Deciding to tell friends you're a furry depends on your comfort level and their likely reaction; it's a personal choice, not an obligation, and treating it as a fun hobby (like anime or sports) rather than a huge secret can ease the conversation, though you can keep it private if you anticipate negative reactions or drama, as true friends will likely be understanding, but you are not obligated to share any hobby.
The best way to tell anyone that you're a furry is to do it subtly. If it comes up, talk about it in conversation. If friends or family ask about it, talk about it. Make it seem like a chill, fun hobby you're partaking in, a new thing that you learned about and that really love and enjoy.
