Between my general health functions, somewhat generalized anxiety, lack of wanting to stand in a chaotic line just to be hot and have to go to headless right away... It shouldn't be a crutch but it was. I realize that a lot...

Now it's an age barrier to too that trips me up

Fursuiting in general at least before brought people to me. I didn't have to force a conversation. I am OK at holding one but damn it if I start talking sometimes I am the anchor on a long chain... Not stuck like glue but I'll keep coming back.

As I was just talking to someone who I known much of that time. I'm great with old friends, people I work with. Some days I can't process my own words even though I'm thinking them. But new people in groups ... I'm the quiet guy.

Fursuiting helped bridge the gap. Now it's hard to do for an hour.

Thankful for seeing old friends. Really enjoy making a couple new ones. Though one was kinda a new one having met in passing at meets 5 years back.

A good experience. New hotel. Things keep shifting while much stays the same .

I don't like to cling to people or a group but does make it more fun. Even it it is watching the crowd walk by.

But as introverted as I can be I am very adapt. I become as annoying as others let me.

Well either I fill my time in service of others or I find others that I can spend my time. I don't like to volunteer for random jobs.

I find it much more difficult to interact with others, even more so than forcing myself to back in 2012.
