Did you just call me dumb, Nye?
I am quite shy and timid offline, but that's for more human related reasons, many if not most people have social anxieties / are introverts / possess antisocial behaviour. And, say, a young fox really isn't that shy we are more wary than anything. My body clock is also more inclined towards nocturnalism but then so is my mom's lol.
I don't do anything I don't have to do, just like any animal I compromise with the environment and it is unnecessary to use the communicative behaviours of the fox when around humans especially. I feel it's like knowing French and only talking English when talking to a load of French-only speaking people x3
I just like identifying with the species I am it seems everytime I sleep and its like a inner image which is why I like the online freedom to be a fox etc. I also have phantom feelings of my foxiness
I don't rely on my other senses to vision besides touch compared to humans, as I have a human nose, a human tongue and human ears lol so I can only rely on those as much as I possibly and I can only hear as much frequencies as my human ears permit. I might run Fox OS but I'm certainly using human hardware.
I'm a realist really even though I grasp concepts very well and I'm not very conformative to labels especially when the conversational knowledge surrounding it is erroneous.
I like cuddling like a young fox by nuzzling and nomming as well. I also like to cuddle up with my tail. Though, I know foxes enough to regard that I'm not a dog or a fashion statement / domestic animal and I do not feel like wagging my tail just because of casual happiness. We do sometimes nervously wag our tail, though, like may be when forced to do something or unsure what a fellow fox is doing (because our tail counterbalances our body, it is a natural reaction to wag because our subconscious mind is unsure which way we'll go to counteract a sudden nervous movement in that way it's usually more like swaying for red foxes since our tails are very bushy to move) but I will wag my tail if it makes my friends happy
People hold so much wrong stereotypes on foxes we come to feel misunderstood as a species
