How to stop being afraid?
Hey everyone, I've been n furry for many years now. But literally no one knows irl and I have zero furry friends online. I would like to change that but I'm incredibly nervous about it.
I know there's a lot of judgment and criticism towards the fandom. But how do I just ignore it and be myself anyway? I've always been iffy about being my true self online, as people dont really have a filter online and can say whatever. So I guess I'm kinda scared of the response?
In the past I would have to hype myself up even when just replying to someone else. I dont like this mindset and I'm trying to change it. I wanna express myself and stop worrying. Does anyone else feel like this? Can I get some advice or tips on how to change it? Would be much appreciated!
