You don’t have to turn off the part that cares about the friendship, but you should realize that a friendship dependent on you constantly holding back and not expressing your true feeling is based on a kind of fraud.
This is true of any kind of relationship, including those among platonic friends.
I have just less than a handful of true friends, and that is because if you ask me a question, or I see you’re fixing to fuck up bad, I tell it straight.
Most people don’t like that. The few that do, they are my friends. And they are so because they have the love to return the favor.
