Ok so im just curious to peoples first time dressing furry and if its as wierd as mine. i guess my first time was when i was about 12, mydad used to hunt things like fox and rabbit (i know hunting for sport is bad and im against it but when i was younger i didnt understand) any way one day he gave me a fox tail and for some reason i started wering it, i know its wierd but i would just tuck it into the backof my pants and were it all the time, untill my mum threw it out.

Any way, since then iv loved to dress and act like animals and have been atrated to furry artwork. And untill i watched an episode of CSI funnily enough, about a furry and plushy con, i didnt realize other people that liked this sort of thing were out here, so i joined FN :)

I never really knew about the "furry world" until recently. When I was younger though, I always loved animals, I had tons of wolf stuffed animals and have always loved wolves specifically. (Hence my wolf fursona) and I would dress up like a wolf almost every year for halloween. I still love wolves and love to dress up like them and I've never felt weird or awkward about it. Be proud of your furriness!

My first time I wore a Tail was in the Early Years of my life (and it was a fox Tail found in the same way as above, but I love hunting not a good shot though so animals are very safe if they cross my path during season) I wore the crap out of it until my dads little ankel biter dog found it and mulched the ancient thing to shredds (I still have the tip)
I wore it in public sometimes the first time was fun up to the point when the older kids at the renneasconce fair tried to tear it off. then they beat me with foam swords and none of my acting friends bothered to help they just ran leaving me to my fate.
I kept wearing it in public when large events came up (and became a near master swordsman for being only 5 to 10) Sadly My parents deemed it nessesary to hide the Tail from me in 2005. I was given it back in 2007 but told never to wear it agian ever and by this time I had no desire to do so; all of my friends who would sword fight me had turned to drugs and alcohol. (this is the Eighth Grade) I found new friends latter and hung out with them.
Then after some three years we started Roleplaying (Player Charectors kill every thing not human and loot the world) we started with 'Dundgeons and Dragons' then we played a called 'Gama World'. I was given the option by our DM to create my own character and was given a book to do so. I saw that Foxes were part of the Playable list in the mutated Animals section. I was thrilled. I slap together a Fox just the way I imagined myself being since the Early Years back 14 years befor this and... was horribly outcasted by half the group. They made insults that the other half and myself did not understand, but they hurt anyway. Seeing that what they were saying did not register with me they stoped and we continued.
Four weeks later we watched a vidio clip 'Heavy Goes Christmas shopping' )or something like that) the clip has a few furry pictures in it with a man standing next to a vendingmachine with the words 'Fur Fag' over him. at the end of the vidio a man shoots the vendingmachine and says ''I never really liked furries anyway.'' ''DIE'' I asked all those around what a Furry was. (ha that was a mistake of near epic proportions) I was riddled with hate speech and all sorts of misconceptions. That is how I found out about the fandom and that was litterly the last time I roleplayed 'in public' as a Fox.
Besides my rant and life story (excluding the everything part) my first time and everyother time being a Furry was wierd and guiled with disapproving looks and hateful comments.

I'm sorry to hear that most people's first times went akwardly :'( for some odd reason everyone I know just kinda accepted that I'm weird but still a great friend to have around. guess that's the best part about where I live *shrugs and wags tail slowly* hope you all find a place where you CAN be comfortable in your fur.

I'm lucky that the first time I ever wore ears was at Furnal Equinox this year. I've still never worn a tail, but I'm hoping to get one made soon.

I loved my first time. I was in charge of publicity for a basketball game my freshman year and said I would wear our mascot costume (a timber wolf) Everyone thought it was just for my class grade but inside it was for me and I loved every minute of it, especially having a tail that was great

I wore tails and ears long before I knew about furries. I was so shocked when I found others like me. But I guess as long as I can remember. My family thought my cat-ness was funny, so they encouraged it.

I don't think its weird, if people don't like it that is their problem. For me personally when I first put on a pair of ears and a tail it felt like something had been missing and that it was finally complete inside me. :3 Now that might sound very weird to some people, but its me. I personally feel very connected to foxes.

When I was little I had a Marie costume, sort of like this http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTYwMFgxMjAw/$T2eC16N,!wsE9suw)kFCBQWP4Lk3+Q~~60_35.JPG except mine was much dirtier from being constantly worn. I would go home and change into it, and sometimes would even go to the store in it. Now I have a coyote tail I wear sometimes. Nobody says a thing about it to my face.
