My dear friends just accepted it without even blinking, and I probably should have told them sooner. (Or they had probably figured it out years ago anyway because of all my excuses.) Newer acquaintances have mixed reactions. Most are a little puzzled at first, but then don't care or judge. One lady thinks I'm weird and now avoids me LOL. I think I am getting too old to worry about what people think.

yeah i don't tell my friends cuz they'll be like "why does it matter to you so much" and stuff like you think dark ppl are ugly and you want to be white and all this bs lol
they would be basically be very judgemental or get sick of me.

im sorry but if your friends are goin gto be THAT judgemental or judgemental at anything you do in your life then they are NOT true friends. True friends support you no matter what and you can always tell who is genuine and who is not out of your whole friends circle. There are millions of people out there so you shouldnt be worried about losing your phony judgemental friends since you can find genuine caring friends that wont judge you like they do. And its not hard to make friends, be confident and cool.

Most importantly, if you cant talk to your friends and if you are keeping secrets because you think they wont like it then whats the point of having friends at all. Arent you supposed to share the things you do in life with ur friends?
