Context : we were out and about and he needed a vape/ cigarette so I stopped to ask some people near us to bum a ciggie.
After asking I realised I knew the people in question and hugs were exchanged.
My friend stormed off and when I asked him what’s as up he proceeded to get angry and tell me my behaviour was disgusting and such a turn off when I “ throw myself “ on people.
I questioned him and he says it’s something I do regularly and he finds it very gross.
I know I am an affectionate person but this is to people I know and care about and doesn’t go past the point of hugging - I would never do this with strangers
. He made it very clear we are just friend and the arrangement is just sex but he said my behaviour is the reason he could never think of me as a girlfriend because this is things his ex partners have done before they cheated.
We have been friends for 2 years now, and this attack has left me so blindsided and now questioning how I present myself to my friends.
I want to be friends but I’m deeply hurt - is he right to be upset or is this an over reaction to his own insecurities?
