How did YOU become furry? =)

Please stay on topic.

When I was first introduced, I thought it was awesome. I wasn't going to become a furry until I started hanging with furries. It was like a party every second for weeks with out end.

Sadly, 2 out of 3 of my dogs died in one day. That tore me apart. I loved thinking about furries and being with furries so I wasn't to torn for long. Still, I wish they were here now.  I was open to ideas on getting me happy again. Becoming a furry was the first thing that came up so I became a furry. Now, I haven't been a furry for long so I am fairly new to everything. I must admit, I am feeling much better now than when I did on new years. I also now have things I can do on my free time other than play video games and watch TV. I am no sports player or fan so I don't play sports or watch sports. I have never really had many friends until last November. Now I have many awesome friends and I am almost never home because I like to be with my friends.

So my fursona is known as buddywolf. Buddy is the last dog I have now so I used his name. I also love wolfs and I was going to think of a wolfish name but none came to mind so I threw wolf after buddy and buddywolf was born.

So in a shortend sentence, I was influenced into becoming a furry from friends and events. Thank you for reading.

I believe it all started when i saw Disney's Robin Hood, I literally fell in love with the princess!!! She is sooo cute, and ever since then it kinda paired up with my sexual preferences

Nothing wrong with that no need to embarrassed

At some point in my early teens or pre-teens, I realized that I was really into stories that involved people transforming into animals.  I was always a fan of the Animorph books and also became fascinated by Northern Lights because of the animal dæmons.  Then at some point I discovered the furry community, don't remember the specifics, and they seemed like a nice tolerant bunch of people to join, if a little eccentric.

I've always loved Redwall but that didn't get me into the fandom (though I suppose it helped), that was the Y-word, but I was always unsure about whether or not that actually constituted being a furry. Then randomly there was a thread about Las Lindas on /v/ (for reasons I still don't quite understand. A troll, presumably) which I started reading & then a while after that I decided to stop beating around the bush & jump into the forums & RPing. Only been here a day but I'm already glad I did.

Awwwww thanks Self-sain.  Im actually really glad i got ino this forum at last

*Agree's with Bantos...*

Honestly, I'm not really sure. I mean I've always loved animals, but I think that I was furry even before I knew what it was. I didn't call myself a furry then because I didn't know about it. When I discovered furry I realized how much of a furry I already was. I, unfortunately, tried to deny it at first, but I later realized that it was stupid to deny it because being a furry is great!

I feel embarressed to say that a long while ago, and this is the most major of ways that i can attribute to being furry... I used to pray, yes pray, that i would wake up and be a pokemon.... like in the game..... literally every night..... but that was a while ago, and then more than a month ago i discovered, furryism, and i am so happy i did!

[HowlTheGrayWolf]

Well, I've prayed that I'd wake up to be a wolf, but then that changed considering how many more possibilities I would have as an intelligent and outspoken human.

It's still fun to pretend to be a wolf, though, but I'll always be human inside.

[Alice The Necrofox]

yeah
me too

[Self-sain]

I wouldn't mind being a mixture like in my fursona

[HowlTheGrayWolf]

Yes, I would LOVE the idea. Still being able to keep my complex mind and way of life, but at the same time be in the body of something completely new.

[Rex]

Yeah, now i wish i could be an animal-person mix.... preferably a fox... working on an avi... but for now it will remain as the band members of nirvana.....
