How to have GG friends comfortable about dressing?

[shellybme]

I am having a hard time with one of my close friends. She knows about my dressing and has been a great outlet. Before I would talk to her about wanting to stop dressing and she would give me support. Recently, as I have stated here that I am accepting myself as a crossdresser and I want a GG friend that I can talk to about things. I know it is partially my fault, telling her I wanted to stop and I did a complete 180. Any advice? Thank you in advance.

Shelly,
I can only suggest when you see her again that you tell what a hard time you're having trying to stop and ask her if she really thinks it's wrong that you have decided to carry on. I think I would be prepared to explain a little deeper if she starts posing the WHY question .

I will add that I have fallen into the trap of talking too much to close friends, they my be sympathetic but it's not a priority to them so you must learn when to change the subject.

First, you should thank her for what she has done. Next you should respect the fact she doesn't want to help anymore. You can press friendship only so much

I don't know how close you are to her. But I would tell her that perhaps you are gender fluid and have this problem. You may be far more than that but don't give her too deep of details unless she does show a concern for you. And as Teresa said she may ask why. That is the question that none of us can answer. It just is... So be able to dive in it with her but keep it limited and feed her slowly as this is a very big subject.
