Advice: Telling others about being furry

[Lyssy]

I try to play it off by being adorable in saying that I am furry.  I explain that we aren't always sick freaks and show them the playful and fun side to being furry! I've even confurted a few people.

Anyone else wondering why Abercrombie and Fitch is still a clothing store?

Actually, nevermind. Why they even still exist in general?

I made the test of talking about it to both of my parents (they are divorced and live in separate houses).
My father accepted the fact that I'm a furry, I told him all the good aspects of the fandom, and he was happy about it.
My mum didn't react the same way, she considered it as weird and when I asked her about buying furry accessories/cosplay, she was against the idea.
So, I talked about it to my dad and now I have 2 furry related t-shirts! (Yey)
I'm also planning on buying a tail in June when I've collected enough money.

I wear tails daily everywhere (except in the shower.) and people meow at me .-. I have a rabbit tail and a fox tail. WHERE THE HECK DID they get that I was a cat?

[nixon/monto]

It's a common thing for people to think about cats when you say "furry" well that and fox. (Every time I draw something it's always "is that a fox?" It's so annoying!)

[juliet]

But it isn't a cat hair color!!

[nixon/monto]

Exactly! People right?

[juliet]

Yes!! Darn people!! *julie flips a table and rolls on the floor.*

[nixon/monto]

Your so funny Juliet!

[juliet]

Why thank you, *comes up from behind the table with the weird disguise glasses on. Completed with a mustache.* I do try my best.

[nixon/monto]

Hahahahaha xD stop it I'm dying here! Let's get back on topic. So Julie have your friends been nice about you "being" furry?

[juliet]

My friends are totally fine with me being a furry. They think I'm cute and cuddly. Totally supportive. My mom gave up on trying to stop me and my grandparents are neutral. my tail gets pulled a lot though. By kids I don't know and I've nearly become violent...

[nixon/monto]

Funny how that happens even with teens. I nearly had mine torn off one time, but he totally said sorry. My friends rarely bring it up but it's really cool how they still hang with me! That's what friends are for right?
