I am new to this whole thing and hoping I can talk with some people!
Hello, Welcome. I'm quite new on this site and have had animal companions for quite awhile. I'm open to talking, if you want to.I am new to this whole thing and hoping I can talk with some people!
Wow, that must have been a hard thing for you to transition too at the time. I hope you had someone to talk to about itI am 38 years old and I was active with animals as young as 12 years old, but I didn't realize it until I was in my twenties that I was exclusively attracted to animals over ppl. Being so young it was just sexual experience that I reveled in. So it took years for me to understand and accept that I was more attracted to them.
I was alone. But I struggled through it and had to overcome a lot of confusion/self-deprecation, then after some self reflection on what ppl brought to my life and whether it was toxic or beneficial. I made the decision to write about my feelings and desires, (It was my therapy) I started focusing on my companions love and started emotionally distancing myself from those I was completely sure would never accept me for being a Zoo. I would eventually start finding other Zoo's online, but none really stuck around long enough to get to know me. When it became evident that I was not going to share animals, videos & pics with these ppl. I was no longer worthy of their time and sadly, to those that were serious Zoo's. I wasn't worthy of their attention, a lot of the serious Zoo's seemed a bit high and mighty. I often got the feeling that they wanted me to feel appreciative of being apart of their site/community, so I would abandon those sites and move to find others. Here I've talked with a few ppl so far that seem like they are up for a good friendship. I'm taking things quite slow and trying to be as serious about the lifestyle as I can. I admit fully that as far as being apart of a community, I am a newbie and a rookie or even a novice. But I am willing to learn the etiquette, guidelines, rules and customs, I am open-minded, I try to be honest as possible and accepting of everyone's ways, views and beliefs.Wow, that must have been a hard thing for you to transition too at the time. I hope you had someone to talk to about it
