You seem to be very focused on your own needs, but not putting yourself in their shoes. Honesty is essential in friendships. But if your friend is a decent and sensitive person, you shouldn't be hurting their feelings.
I never had a low opinion of this friend at all. I realized I'd become attached in ways I shouldn't that soon into the friendship. I didn't trust myself or in myself, to be a good person, to have control, or to be a good friend. I've only had one great friendship ever and I don't know if that could even happen again. I thought I might be developing an intimate friendship (intimacy does not mean sex here) and wanted to make sure they were aware, and that I wasn't detracting from their relationships they already have. I wanted to make sure I wasn't disrupting their life
