I have seen like 4 or 5 different fluffers over the past week question their self-worth, and I get the emotions, genuinely, but also I desperately need yall to collectively understand that a lot of the fluffers on this server *like* you. As in think you're cool and get happy when they see you're on here.

I absolutely know how that insecurity feels, but there have been plural instances of me seeing, "I don't know if I deserve to be here" and thinking, "wait wtf do u mean?"

@foxyoreos thank you..

This is not directed at any one bean, I can't stress enough that this is a thing I've seen multiple times.

That's also something I want you to understand, the furry experience online is a group of 10 critters sitting in a room enjoying each other's company while simultaneously all thinking at the same time, "fuck I'm blowing this, they hate me."

They don't.

@foxyoreos rejection dysphoria absolutely sucks

@Axel_Hugsky I'm never totally sure how to react when I see fluffers struggling with this because I get it, I really get it, I also get these anxieties. The emotion is real and I'm not trying to trivialize it.

But factually it is bullshit. It's so completely bullshit, it's so bullshit that I promise other fluffers on the outside see it and think "I'm confused, what's going on."

@foxyoreos that's the thing.

It may not be real. But it feels like it..

Anxiety throws all logic out the window.

I suffer from rejection dysphoria greatly. It hurts me physically.

I can fully tell myself it's bullshit. But my brain still goes. But what if it isn't..

@Axel_Hugsky Yeah, there's no switch you can throw to make it turn off, and I didn't want to pretend there is.

It is good to tell yourself it's bullshit though, it's good to at least have that context in your head. But that doesn't make it go away. ><

Anyway, you also seem cool and cute X3

@foxyoreos hey you can't just throw that in there at the end >\\\\\<
