    Prone to overheating
    Uppies? Please pick me up!
    Please hug me! cuddle
    Overwhelmed easily
    Social anxiety - please be patient
    I don't know what pronoun badge to pick screm-aaaaa (I know my flair says "any" but what it really means is "there's a pronoun that makes me happier to hear but I'm too chickenshit to ask for it")

    One time when I was super depressed I randomly ran into a fursuiter in public and they gave me a big hug and a piece of candy and it really cheered me up, at least for that day. Honestly makes me tear up just thinking about it. It's amazing what a difference a simple gesture of connection and kindness can make when you're feeling so utterly alone and alienated.

      my kid went to a con a while back, in a homemade fursuit & i think it genuinely changed their life. folks wanting to take pictures of / with them gave them confidence & many hugs were had.
