MAKING FURRY FRIENDS [The Bottle Ep19]

[@PocariRoo]

and dont forget if you cant find any meets...YOU CAN MAKE ONE! Pick a place that is easy to get to (accessible by public transport, close parking, etc), check whether or not the place will allow suits (make sure you let everyone know its a non suiting meet if not!!), pick a date and time and how often it will occur, and then post it in a group for your state or country's Furries! Here's some ideas for you: - Public park BBQ (great for suits!) - Bowling (ring them for suit permission) - Mall (NO SUITS!) - Ice skating (expensive but great for a monthly thing!)

[@shadowthewolf38aj28]

Pocari Roo Hi pocari! I'm a huge fan of your channel! You inspired me to make my own soda roo:) I watch your videos every day! I sometimes watch the same video over and over again. I love you videos Pocari:))) I am lesbian too I'm kinda scared to tell my parents.

[@RenFuwaFuwa]

Pocari Roo i know thats a thing but the furries in my country is so rare that no one do a furmeet (maybe they are but the last time i check was on 2015), most of em go to another country nearby that have a con XD

[@johnmann6859]

Facebook has silly rules about profiles for fictional characters, which does include fursonas. You can normally go unnoticed by Facebook, but the supported way is to make a "Page" for the fursona. Of course you're supposed to use your real account to set up and manage the page, so I'm not sure what level of shielding your name gets there. I wish they'd just relax and officially let us make profiles for whatever we want.

[@Woven_Jackalope]

Raven Snowfall I actually had someone flag my name for not being my actual name on my furry account, Facebook only asked to confirm that this was a name I am known by, seeing as all my furry friends know me by it, I kept it as my sona name

[@thylascream]

i met my two closest furry friends through school! i recently moved to a cool arts academy and as people quickly found out i was a furry they introduced me to the other furry in the grade. we quickly hit it off and from there he introduced me to skye, as she graduated from there the year before us. those two managed to get me going to sbfm and i've built up a pretty solid amount of fur friends from there. my younger self would be proud aha

[@cloudss137]

Winnie Your future is stronger than mine XD ;(

[@trumpet_goat]

I have met quite a few people by joining art streams. I get to talk with people without meeting them face to face right away so I don't feel as nervous. You also get to watch artists work in the meantime and that is pretty cool too.

[@danielcurren2119]

I know from personal experience that making friends (of any kind) is extremely difficult. I couldn't recall how many times that I've embarrassed myself just trying to get someone to hang out. But, from those embarrassments, I learned how to be a better friend overall and have gained some really cool companions that I still hang with to this day.

[@someforgottenperson1524]

one day I was walking out of class, and I said "woah, I feel light headed", then blacked out. Apparently I fell and smacked my head on the metal pole railing, and when I woke up, a kid walked me down to the office. I got to know him better and eventually met the rest of his friends, who were also furries. *To think it started with a blackout*

[@yourlocalh2o206]

I think I'm the only kid in my school who wants time to go by so I can move out, get a job and get a fursuit...

RB Fernandes Oh shit that is like worst case scenario

[@kittendragon5487]

I just joined the fandom a few days ago. So I haven't met anyone in it yet, nor do I have a fursona. I would like to one day though, but with my health issues going out in public to conventions is very hard for me. I would also like a fursuit, but I would never be able to wear it due to the health issues, and I know the creators love to see there work out and about. So I've decided to try my hand at making them instead. I'm very good with art and I enjoy sewing so I hope I can make some suits people will enjoy in the near future.

[@keego3917]

I'm one of 4 furries that I know in my grade. One of them is in denial of being a furry and I am determined to make them a furry.

[@Ilovesoupdumplings]

I. am. socially. awkward. I’m so loud and a total chatterbox so it’s hard to even go out with my family because people listen to me.. Also, I hate making speeches especially in front of my classmates- It makes me sad that our teachers just immediately expect us to be confident and outgoing because we’re young :( No one really listens to me and when I’m sad they don’t believe me which makes me even more sad. I don’t like leaving shops without buying something. I don’t like asking to cashiers for something, because last time I did that I payed for the wrong thing. I want hugs :)

[@KonKer-gaming]

can I get a like from pocari please

[@grug-fz5rt]

[@Vampxyzz]

I met one of my friends in the fandom by scrolling on Tiktok watching they’re content. A few months later I met her on amino and now we are homies lol

[@lightsaflame4505]

I met my friends at some Georgia fur meets I wont lie I really sat on the sidelines the first time I went to one. But the next few times I worked up the nerve to really speak and met some amazing people and now we chat and hang out during cons and such, doing all of the rumping around in suit its really great 💘

[@nekosheken4410]

Bold of you to assume my anxiety will let me go up to anybody I just went onto furry amino and it was the best choice I've ever consciously made

[@InsaneDragoniteHD]

This is an extremely well made video for furries looking on ways to make friends in the fandom! I have been a furry for 5 years,but I didnt majorly involved until 2-3 years ago. There was a Telegram group that I joined for furs at my uni,and I Met several friends through that. and One piece of advice for you guys from me : Don't do small talk very often. From my Experience, a lot of people online, and sometimes irl will generally ignore People who try small talk all the time. Most People want to have a real Conversation, Not just hi,how are you? Again,amazing video Pocari!

[@ClownieFace]

I learn more from The Bottle than I do from school

[@xxfishsticksxx6592]

I have realised yes, this video is 4 years old…but if anyone is still hanging around now, how do I meet other furries as a “YOUNG FUR” I’m planning to go to a con next year, but all this stuff is making me think it’s easier if I’m older suiters age. Like if they are 20 and I’m not even 14, how do interact with them in a cool way? I’m very socially awkward, may seem like and easy thing for some people, but not…really for me….

[@Ivy_mew]

Yeah, it's kinda the same for me... it double sucks because my entire family hates furries and if i try to defend them then my mum will probably just ban my devices or smthn.

[@beylaloops2287]

you are my absolute favorite furry youtuber! im actually commissioning my fursuit from "more fur less" and im just getting the head and feet paws! but im just glad im getting mine were you got your AMAZING suit!!❤

[@TaijeyClawy]

Sad truth: I've had someone constantly ask to be my friend and declare that they were friends with "someone popular" without my agreement and when I ignored them they threatened to murder me over Twitter. I wasn't looking for new friends or anything and after that happened I'd been apprehensive about meeting new folks for a while. What I'm saying is that there's a right way and a wrong way to become friends with folks.

[@remmie8086]

Ive always been sort of a . . . low key furry? I wasn't associated with the furry fandom in terms of being an active member in the community, but I've always drawn them here and there, seen some fursuits occasionally and thought they were cool. It wasn't until earlier this past school year l that I made a new really good friend, and with him, came a whole group of friends. All of them are furries, which finally motivated me to become a huge furry fan and become a very active member in the community -- I'm even making my first fursuit and designed my first fursona. Words can't describe how good this community is. Sure it has its bad bullies and overall not nice people, but so far all I've been subjected to is helpfulness, care, immense creativity, and fun! This fandom is truly something amazing.

[@Feralfloofster]

Remember if you can’t find a furry friend, convert your friends into furries

[@nihao123456ftw]

Having social anxiety and being an introvert at the same time whilst having no friends really sucks. I used to be like that for a while but I have now managed to make a few furry friends :D i find it a lot easier if you chat to people online first so things are less awkward before meeting them IRL although i still cant really socialise for as long as others can go for without needing to take a break, i definitely feel less anxious around people than I used to!

[@Nyxia.Creations]

I have pretty bad social anxiety so when I used to go to furmeets I got incredibly anxious and ended up leaving early because I just simply couldn't stand all the people there. All this changed when I got my fursuit because I realised that they can't see my face so I can go as red as my body wants me to and I can make little terrified faces and they don't even know! My fursuit has completely changed my anxiety and I don't get as anxious as I used to even without my suit.

[@Michelle-nh2lj]

I'm new in this community, in sad I didn't find it sooner!! You guys are so awesome!

[@tahliagrant1142]

I met my only furry friend irl because of fate. I was at an archery club, and there was a human there the same age as me. We both loved memes so we got talking, then my sister meets the kid as well, they get talking. Kid tells sister that he's a furry, and my sister's like "omg my sister is a furry too", so BAM WE HAD EVEN MORE TOPIC. I end up designing his fursona as he was struggling with it, and we are such good fwends now :3 I also got to meet his younger brother who I always liek to chase around and tease with cuddles uwu

[@luxzartheglorious]

I needed to here that song after what happend this week, it speaks to me.

[@UNSCPILOT]

Amusingly, I found my way onto Second life and a Fallout Equestria (Fallout + My Little Pony) RP server entirely by accident, made friends, had fun and was rapidly made into a fan of the furry fandom in general, even with that server having gone down most of us still hang out in Discord and goof around in games and such or hanging out in SL. And yes, Fallout Equestria is just as strange as it sounds, but it was a really fun setting to play around with, both due to the juxtaposition of cute ponies in a grim post-apocalypse, and the mix of tech and magic in ways that were quite enjoyable to tinker around with, it's kinda thinned out though, that was at it's height back in 2012.

[@RavenGaming]

I met most of my furry friends online, there are lots of chat rooms you can find if you just search for them. Furmeet like Pocari said are another great way to meet local furs in your area, though they could possible be a few hours away depending on where you live.

[@morethanwords8882]

[@crimsong_shep6449]

I was literally just going to ask you this! Seriously needed this right now thank you so much! I was gonna try to make a discord for anyone who wants to join and talk and play games, still a work in progress but I think it's a good idea

[@CrazedUva]

thinking of this. it reminded me of my fursuit maker! we started out as just talking about the commission but then we added each other on discord and starting chatting a bit and then we became friends, and we had our first call! and now we are both so close and always talk to each other every day and i wouldn't trade our friendship for anything.

[@sheinaragners]

im pretty social awkward so i rather meet ppl online and only then decide if i want/can to meet them irl

[@Michantangelcat]

I actually found out about my current furry community through friends at my school's anime club while I was in university! Many furs are also active in other places where geeky people congregate, like gaming meets, anime/comic/sci-fi conventions, D&D and other tabletop gaming groups... I've even met furs at LARPs, lol! Also, check out Southern Furries if you live in Mississippi, and Louisiana Furries if you live there! I'm part of both and they are SUPER nice! Lastly, love the "hoedown" reference from "Whose Line," Pocari!

[@gooeyark9838]

For being a closet fur the past couple years of my life and finally coming out as of late I find this video quite comforting. Thank you for the tips! I really wish I could go to meets and fur cons but working a fulltime job punishes me physically and mentally so I barely get the time :c

[@sehb196]

Ahhhhh! >w< I'm so glad this actually gave examples of what to bring up, rather than just 'go talk to people'. I'm better about it now, but when I was younger that advice really would confuse me, because I didn't understand what to talk about. Usually ended up saying hi and them immediately jumping into a conversation about dinosaurs or the like. I dunno. Just wanted to say I thought that was really nice, since I've not actually seen anybody think more into it when giving advice, and the examples were just pretty helpful.

[@SmallishPoppy6]

I only have one true furry friend. I met him not knowing but my sister talked about how I was the only fury in the group but the guy said he was too. (Keeping him nameless for protection stuff)

[@incandescentadolescents1889]

Sydney McEuen TELL ME!!!

[@StarlightAkari]

Love you Pocari! 💜 I'm still not sure what to do. I can talk to strangers at anime cons, downtown, in an airport, I've been on stage, etc, and I adore my online furry friends! but when it comes to the people in the furry fandom I get... intimidated for some reason? I have no idea why this is. The fandom has been part of my life for at least eight years now but talking to other furries at meets and such is still strange to me. Been to both meets and cons and never can feel engaging enough. And I always think that there are precreated friend groups since people usually dont come to these events alone and I'm afraid of bothering people. I always feel "lower" than everybody else. I don't have this problem anywhere else so I don't know a good solution to this... Any ideas? I would really love to enjoy something like Anthrocon next year!!

She kept asking for requests and then another girl came in asking me to draw hers, and i did. Then we all started making art of each other and became friends :D One of them isnt active anymore, idk why, but the other is vary nice and i posted my "fursuit" (everything from amazon) and she loved it and thought it was so cool, then i told her about u, and she found out about fursuits, and etc, then fell in love with dutchies xD But yea, we r still good friends today,

oh boy. personally if people ask me to do free art or to draw them. Which when someone asks "can you draw me?"

[@nataliewyatt4258]

I only have 1 furry friend as of right now and it was a random encounter. I started volunteering at my local animal shelter and there was a girl there named (we will call her Ann) Ann. And one day I was washing the food bowls in the kitchen and she had came back for lunch and somehow we had started talking and the mention of furries came up and we both realized that we were both furries. So now we hang all the time and we are actually making our first fursuits together.

[@SockyNoob]

The part about making friends naturally definitely is the best way to make friends.

[@Quaver_0316]

The way I made furry friends is by someone inviting me to a local meet back in December. I had just gotten my partial and had been interested in making friends. well a friend of mine invited me to this meet. I didn't know what to expect but I went and made so many furry friends. Now I attend their meets every month and it has been an amazing experience in the community. I also am going to the groups convention October 6th through 8th in San Antonio, Texas, USA.

[@thetabeta9821]

Great video, loved all the information! Another place you could also find potential meets / events is on the Australian Furry Amino community ^_^

[@Zeldanigma]

Thank you, Pocari. I've been asking myself those questions you mentioned. I'll be on the look out for more meets, and I won't be afraid to go!

[@AstraPlanetshine]

i have been furry for 6 years now. I have noticed that you end up going through 50 or so people and friends before you find the few that you really love and get along with, most often people will ignore you out of nowhere or just kinda fall away, and that's ok i guess. never made friends with any local furies really. i have tried to get to know my local community online before i go to a meet, and i am kinda afraid of meeting some pretty messed up people. so it never really worked out. and yeah, i am too shy and awkward to go to any meets alone. so oh well that is out for me, but it's ok. ^^ Another thing i have noticed is when i try to go out of my way to make friends it never really works out, most of my friends have found me instead. i'm not sure if anyone ells has had the same experience? maybe i don't really resonate with a lot of furries being into partying and drinking a lot, something I'm not really into. i would rather have a deep conversation and enjoy some down to earth stuff and share creativity and hugs. but who knows. = ) good luck finding friends if you are looking, you will find them, don't worry. just keep trying. even if it takes a few years ^^

[@joshuablanchard1531]

[@TheCarmenStar]

I *really* want to go to a furry meet, but my parents won't let me for two reasons: 1) Its halfway across the state. 2) "We don't want you around other 'furries'. You know we don't like the fandom." (Thats a direct quote) My parents have only seen the bad side of the fandom and have applied it to the rest of it. :( The only reason they're letting me be in it and have a fursuit is because they said I can't publicly classify myself as a furry or call the fursuit a fursuit. Any tips for being in this situation?

[@penzoticamachine-o5731]

Nice video, keep up with the amazing work! I love you Pocari!

[@sofia-tf7cg]

got into the fandom through a wonderful friend. well, i was in it a year back but dropped oit due to bullying. i don't really care anymore though so i'm going to go make fursuits again thanks to her influence

Yes that first step is always very hard for me when meeting new people or meeting people you only know from the internet. I always tend to take a while to work up courage to say hi. I'm getting better at it though I hope.

[@Insanitypup]

its super hard to make local furry friends like in my city. bc the admin of the only online group for the city is very spiteful and "bans" people over personal reasons. lol. like im "banned" from the furmeets he hosts and from the online group, bc i told him him he was not a great admin for saying "if you are getting harassed by group members its not my problem" he was going to let me back in, but then me and another fur in that group went through a break up so im permanently banned to avoid making in "uncomfortable" i have 3 local close furry friends, and i public fursuit and go to the yearly public meets still. but really people in this city are REALLY spiteful and rude so i prefer online furry friends haha.

[@Gr3mlinfloof]

I have social anxiety and I don’t think fur meets would help me much until I over come my anxiety :)

[@mythicalpythium]

For anyone interested, I met my own close furry friend through playing a game. It was a full coincidence that she too was a furry but we are extremely close together in how we act and how close we are personality wise it's actually kinda, scary XD Naturally we clicked together and we've been good friends for at least a year now! So yes, sharing common interests is a great way to find good friends, but not the only way~

[@TaijeyClawy]

As to how I made friends, well I had done an art trade with a certain green folf when he was new to the fandom and we had started to chat idley on Twitter and before long we discovered that we lived in the same city. Eventually we would show up in each other's art streams and he actually introduced me to a friend of his that would become my boyfriend a few years later. To this day we still joke about that art trade we did so many years ago XD

I had amino but then my brother found it on my phone made me delete my account and told my mom (I didn't make a new account because now they go through my phone every day and I feel so sad because I had a lot of freinds on amino and now I can't talk to them) and now they (my mom and brother my dad left when I was younger) aren't comfortable around me because they only know about the bad part of the fandom and won't let me explain the fact that the bad side is a minority in the fandom and I only know like two other furries in real life

My country is small and its kinda helpful. The furries here made a groupchat and they find as many furries as possible and add them to the chat. We even have a con called "unicon" and we meet up there. I love the fact that most of the furries here are my friends :)

I met one of my best friends at this anime convention I visited few years ago. We went to the same college but we hardly ever talked to each other, so it was kind of awkward at first. :'D But since we met at the conention and started talking, we became friends! And later we both joined the furry fandom, together! So, yeah.. Conventions and meets are a great way to make friends!

Hello. I do have to say I absolutely love your videos. They are always full of great advice. If you ever do come over to the US, around Arizona. I would love to meet you one day.

story of how I met my best furry friend: I run a fursuit maker page on instagram and I had someone ask for a trade for my sockpaws (which are very popular. I really have to make more.) Like I have to be honest. The fursuit head she was offering wasn't the best, and she was a stranger so I declined. I did end up advertising her head being up for sale/trade on my personality ig tho. afrerwards we had small conversations here and there and one day she asks "Hey can I draw your character?" and I said okay and even offered an art trade which she gladly accepted. From there we nust started becoming closer and closer friends, and now we have a whoke universe where our fursonas and Oc's live in (as well as several to 3dgy 4 me AUs becuase where dorks) So yeah. Another way to make a friend is to hit up a new fursuit maker with a trade, have them decline, and then make them art.
