Good afternoon, everyone. This is Eichi Tenshouin. I was hoping that I could seek out some advice from those of you willing to listen.

There seems to be a situation in which one of my friends reacts poorly to me in certain situations, and it's made public enough that it's impossible for me to ignore. For example, if a new commercial of mine is announced, this friend will immediately post something to social media that directly criticizes it without actually addressing me by name. Or, if I happen to post certain pictures of myself, the reaction is just as instant. I've looked into this, and I believe it's called "vagueing."

I have spoken to this friend, but each time it seems that things have been solved, the issue starts over once more without warning. I must be causing some ill feelings to inspire this sort of reaction, but it's all tied directly to my success. I wonder what to do...

This is the first time I'm using the network to post something on my own, so I hope that I've done so correctly. Thank you.

[For context, mid last month Eichi had a boost in popularity from a concert after his months of idol work and now is on the radio, TV, commercials, and etc instead of just indie gigs, so feel free to recognize him as an idol from his name if you'd like!]

I'm sorry.

I thought that instead of troubling you, I'd ask for the public opinion, but the replies I'm getting here are a little...

[They're a shitshow.]

[gunshow]

I guess that's to be expected when there are so many differing opinions...
Ah, but. Mostly I'm worried about you two.

[finethanks]

I'm sorry to worry you.

He hates me after all, doesn't he? Doesn't it read that way? I'm not sure how else to take it.

[gunshow]

You don't have to apologize to me!

Actually, I'm thinking he really likes you, after all.

[finethanks]

You can really say that, after seeing all of this? After noticing that he'll jump eagerly into every other thread, but he won't deny that he hates me?

Why?

[gunshow]

He's probably avoiding saying it so plainly.
"I don't hate you"...has a really strong sound to it, don't you think?

[finethanks]

I suppose that's true...

before yx stole his phone apparently

[gunshow]

You know, I thought of something we talked about before, but maybe this isn't the best place to discuss it.

[finethanks]

I'm willing to listen wherever and whenever you'd like, of course. I'm simply in my apartment right now... or I could message you privately?

[gunshow]

Whichever you'd like! I get how this must be pretty overwhelming...
But I'm here.
