i can accept myself?

[inubuns]

Hello to anyone choosing to read this.

After years of contemplation and internal strife, I've finally ripped off the bandaid and gotten around to making this an account on this forum.

It's validating to know I'm not the only one out there who's dealing with coming around to accepting their self – I hope to, with time, come to accept my identity as being a Zoophile.

Reading about some of the experiences others have and are having on the journey of self-acceptance makes me feel a lot less lonelier.

It's feels good to have found an accepting space with resources and support for people like myself who are coming to terms with this identity.

I understand, I myself ripped the bandaid off (anxiety and social anxiety) because I'm primarily asexual for humans but BI for animals and wanted to start talking with other Zoo's

I have a similar experience and it's better just embracing who you are

Your post sounds so familiar. The forum is such a good resource for finding the ability to accept this part of yourself. Knowing I was not the only person with these feelings made that acceptance easier to find. I was in my early 30s before I could actually say I was a zoophile, and even though I am not able to really be open with it in person, it did help me feel more at peace in my own head.
