Hello everyone,
My name is Ty and I have a story to tell. It's not a terribly long one, but i thought it would be interesting to share in my introduction.
So for a long time I have been eyeballing the furry community, dipping my toes ever so slowly into the content to see what it was all about. I had always been someone who enjoyed anthropomorphism and this seemed to be the logical chain of events. Since the start of High School (I'm 25 now) I've wandered here and there soaking in as much unique and interesting things the world could offer. I couldn't however, truly enjoy these things because of my negative social groups like friends and family towards such strange subject. It was the straight and narrow for this kid or wild discrimination and cruelty otherwise. On top of that I have a huge mental capacity for driving myself insane through anxiety and over thinking, that it would suffocate all my energy from my body and leave me endlessly tired. Thanks genetics.
Now that I am older, opportunities have shown their way to allow me to engage in the things I have wanted to without as harsh overbearing from different sources. In all truth, I am very introverted and socially crippled. I could blame my past or my upbringing, but instead I decided to look towards the horizon and meet new and fascinating people across the world who share my interests and morals.
I was so gladly greeted earlier this day by Loc in the IRC with kind and meaningful conversation that I knew from the start this was the place for me. I do not have fursona per-say, but hope to make a decision on something that truly symbolizes who I am and how I want to represent myself towards other people. I give my thanks to the creators of this forum and wish to hear all the stories to come. <3
