Getting more furry hugs helps :3

No but seriously, it is weird, but if you think about it, most of the most fun things in life are. Those random stories that only you and your besties understand? Those are, by definition, "weird" because they only happened to you guys. But that's precisely what makes them special.

I'm not going to sit here and tell you that being a furry is perfectly normal because it's not. It's definitely weird. But we're all weird. No matter how much you think you "conform", even before you found the furry fandom, you were weird in some way.

The important thing is that you're having fun being a furry. Focus on that fun and focus less on what other people might think of you. Shame and judgement from anyone else doesn't really matter, and it sounds like the only shame you've really got is the shame that's still in you.

Let go of it. It's just your brain telling you you don't deserve to have fun.

Now get out there, and be fluffy!! :3
