Making friends is hard. I understand the feeling of loneliness some might be feeling seeing others in the fandom have "the time of their lives", hanging out with other furries IRL.

I was in a similar boat when I initially joined the fandom back in `2018`. I didn't know a single soul who also had an interest in this as much as I did. My then-existing circle weren't furries themselves, while all of them _were_ roleplayers, this only ever extended to original or existing humanoid characters. So I had nobody to really talk about this with.

What I did back then was join a Discord server called `Couch Furs`, to have some way of socializing with other furries. Through that, I got to know a lot of the other regulars of the server, eventually finding friends and even (ex-)partners through it eventually.
