??? Hello fellow furries!!!
I am really scared!!!
My Mom and my family doesn't know I'm furry and they almost caught on FF!!!
I was so scared I was shaking!!!
Why am I scared of being Myself?!?!?!?! :th_PyongLlora:

Don't be afraid of who you are.
If you think you're parents wouldnt care to much, why not just tell them you're a furry?
or slowly ease into it. Testing them with little hints and details and see how they react.
-
Well... I don't really think that you're scared of being yourself, you're scared of other peoples reaction of it. It's never easy to try to explain things like this, but there are just some things that you are going to have to face sooner or later. It's natural to be scared of other peoples reactions to certain things, which makes it even harder to open up to other people who doesn't have that in common with you. Like me for example, I've had a really hard time telling other people IRL that I'm gay, and the time it takes for the information to sink into the person you've told it to can be really nerve wrecking. It's never easy, but sometimes it really pays off and makes things easier for you.
Although I do not know your parents, I just hope that they can be tolerable of what you really are if you either tell them about yourself, or they happen to stumble upon it by mistake.

I know how you feel, I haven't told any of my family/friends either, and I don't really know how they'll react if I told them, though it will probably have the words "What's that?" in it, i'm more afraid of them searching online and finding the hate sites then their natural reaction
-
^same here, ive been easing into it by asking for shirts and hats and such that have furries on them. and paws and then telling them how much i wish i owned a Husky and such. and so far, they are cool with it,but still don't know what a furry is, or that i am one.
-
I decided to start giving little hints....
I hope they don't hate me or judge me.....
My mom already knows I really love wolves and such.
-
wulf has kept it a secret and wulf will keep it a secret, I couldnt chance it
-

erg. yeah, not allowed to talk about. lol yiff == a type of, um... lol just PM me

Don't be afraid to be yourself, in fact I had the same problem, I kept it a secret for 2 or 3 until I spilled my guts to a friend in private, I recommend you tell your closest friend when you feel the time is right. Take it from me yiff is not something you want to get into, it can make your life terrible, worrying about if your parents will catch you looking at it. My parents finally found some of the yiff stuff and it was not pretty, I felt like crap for a few days, I couldn't even look my dad in the eye.
-
I told my girlfriend and she said I can be whatver as long as I don't bite her!!!
AROOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
-
I told my friend the same thing.
-
My family already has the wrong idea about furries, so if I told them, they'd just jump to conclusions. So I keep it secret and plan to keep doing so. I just deal with it. *shrugs*
-
the reason why people are scared to admit to being a furry is because the wrong side of the fandom is highlighted.. -if- you feel like you have to tell your parents/friends/other familiars i suggest slowly giving them some info about it (though dont just sit down to speak out, that's not gonna work) unless your parents are already familiar with the furry fandom as a lifestyle, rather than a fetish.. in that case, it probably won't be a big deal to them.
-
I know how you feel nobody in real life that I know, family and other, knows Im a furry. I'm scared to tell them because they always laugh and make lewd comments whenever such things come up on TV. Your not a lone out there. I'm proud to be a furry, but I also love my family Id hate to create strife. Sometimes its better to keep secrets
-
^_^V
My sister knows I am a furry and she was like"thats kinda cool...what is a furry?"
and i described it to her then I was like furry pride!! :)
-
Very nice glad to hear you are making progress. I myself am keeping it a secret from my parents however my closest friend knows I am a furry and after that he said he was a feline furry. So you never know how people will react.

I think my sis is an otter and my bro is an orca
