Advice: Telling others about being furry

[Kovume]

I say that is a very good idea moonwolf I was around my best friend when I came out as furry it was hard for me to because I was new to it and I new I was different but did not know what way. I was also struggling to come out of the closet and be excepted in that way as well. I hope it all works out for you moonwolf and know you have friends on here that are willing to help you in your life.

Once I met another furry at a hookah lounge, and simultaneously found out my best friend liked furry art, it suddenly felt less strange to be a furry. After that I would just put furry art as my background on my phone, and when someone asked about it, I'd just casually be like 'oh yeah its a thing I'm into.' I treated it as just another hobby or fun fact about it. I found the less I acted like it was a big deal, the better the reaction was. My worst reaction was "I know someone that likes that stuff, but to me its just like meh, I don't really get it." It hasn't changed anyone's opinion of me.

I don't like coming out saying to people I'm a furry. I wear accessories and t-shirts to let them guess.
I do the same thing with other things I like, for example MLP. But also depending on the person, I'll answer yes or no.

I just was scrolling through memes on my phone, and up came my fursona. He didn't say he hated it, but he had a kind of omg lol no reaction. I asked him if he didn't like furries, and he said no. Judging from the way he didn't want to explain WHY, I'm guessing that this is another example of how we are completely inaccurately viewed as perverts who love odd mutated animal porn. I blame tumblr.

So I need help with getting my friends to understand what a furry is.

I mean sure, some people like it. That's cool. But don't judge. I mean if different sexualities can watch different kinds of porn without being viewed entirely as that, why can't it exist for us?

A lot of people in Enlgand just are like:
"Ha, what a knob."
And that is that! I suppose it's better than being continuously harassed and discriminated, instead of that just a one off comment of "What a knob." hehehe...
