A furry wears pants. An anthro does not need pants. A creature could run on all fours.

advice for people with social anxiety! a guide written for VRChat, but it's probably at least a little applicable to meatspace as well! ok, don't jump.

a circle of 6 or more is really hard to enter. you might get exhausted trying to follow the conversation, and it's hard to contribute to as well. try a group of 3, or practice greeting stragglers.

silence is ok! it's part of the natural ebb and flow of conversation. sometimes words don't work and you just have to gesticulate, crouch really fast, or jump! there's no pressure for thinking what to say. remember to breathe, just vibe, and let it come naturally. listening to music helps! don't be hard on yourself, you're making an impact just by being there.

take breaks! if there's a ton of crosstalk and you're getting overwhelmed, move to a more peaceful area. you might also take this opportunity to listen to your body and take the headset off for a little bit if needed.

find an anchor! if you notice anyone you vibe with, stick with them! they are the ones you know you can keep company with even if you aren't talking. people move around and circles can grow out of your comfort zone, so remember the above tips and keep an eye out for any other potential anchors.

i love recontextualization. the thing itself is unchanged, but the addition of context changes it irreversibly. the rhythm of the melody is changed by the addition of the beat. the meaning of the song is changed by the experiences of life. the significance of the memory is changed by the development of self.

you can't just journal the sad things, you have to journal the happy things too
