Title: How do you cope with the fact that it will never happen?
Post by: Lostfurry on September 09, 2014, 05:03:20 PM

Hey guys. Looking for some advice.

I am happy. I am in a long term relationship with a girl I love. She's not a furry, but me being a furry doesn't stress our relationship at all or really ever come up. Not a problem. This isn't about my relationship.

Every few months I get these...pangs. This powerful, painful longing for the whole furry thing to be...real. To be with an anthropomorphic creature. And I get pretty bummed with the fact that it will never happen.

Fur suits and the like don't really interest me. It's all about the art.

So...does anyone else feel this way? How do you deal with the fact that it will never happen? That this part of you will never truly be satisfied?

I get this a lot myself, and frankly I haven't dealt with it. I just go and tell myself that somehow they'll come up with a way for that to happen before I die, but I really can't help you. I have the same problem you do though.

I look at it like this:

What I find to be the most "magical" or "important" part of being a furry is the creativity in comparing human behavior to animal-like characteristics. You must realize that the relationship between people and the anthropomorphic or "animal like" mannerisms and characteristics exists on a metaphoric and spiritual level.

For example, in the imaginary world of furries there is no role play  (in terms of role-playing as an anthropomorphic being) that compares with humans being personified as furries (fursona, etc). The only thing similar would be to role play as a different race.

If anthropomorphic races really existed, there would be no such thing as the furry fandom as we know it, and the creativity behind personifying one's personality with an anthropomorphic character would not exist. Therefore wishing for furries to "really exist" is a paradoxical thought, as you might not think about furries the same way as you do now if they actually existed.

Buuuuuut if an anthropomorphic alien race decided to suddenly show up, I don't know what to tell you.

I don't know if anyone as actually look into body mods, but there was one guy who crossed the line between man and animal

It looks rough, but with a little time, a little research, it could happen.

Talk about uncanny valley. I'm pretty sure that guy's picture is going to give me nightmares. Forever.

Thanks, guys. I definitely know what you're saying--maybe it's a want what you can't have type of thing. Although I'm sure it isn't! If that alien race did show up, I'd go pretty nuts.

For me it is entirely a physical thing. Everyone would be more attractive if they had fur and a snout and tail.
