Furries are pretty effing scary, apparently.
14 years ago
Hey kids.
I came to the realization today while I was at work (it's boring so I have a lot of time to think about random things), that I'm afraid of other furries.
No, seriously. I am.
I'm not afraid of talking to other furs online but I think that's because there's still the veil of being a random person who will never meet other said random person. I can talk candidly, make friends and etc but the idea of meeting a fur in real life now brings up the hugest sense of social anxiety.
The weird thing is that I used to hang out with furs all the time. Some of my best real life pals were furries. But, now I can't even imagine going to a meet. It could be because of past situations and I'm afraid of having someone say mean things to me, or shun me, or make me feel otherwise unwelcome. I'm terrified of running across someone I know. Things like that. It's not that I'm afraid of "being myself" because I'm very open about my fluffyness.
It's just really depressing because I find myself being drawn towards certain subcultures within the furry subculture that I really need to talk to people about. Things like... being a babyfur. Well, not really a "baby" babyfur, but more of a... seven year old fur?
Yeah.
Stuff.
Thoughts, anyone?
