My FP isn't a crush, significant other or even a close friend. We're mutuals and we talk sometimes, very casually. It would take way too long to explain the whole situation but overall imagine if you were to become mutuals with your favourite smaller creator on the internet. At first you feel validated, then the obsession begins and ruins your whole perception of the person.

We don't know each other THAT well and I've been masking my unhealthy FP obsession for half a year now. They're a nice, chill person, cutting them out for no reason would feel extremely cruel and I think they deserve to know the truth before I say or do something very hurtful. But I'm not sure how would they take in such a loaded topic, especially since we never had a "real talk" conversation before, we never vented to each other because we're just not on this level of a friendship. And I doubt we will be, since recently I've been putting in extra effort in avoiding them to not make my situation worse. It hurts, but seeing their pfp on my profile hurts even more.

I wonder, is telling your FP they're your FP ever recommended? I'm sure it will make things sour at first but maybe it would help putting things in a perspective for them? So we can work towards a better understanding?
If so... how do I tell them?
