For me, joining the furry fandom has had a huge impact on my life in a good way. I learned that it’s okay if I’m different or “cringe” as long as what I’m doing is making me happy. I no longer need validation from others that what I’m doing is okay because I now realize that those types of people needlessly bully individuals who do stuff that doesn’t match their definition of “based”. I feel more confident in talking to other people which led me to becoming friends with the best person I’ve ever met who is now my partner.

I’m curious to know your story about joining the fandom and how it has impacted you so I can get to know this community better.

    @jessecool1234 It has had a huge positive impact, especially since it allowed me to meet people who are non-judgemental and accept me for who I am.

    It’s allowed me to be myself in a world where I had learned to pretend to not be “the weird kid” and tried to fit in too much. @chat
