I have social anxiety disorder. Today was the second attempt at a furry event. The first was at an event called Tail. I don't really dance or sing but it was nice to see everyone happy and greeting each other. It was the first time I felt lost, not knowing anyone and expecting an undesirable reaction if I talked to them.

Today was a repeat of the bar but on a larger scale. I noticed 17 people RSVP for the event but over 70 people were there. I was overwhelmed. There was a bench in the shade I had decided to camp out at hoping that my messages on the meetup group asking who and where they were, so I could introduce myself. It ended with 5 hours of fruitless results.

Yea I have it bad.


I can handle a small group but not when there are that many. Disneyland is an easy place to meet because I always feel safe there.

**It also didn't help that I heard heckling and some very unsavory comments from fur and non fur individuals.
