Learn everything that you can. There are a lot of good resources about Modern Therianthropy across the internet. Be open to advice from others. Be open to asking for information that will help you. Find blogs and articles by other Therians to read and learn from. Don't blindly trust everything that you find. There is a lot of false and misleading information. Cross-reference with other sources if you can.
Be open to receiving questions. Learn the difference between a question meant to help you, and a question that is clearly mean or disrespectful. Most questions from other Therians are to help you think about yourself and your experiences more deeply and from a different point of view. Thinking rationally and critically is important.
Also learn to recognize neutral information. A lot of info is repeated often within the community, but it's very difficult to judge an individual's level of knowledge. If someone repeats the basics to you, there is no need to get angry. You may know the information presented to you, but another person reading the post may not have known about it. Repeating information is not to invalidate you.
