I really don't know if I would even be remotely considered a furry, right now I just like the art and stuff.
I don't even have a fursona, and have -1 drawing skills (worse than zero drawing skills) and can't do art wizardry.
I can't even decide the species for my fursona, which is the first thing you decide for a fursona.

Hello and welcome! I hope you enjoy the forums :)
If/when you decide on a fursona, I'm sure there would be plently of furs willing to do you up an avi or sketch or something for you. *ahem* (myself.)
So what do you do with your time Hyphero? What makes you awesome?

I don't do much, mostly Internet, but I may go out of the house sometimes.
I haven't done anything furry, however.

I have a very amorphous taste in music, I mostly forum, maybe look at stuff on the Internet, and I don't have many defined favorite movies or books.

I can't decide on a species, mainly I want it to be my spirit animal, if not then something cool.

Hello and welcome to the forums! A furry is anyone who has an appreciation for anthropomorphic animals, so I guess you would be considered a 'furry'. What are your hobbies? :)

I wish I had more hobbies.
But mainly I do things on the Internet.

Welcome to the forum ^^
If you consider yourself to be a furry, then welcome to the fandom as well :)
If you like the art and such, you could consider yourself to be a furry, so yes ^^
Hope you'll like it here.

Well, I do like the art and stuff, but don't feel like an animal inside.
I think spirit animals are interesting, however.
I don't know if I'm a furry.

Feeling like an animal or believing you have an animal soul is something different x3
I think you mean Therian/Otherkin. That is something else. Some Therians/Otherkin are furries too, but some aren't either.
So you don't have to feel or think you're in animal ion the inside to be a furry :)
Furries are generally people who like furry art, art of anthropomorphic creatures, etc.
Hope that helped :)
-
^ is right about that you know XD
I myself dont feel like I have an animal soul or anything like that I just like the art, Rp, the people themselves, and of course animals and anthro characters.
But i still consider myself a furry. :)

Yes it did. :)
Since I just like the art and still haven't decided on a fursona or done anything else furry, I still can't tell if I would be considered a furry, since the membership barrier is very amorphous.

To be a furry, the only requisites I could imagine would be that you are interested in anthropomorphic characters and the culture of the fandom and that you wish to consider yourself one. The only thing that makes you a furry is your desire to be one. Don't let anyone tell you what you are or aren't, because what you are is your choice.
I used to be a lot like you, except more or less in complete, vehement refusal to be included. People kept telling me "U LIEK ANTHROS, U R A FURREE EVEN THO U DONT WANNA B." I would get reeeeeeal mad about that. But eventually, I came to realize I liked the culture and eventually wanted to be a furry. And that is when I really became one. So you're seriously only a furry if you want to be.
Oh, welcome to our little abode, by the way.

It's a pleasure visiting here.
By the way, Where can I get help deciding on a fursona, btw?
I mostly want my spirit animal, but without considering it I'm stuck between phoenix and dragon.

There's a place right here (http://www.thefurryforum.com/forums/index.php?topic=18015.0).
This thread (http://www.thefurryforum.com/forums/index.php?topic=4353.0) and this thread here (http://www.thefurryforum.com/forums/index.php?topic=22167.0) could also possibly give you some ideas.

I still can't decide on a phoenix or a dragon.

Welcome ^_^ . Furry covers a pretty broad spectrum, don't worry you don't have to be into everything to be considered one. We're glad to have you.

I hope I can eventually get art wizardry skills and a fursona.

Ya i'm having a hard time with the art part but practice makes perfect :) . Making a fursona is fun and you can have multiple or change the existing one. Some people like to evolve their fursona as they change or see fit. I know it's a hard decision to settle on one kind :P . I'm lucky and my choice was easy.

Welcome to the forums and the fandom, Hyphero! ^_^ I'm Nobi—a ringtail, and lover of all things short, sharp, and stabby! *opens shoebox full of various knives*
When it comes to creating a fursona, just settle on what you feel most comfortable with. I see you've mentioned your spirit animal once or twice in your posts here. Maybe you can delve a little more into that? You can also be a shapeshifter, if you like. I know a few. :) That can be especially helpful if you're stuck between two possible 'sonas, like you seem to be with a phoenix and a dragon. You could even be a hybrid! A Phoegon!! Or a Dragix!! :D
Anyway, feel free to message me or comment on my profile if you ever wanna talk. X3 Have fun!

The spirit animal is the animal you feel closest to and resonate most with, which takes skill to find.
It's usually the best animal for your fursona to be based on.

I'm familiar with spirit animals, yes. :) I've also heard several different definitions of them, and yours is no more or less valid than the others. Different strokes for different folks—er, furs, I say. ^_^ Same goes for basing your fursona on a spirit animal. It can be good for some, but it's not everyone's thing. :) If you feel a deep spiritual connection to your fursona, or feel that such a connection is necessary, more power to you, my friend. :) Take your time and search for the species that fits you best. But don't be afraid to test the waters with different fursonas, if you will. Experimentation is all part of the journey, in my opinion.
-
The problem, is that I really can't decide from dragon or phoenix, because I see parts of myself in both of those.
-
Just an idea, maybe you can kind of see if you can create a mixture between the both of them? I don't know if that's something you'll be willing to consider :)

Only if I'm absolutely sure neither of those on their own will work out.
