Did you ever tell anyone about your fursona?

I was asked if I was a furry, and after a short "Yes" things didn't go much further from there.


Eebeku is the first one to know about it relatively in-depth, and now he's in a Skype group with several other members of TFF, including myself. He's doing just fine.

Nobody has ever asked since I am not the loud and proud sort of furry. I have told a few people, all of which have been fine with it. None of them really care and I don't bother them with details. Mostly it will be already close friends who are talking about furries and then I sneak in all ninja style and say, "oh, by the way..."

It works for me at least. Then again, I don't wear tails or ears all day so maybe that is why it does.

I don't think my friends mind that much, they seem to be coming around to the idea.

I dont remember I kinda told everybody about. Likely my cousin though cause I went to mff like 2 weeks after I found this and she gave me a ride to the airport.  So it would have probably been her

My dad. We aren't friends 100% of the time, but I trusted him, because he's into fantasy as well. It turned out good. He also asked, if I could contribute more info the fandom, which accidentally got me here.

My very best friend, many years ago. She was very understanding. Then my husband. He somewhat understands but I'm not sure how he would feel about my being here.

About my fursona? Not the first person, no.

First person I told was my best friend, whose like a brother to me. I was already in by he middle of coming out as pansexual to him, so I figured "what the hell".

Second person was a girl I had a crush on, she actually surprisingly knew what furries are, and had asked what mine was. And then went on to see what I thought herself could've been if she was a furry.

And those are the only two people to really be told.

Well, besides the person who dragged me into this group/fan base, a best friend knows. She still does. And it's a funny story how it happened and my whole reaction was," well. Shit." So I told her and she was fine with it. I bring it up sometimes just to show her my art or something else I'm working on but she's understanding.
