   FURRIES:

   I'm sorry to be basic af but I have a weird question.

   All my life, when I've met people, I've seen them as them but also as animal personas. In a very fixed way?

   Does that make sense? I've heard synaesthetic people say similar about certain words or numbers being always the same colour.

   So, my question is: do you have this? Is this how you knew the furry side of you?

   Apologies in advance if I have offended anyone or asked taboo things, I am very ignorant!

     @Jyoti not a furry here but I see people as either pigs, dogs or monkeys. Occasionally I see a squirrel.

     @Jyoti it's not really at the surface of my cognitive process I don't think. If I think about the people I know they readily fall into the categories. Sometimes I'm just in the street and see the people I'm passing and think ooh pig oh dog oh definitely pig and so on and most other times it just isn't there. I've never thought about people changing. Maybe they have? Hmm.

     @botvolution

     That's fascinating, thank you!

     Do they ever change? And if they do, what brings it on?
