This.
I'm the only person in my extended family who has an artistic/creative personality. Fitting in in a small midwestern city was not an option. I find a few friends in college for a while but graduation separated us.
Fortunately, the internet made finding a community to belong possible. Since joining the furry fandom, I haven't been wanting for a place to belong.

The furry community is most of the reason I'm holding on these days. Support at a few key moments from Suspiciously Wealthy Furries (not really suspicious, just employed in tech) helped get my life sort of on track.
