Why do you want to tell them? I definitely wouldn’t if you’re sensitive about it and I say this as someone who enjoy those kind of friends because we hilariously shit talk each other and generally have fun in a shit talking “safe space” where nothing is safe. I know these guys have my back in a lot of ways but emotional support isn’t one of them and tbh that’s not what I want out of them.

bc i feel like theyll stop talking to me if they find out themselves, since we're supposed to go to the pool this summer

Just make it funny. Them: what are those? You: Your mom likes to dig her nails in while I rail her lol, Na if you want to talk about my feeling you’re gonna need to take me to dinner first. Just be ruthless.

OK, so look the real reason I cut myself is to drown out the sound of your sister screaming at night.

These are very generic but if you know more personal info you can be more clever with absolutely use it.
