When im around others, i try to hold back on it because i know they wont approve one bit. But i sometimes hear them throw in stuff like "you animal"... some say its my behaviour or a bit how i look... i really don't know what gives me away sometimes...

I voted "not furry at all, i'm a little too shy".  
Mainly because I really have trouble getting in touch with my furry side around other people.  

It kinda makes me a bit frustrated sometimes.

Pretty furry is what I had to vote though I was really not sure what to vote exactly.
 I tend to hold back a lot of the things I want to do and would normaly do because of my family, so I act mostly human.  ':p'   I can usualy get by with some furriness without buggin but don't want to press it too far with my family and the area I'm stuck in for now. As for look and appearence, I'm currently getting a cat collar made made for me and I would try to get away with wearing ears and a tail if I happened to them.

I'm not a proselitizer, nor do I go out of my way to advertise it. OTOH, I make no attempt to hide it either. If asked, I will tell them exactly what that peculiar art work is, and what it means, etc.

I'm no more furry than I need to be.

In other words: I don't make a scene.

I don't make a scene about my furryness, if someone asks I'll tell them but that's about it. Wont go out of my way to yell "I'm Furry".

Moderately furry. I usually hold it all back, but I do have my spontaneous moments. ':?:'

I tend to be really shy about my furriness, but I am normally outgoing and outspoken about myself. I am mainly shy especially when lots of people are likely to think I am weird... well I AM weird.. but I still get on my husband when he starts telling my family that I am addicted to furtopia and my dad starts asking questions like "Do you dress up in furry costumes?" etc... UGH! lol
I, like the dragon, can be beautiful, mysterious, cunning, and devour you, if need be.

It depends. If I'm around my non-furry friends, I can't help churring or bumping them occasionally when I want their attention. Even if I'm around strangers, some of the noises come out anyway.

I'm a little shy and don't usually admit it openly, but once I get my leopard-tail I'm definately going to wear it somewhere public and see the reaction '<img'>

I can disquise my furriness around humans..walk human, talk human, smell human (yeesh!'<img'>..but even then anyone who knows a furry could spot me in a crowd.
If I'm out of doors, a patch of grass moves and I zero in on it, already hunting whatever moved the grass.
If I'm indoors, its a bit easier for me, less distractions from my well practiced human-ness..but - purrs and meowls, and the occasional growl can still be heard....

VERY outward, and it's a big hinderance sometimes...

If you can't deal with questions like "If you have sex with a dog, will it have puppies", then I don't suggest you advertise the fact that you're a fur... I speak from experience...

*chuckles softly*

I am my fursona... or should I say it is me.  So I express it a great majority of the time.  Of course most are oblivious.... but then again people are blind to the things they do not wish to see or are unable to understand.

I definitely don't differentiate between "me" and "my fursona" (which I consider to be my were-form), since I can "change into" him at will, but I haven't gone out in public in tiger form *yet*.  '<img'>

I am like myself, but I don't wear ears and a tail. I just act like it. But since I"m a dragon, that's not easy, and most don't notice it.  I don't try to hide the way I act, but I don't try to be outward about it either. So I'm rather in the middle.

I'm a Mystical Fox... Therefore, most people wouldn't even notice it. Of course, some times I say 'You Silly Humans' or refer to my hands as 'Paws', that confuses some people... But there's not much of a way for me to make a big show about it.

I'm slightly furry but can hold back. All my friends know I'm a furry but I wouldn't go out in public and act it. especially at school where it could hinder my marks if I came to school in a tail... Besides, I know that some people at my school have it out for furries. They had a conversation once insulting us but I held my tongue because I still have a year and a half with these silly humans

I act furry, constantly, and no one seems to think anything of it.  Perching, squeaking, everything to it.

No one has ever given me trouble about it.  Might have something to do with the fact that I lived in a small town...

People don't bother me about it up here at the University, either... and it's quite blatantly obvious that I'm a furr.

Have a good bunch of mundane friends around here, too. They respect my way of life, I respect theirs... o.O;  Maybe it's just the area, but I'd rather not pin it on that... might get a few disappointed people...
