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!]

Don’t you think the timing could be a coincidence?
It seems a bit self-centered...
Always thinking it’s about you.
Maybe if your “friend” does have a problem
That kind of behavior is what’s inspiring it.

[ just some friendly perspective from a totally uninvolved party! @ him next time you little bitch. ]

I don't know how to tell you this...

Do you believe it is simply because they wish they could share your success or that they don't want you to succeed?

Sounds tough. 🙁 😖 😞

Do all idols have this problem?

Also! Your last concert was really, really amazing. Congratulations on it! ⭐️ 🌟 ✨

[amodelidol]

sorry it's happening, but this might make things worst since you didn't mention them by name

um have they done anything else?

[dollorous]

Perhaps you are simply so loathsome this friend of yours feels there is no other course of action.

"Vagueing" or not, it's too much effort to humor this person in some goose chase where you're the one who has to make them come out with their feelings. I suppose the question is, are they worth that kind of work to you?

[Maybe it's just because he's so used to having a childhood friend who says everything on his mind. That and Linhardt is not one to make that kind of effort unless he cares about someone... ]

[restringing]

One of my bandmates told me about something like this
It's jealousy, isn't it?

im sorry

[diamondfusion]

I forget you're a damn teenager, then you post shit like this.

Ditch them. You're a public figure and you don't have time for hangers-on and entertaining people who don't give a shit about you. They sound like a terrible "friend".

[ wait, what? why is ryuu commenting again? ]

Everyone telling you to drop that friend obviously can't read, I guess.

I can't possibly imagine why someone might react poorly to YOU.

sounds like you need to corner them so they can't run and ask what's up!
obviously you don't wanna stop being friends with this person but if they keep doing this "vagueing" stuff it could be a hint that they just don't like you
or it could all just be you jumping to conclusions!

wow this network place really feels like it's just a way for people to vent

Tell them to stop being an asshole and that if they have a problem with you that they should come out and tell you.
