Things That Made You A Furry

[YoshiDragon31337]

Well, lets see... I had:
The help of my boyfriend to show me the game Changed (which is a furry transformation game)
YouTube recommendations to show me videos about the Furry community, like Majira Strawberry.
My general curiosity about animals
And positive people on Discord (plus a lot and lot of role play)

- animal jam

Other than that, I would say I was born a furry.

the game Lugaru, really fun action game where you play as an anthro rabbit and fight other anthro rabbits

ToonTown, probably

To be honest, I don't fully know, it sorta just amalgamated over time until I got to the point of creating a Dragonborne and a Tabaxi, or Khajiit, DnD characters and actually playing a Khajiit in Skyrim. And when I made all the friends that I have now, it sorta just bloomed I guess. I don't know how to put it. I started acting like a cat sometimes just to mess around and my friends started jokingly calling me a furry but, I guess they were right. I can't really pinpoint specific things.

I asked you if you were a furry so I guess I might be a contributing factor lmao

Was at a LAN party my cousin took me to, everyone had different anthro backgrounds and I thought it was some seriously cool art, asked about it and they told me all about the fandom, conventions, meets and how their Fursona represented them. It just said something to me I guess, so I started designing my first fursona

Formed some seriously good friendships with these furs my cousin introduced me to, decided to look into furmeets in the city in the hopes that I'd meet more people that seemed as genuine and friendly, as being a 15 year old at school, despite having plenty of friends at school they didn't feel "Genuine"

Signed up, started chatting with some other local furs and they arranged a meet in the city (about 7 years ago when the local community was more casual), I went along and met all these weird and wonderful people in and out of their fursuits and thought that this would change my life forever, and HOLY HELL has it ever, for better and for worse.

When I was a really little kid, I was literally convinced I was a dinosaur and wore this full body costume everywhere, all the time. I'm pretty sure that had something to do with dysphoria and hating my physical appearance, but I always like animals and costumes anyways and as a kid they were a comforting and fun thing to me. So now even as an older person it's still something I use to express myself artistically and get past my social anxiety.
So basically, I can thank being trans and having identity issues for being a furry lmao.
