Okay, I'm kind of the confidant in my group of friends; people tell me things and I tend to be fairly good at telling them either A)Why they feel bad about topic X (Psychology is a kind of a hobby of mine), or B)Something they should do to resolve topic X. This is especially true with one of my friends from Japanese class. I would sometimes talk to her until well past midnight, listening yo her issues and trying to help her through them
2 days ago, I told this friend of mine that my girlfriend was a furry. They've never met, and I thought that maybe I could tell her and she would feel like the flow of information wasn't completely one-way, something she often complains of.
First, she laughs in my face about it. For about a minute straight.
Then, she throws out this little tidbit of information to a random friend, with me right there not even 4 feet away. He didn't seem to hear it, and I shot her a glance practically laced with cyanide.
Then, she points it out again, to a different friend, TWICE, because again, he seemed not to hear it the first time. I was then subjected to hear for 10 minutes about how my girlfriend was a "f***ing disgusting freak", who "was going to make me put on a tail when we had sex" and "was going to make me wear a leash for the rest of my life". I'm not going to pretend there aren't people like that in the fandom, but if there are, they're a minority, not the majority. I honestly have no problem with her being a furry, and it's not a major part of her personality. The only way I got my friend to stop screaming about it from the hilltops was reminding her that I knew pretty much all her secrets.
It was just really sucky, and it really hurt my faith in someone I thought I could trust.
Its pretty much exactly the same except in my story the girl tried to make everyone think SHE was being led on. I had to talk some sense into her.....but that didn't end too well.
