ive considered leaving FA Before but not really leaving my online role much

Being on the computer and talking to my friends via Skype is the only means of human communication for me, pretty much. Mainly because I'm far too tired and shy to bother actually going out and talking to people. Plus I live in a bad neighborhood where the people are super creepy to begin with. xD So nah. Not leaving. Especially since I just got here and seem to have made some friends that legit like me.

But I understand why someone would want to leave. It gets pretty damn cringy at times after all and the reputation is pure shit. Meaning you can't mention furry fandom in front of a non-furry without being called an animal fucker or some shit.

If I decided to stop drawing and stop being a furry, I'd probably jump into competitive smash. The community is great.
If I stopped drawing, I'd also probably be reading a lot more. I stopped reading because every time I did I thought "this is time I could be spending drawing".
I'd get back into playing soccer too.

So much of my life revolves around the furry fandom. My friends, my art, my sexual interests, my boyfriend... I don't think I could ever abandon it. I'm stuck here forever.

I DID leave, didn't like it, and came back a few months later

well seeing how i literally hung out with my dumb friends last night i don't think my life would be any different. or i would just migrate to playing videogames and watch youtube videos.

I'm not an artist but as a furry I'm slowly coming away from it all; not by choice either. I just don't have very many people to talk to anymore, I'm not going to leave the fandom but I'm way less a part of it compared to how I used to be. I don't seem as interested in getting art anymore too, I'm not sure why but I'll still take a freebie if there's one around haha
I guess it's a little different for an artist though; you're always a part of it with your art, constantly pre-occupied and I know from experience that lots of people want to be friends with artists.

you're a furry till you DIE

You will leave. That's just inevitable. We all go through stages of our lives where we start liking some things more than others and it will change over time. If drawing doesn't start to interest you then you probably just have an interest in something else, you've just yet to find it.

Either way, don't restrict yourself to something as little as an internet website. There's just so much more out there for you to do and try out that...maybe you should just take a break from it all. Perhaps you should think about that: taking a break. Turn off the computer (or at least FurAffinity) and try finding other things to do. Read, go on a walk, hell look up some local activities that might be happening in your city.

That's what I do at least. I'm tired of only talking to people online and sitting on my ass all day. I look around and google up things to do. 5k walk for cancer? Alright, sure, so long as it's free or cheap. Wine festival in downtown? I'm not into wine but it's something to do. Just go with that kind of mindset.

Yes, you'll leave eventually, but that doesn't mean you'll be gone forever. You can always just come back and start drawing again or just chat it up with people online. It's completely fine to come and go.

Only a few sites, I've left completely. I did deactivate my FA once, wasn't pleased for a while.

but now even if I do leave. for most occasions it's temporary. as for friend wise. Although I do forget some people, and yet some (not all) unwatch me for not seeing me for period of time.

But as for most friends I know, even for some that leave for a temporary. some of them, still recognize me, since than. heck I have some I've known for a while, and they left for those periods. even if they are people who rather be responded by others. and not the other way around.

Although Improving has helped me. I'm doing my best to leave a little less. but if something really bad for some odd reason, wether it's scares me a lot. I will probably take a break for a bit. but only if it's bad.

as for drawing, I'm drawing a lot less as of recent. not because i don't want to. but I just keep forgetting and interests keep getting held off. so It's a 50/50 side for me. but although I do use the PC a lot. having a balance. like going outdoors or go somewhere that is fun or, your usual things. thankfully keeps me motivated to not worry so much about the leaving sites altogether.
