Confession to their bff that they're a fundashi not like they love their bff

I haven't told my best friend yet and now i feel so nervous if I do.....(￣∇￣")

my best friend doesn't know i read BL, but two of my close friends do.

one of them found out when we were volunteering together and it randomly slipped. i don't remember what slipped, but it was her who mentioned something about BL that i caught onto.

the other found out when i told her to rate the looks of some BL men thinking she wouldn't know them, and she recognized jiwon & yuyang, so i was like "holy shit, you read BL?"

i hope they accept you for who you are. if they don't like it then it's not your fault since you weren't forcing your views on your friend anyway. perhaps you can go about it slowly?? like give her hints before you reveal?? in my case, i didn't exactly tell my friends... they kinda just knew and im open about it to them. i even send them pics of whom i ship.. ig they're pretty chill about me. although they're not avid fans of bl/yaoi like me...

so I told my best friend that I also like reading yaoi just today and thankfully she was already versed in boyxboy ships (ex. Vkook). she was able to just accept that I read the genre and didn't judge me as hard as I thought she would. It was just the spur of the moment and I didn't think about it as hard compared to you because my friend is pretty open-minded and nothing changed at all about our friendship. It was kind of like, "oh you like reading that, okay" and we just kept hanging out afterwards. Of course she was shocked that I read yaoi but I think that she more shocked about that I was reading people doing IT not about the two men part as much. I think she took it well and she of course said that she'd keep it a secret from my other friends.
I personally think that it's up to you whether or not you want to tell your best friend about your reading preference because I think the real friends wouldn't judge you for silly little things like reading bl/yaoi. A good friend would stick by you. since the two of you have been best friends for 5 years it's improbable that she would toss the long friendship that you both have because of this. Unless she is homophobic or is disgusted by the thought of two guys together. However to me she already seems to be introduced to bl ships and doesn't seem to be disgusted by them. I would say to tell her because it would help create a deeper friendship with you two, but pleasssseee take my words with a grain of salt since I'm not you and I'm the end the decision is yours and yours alone. I hope you the best! :))

Thankyou so much. I've been thinking of opening up to her and another friend of mine who I was very close to is writing a bl fanfic, so o was thinking of opening up to them at the same time. Your reply made me see it in a different view thankyouuuuu

Mhmmm

I hope she reacts like that it would be soooooo cool if we could read it like that. Like my parents also dont know. So she is going to be the first person I'm telling so....

yaoi was recommended to me by a friend & so i tried it. he is not ashamed by it and so am i. when we're inside our classroom we can just freely watch and read yaoi. Sometimes i would share it to some of my classmates and they would just laugh it out or sometimes they would even ask for some smut scenes lol. anw, if yall are really true to each other i guess there would be no harm. i can show it to anyone regardless of the gender ╮(￣▽￣)╭ its up to them if they would be grossed out or not

I just did........she didn't know how to respond and now i feel like i should have kept it to myself........

I really hope that everything goes well for the both of you guys !! Maybe she just needs time to think about it?? Stray string, I'm here rooting for you and if you ever need a hug :))

*strong*

I'm sorry.like I genuinely am.i know how nervous and scared I was in the moment she didnt reply. I'm here of you wanna talk. Like I'm no mom or great comforter but I hope I can be of help. If she can't accept you,then maybe you both aren't cut out for this friendship. You might be feeling how could I stranger like you know about how long we were friends for and flip me of or something. But I've been in the same boat as you. And we have a place where we belong and its here this community will always accept you no matter gender or sexuality or looks or anything infact we share a common like and that's what drives us to be together. So I'm here and i know how you feel.

What if she accidentally finds out later and you both are in a more stressful relationship. Kku ts better to come out first. I just did so know I'm waiting for here reply...

Her

Um well my friends are all anime, manga, manhwa etc lovers and we’re all pretty open minded. Some of my friends are super open about the things they like and I used to sort of envy them for being able to speak so confidently. I’m sorta self conscious so I can’t rlly speak of yaoi that much but I’m gradually starting to converse about it with them. I think that u should trust ur friend and just say u hv interest in bl. If she is grossed out and ignores u, I’m just gonna say that then she is not a true friend.

me and my bff read bl all the time and i was the one who introduced bl/yaoi but if you tell your friend that you like it and doesn't support it and starts distancing away from you then she thinks its disgusting and doesn't want to be your friend or it could be opposite she could find it weird and still be your friend but hopefully everything turn out well for the both of you ╮(￣▽￣)╭

Thank you so much! I think she still needs time and thank you for supporting me it means the world to me! ヾ(☆▽☆)

Thank you for supporting me it means a lot to me! I think she needs more time to think about it and she didn't realize how much it meant to me and how sensitive i am on this topic. Thank you for your advice and knowing people have the same problem as me, that i am not alone in this situation. ^ ^

That is why I wanted to tell her before so the outcome didn't have to be like that, but i don't she is taking it seriously and knows how much this means to me. i guess i am on the same boat as you and don't have to be alone in this situation.
