one of my best friends is a furry and he has invited me to go to a furry convention with him, what should i do? - Help.com

If you have an open mind, go get yourself a costume. If not, tell him you’re not into it. Most people with a little freak factor to them understand that a lot of people have a little less freak to them.

(please note, I say freak with great love, no disrespect. I put myself in the same category as an electrophile with an itch for S&M)

You’re still spamming this site about furries then Xeno.

If this is a friend & not a boyfriend it may be a little weird to go, especially as it is not really your thing.

Dont go it could turn out to strange for both you and friend. And you can tell him that you dont want to ruin it for him by being awkward and uncomfortable.

Pardon my ignorance - what is a furry?

An anthropomorphic vixen, a typical furry character.

Furry fandom (also known as furrydom, furridom, fur fandom or furdom) refers to the fandom for fictional anthropomorphic animal characters with human personalities and characteristics.[1] Examples of anthropomorphic attributes include exhibiting human intelligence and facial expressions, the ability to speak, walk on two legs, and wear clothes. Furry fandom is also used to refer to the community of artists, writers, role players and general fans of the furry art forms who gather on the net and at conventions.[2][3]

Therianthropic characters that morph between human and animal form are also considered by some to be part of the genre. Even certain superheroes with animal derived powers are considered of furry interest by some fans. The general idea being a combination of human and non-human animal attributes. Even characters like Josie and the Pussycats are considered of interest to furry fandom, though they only wear costumes with animal ears and tails.[1]

That’s. . .a little beyond me. But I’d say, if you’re interested in the convention and there’s no pressure from the guy. . . Go, enjoy.
