How did you come to terms with who you are?

Honestly at first I had issues with accepting this part of myself at first. I enjoy animals company on many levels other than sexual, and it took me a long time to accept that there's nothing wrong with my attractions either. Especially in the world we live in, it's hard to find acceptance which is why I'm grateful for this community
 
I struggled like hell. I grew up in a VERY conservative household. Between this and some bi tendencies, it was really hard. I've come to accept both as I can't "not be" the sexuality that I am.

I keep both very quiet - but it's who I am.
 
Its what brings me joy without hurting anyone else.
It’s a very simple calculus
I don’t owe anyone else an explanation but I do t need to be in their faces either with my choices and lifestyle

I struggled to begin with, years I tried to push the feelings down. Eventually however I learnt that it’s part of me and it’s what I like, so why should I feel bad about what I like.

I like dogs and that’s that really ?

Couldn’t have said it better
 
Haven't yet, still working on it. Self reflection has been a double edged sword, but chatting with folks here has made some of it start to make sense.

I waited too long to talk to other people, which I do regret, though I will say I think I formulated the basis of a lot of thought and... code maybe, which I think is protecting me from what I think is flawed or biased logic that some people here have around how they view their attraction.

No judgement from me though for most of it, I'm just finding my own relationship to it that's specific to me. Feels good man.
 
I just realized that it was something I was born with and that I couldn't just make it "go away," so it was pointless of me to hate myself for it and beat myself up (figuratively) over it. I also tried to get help for it, through therapy, and that was one of the worst moments of my entire life, I had never hated myself more, I actively had thought of self-harm because society told me that there was something wrong with me and I should feel ashamed of who I was, regardless of if I was born that way. After I accepted it, I had never felt happier in my life, I stopped being depressed, I stopped drinking as much, and I no longer have any thoughts of self-harm. It was the best choice I had ever made.
 
I’ve had many troubles, but that was never one of them. I’m not some weird guy who just transcends humanity to never have any sort of personal hang-ups. I just don’t have that specific one.

I’m fine with me, and nobody else’s acceptance or approval has ever been required. Some people do as they’re told, others do as they please.
