Hey there, I guess.

[Alx]

Um. So, I'm Alex. I'm 15, I'm a homosexual, I live in the UK, and I think I'm a furry. Or something like that. I'm not too sure. See, today I went to a convention, and saw a group of four people in fur-suits, and they were the main people I wanted to get a picture with. I'm pretty shy, so I didn't strike up a conversation really, but they were so so friendly and nice. Plus, the fur-suits were so so soft...
Also, there's other reasons, but I've been wondering a lot. Am I a furry? I'm not like afraid or disgusted with myself, furries are awesome, but I've never really thought of myself as wanting to be one properly, until quite recently.
Yeah. What're y'alls thoughts? Also feel free to talk to me about anything, although I'm shy in person, I'm pretty friendly on here

[EDIT] When I looked at everyone else's, I realised I should probably tell you more about me. Well then.
-) I'm a retro gamer.
-) I like most music genres, but my favourites are Pop Punk, Post Hardcore and EDM.
-) I try to be as friendly as possible, so feel free to talk to me about anything
-) I try to write as much as possible, because I really like writing.
-) I don't have anything else to say. If there's anything you want to know, just ask

Welcome to the Forums!
We're all a friendly bunch--and pretty goofy much of the time!

The only requirement to be a furry is to be a fan of anthropomorphic animal characters. Everything else is optional. You don't even need a fursona!

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Thankyou! From what I've seen so far everyone here seems really cool
Really? Well, I guess I'm a furry then. Woo woo!
I have a question actually, do you just make up a fursona, or will it, like, come to me in a dream or something

[The Past]

You make it up. Many people create them based on traits they have, or traits they wish to have, and pick an animal that generally fits them. As time goes on, some change their fursonas as they change in real life, or just get sick of the old one and want to try something new.

Or some just choose to be whatever for no reason whatsoever.

I don't have a set fursona anymore, but the characters I use in roleplays and whatnot tend to be bears.

Thankyou for putting up with my nooby questions So, I'll have a think then. Thankyou for all your help

Hey there!
Nice to see a new face around.
If you have any outstanding questions, feel free to PM me and I will do my best to assist.
I hope your experiences here are memorable and the people you meet are friendly.

On the topic of finding a fursona, it might take time. Choose something you like or which has symbolic significance to you perhaps? Something that you consider yourself similar in characteristics to, or maybe the entire opposite. In the end, it is your choice.

Best of luck.
