Contemplating suicide
5 years ago
General
After a lot of people harrassed me and basically made me believe that i dont belong in this fandom. I may just end my life because i cant take the guilt in thinking i dint belong. Im not certain if i will end my life today or tomorrow. But some day. I know many people will be looking forward to my death. I was in this fandom for 6 years. I loved this fandom because it made me feel welcome and accepted. Furries just give me depression and stress now. I have been constantly told that i am not wanted or that i dont belong. Im starting to believe that.

please your life is worth any more what some assholes on the internet say
During my first days in this fandom people told me as well, that I wasn't furry enough, as I was unexperinced with its ways and inner workings and I felt bad about it. Now, after being part of this fandom for half my lifetime now, I can only laugh about those earlier assumptions of me not belonging.
When you have been part of this fandom for 6 years, then this proves that you belong here, otherwise you wouldn't have stayed for this long.
The fandom isn't an exclusive club. The fandom is just a loose community of people with shared interests in anthropomorphic animals. For some people it's just a hobby, for some it's a lifestyle, for some it's a state of mind, for some it's something spiritual. But in the end, no matter which of those things apply to you, if you feel at home here, then you do belong here.
Don't give haters power over your decisions, don't ever let them win!
