Yep, I haven't called myself a "furry" for a long time. And I feel very similar about the Transformers community ARGHHHH
I'm too obsessed with thick, beefy guys for their liking, they all like dual-genitals fetish stuff too and I can't stand that. Sometimes it feels like there just isn't a place for gay/bara stuff in Transformers, and that's why I like the aeromorph and living machines side, they're a bit more receptive to that. However they have a lot of the same problems and overall toxicity that the wider furry community has so I just feel like I don't belong anywhere about half the time. I'm not sure if that's what you're going through or not, but I can absolutely understand where you're coming from there
And honestly I feel kinda hypocritical because I mostly post nsfw stuff but get kinda sick of the attitudes of the wider furry community. I wonder if that's where the TF fans' "our fanon is god and if you don't agree with it you don't belong here" mentality comes from, since I've noticed a lot of that happening amongst different species communities.
Parasocial has its advantages, but there's nothing like the real deal.
And... no sane person uses dating apps to begin with.
I've learned that some people aren't who they say they are online, not just on FA, but on any other site. I've been a member of FA for a little over a year and have already had to end a few online relationships with others (one of them even used a fake account to interact with me). I think that one can only truly know and love the person through honesty of self and transparency of communication. If there's inadequacy in these, then the relationship will fail.
Also, I'm not into furry conventions as I'm just here to post my art and stories. I prefer racetracks, car shows and air shows.
I hope you make long and prosperous friendships with people who have similar interests and connections as you. Take care!
From your words I understood that you are more withdrawn, that is, you limit yourself, and this is not very good, but the fact that you make friends in life is commendable, your creativity is impeccable and I am your fan. I also noticed that you do not like furries, yes, they are strange, you just do not focus on this and live for pleasure, but if you do not like it, why put up with it? Just do not communicate with those who like it
Trains are a good thing, I work as a driver myself and I know how difficult and dangerous it is, so take care of yourself, trains are a good thing, but you get very tired of it, so my advice:
When you come home, chat with good friends or draw, at least I will be glad of your creative achievements!
Good luck in life, take care of yourself and be careful, trains are hard work, spend more time on yourself.
Trains are extremely hard work here in America, but I’m glad I didn’t get that career years ago.
