https://www.straitstimes.com/life/a-furry-cure-for-loneliness-its-like-socialising-on-easy-mode

Every three months, on Saturday evenings, hundreds of teens and young adults sprawl across picnic mats at the Sentosa Boardwalk, surrounded by soft toys, board games and takeout meals.

While most passers-by might mistake them for anime enthusiasts or gamers, those in the know recognise them as furries, a mostly online sub-culture fast gaining ground in Singapore.

They belong to Singapore Furries, the countrys largest furry community, which has more than 500 members, mostly composed of Gen Z and millennial-aged men. Many of them work in the tech sector, although furries of all stripes exist.

In all seriousness, I fully believe that the key to true happiness is learning how to be happy being by yourself.

Im not saying become a creepy antisocial loner who never sees anyone ever but like learn how to entertain yourself and enjoy being by yourself.

I definitely used to get hung up on being a ForeverAlone, or if like my buddies werent available to hang out, or my family wasnt available to do anything and it definitely bummed me out.

But for the last several years, Ive looked at it differently. Its great spending time with people when theyre available, but its also great taking time for myself to decompress and not have to be on. Tremendously improved my mental health.

I used to play board games in a coffee shop once a week with local furries before COVID ruined that, and now I'm in online gaming groups with a different group. Both groups were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and fun to be around.

Not arguing with your viewpoint because I want you to be happy, but one thing I want to point out. When you find the right partner, you don't have to be "on" with them. It is natural and easy, and can either do things together or separately and not a big deal either way.

But it does take the right person. I had to be "on" with my first wife and I was unhappy much of the time.

As long as the furries immediately show the Nazi-furs (because for some goddamned reason, that's a thing) the door the second they rear their ugly heads, I'm perfectly fine with this.

That image can be anything and anywhere.
You could be simply driving to the store or something when you see a billboard for some product you don't care about at all but it has an anthropompric hamster that you think... is kinda cute.
And so it begins...

I think you have to actually imagine the threesome with the hellhound girl and female centaur for it to work..

The furry fandom is a pay-to-win deal. If you want to make friends fast, put $10K down on a brand name fursuit. Or the same amount into (NSFW) art commissions of your OC.

Its hard to make friends at conventions because people tend to be cliquey there and stay within their own friend groups.

I was trying to figure out where you got centaur from... Realized it was because I said Horse Girl shirt lol...

It's literally a shirt that just says 'Horse Girl' with a cartoon Horse head...

Sounds fun and all, but you cannot make yourself attracted to something you aren't into.

being a furry doesn't in any way, shape or form lead to less loneliness in and of itself, in fact it's far more likely to do the opposite as it will almost guaranteed push away a lot more people than it will attract, making you feel lonelier than ever

You dont have to become a furry.

You DO have to put actual effort into your friendships, visit public spaces and know how to start conversations so you can start mew ones. Most furries do that on occasion

Of course there's a lot of other social habits you can engage in as well.
