and I will not be going. Its the time of year for the local convention. I've though about going a few times, but I probably wouldn't talk to anyone, or go to anything, so I don't see the point.

Why wouldn't you talk to anyone or go to anything? Do you have any local meets? I'm going to my first convention later this month - excited!

Because I don't do well in open ended groups of people. A bit of anxiety mixed with just not knowing how to start conversations with strangers.

I understand that, but I guarantee that a lot of furries are in the same boat! I've found that the only way to improve is to get out there. Assuming that's what you want

I'm sure I'm not the only one. I couldn't tell you what I want.

I've only ever been to Further Confusion and they had a fursuit talent show and other events with fursuiters that were fun to watch (year I went the theme was the Olympics, so they did a bunch of olympic-like games in full fursuits).

I don't know how common that is at other furry conventions. FurCon was great though, and I wanna go again despite never really interacting with anyone other than some merch vendors when buying stuff and hating crowds because of my anxiety.

I'll say walking through to registration was interesting, and when I couldn't register I was more disappointed than I thought I would be, especially because I wasn't all that sure I wanted to go in the first place. I don't think I would have done anything, but just being there was unique.
