Will you or have you ever told anyone in real life you where otherkin and how did it go?

I have told my mom and close friends. So when i told my mom this was her reaction "" She did not know what it was but when i told her that i identify with a Wolf spiritually and psychologically she was like " "
But i am really glad she still accepts me and when i told my close friends they where like "" they actually did not think i was weird or anything but they accepted me and just treats me normally but i think i had the easy way out.

I think your friends are awesome!

My mom sorta guessed after the long years of the casual tiger-related knick-knacks, accessories and accidental growls. I feel I should wait for her to ask me more about it, than the other way around.

My closest friends are all either otherkin or furry, so there's that (though early on I wasn't even aware that therianthropy was a thing, and felt too weird to share that to them!)

I told two ex-coworkers at a warehouse job,
.. one shared they worked at a computer repair club with another man that designed fursuits in the back! (wow, cool!) the person was a dolphin therian.
.. the other, kinda like an older brother to me, mentioned that he and his partner loved to create masks and costumes .. how could I not show my own tiger costume at that point? it fostered more trust.

The more public acquaintances .. they maybe entertain roleplay a little with me, or get weirded out, I try not to scare them away

I told both of my parents and they seem neutral about it.

I told my step mother and I was accepted.

We told some friends who are otherkin too or who turned out to be otherkin. And we told a friend of us who is a wicca.
Beside that, Crows sister knows it but she don't know what to do with that information. She took it as it is but she doesn't feel comfortable with this subject, so I keep imitade Crow when talking to her and we pretty much never talked about it again.
And we have one online friend in an autism forum. We were talking about some paranormal stuff and somehow we ended by non humans. It wasn't planned but he was very curious about it and accepting.

I told a few of my friends
The first friend I told was very accepting.
The second friend was a little confused at first but once I explained she understood. Somehow her brother found out and he was a little a$$ about it and would make fun of me for it by barking at me or saying things like fetch doggy.

I've told my partner and she tolerates it. Unfortunately, I think that she does not understand it, there is too little interest in conversations.
