I was at the (dreaded) lunch tabke and i was sitting at a bench sitting on my legs. There was a person was, like, Hey, you remind me of blablabla anime character! That ended up, that character was a anthro-skunk. I was kike, cool, but thats not really like my fursona. I HAVE NOT SPEAKEN WITH THAT PERSON AGAIN. They avoid e, of all things. Im not sure what to do. Something might have been misconstrued. ...help?

Why do my folks think I have lost my mind for buying a fursuit ?
please help
Well, its not normal, and iam considering too. These suits can averege 2500 for a full suit, and that is an investment that not all people can make. Think of it as yiur friend l8kes gmmes so much he wants to have gnome plastic surgury. It can sound a little extreme.

She's ok with it but thinks its kinds "different" and when I told her about fursuiting she thought it was weirder... I told her that some people go too far and make pr0n but I told her I'm not into that whole part of it. She said she really doesn't understand it and said if I saved for a fursuit she wouldn't object... But where to come up with $1,500.....

Higher quality fursuits can run up to 3000, below, it might be 1500 if you make it yourself.
To come up with that kind of money, save spare change at a start, conserved energy, water electricity etc. Saving up those extra pennies add up.

Well, not being open can cause conflict, for example, what is that desktop picture you have? Situation. That gets awkward the less you talk about it.

Right but you make preparations so when the day comes they see only good and non of that negative stuff. You have the power to prevent awkward moments like that. It's in your complete control.
