Advice: Telling others about being furry

[icy wolf]

you dont need to where a collar to be a furry . just say you line anrtho to your dad.

well if you REALLY feel you absolutely must tell them your a furry, let them guess..or ask.
just start wearing collars and such and they will ask you what its all about..then you reply "oh, its my collar. im a furry..see"

and let it go from there, any questions they have they will ask..and if they dont care they will just say "oh.."

you don't need to start telling people. my personal view on it is, i don't tell anyone, but if they ask, why lie? I'll just say yes and leave it at that

[Derik1994]

Yeah I was thinking of doing that.

But I just kinda wish there was another furry at my school to talk to an hang out with....... 
I kinda feel lonely :'(

there might be, you would be surprised who is a furry. I've found furries whom i never expected to be furry. just cast around,you might find someone

[icy wolf]

do what i do. post your fursona's name on as your middle name on facebook and put in the discrption your a furry. you can also use web sites to find some of us, i did and found a fur at my collage but different campass; he even when to the same high school.

I think most of us feel lonely.. I'd love to find another furry near me..  I had one and it was amazing, but when we ended things, our friendship fizzled out too ..  And now im back to being lonely...

As for wearing a collar..  I wear mine 24/7..  However, I'm staying with my parents for a week..  And its sat on the shelf..   I feel weird without it..  but i cant introduce it to my parents..  Even though me and mum watched a thing on furries and she said she'd like to try it lol.. I still couldnt tell her... ...

Telling people... Hmmm.. thats a difficult one to be honest... I've told a few people... But I suppose its easier because I explain it as Yiff first... I dont know how to go about it any other way! ...

As most of you already know, my mother watched the fur interviews on 'OMG with peaches'.. So of course, she now thinks she knows what a furry is...
I just mentioned the topic on here about whether catwoman is a fur or not..
mother said that catwoman cant be a fur because she's not furry.. and then people on the tv were all loving and furry!
Oh no!! I think the people who went on the tv have given the world a very wrong view of furries!
hehe.. Bless my mother.. I may need to introduce her to this properly..
How do i go about this?  Any ideas?? lol..
Its easier to change someones opinion when they think we're evil..
but someone who thinks were just cuddly lol!!

just explain that Tv is for entertainment and will stretch the truth to do so. Then explain what a furry really is.

[MinxKitty]

I've tried.. She doesnt seem to get it.. I've also tried to explain the difference between the Furry side and the porn/yiff side... She just thinks its all some big joke
I hate tv!!

Print this for her.

[MinxKitty]

Showed her... She gets it more now.. She wants a full fur suit.. She says she'd feel uncomfortable otherwise... She's not true furry, she's just jumping on the bandwagon... lol...
gotta love parents right!
