a good way to let people know your a furry is to have it on your rl face book as well

My parents don't know and my brothers only kind of know I tried the collor thing but my mom yelled at me to take it off because it was "demeaning to woman" she said if I wore it again she would throw it away it has been hanging on a hook in my room ever sense. How do you tell someone like that about being a furry  .

[icy wolf]

you dont need to were a collar to be a furry ... most of us dont where one. i where mine  when iam a lone and iam going to where it when iam with other furs, dont where it around her then hide it from her. mine dont like me wherein one because of how it makes me look according to my mom.  

if you say your a furry then your a furry .. just tell her your a furry show her some art ( if she want to see it) and say this is what beeing a furry is mostly about.

I wore it because it made me feel closer to my scalie side and as far as the hiding it part I had a bad habit of forgetting I was wearing it It's been a while maybe I'll try again

i where mine becuse i feel connected  to my fursona ... with me experance with that parents usealy dont forget something like that. good luck with that. if you want to to know your a furry just ask them if they know what a furry is then explain to them about the art and stuff

[icy wolf]

dont be... the worst they can do is yell at you ( if that) mine didnt know what one was and they asked me a lot of question. be per paired for  questions

[Aklaya]

She's seen my art (if you can call it that) but I think she just thinks I like drawing dragons that happen to look almost human

I don't tell my parents, you know why? Because it's none of their damn business

[Aklaya]

I only want my mom to know so I can wear my furstuff around her without her freaking out.

[Kodachi Devil]

Mine sorta knows. But she doesn't make the connection between anthros = furry.
She thinks it's some creepy kinky fetish =_=

I involuntarily came out of the "furry closet" a few weeks ago. My mom was just like lol you like dressing up as animals and i was like "Uh... not really   " she was fine with it, my dad watches a TON of CSI though so im not gonna tell him  Just gotta tell them what the fandom is REALLY about. 

[Aklaya]

I told my brothers and surprisingly they kinda understood because though they don't get the furry thing they know what it's like to be apart of a group thats hated and misunderstood by the general public. My dad on the other hand just looked at me funny and srugged it off. As far as mom goes I think ima wait a bit.

[icy wolf]

i thought my sister would of made fun of me... she didnt she knows iam a fur and says nothing.... i wonder why ( shes not one though)
