Post anything furry-related, be it artwork, stories, videos, music or whatever else you might find interesting with animal people in it. Scalies, avians, insectoids, synths, aeromorphs and such also appreciated.

i'm a 4/10 artist, a recluse pushing 30, and my natural personality is deeply unpleasant. i want to fix all of that. ideally without openly telling everyone that i'm unpleasant. (i won't express any unpleasantness openly)
shy and reclusive and autistic i can be open about, but i don't want to express it in a way that discourages people from interacting with me.
i've tried joining discords before (without sharing art) and it goes badly. i have nothing to say. furaffinity, obviously, draw some shit and upload it but who wants to look at inoffensive but not-good sfw art? not many probably. that won't get me that far. i need more guidance. how do you talk to people. how do you interact. how do you express interest in being friends without being a creep. how do you respond to comments without being a jerk or weird. what do people do all day. how do i get hobbies and interests i can talk about. how do i express interest in the hobbies and interests of others, which i know nothing about but would like to be talked-at about, without being weird? how do i stop overthinking? how do i be like the other people?
i don't mind being openly left wing but i don't want to talk real politics. my real political opinions are stupid annoying bullshit which frankly, i'd like to unlearn down to the level of the average furry leftist on twitter/bsky.
(frankly, that's all i want to be. well, the average leftist artist, anyway.)
