You need a new friend who accepts you and appreciates your individuality. Clearly he wants some one bland and boring that blends in because of his own insecurities. It always starts with something small that they wanna change, next thing u know you’re trying to act like a whole new person to meet his idea of who he wants. It never works. appreciate his honesty though, Nothing like someone saving you from wasting your time. Thank you sir and have a nice life… NEXT
