You are who you are. Accept it. All you can do is ask your friend to do the same. You do NOT change urself for others unless you FEEL that something is wrong with you. As long as you are happy being who you are, it is good enough. So your friend teases you, tell her to accept you as you are. If she STILL teases you, make light of it and join the fun. Its not bad if you laugh at yourself. But make sure your friends know the limits, that is all. And I think you can trust this, because this comes from a guy who gets teased EVERYDAY for one thing or the other and NEVER have I tried to change myself unless I felt some part of me was bad.

Your friend just creates negativity in your life, you've done your part and she will never change her mind.  You should leave her alone and make friends with more intelligent people.

First things first, STOP HATING YOURSELF! Nothing you do is going to change who you are - accept it and move on. You need to be more positive in your life. God made you who you are and so you need to be yourself. Go see a shrink to help raise your self-esteem and to help remove the self-hating aspect of your life. Get out into the community and meet people, great friends are the best thing in the world. You might surprise yourself and find out that you really do like being a gay man.

You cant tell your friends what to do. what you have to do is either just let them be who they are now, and hope they will eventually go back to normal. Until then, you keep doing your own thing and being your own person!! more props to you for being urself, that is a hard thing to do.  If they dont come around, find some other friends that are themselves, then you all can have fun! meeting new people is fun anyway! good luck!

Yo bro i went through the same thing, all you have to do is let them know why you cannot do those things then they will either respect you, or reject you.\n\nIf they respect you, they will be interested in your religion because of your sacrifice.  They will not change unless they see change in you.\n\nIf they reject you they are not your friends, they are either using you or trying to brainwash or manipulate you.\n\nKeep strong in Iman, its hard to do these days.\nSalam.

Maybe you should try talking to them. Tell them how you feel, but make them promise that it won't afect your friendship if they don't feel the same way.

Make her comfortable and let her know that she can be herself, that she doesn't have to change to be someone she is not, for you.  Turn conversations in her direction and ask her basic questions that she won't feel weird about answering.  Most likely she will ask you the same question and then you will have the opprotunity to show her who you are too. Good Luck!

Ask her why she can't accept you as you are.

You can't.\n\nYou only accept what is appropriate for you when it comes. Sometimes what/who you want is not what you need.

maybe you should tell them that you refuse to choose as they are both your friends and you value both of them and both friendships. If they are truly your friends they will see the position they have put you in and understand your decision. There is nothing worse is there than being stuck in the middle of a silly situation between people you care about. Friendships, good and lasting ones, are something to cherish, built on mutual love respect and trust for each other. If you can get them to see that I'm sure you will be able to work things out.Good luck sweetie

i kind of dont know what you're saying. But, i am going to guess you and this friend have problems. I would talk to her, and tell her you love being her friend, and that it hurt when she insulted you. She'll be your friend

Well first of all. Talk to her, make it so your friends first or something. Try not be so weird around her, save that for your friends. But don't change completely who you are for her. If she doesn't like you for who you are, she's not worth your time

first calm down. 2nd apologize..and explain that whatever it is you meant was taken the wrong way. If they are really your friends they will hear you out.\nxoxo

If sounds like your friend is trying to be someone shes not.....Black or White doesn't really matter!!!\n\nPoint being...she is not acting herself!!! If you value your friendship, you should talk to her about that!!\n\nGood Luck to you too!!

Sweetie you have to be who you are...you can't be what people want you to be.. It's a tough lesson..but your friend has to understand that it's not your choice to be gay.  You can't change your sexuality so you will have to learn to accept and like who you are...it's not easy...but the end result can be really great..

The ONLY thing for certain in life, is CHANGE. None of us like it, and some like it less than others, but it is inevitable. Your friend is obviously going through a big change right now, and parts of it , she doesn't even like herself. In order to support her, you must let her do what she needs to do. Don't argue with her, or try to make her stop the change, just love her in spite of the change. It's not easy, but necessary. There will come a time when she will need you really bad, and you have to be there for her. In order to cope with this, you have to develop some interests of your own, outside her.  Go out with other friends, do some things you always wanted to do, and just be patient with her. Good Luck!

thats not something someone can answer for you, you need to try to do things that make you happy, and be around your friends, eventually you will be able to let them go, just know they are always with you....
