I'm a pretty kinky guy, and a furry at that. sometimes I really resent it. Most people I know from those scenes don't seem to relate to this resentment at all; they feel like since what they're into doesn't harm anyone, they have no reason to abstain. I've heard of sociological theories that purport that living in a way contrary to the norm makes you depressed. Maybe there's some truth to that. I wonder if I should behave in a more "normal" way, then, even if it's not how I feel I am or what I want to do.
In short, is "degeneracy" a real thing, and should it be avoided?
Or broader, should you be who you are or who you wish you were?
Degeneracy is restrain and is made up. Be yourself and don't be afraid.
bump again
Let your freak flag fly desu.
It might be challenging to find people to assist you with that, but they are certainly out there, and in surprisingly great numbers.

Maybe that's not the mechanism. I feel like I have enough people in my life that support me. It's just that I feel like the world is against me, I'm gross, a slob, scum. It doesn't seem to go beyond that.

it's the literal same thread, I bumped it after I woke up. no complaining on such a slow board
It comes down to whether you're happy being that person or not. If you're proud to be a furry, then let your flag fly, and please don't post in sfw threads. If you enjoy being a furry but don't want to be judged, then just keep it to yourself and enjoy it in your own private time. But if you hate yourself for liking this kind of stuff, then you'll either have to work towards accepting it as a part of who you are, or work even harder to abstain from that kind of content. Eventually, even if you have the preference, you'll be able to confidently say that you're not interested in consuming that content, and that it's not a part of who you are today.
