Don't be afraid of who you are.
If you think you're parents wouldnt care to much, why not just tell them you're a furry?
or slowly ease into it. Testing them with little hints and details and see how they react.

Well... I don't really think that you're scared of being yourself, you're scared of other peoples reaction of it. It's never easy to try to explain things like this, but there are just some things that you are going to have to face sooner or later. It's natural to be scared of other peoples reactions to certain things, which makes it even harder to open up to other people who doesn't have that in common with you. Like me for example, I've had a really hard time telling other people IRL that I'm gay, and the time it takes for the information to sink into the person you've told it to can be really nerve wrecking. It's never easy, but sometimes it really pays off and makes things easier for you.
Although I do not know your parents, I just hope that they can be tolerable of what you really are if you either tell them about yourself, or they happen to stumble upon it by mistake.

Giruuuuuu!

I know how you feel, I haven't told any of my family/friends either, and I don't really know how they'll react if I told them, though it will probably have the words "What's that?" in it, i'm more afraid of them searching online and finding the hate sites then their natural reaction
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died

^same here, ive been easing into it by asking for shirts and hats and such that have furries on them. and paws and then telling them how much i wish i owned a Husky and such. and so far, they are cool with it,but still don't know what a furry is, or that i am one.
