A friend figured out I'm a little and has not talked to me since

I'm stuck now and have no idea what to do.

 

I was talking to a friend of mine I've know for a year or so today. I was getting whiny so I apologized and joked that I was getting on my own nerves. He laughed and asked me if it was a sub thing. I didn't know what he meant at first, I don't really talk about stuff like that with him, so I asked him what he meant. he ended up saying something along the lines of "You know, the subs that everyones talking about, the ones that whine and don't do as they're told" He already knows I'm a sub, just not what kind so I explained brats to him. He then asks about a famous person and called her a brat, so I tell him that she's actually a little. He asks what a little is so I give him a short explanation on what a little his. He took a while to think about it, then goes "yeah you're a little" I didn't really want to lie to him, but I'm not comfortable telling him that, so I just kind of tried to change the subject. 

 

We talked for a little while longer, then he said he had to go. He hasn't messaged me since, and I'm afraid that he wont want to be my friend anymore. I already don't have a lot of friends, I don't want to lose one over something I didn't think would ever come up. Should I message him? Pretend it never happened? Should I straight out ask him how he feels about that? He will never see my little side, so It wont ever really effect him, but now that he knows I'm afraid thats all he will associate with me. I did't think it was even that obvious that I'm a little in the first place, so now I'm self-conscious about if anyone else knows or not...

If he is a friend he will talk to you.  If he's only a fair weather friend, someone who will judge you, you don't need him as a friend or anything else.

Since it was just today I think it's just your anxiety telling you to worry. Of course, I don't know how often the two of you talk, but just because a person doesn't message you the same day they learn something new and ''weird'' about you doesn't mean they are abandoning you as a friend. Be patient and tell that anxiety to lay off! ♥

He said he had to go and it's still the same day so he probably was busy with something, could be work, a family function, chilling with friends, anything. Just hit him up tomorrow like nothing is amiss!

I agree with the above posts. It was something he was basically already aware of about you and you didn't directly tell him or go into detail about it. I didn't think anything was weird about your convo with him so it would be odd if he suddenly just thought you were too strange to talk to now when he knows you well enough to understand that you're a little in the first place. I'd be surprised. I understand it can be anxiety inducing for something so vulnerable to come up. I'm not sure how frequently y'all talk, but maybe give it a few days and if there's still nothing, you can consider addressing the elephant in the room if it's still bothering you. Just my thoughts.

Thanks everyone for the advise! I do struggle with pretty bad anxiety and I might have let it get the better of me here. I'll give him some time to reach out to me, and take it from there.
