Dear Cranutha,
Are you sure you are not in love with one another?
If not, why is it not possible for you to remain friends.
Offtopic: That is what we attempt as BKs to do. Cut off from our emotions. A very unhealthy, dangerous thing to do. I managed it to a large extent and I still feel that it is a miracle that I am not in a mental health facility permanently. I notice that in more recent BK talks that emotions are being mentioned. In my time, the answer to questions about feelings and emotions was that everything follows from the thought patterns. I believe that, (as someone else has pointed out) they are changing things according to demands. Which makes them far from the leaders they purport to be.
As you have read from many posts on this forum, your friend is in a very strange and possibly isolated, lonely place. I think you should be very careful to protect your own life and happiness. You have told him about this forum but he is obviously very fearful.
Sadly, that is how many people end up. Scared, isolated and very confused. Ultimately, the person needs to want to leave themselves, or get medical or counseling help themselves. Another sad fact is that no matter how much we love or care for someone we cannot help anyone unless they want the help.
As the old saying goes "you can take a horse to water, but you cannot make them drink".
If it is possible to get through to your friend that you are there for support, but please protect your own happiness.
Best Wishes
