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!]

Normally I'm told that I'm too cold...

This is beginning to get frustrating. There are so many different solutions, so where am I meant to start?

[thedarkbond]

"cold" isn't always honest, though, right?

see this is why the closet idea is good
because you both need to be in a situation where you can just talk without someone walking out when things get too honest for them ╮(＾▽＾)╭

[finethanks]

I'm always honest.

I think that sort of "solution" would just make him avoid me even more, in the end.

[thedarkbond]

hmm, is that so...?

[#doubt]

there's not going to be a reconciliation unless you understand each other, you know?
so you need to talk it out more deeply than it sounds like you've been doing ೕ(･ㅂ･ )

[finethanks]

We do keep having heartfelt conversations, though, you know... I've shared everything. I don't know what else there is for me to say.

If Shuu wants to say more, then I'll listen, of course. But he refuses to listen in return, so it's difficult. Keeping him still won't change that.

[thedarkbond]

shuu-shuu likes to keep things to himself, that's true
but i'm sure i could help you prompt your conversation along~

[probably by threatening to air what little of shuu's dirty laundry he knows, but hey]

[resound]

[ HEY. ]

[finethanks]

I suppose we might get along in that we both turn on you, in that moment...

[thedarkbond]

you're both already being mean to me (◕︿◕✿)
i'm sure my heart can take it for the sake of reconciliation

[finethanks]

[Ren is too much... He's lost in the madness over here so he leaves this one on read, too. I'm so sorry.]
