About becoming a furry – Problems

Hello, sorry for this maybe low effort and most probably stupid and uninteresting post. I just need people to reassure me please.

So, here’s the short story : I’m in the process of joining the fandom, but I feel a bit… left out (?)and I struggle feeling unique. Does some of you have… experience?

Long story for those who think it’s necessary or finds it interesting : (I’m male since birth if anybody needs to know) So, during practically my whole childhood until late teenager-hood, I’ve been brainwashed into thinking „ew furries“ or „ew gays“. It has, rather recently (about two years ago), changed, quite a lot even. While having friends, they were also antifurs and still are. But since a year ago, I’ve shown more and more interest to the furry fandom. And I came to the conclusion that I wanted to join it. Not only because, well, I particularly love furry stuff, but because it is a fandom that is very inclusive and open. Here’s my first problem. I support any gender and sexuality, I’m a big supporter of it, actually. The thing is, I’m straight. And yes, of course, I’ve tried to see what other sexualities are like, but I’m straight and that won’t (90% sure, never say never I guess) ever change. Yet, I’ve seen a lot of furries that say a straight furry is only but a myth, and that it’d be very hard to find love if I decide to take that decision. I’ve decided to join this community because it’s a safe place and is inclusive. But I can’t help but feel apart already. I’d appreciate some experience from some of you on that topic.

The next is a little more mundane, but here’s the thing : Every. Body. in this fandom feels so unique. Their own personnality, a lot of creativity, et cetera. But I am not what you may call a unique person, unlike the whole furry fandom. To a point, that it’s been already a full month and I cannot manage to create a fursona that doesn’t already exist. I feel like a NPC.

If some of you could share experience and reassure me a bit, I would be very grateful. I am deeply sorry if I hurt anyone during this. If you want some more details, do not hesitate. Thanks for everyone reading, and have a great day.
