Is it normal to be a furry?

So my boyfriend's suitemate was a furry. This guy was really into foxes and had some obscure beliefs. He thought he was a kitsune. He referred to himself as Grey Fox. He started out seeming nice but then once he started liking me before I dated my boyfriend he would send me really weird texts like "i want to make you my puppet," "I want to wrap my soul around you with pleasure" and other freaky things like that. I also noticed that he was obsessed with spraying lysol. He would go through 3 cans a week! Eventually he started harassing me and other girls on his floor. He also got really jealous once i started dating my boyfriend and would drink himself silly every night. When I went home for winter break i still talked to him but noticed that he got really depressed. He started saying things that concerned me like "i hit little boys" and "there are zombies coming out of the tv". He also got suicidal because he missed his ex. The reason he was so attracted to me was because i reminded him of his ex. Or rather her "energy" was like my "energy" as he put it. I told him to calm down but he never listened to me but it seemed like he was trying to make me mad even though i was just trying to be his friend which I don't understand. So eventually this got the attention of my boyfriend and he told him to stop this and I cut my ties with the furry. After christmas break we ended up calling the cops. He went down with a fight. He threatened to shoot up the school and send a whole bunch of people he knew after us if he was kicked out so we dropped the charges. In the hearing this guy who looked like Dumbledore put his actions into words "So he thinks he's a fox spirit and uses this to impose himself on others.?" I was wondering if anybody knew what might have been wrong with him or if other furries act like this. Or in general how other furries act because I have only met the one and I don't want to judge a whole group based on one weird bad apple.

    Ummm.... I'm a furry, and I've never met anyone who acted like that. @.@ There are some people who believe they have animal souls, they call themselves Otherkin or Therians.

    This guy sounds insane. Like, in the I'm not qualified to attempt to understand way.

      Yeah he also thought there was a fox spirit in him. Like he would literally say things like "as a fox I have no concept of human niceties. But he took it to the extreme and decided to act sly and twist his words said that he "kicks up drama and pretended like he didnt know was how he copes." One thing that really creeped me out was "*I lean in and whisper into your ear* If you wish to run, rabbit, that would be fun too." He's said countless weird stuff to me that I think should only be used in horror films.

        Oh god. D: Hmm, could be delusional? Or, more plausible, was unhappy with the way his life was going and now he's just immersed himself in a world of fantasy to the point of denying who he really is.

        Still, that's so creepy. D: I don't know if that's just a serious lack of social skills or what, but who says shit like that? ._. Might wanna get an extra lock on your doors... haha.

    yeah, most furries dont act like that. theyre are many different kinds, and outside of the fandom, the majority are completley normal, you usually wont be able to tell that a person is a furry just by looking at them. that guy would be part of the 1 percent of 1 percent of the fandom. otherkin and therianthropes are way out there.

    both actually believe they are a certian animal (therianthrope), or a mythical creature, like an elf(otherkin).
