I'm having a problem being a furry...

[Naval]

   My problem is that I just can't seem to truly enjoyed myself. What I mean is that, I like being a furry and having a fursona. However the problem I run into is that I'm ashamed oh being one. Since ever OC or simply anything creative I do feels like a distraction from the pain of being weak and stupid. Now I understand i'm who ever I make myself to be, but I just can very be pleased with my work or choices.


     And as much as I enjoyed being on this forum and chatting away, I can't help but feel that what i'm doing is unhealthy. I run from my problems and can't seem to make things better. I know that I sould try seesing a counslor, but everytime I do I feel worse about myself. So I just don't know what I should do.

You should stop worrying about what others think of you and they don't even do it often

[Naval]

    I see...Hmmm I have to think about that.

Rasha, dear, a little escapism is perfectly healthy. Everyone does it to some degree be it through books, games, or roleplaying like yourself, but yes, never ever neglect yourself, always keep pushing yourself in the right direction and seek what's best to do so. What you're doing is fairly normal little guy.

I feel you Rasha. Or rather, I felt like you. When I first started to become a furry, I felt really weird, and felt like it was wrong. But I faced it, and now I love being a furry, and I see nothing wrong with it. And you shouldn't either
You gotta do, what makes you happy, and if being a furry is that thing. Do it, and don't care about how other people feel about it

[vinylhusky]

Look man I feel you too, but all I can do is chat and inspire you to ignore them, so Contact me if you need me and I will try to help

I have been into being a furry for a long time. It took me 6 years to finally be open about, and that is just on the internet. I told some friends of mine I am going to a furry convention and well I didn't except them to be so alright about it. Sure, they told me it was weird, but they were totally cool about it. I always thought I would be judged and that they just would not look at me the same. Trust me, If they really are your friends they will be the same way. Tell one of your most trusted friends that you are into being a furry and I promise you they will say it is slightly weird, but be totally cool with it.

One phrase sums it all up:
Those who matter don't mind. Those who mind don't matter.

Don't just stop doing what you like just because of what other people think about it, it may seem unhealthy but this is one most harmless fandoms out there, in the end simply focus on what you enjoy doing and don't let other people's opinion ruin something you like.
