Hey there! I hope this doesn’t come off as rude at all — I just wanted to mention something that's been on my mind. I noticed you’ve been referring to Shade as your “twin,” and since that used to be and still is an inside joke between me and her for over a year, it felt a little weird and honestly made me feel a bit replaced. I totally get that you two are friends, and I’m not trying to take away from that at all — but would you mind maybe using a different title, like “bff” or something else you like? Shade is my best friend in the world, both online and irl, so it just hit me a bit harder than I expected. Thank you for understanding, and I really hope this doesn’t come across the wrong way!

@FreddieAndGeorgie22 Oh no, I totally understand! I mean it mostly jokingly, and I never meant to step on your toes. You two are the model of close friends, and I don't want to interfere with that. I want to be friends with shade, but I want her to be happy, and I know that you make her happy. I guess the reason I got a little carried away with it is because I've not really ever had a nickname before, and even it was just s silly little thing it made me feel valued. I'm so sorry if that was intruding on you at all, and of course I'm willing to back off on that. I want to be friends with both of you equally, I've just had more opportunity to hang out with Shade. Trust me, I've been in a lot of situations where I've been on the other side of this, and I feel horrible that I've caused you to feel the same way. I'm sure we can all find a different title (I'm including you in this because I don't want to accidentally choose something that makes you uncomfortable). I'm consistently not very good at figuring out what the heck is socially acceptable when it comes to befriending someone who's already close with someone else (though you are MUCH better at communicating it than the girl in third grade, who just decided she hated me. Thank you for that lol), and I apologize for any discomfort or disruption between you. Like I said earlier, I'm kinda new to relationships where joking and nicknames and such are acceptable, so I'm probably not handling it as I should. Thank you for telling me you feel this way, that's way more than I'd be able to do in your situation!
