This may sound a bit dumb but I genuinely have an issue here.

I've been a furry for about 10 years, and it matters a lot to me. I love to portray myself as my fursona, I love to make furry art and I love making/wearing fursuits. I guess I am very passionate about it and it is sort of a lifestyle thing for me, not JUST a hobby.

However I struggle finding a balance between "i am furry" and "i am just some person". For most people being a furry is just a normal hobby but I just can't find the balance between this and the other stuff I enjoy. I either go full-in on the fandom or I don't at all, because I feel like it doesn't mix with my other interests. (mainly punk subculture and such, where furries don't really seem to be very represented.) Also I just love being myself without identifying myself with my sona. I'm so conflicted.

I'm currently in a process of figuring myself out, which is why I ask this. On one hand I love being dog person, but I don't really want to present myself as that all the time... but at the same time I want to meet like-minded people. Agh.

I hope this doesn't sound ridiculous and someone could share their opinion!
