Title: Conflict waiting to happen
Post by: Kindran Ornitier on October 29, 2009, 01:13:37 AM
Well my older brother that I look up to a lot is apparently a troll and doesn't know about me being a fur. When I was visiting him over the summer he straight out told me, "Stay away from furries Markus, there is something wrong with them." Note he said this after I said something about having friends who were furry. I don't know what to do or say. If I tell him, he's sure to go to my parents who can't stand anything not considered "normal" I need help with this, bad.

That can be a big problem :o

Well, the best advice i can give is to just keep it for yourself and your friends...

wait it out, get stronger, and then bite the bullet and tell them. Let them grow up and realise that you are who you are. You would probably need to learn some things too.

The best advice I can give you is if you do decide to let it be known, its probably best you tell your parents first that way you can explain it to them without all the added drama and hassle of your misinformed brother. However it is not something that needs be known unless you plan on parading around in furry regalia. Sometimes patience can have its virtue, you never know when a more ideal situation might arise that would make it worlds easier to reveal.

The only reason I would really want it known is so no one would wonder why I am going to Pennsylvania for a road trip right before I go off to college. It sounds stupid I know, but my brother is the one who made me want to be a chef and I can't just keep secrets from him even though I never see him anymore. Sorry for the random jumbled thoughts it's really hard to think right now.
