Your Furry Side

[The Bovine Rodent]

Ehhh, I don't really tend to show my furry side... my parents, as well as the little bitty town I live in, make fun of people for every last thing that isn't conformist. Heck, I've been mocked for reading a book that wasn't Twilight, so I really don't care to know how everyone would react to that  :th_PyongLlora:.

[★Kuro★]

Oh dear, I know how you feel. <_<
Anything non-conformist, I get made fun of for.  :'(

[Dr. Strange]

Psh. Break free and ignore it. They're just frightened by your containing the gene 'I-don't-give-a-rep'. The jealousy is superficial and once they get used to you acting that way, it'll be normal. If they never get used to it, screw them. There's better people out there anyway.

Oh, make no mistake. I am not conformist in any way, whatsoever. Buuut I'd rather not show all of myself and wind up like the dude that got beat up for being himself, then told to "man up" by nearby people. I do not enjoy pain. And also, I would probably get pissed, fight back, and get blamed for the whole thing.

[Dr. Strange]

Better idea then. You are female, correct?

 good. Now three easy steps to start off with.

1. begin to let more of yourself show
2. when people make like they're upset about it, walk away
3. most importantly; NEVER, EVER let someone tell you how to act.
there is absolutely no reason for such ignorance.

Nor is it their right to dictate how you respond to your environments. Let them try to bring you down, they fight physically, fight mentally. They say something, ignore it. They do something to tick you off, brush it off. Nothing gets under their skin better than if you act as though you could care less. Trust me, I was on both sides of the spectrum and I've learned my lesson. I don't care if they ridicule me, nor do I torment others for who they are. I may make cute little comments about friends' odder sides but it is pure fun and if we offend each other, we make up.

I don't like to hear someone being made fun of because they're different, it's RIDICULOUS. Someone gets on your case, send them to me. I will gladly straighten them out with a word or two. I am not a very violent person (even if I come off that way) unless I decide there's no other way to solve an issue. Do your best to fix it peacefully and, if nothing else helps, knock the biggest one down and the rest will back out.

To the first question: yeah, I'm a girl.

The thing is, its not a single group. Well, it is, but said group encompasses a heck of a lot of people. I'm fine with being a bit more myself in front of a couple friends who really couldn't give a crap, but I'm afraid of people otherwise. Like, you can pretty much reduce me to a tearful, shaking blob of jelly if you raise your voice slightly, look angry, look displeased in any fashion, or seem to disapprove of me. Aaaand they have figures that out. I don't let people tell me how to act, but I'll be too scared of them to do anything they don't like in the first place. I do walk away, but I encounter the same people all the time.

[Dog Donovan]

I wish I could come over there. I tend to be... persuasive. No violence! I swear!

But yeah, I'm sick of seeing Furiends tormented, and I plan on doing more about it when I'm older.

On a side note: There's no Hot Topic here in Tumwater... That makes me sad.

[Dr. Strange]

Then begin to change. I was shy when I first started really encountering people and I got pushed one too many time. Now I'm completely dominant. I don't take no for an answer and I am really hard to get along with if you like control. I'll show you how I was back then, let me find my picture....

[Dog Donovan]

(She's seriously as stubborn as me... As we figured out together. Makes me like her even more! )

[★Kuro★]

Yeah Bovine, don't let them get to you....
I'm kinda going through the same thing and right now, King is my hero
Things are starting to get easier because everytime someone looks at me wrong, I ignore them or stare back.
This is all because they think I'm "weird". Mainly for my collar obsession.
Lately if I walk into class without one, everyone stares at me like why am I NOT wearing one?
I hope things stay that way, because its starting to slowly get better. And I need to stop being so self-concious, that's a personal problem. Once that's over and I can be stubborn and show them I don't care they ridicule me, then I will fully be at peace. 

[Dr. Strange]

First rule of thumb: admitting you are self-conscious. Afterward, the going gets easier. Remember though, it's got to get rough before it get smooth.

Yea. I've been getting better. I used to never talk to anyone that I didn't know through a friend but now...
But I have a ways to go...
I want a collar! (AND they look cool too^^)

[★Kuro★]

It's going to be a bumpy road, that's for sure.

Hehe yup. I love collars! 
I think I have 6 or 7 different ones now, and little charms and tags too<3

[Dr. Strange]

i only have one.... but it's my favorite one and I wear it everywhere! I can't wear it to the pool because of the metal chains and studs on it...

[★Kuro★]

Same here. I wear one everywhere. And if I forget, I feel like part of me is gone.
Except in water, like you said. I don't want them getting rusty
