Perhaps this friend looks "up" to you and needs to learn how to grow up, but, is having a hard time with the rigors/demands of adulthood.(putting something or someone before yourself)

She/he , admires your traits, yet, has self doubt as to HOW TO TAKE THAT FIRST STEP!!! Without the aid of a parent.

Take these cues, of inconfidence on your friends part.Always, Present yourself as a wonderful example for this person to follow.

Perhaps you can confront her/him as to why this "fictional" story seemed important, without assigning a character flaw.


Keep your chin up---
