I have a really close friend (but we’re not a couple) and I’ve been trying really hard not to hide my thoughts or emotions from her, and whenever we have an issue I try to calmly speak my side on it. I heard that it is really important to women you are close to to feel like you are talking to them from your heart and that they can do the same with you. that is what I was trying to do… but she hates it.
She has actually called me a terrible person and has been generally cruel to me ever since I started being real with her. I don’t think it’s one of those “she only wants what she can’t have” scenarios, because she’s not like that at all. She wants me to be fake and to hide everything, but i can’t do that now, it isn’t natural. Bottom line- she cannot stand me, and I don’t know what to do. Can you offer a suggestion?
And yes, I am going to copy and paste this question into all of the niches of yahoo answers that it could apply to.
2 options.
1. Hate yourself forever so that one person may like you.
2. Be honest with yourself and have a shallow person resent you for it.
