ive been encountering this per say problem. its not really a problem its just that when i wear my collar i feel more secure than when i dont. and when i dont wear my collar i cant focus hardly. its really weird and its starting to bug me because i cant wear the collar because of a standing ban because the pricaple thinks its sexually related. and its not getting repealed any time soon because as i have found out some people dont like to sign a potion for people to wear collars. what do you guys think. am i crazy?
-
No, your not crasy, i do the same thing, but i cant focus and i feel very off if its not near me. My suggestion is that you should put it on your wrist, like a wristband, it helps me, and no one notices my collars,
-
i have the same problem actualy. and i concur, turning it into a wristband helps.
alot
-
ill have to try that thanks!
-
i prefer it around my neck. on top of that its to big for my rist.
-
Nope your not crazy, if you are then I am as well because I'm the same way ^^;
-
at least i know that there are others like me! that makes me feel better! :3
-
Lol same here, I feel better and more myself when I wear my collar, don't really know why. I wear it whenever I'm depressed like about my math. When I do wear it, I enter focus or not focus. When I'm focused is when I'm gaming. I'm not focused sometimes when I'm doing homework, because I keep on picking my collars buckle a lot. Most of the time I do focus.
I enjoy the feeling on my neck and turning it into a bracelet is bad because it's way more distracting than anything. Miss it whenever I don't wear it. I felt more focused when I worry collar to school on Halloween, I felt better too...
Yeah, I need to wear my collar to school again sometime.
-
i wore mine yesterday. worked well but i had to avoid the pricaple. he thinks its sexual or somtin...
-
Well it can be a sexual symbol, have you explained to the principal that it is not a sexual symbol for you? Does the principal know that your furry?
-
No I have not but I have talked and talked about it and I know he's heard me because he walks past us every morning very slowly.
-
Probably listening to hear anything sexual. Lol you are on his watch list.
-
i agree with the whole feeling better with your collar on than off thing. I just started wearing mine (only to school and places without mine or my mates parents) but i cant wear it anymore because the humans at school started making fun of my mate for it (theyre apparently too afraid to say anything to my face so they say it to my mate instead). He said it was fine if i still wore it but i dont wanna make his life harder than it already is :/ but since i stopped wearing it i noticed i started getting distracted, especially in school... im glad to learn tht im not the only one that feels like that lol
-
ya ive had the same problem but the bigest problem with wearing my collar was my parents finding out. so i gradurally allowed them to see it like when i sleep. then last night i wore it while watching tv. my dad glared at me and madethe hhhmmmm noise. :? now i dont know if hes ok with it or not. the only time i take it off in school though is if there are pictures or a presentation that i have to do.
-
Wow, yeah my parents have seen me wear my collar when I sleep. Like my dad barges into my room to open the window, and I know he say my black, nylon collar. Like a few times, I don't think he really cares but I don't think he'll let me wear it elsewhere when he's around because he would think that it's informal. Same with having my phone around when I eat. I don't think they've seen me with my collar since summer but I'm sure my dad came into my room in like 5 a.m. When I'm like in the middle of a dream.
I think they've seen my second, blue nylon collar but not my new one I got last week...
Either way, I doubt it that they will allow me to wear it anywhere else, as long as they are around. The mall, make schools a good place but I wouldn't get there any time soon. Because I'm busy now.
-
Well my situation changed a lot last night when he came into my room while i was wearing it and reading. he asked me why i was wearing it if any one gave it to me, if i was goth, and why i was wearing it agian. i just kinda brushed off the questions. he must have thought it was a joke. he made me take it off but he let me keep it so idk what im gonna do now. i didnt bother to tell him im a furry. he should know cuz my signitare on my phone is furry pride.
-
I need to get a new collar
-
i need to get a new leather strap for my collar.(dont want to replace the buckle)
-
that's why I don't wear any furry gear while people are home. I have an extremely obnoxious and nosy family so I don't bother doing that stuff around the house because they'll just act all angry about it and giggle about it behind my back. Outside of the house I really don't care because most of my friends know I'm weird XD
-
I know that they are ment to get wet but mine needs to be cleaned hmmmmm wonder if they can be put in the washing machine
-
you could try it i guess. i've never had to wash mine because i never wear it anymore
-
Not crazy at all!
Its the same thing as if someone likes to wear their favorite bracelets, shirts, hell, even bring their favorite stuffed animal.
So no, your not crazy.
I feel the same way. c:
-
Stick it in the washing machine if it is a nylon collar. If it's leather, it would be like killing it. Since water is bad for leather so I wouldn't dump it into water. I washed my nylon collars while I wear them when I shower, after that I take it off and there, it's clean, unless you want to clean it more by adding detergent. For leather collars, use leather conditioner or use a damp cloth wipe it. I haven't cleaned my leather one since I got it.
-
*thinks about wearing his collar more often* :D

my leather collar is two colored, brown on one side black on the other(is made from reversible belt) i always wear the brown side on the outside, i havent ever cleaned mine either,(though i have sprayed 2 or 3 times with leather waterproofing chemical) lets just say my sweat has really taken its toll on the black side(i never take it off, execpt when i swim or shower, never otherwise)
-
I wish I could were mine more often ...
-
Wow, everytime there is a thread about collars like this one, it makes people want to wear one, wear it more often or get a new one.
-
i have to say that at school i feel more comfortable wearing my collar in some classes then others. art class for example is fine when there isnt a substitute. when there is all any one ever talks about is why am i wearing it. taday at lunch a kid, decided that he would grab my collar, and look at my tag and make fun of me. when i grabbed his hand and pushed him back. :? what the duce?!?!

eh. just mean people. that's why i don't do it at school even though we have a higher average furry population.
-
You could always say to them "why not" or "why can't I? " something along those lines.

i got in a fight once (two against one) one got behind me, grabs collar and pulls to choke me, second guy rushes me and swings his elbow at my face, i pull the quick-release pin i made for the buckle, thing one falls on his butt,(he fell hard too!) i block thing twos elbow with my forearm, step back(at this point the foot most of my weight is on is on thing ones stomach), and i uppercut thing two, knocking him to the ground.
i would like to thank video games for my reflexes and timing, naruto for teaching me to fight better, and ofc me for making the quick release.

i also play airsoft but ive also read the guide for the oh sh!t course and i alwys get picked on any way so getting attacked over my collar is nothing new but lately since i have not had the time to put up with it i stopped wearing my good collar except for on important days like last day of school before break and on other days just wearing my jade necklace and use the slipknot to tighten it like a collar
-
I really really really don't like not wearing my collar....and ddor x mas I got my master a leash as a joke :P
-
I feel for you all ,I was always picked on in school .You cant be who you are or the discovering your doing i.e. furry ,what clothes and i consider collars clothes.Heres what sucks about society to them its not normal,schools ,work places your principal ,parents, to us its a part of who we are .My own exsperiences have well sucked just as bad .My advive find a necklace you can wear put your dog tag on it and make it for more for school,etc so you dont loose your identy but you still are playing by societys You will always have a part of your identy with you.... :D :D
-
Today I am wearing my shamog witch is what the tallaban wear I guess it covers my collar....but I weear the shamog cuz its.cold...
:P
-
I don't really get picked on because there's a larger furry population at my school. I really don't wear furry stuff much though because the jocks already hate the social group I come from and they're big and scary and I'm so small and weak... >.>
-
large forces willing to at least say something, are going to win. its itimidation, if they are bigger they tend to let it go to their heads, but if the odds are 5-1 then (assuming they can count) then they are more likely to back down to me its simple tacticts
-
i just tell them to go fluff themselves. i didn't use the word "fluff" per se but you know what I mean >.>
-
ya, its always a liable option given the fact that most of scociety reacts, uh how to say defencivly.....to comments like that.
-
they just don't expect me to say it and when I do it shocks them XD
-
mmm, liable defence! i use the opertunity to open a conversation and let them in on the furry comunity
-
Yes ... yes you are... lol nah this nothing wrong with that.
Its like a security item, it makes you fell more conferable and gives you a sense of well being. Some people have blankets or a plushie ( mostly chidlern carry these around) its normal, that you fell like this, it might take some time to get over it.
Yes, some people do use collars for sexual resions and most people ( who are not furrys ) see it that way. Don't where it to school you don't want to have to deal with subspetions and other content of that matter.
-
eh, i wear it to school, its distracting if i dont...
-
i lately got a new collar which was actually a choke collar and apparently one of my teachers didnt like it and she tried to rip it off me herself -rubs neck- kinda hurt... i got a detention for "being disrespectful to a teacher" o.o

that can be interpreted as illegal.
