I'm afraid to tell anyone else. Although it is hard to stop some of it. Like growling and biting and subconciously trying to wag my tail. It is hard when you know they will judge you.

I...wont usually tell people very much unless somehow the subject is bought up, or the person seems like they'd be allright with it all.

And then other times I find myself saying... too much about everything... even to people I hardly know...

Never told anyone...but then again, most kids at my school probably wouldn't believe me even if I did.  My charisma seems to put them off-guard...some of 'em even think I bite.  Heh heh.  Irony is an art form sometimes.
My feet are on the ground and my head's firmly on my shoulders.  What more could I possibly want?

I'm not outward about it (deliberately anyway) but my fursona is me, my wereform as TigerWiccan put it, so it's always there under the surface, a tension or a skewed reaction to something that doesn't quite come off as human - no one really cares around me tho, I've always been seen as kinda strange anyway, but until people get to know me they usually think I'm scary anyhow - I guess my predatory nature shows thru my human skin lol

Hmm...besides the predator part, I think that fits me better than saying I'm a straight up Lycanthrope, since that seems a bit extreme.

I'm quite paranoid of my mother finding out, so that often pushes down my furriness, were it slowly builds up. '<img'>

Hmm, well, I had to go with the extreme on this one. It just seems to get worse and worse for me every day. I've found myself growling at people at school when they annoy me, etc. I've always been the weirdest one there, so no one things much of it. I could go on and on about how much worse it gets from there on, but no, I'm going to sleep now.  ':p'

I usually hold it back, but sometimes it slips out and I can't help it.  I find myself growling at people a lot lately.  Whenever I hear howling out in the woods I get the urge to return it (I live in the middle of nowhere), and I almost let that slip out the other day around some human friends, that would of been hard to explain...

Everybody that knows me knows that I love animals and anthro characters, I've explained to them what anthropomorphics is, they know I watch cartoons all day, they've seen my art.  I tell 'em I feel like an animal, but nobody has asked me if I was furry, they just think I'm wierd.   I don't go around calling myself furry to those who don't know what it means because of the negative stereotypes..

I've recently been more ourward with my furry behaviour depending on who I'm around. The same with my collar, leash, and a few other non-furry related items - only around friends. I even wore my leash this year to the Christian camp a I attend. A few people asked to borrow it, or even if they could walk me. ':?:' I wasn't sure what to say as I hadn't expected that, but I just went along with it. The reactions from those who didn't know me where priceless. '<img'>
My friends know I'm a bit off but fun. '<img'>

I am not apparent about it at all. Now, people that know me have noticed my closness with animals and nature, so that's all they would notice. If people ask, I will answer but won't bother otherwise.

Voted "very mildly furry"

People around here think I'm crazy anyway, so it doesn't make much of a difference if I growl and hiss at people. I just try not to do it around strangers. My friends are so used to it by now they don't even notice. I refer to most people as "those humans" because I don't really count myself among them. So what do you think I voted?

Since my furry is basically me but .. bitchin''er, then I believe I could one day come to act more like my character, but not now ...

I kind of have a dream of being in a band and showing up at a gig in a good fursuit, without my band knowing before (cause any band i'm in would be crazy like that) ... surprise guys!

but wearing tails and ears in general public, i think, should only be done by cute girls.  selfish? probably. ^.^ reowr

I voted "slightly furry."  I can hold back everything and act like a perfectly normal human being.

I just don't always choose to. '<img'>

'<img'>  I am very very furry.... My only problem is that I am also a marine..... It makes being a furry rather difficult. I don't get to wear collars and earz and stuff like that anymore.... That is kinda sad because I really enjoy them alot. However I still talk the talk and meow off and on fur um all. I talk to people about it whenever possible too. I am almost a evangilist for furry.

 I miss the earz and tail and collar and all very much.... I am proud of being a Marine but I don't think I will reenlist because I don't feel myself at all being less furry.

I just be mostly myself, whatever that happens to mean. I have some unusual vocal noises that I'm used to using. A strange little mid-pitch 'hmh?', I whine sometimes if pleading (har!) and I do a yelpish-squeek if I'm suprised.

I'm usually always on the alert, not in a nervous fashion, but just aware. I like to sniff out nice aromas... or try to identify hazardous ones. If I catch a whiff of burning electrical I -will- try to identify it, or I'll be nervous! Also, too, I use the facial muscle that actually -does- control ear movement, but it's not visable unless you're really, really staring!

And, if it can't be shredded with the hands but can be using teeth, I will! It's fun!

I've never really wanted to wear ears or anything in public... I just like making the best of all that I am.

Oh, and most cats are drawn to me if given the chance. I can't help being a magnet for hairballs!

I outwardly tell people, most don't know anything about it. Of course, there's not much for me to do but be myself when you're an abomination.

Also the person above me said that cats are drawn to them. Well, all animals are driven away by me! Dogs hate me, cats are afraid of me, and mice poop virulently in my hands. I've had a pet rabbit, and I loved the little thing.. but he didn't like me SO much. Like during affection sessions it would slowly turn into the eating of me.

So yeah. Abomination. <_>

I'm pretty inconspicuous about furryness.  I do little things like sniff my food but im very quiet so most people don't notice I'm furry.  It's kinda hard to be a noticeable furr when you are virtualy silent.

I guess I'm a closet furr.

well since im the only furry i interact with on a daily basis, i dont do much at all to show my furriness. My friends know i draw the art, but i think if they where to see me act furry, I know they'd think somethings wrong with me
