I lost my best friend because of feedism. thoughts?

Freddii:
So I’ve been bestfiends with this girl for 3 years and she knew about my kink (I’m a feedee). Recently I told her that I have feelings for her and she said that it makes her uncomfortable and stopped being friends with me. What should I do now? Is she in the right? I feel awful.


From what you described, I don't think your kink was the issue. It seems more that you confessed to her than anything.

That being said, the fact that you said you guys were best friends implies there's much more to the story.

Ah, okay. Should have included that.

Based on the limited information you've provided, I don't think either party is in the right or the wrong. You weren't wrong in confessing and she wasn't wrong in ending the friendship. It's unfortunate, but that's often life.

All you can really do is mourn the friendship and move on. I wish you well.

Freddii:
I guess you’re right, thank you


Good luck!

With that in mind, did you bring feederism up in conjunction with your confession, or was it something she attached to it herself?

Regardless, I'm sorry. It's hard losing your friend in the best of circumstances. For it to be tied to something as personal as feederism, which many people already have to be in the closet about, adds to the agony.

I would hope that your friendship was strong enough to recover after some time. But that won't happen on its own. Unless she's gone no contact with you, there is still a possibility to find some sort of understanding that you value her friendship more than you would ever value kink.

For some it's kink, for others it's lifestyle. IMO; Friends/Family don't really need to know what you're into, unlike significant others.

Some don't mind you living your life until they are directly involved/affected.
The higher stakes of a relationship, not many 'outside' can deal with enabling/watching/helping a loved one get more unhealthy over time (regardless of only weekend stuffing sessions/exercises-cardio etc).

Sorry you lost someone close, though better now than to wonder or see disgust when moving slower with an added 55-300lbs.

There are signs to test someone without tipping your hand as well. Similar to how some superfats look to trigger feeder tendencies in dates who said they were only FA or didn't matter what their date looked like etc.

Best of Luck in the future.

Freddii:
I did not bring it up, and when we were friends she would often joke about my kink so I didn’t expect it to make her that uncomfortable, but I didn’t even think about it when I confessed. I also told her that I’m not expecting her to get into relationship with me. And when we had a fight I told her that she doesn’t need to worry, that I don’t have feelings hor her anymore and that also made her angry, so I don’t know 😭. And thank you




At this point, I'd just move on from her. She doesn't want to date you but doesn't want you to get over your feelings for her. That's just toxic.

I'm curious as to how you guys got into an argument and you told her you got over your feelings after she dumped you as a friend.

Freddii:
She dumped me as a friend after that argument, I’m sorry if the informations I give are confusing, language barrier 😭
Also yeah, she was very toxic (the whole friendship) but that was kind of why I liked her too, I don’t know, it’s complicated


Speaking from experience, it's best to avoid toxic people like the plague. And don't be the toxic person either.

Toxic people drain you of your joy and your peace. You only have one life to live. No point in being miserable for the entire thing if you can avoid it.

There are many reasons people might react poorly first to a confession and then to an assurance that your feelings have evaporated. Without knowing the details--it's not my business and even what you *can* tell me will lack perfect insight into her thought process--it's hard to pin one down. So I'll just say this.

At this point, the best thing you can do in your situation is to take care of yourself. Don't blame yourself for the end of the friendship, and don't read into any of her behavior. It's not your responsibility to fix the relationship, nor is she guaranteed to respond favorably to any such attempts if you do make them.

Focus on what you can do to find or make your own happiness independently of this friendship. Distract yourself, go to counseling, find greener pastures, realize this too shall pass, or make it your choice to distance yourself from this person--whatever makes it easier to move forward, do that.

Moving on from the end of a relationship of any kind is about being open to what comes next. Whether that means getting to go your own way independently for a while, being in a better place for the relationship to resume once tempers have cooled, or seeing an opportunity to find or foster a new relationship elsewhere is up to you.
