When our friend says, "If my friends found out how I really feel, if I would show my real self, then they would no longer love me but hate me" - he speaks about a real possibility. It is very risky to be honest, because someone just might not respond with love, but take us by our weak spot and turn it against ourselves. Our confession might destroy us.
