i will explain

ok my older brother who is 18 was in the car i was in and i told him i was a furry he thought i was joking till i said i had a fursona so i showed him and he said i cant be a furry cause if i am i will end up with depression and i told him no i wont i tried to just deal with it till he let me use his old phone so i decided to look at his phones diary just to see why hes stoping me and i found out hes a furry s now i know how hes depressed but im asking should i tell him full on that im a furry or do i keep it to myself

Oh dang...
Well, I'd say, if you do so, make sure to also prove that you have a decent support structure in us, and reassure him that you're okay. And, honestly, if he's nice to you, I'd lean on him for support, if I were you. And maybe wait to tell him that you know he's a furry for a while. Maybe a year or two.

And if he tells you he's a furry too, I'd say definitely support him too. Then again, myself being a furry and a depressed older brother who's a just a hop, skip, and jump from being an adult, I get how supportive little brothers might get annoying, too. Patronization from younger siblings will either come off as caring or be annoying as hell. There's no in between. XD So maybe just tell him you support him in it and leave it at that, help him when he asks, and maybe direct him to this stream if he wants.
All of this, of course, if he tells you, or if you tell him you know in a few years or something.

thanks

Of course

hey um i might follow you jk i will

Thanks! :3

Ok, I remember how I became a furry officially. I was watching the anthrocon dance comp Livestream, and it was time for dinner. I said to my mum, (who still doesn't know I'm a furry) that I was watching a fursuit dance comp. She said
"oh yeah cool" and finished up and went outside. I told my 23 yr old brother, and he was like,
"does that make you wanna learn to dance?" And I said
"no it makes me want to be a furry". He then said
"no you shouldn't even know what a furry is" blah blah blah. My brother has always been really supportive so this was weird, but I'm guessing he thinks furries are all sexual.

thatts helpful

Mhm

Dang, You should probably tell him,
If he's depressed, Cheer him up a bit :)

lol

ps i ment about this stream

I'm not sure. Personally, I wold keep it to myself so he doesn't try so stop us as well, but that is just me.

that makes since im asking others especially bunbun they can solve anything

That is true

And of it makes u feel any better, I get bullied because I am a furry and have been in multiple fights this year due to being one of the few furries at my school

It is rough for us all.

You could definitely tell him about this stream; I'd be fine with it

talk to him about it, if it's coming from the heart it's what you're supposed to say

thanks you dont usually comment on mine but thanks

just trying to help others

thank god your name does not imply on your behaver

I'd say yes, but it's not nice to lie

what

you act like GLaDOS dont u

when I want to, yes

perfect

do a GLaDOS

I'd say it's nice to see you, but it's not nice to lie

impression

Well he really is just trying to look out for you. If he is more of an emotional person then maybe you should keep it to yourself and wait, if he is understanding, maybe show him all the nice things and people you have met on this stream

thanks

:) np
