I'll see your furry meme and raise you an anxiety meme

[EDIT: I was trying to fix a spelling error and hit remove by mistake, oops, forced to repost]
Are you a furry?
I don't know what I am anymore
How long have you been in the community?
I don't remember when i joined in earnest, but I've been secretly creeping around for a while. This isn't my first name.
How did you find furry?
Seanbaby ->POE ->THE FANDOM!!!
What's your reason for furry (what interested you to get into the community)?
My parents read Little Red Riding Hood to me wrong and I've been psychologically and sexually FUBAR ever since.
What's Furry to you?
Cartoon animal people, or werewolves, or hideous Dr. Moreau Type Monsters, pretty much anything is rad. Restrictive definitions are for people trying to write Wikipedia articles.
If someone found out you're a furry and asked you about it how would you respond?
I would probably come clean and have an enlightening and interesting conversation with them, then regret it about a week later when their cracks about the fandom I happen to have secret connections to stopped being shots at some nebulous other and started being directed more at me personally.
What are your favorite aspects of our community?
I guess the sort of underground and somewhat decentralized way that furries operate, as a fandom that doesn't answer to some entertainment company ultimately. I mean don't get me wrong, I like those companies, but furry seems to have more of an interest in the efforts of individuals outside the more traditional producer/consumer model that anime and mainstream comics and other entertainment products work under.
Do you use any furry terms? (i.e. yiff, paws, murr?)
Not really.
What do you wish furry was NOT associated with?
A bunch of guys who seem really gung-ho about the idea of me bending over backwards to step in line with whatever they think the fandom's PR should look like.
How strongly do you feel about someone bashing the community as a whole?
Generally when my friends bag on my secret interests I just go along with it and pretend like I agree with them. If the online and offline me were different people, we'd be at each others throats. The whole thing feels like I'm at odds with myself, like I'm my own enemy, like Keanu Reeves in the movie "A Scanner Darkly" or something. It's pretty unsettling.
Of course if my offline friends knew my secrets, I'd probably be assured that I'm "one of the good ones". To my face, anyways.
How strongly do you feel about anyone bashing you yourself for your interest based on the media's aspect of what furry is?
I would probably have it coming.
We all know furries have a lot of sexual aspects in this fandom, What's your opinion on it?
My parents read Little Red Riding Hood to me wrong and I've been psychologically and sexually FUBAR ever since.
What is/are your fursona(s)?
I don't have a fursona, which around here is basically not having an identity. Coincidentally my identity is also in pretty rough shape.
Do you have any fetishes that pertain to the fandom?
My parents read Little Red Riding Hood to me wrong and I've been psychologically and sexually FUBAR ever since.
If you could magically morph into your fursona would you?
If I could magically come up with a fursona at all I would. I've been my own enemy for so long that my sense of self is almost destroyed.
Do you believe you have a spirit animal?
My fixation on this Phillip K Dick double secret agent self-destruction enemies with myself shit is almost vaguely spiritual.
What other fanbases/groups are you a part of?
I spend a lot of time with an anime club who I suspect would destroy me if they knew me, pretending to be someone who I suspect would destroy me if he knew me.
Anthro/Feral, Therian or Kemonomimi (Not a furry, just a human with animal ears and a tail)?
What about Kemonome (Just a human with animal eyes)?
Are you a fursuiter? If yes, how many do you own? If No, do you ever plan on being a suiter?
To be honest, if I had that kind of disposable income and free time I'd probably just get into World of Warcraft.
How many of your friends are furry?
Online, quite a few. I don't think any of my offline friends have any idea who I really am. Eventually I'll inadvertently give myself away somehow, and one of their engineers will bludgeon me to death with a wrench. I just hope they'll have enough respect to spray an animated gif of keyboard cat on top of my corpse and micspam the song.
Aside from furry what other interests do you have?
I read comics and play video games and watch TV and listen to pretty terrible electronic music.
Are you confident enough in yourself to say that you're a fur, no matter what the media says?
I'm so fucked up about the whole thing that I found it easier to split myself into two people who are out to destroy each other than to come to terms with it, so not really, no.
Do you attend any cons? If no, would you attend any cons? If yes, which cons have you been to?
I've been to FCN but money is pretty tight so I can't really haul off to anything out of state.
Do you go to local meetups(bowling, public outings...etc)?
I don't know any local furries.
Have you ever met up with a fur you talked to online?
Yeah, a few times. For the most part it's been pretty awesome.
What furry websites do you attend?
Livejournal? Deviantart?
What non furry websites do you frequent?
Livejournal? Deviantart?
Has the fandom done anything for you that you're thankful for? Has it taught you anything or brought you anything you treasure greatly?
I made some real cool penpals, and being aware of and able to communicate with other people out there who can relate to getting stiffies for werewolves and sexy monsters and having secret nerd crushes on Renamon honestly is kind of a weight off of my shoulders.

honestly though at this point I've spent so long with this weirdly bifurcated identity that I don't think I'd know how to function otherwise
