Thanks man, your right too, we've already been through a challenge to the friendship of my own making, and my friend has been very kind and sweet about it, that's what was eating me up, I have no reason to avoid now , just need to wait for the time when I feel ready to face it again. Ideally I wouldn't feel this way of course, and we'd be enjoying the good times again. Might sound a little weird, but I hope you don't mind me not explaining things fully.

Won't go into a lot of detail - that might just make the fears worse, well the main one is I've been avoiding that friend I was "honest and sincere with" again (out of disproportionate/irrational fear).

If they are a good friend then the friendship should last pretty much anything.
A few years ago now when I was young and stupid, I went out and lived with my best mates ex bird. He often said we were pretty much like brothers, that's how close a friendship it was. We lasted through that and he was around for me during what was quite a difficult 18 months with a lass who turned out to be quite volitile that ended up contributing to some health problems which have had a drastic change to my life. He was around for me when the bird and I split up (it was completely out of the blue) and I was totally destroyed. We don't see so much of each other now seeing as he no longer lives 2 minutes round the corner and our lives have sort of taken different paths but we still have a catch up or exchange a friendly wave if he is in around or passing the base I work at - turns out he is legally allowed to drive an HGV, which having been in a van and a car with him is a bit of a surprise but he'll say the same about me being allowed to drive what is basically a 13 ton lump of solid steel, but I digress.
Point is, if they are a good friend your friendship should stand up to nearly anything. It'll maybe be a bit rough or awkward in the short term but in the long run it should be ok.
