Friend Advice 6d
I am feeling very emotionally isolated and I want emotional closeness with my friends without my feelings being brushed off or called “gay” etc. But I feel like my friends are just like chill and cool and wouldn’t like me reaching out.

Is being gay wrong? Thats an odd thing to be worried about. The other stuff though I’m going through as well and I think the thing you should do is reach out the ones who reach back are the real ones

No I’m not gay, but I don’t want to express my feelings to my friends for them to invalidate them.

Like you know how some people (stupidly) go “nah that’s gay” when someone acts very emotionally. Yeah some friends I have are kinda like that so I’m scared of opening up.

Those sound like awful friends man :(, I mean no offense to this if they are important to you, but they show very low maturity and emotional empathy acting like that

I actually talked to them bc I had no one else to go to and they were really understanding and supportive and I got the emotional closeness I was needing :). It’s just one of those who genuinely is really loyal and funny but I can’t tell anything emotional to him bc he just goes “wah wah wah I don’t wanna hear it”
