barely existing

#1 was willing to understand it and go with it and was like: “Oh cool, tell me more. How does that make you feel? What do you like about it so much?” GHAHA I don’t know xjsbgg, but then they asked if I’d like them to tickle me and I said yes and they’d just do it. Most fun and terrifying day of my life.

#2, my man, immediately was like “no way, though I totally see it as your thing now, that’s adorable, I’m gonna keep tickling you forever” and that’s pretty much it. He accepted it.

#3 is very introverted and anti touch, so when I told her, she was a little taken aback, but just said “okay, but I’m not into it, in fact it makes me uncomfortable”. I was very happy she set that boundary and we just never talked about it again. She definitely didn’t side with me on this, but we both agreed to just not be weird about it and the friendship persists.

I was very close to telling more of my friends, but unfortunately I’ve been there when they’d talk shit about other people, even those they claim to hold dear. They’re very good people, but the urge to gossip within them makes me hold back about opening up to them. What if they spill it to somebody in a forgetful manner, disguised as a joke or supposedly harmless tea?
