I've been without a stable place to call home, for 3 years. I finally have a job and a room to rent. Now, it's difficult to get myself to leave home (besides going to work), because I'm (irrationally) scared that I won't have a home, when I return. Suggestions?

I promise I am not on anything ignorant....I was coming in peace!!!

All my life has been in pursuit of getting an engineering degree and having a career in computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering, or nuclear engineering. All pay highly, and have almost garanteed jobs if i get a degree. However, I just cannot see myself doing what i see my parents do. Wake up at the same time every day, go to work, come home, and sleep. Day after day. No time to truly enjoy traveling or seeing the world with the money that they have. Being an adult with a life like that seems like the most depressing thing i could imagine. On my free time, i enjoy producing music. My dream is to be a big producer like Zedd, Skrillex, etc. I know its a huge risk, for being that popular is like making an NBA team (highly unlikely). But, I cant see myself happily doing anything else. Should i persue an engineering degree? Or further study music production in college?

Ok so I'll put it straight I'm 18 and my girlfriends 15 now I don't want anybody judging me ok this is legit so she doesn't like her house and wants to move out ASAP but has nowhere to go and I was thinking she could move in with me and my parents; she's not pregnant, she's low maintenance, and she's quiet and never gets in the way of people. She mostly stays in her room now but I was hoping if she moved in with me she could realise that not everyone hates her. I just need advice on how to talk to my mother and her boyfriend about it. I have handed out Job applications. I am studying Sound Engineering & Music Technology in college. I have my own band and about to start making money from it and I am a beginner DJ so I hope I can get some pro gear maybe next year if I can start saving from my band. All help is appreciated and please don't judge. Thanks for taking time to read this

I really love my bestfriend, and I know he loves me back as he's asked me out a few times. I rejected him because I feel that there's a barrier stopping me from taking that next step. We've been talking a lot, we flirt a lot and we've been wanting to hang out alone but the problem is that my sister is getting in the way of things and obviously thinks he's not good enough to date me. A little background information: he's turning 20 and I'm turning 25. He's the same age as my sister and I met him through her. Because we've gotten closer, my sister hates that and is trying her best to keep us apart by telling my parents and making him look like a bad guy. My parents won't accept him because he doesn't have a job at the moment but they don't realise that he and I are in the same boat... I haven't got a job either! My parents are overprotective they still treat me like a child. I really don't know what to do?! I've been thinking about this every night and it has brought me to tears. He really likes me and I know this because last time we talk, he broke down and cried. Seeing him cry shattered my heart. I really like this guy and I know I shouldn't worry what everyone thinks but it's bringing me down. And with a family who won't accept and talk behind my back, I don't know what to do but push away someone I truly love. I feel that if I do date this guy, I'll lose the strong bond I have with my family. What do I do?

How do you handle holidays after a divorce that involves young children? I would like my current boyfriend to come to holidays with my family and ex husband and kids however my boyfriend has stated he doesn't feel comfortable sitting at a table with my ex and has elected to take himself out of the situation for the sake of my kids. He is not mad and expects me to be ok about this even though I want involved. My ex husband had been investigated for illegals things involving kids a couple of times during our marriage and although he was never charged my boyfriend does not want to be around him as he says he will not feel comfortable with him. I know my children will want to see their father on the holidays but I also want to move on with my life. Is it wrong of my boyfriend to not want to be around him? My boyfriend is not mad or throwing a fit he just says I should be ok with it.

I have been in my new job for just over four months. Ive been working in a restaurant as a catering assistant. It involves serving customers with food, making starbucks coffee, working the till and maintaining a clean kitchen. It's easy and fun and I like it. I'm good at it. Problem is, today I was talked Into becoming one of the chefs in the restaurant because we are short staffed in the kitchen! I told my manager I had no experience and wasn't sure because I didn't think i would be any good. I explained my reasons for not being keen on the idea but my manager is intimidating, hard to say no to and persuasive. Of course i will get all the training, but instead of being excited I am really freaking out. I'm used to rushing about but I've never had any cooking know how and the pressure in there is big. My manager asked me because he said he thinks I'm the only one of his staff who could do it. How can I start to feel more excited and motivated about this opportunity, rather than panicked, anxious and sick? Any reassurance or advice would be amazing! Thank you x

I'm a straight girl, but yesterday I found out a girl has a crush on me, but I don't know who she is, but I really got happy, I don't know why, though I totally know I'm not into girls. Is it normal to be happy about this? @Blue Sky. I am not bi curious, I totally know I'm straight. @Jay W. Flattering... oh yes, thank you very much, it helped. :) I was just confused lol

My gf daughter cry everyday because she heard a conversation with her mother and the lady. The convo was about my gf and her kids moving with the lady family(wit consist of her boyfriend and 2 kids). My gf been spending time over there alot. Going to the beach,camping,etc. My gf bugs me to get to know them. I had a bad feeling since day one. My gf beg me to have adult time wit them even though my gf and I barely have time for each other. Because I work alot.

I will put my story as a comment below its a little long.

Okay so I've been through tests and stuff, but I can't explain what's going on. I'm sharing a body with my friend, let's call him Jojo, we've been friends since I was five but we're older now and I feel crazy, I could see him but others can't, I have said "special eyes" that allow only me to see him, we have been sharing this body for quite some time now, we are like "room mates" if you will. We both have very distinct personalities that often throw off others who don't know about him, we are Jonah, its almost like were one but two at the same time, I don't understand what's going on but all I know is that he is not s figment of my imagination or an alter ego of sorts, he is real and I feel alone like I'm the only one like this, I dunno.

I am privileged to attend one of the best private schools in Dubai. We have an economics teacher who really dislikes us due to the fact that we re rich. He always mentions (in a very critical way) how much he worked when he was our age in order to support his family, and how we get everything served on a silver platter. He also treats us as if we are extremely spoiled. Every time he makes an example in class he adds on some critique towards us. e.g. he was talking about inferior goods (e.g. disposable cutlery) and said: "This is going to be a hard topic to explain since even your butlers use golden cutlery." It is quite annoying to be treated like this since we have not done anything to him. What can I do in order for him to like us?

i notice that whenever I go out, lots of people like to look at me. It makes me feel uncomfortable and nervous. I'm a female college student. I don't wear any obscene or inappropriate clothing or show any skin. I see lots of girls wearing very revealing clothes, showing their bellies and wearing very short shorts and revealing tops and tons of makeup. Some very overweight women even show off their skin and wear belly shirts. Why aren't people looking at them but people focus their attention on me? I have long hair, I don't wear makeup but I like to wear black. I think my clothes don't look out of the ordinary or weird. So why do people stare at me? Sometimes people stare at me and they do it in a mean way. I have no problem with people looking at me but to stare at me and to do it in a awkward way that makes me uncomfortable and bothers me. I'm not hideous or weird looking. I don't wear gaudy chains or have tattoos. it's kind of annoying to deal with this when i go out. When I walk around people sometimes turn around to look at me. Sometimes people give me mean looks or make comments or whisper about me when I walk over. How do I deal with this? Could it be a positive thing that they are looking at me? Sometimes people do it in a very rude or mean way. Some girls wear provocative clothes when they go to school or even outside of school. There's nothing wrong with the way i dress and these people don't know me, i also didn't do anything to provoke them either. Need helpful advice please, how do i deal with this? i don't want to change my appearance or my sense of style to please others. i like wearing black. But people seem to make fun of me for wearing black. No I'm not paranoid and i'm not imagining it, this DOES happen. Thanks! all who have answered i appreciate it. :) But people do this in a way that makes me feel like if i'm a freak Lol

When we first met i was dead in love could never think of anything but him. Couldn't even really function without texting him or being on the phone or being near him. I saw him every other weekend. Then everyday. And walk 2 hours at 3am sometimes just to see him. Then course I always turned on when i was around him. I'm fully aware that I was crazy clingy at the time. He more than once had to tell me to go home cause I would stay for a couple days. And would never once come to visit me or answer my texts. He always talked about an ex that he was in love with previously. I was always jealous it was awful. I'm not entirely sure when things changed but we broke up ish for like a couple hours- during some months when i had bad depression and i guess something in him clicked and he was in love with me. Doesn't matter what i ask for if its in his power he'll do it. Then he wanted to spend every hour of everyday with me- which was all i ever really wanted, he'd get super bummed if wasnt smiling all the time. Idk it went from me being obsessed and him with a low sex drive, to him being clingy obsessed and me with a low sex drive. I feel myself getting distant and wonder why my feelings have changed when this was what i wanted. I dont know. I feel almost guilty.

She's only a freshman in high school and is on Varsity. Her parents are ones that shake their heads at a bad shot, walk away on her when she's down and 'coach' from the stands even though they have been talked to by all three of the coaches.

I went and got my hair done last night. The woman who was doing my hair and I were talking about eyelash extensions. I was telling her how I've been thinking about getting them someday. She said that she does eyelash extensions out of her home on the side sometimes, very rarely. She said in a quiet voice to me, "hey, if you want to do a trade, how about I give you the eyelashes for free and in return you can give me and my boyfriend a massage." I am not a massage therapist, I never said anything to her about doing massages. It was really random. Is what she said weird or not a big deal? I'm an adult. I'm 30...the hair dresser is maybe 33 or 34 years old. so random..

Ok so my story is that I am adopted and I don't know my bloodline, although it's been hinted at me several times that I am a "mix". Can anyone tell what I might be by looking at my facial features, obviously I know I am at least half white, and I'm wearing no makeup and that's my natural hair color in this picture. If it helps any, my hair is fairly curly and I am 5"2'. Please no hate from anyone, I just want to know what I am.

I finally got introduced to my bf's parents. His dad was really nice at first but now I feel uncomfortable around him. When he first saw me his comment was how "gorgeous" I was. I took it as a compliment and didn't think anything of it but he said it several times throughout my visit almost excessively. I was watching videos with my boyfriend in his room and his mom called him to help her with something. His dad came in and laid on the bed with me asking what we had been watching. I felt weird but just talked to him like it was normal. Next thing I knew he was rubbing my sides telling me I was kind of chubby but it was okay because I had "child-bearing hips". Sometimes he will come up behind me and ask why I'm tense and try to rub my shoulders and back. I told him not to do that because I don't like it and he will for awhile then do it again saying he forgot. Even the other night I had dinner with them and my bf was talking about how stressed he was over his SAT score and how he was upset because he had forgotten our one year anniversary of dating. I was encouraging him to not give up on his college tests and that right now that was more important than remembering a date. His dad said "Damn where were girls like you when I was your age" and winked at me. My bf just laughed but his mom stayed quiet and didn't seem too happy. I don't know if his dad is just very "friendly/playful attitude" or if I'm right in feeling uncomfortable?

But I'm 18 years old and 10 weeks pregnant with twins! When I first found out I was pregnant I was ecstatic, but as each day went by I'm not as happy and excited as I should be. My family and boyfriend are behind me 100% and that gives me hope, but why deep down can't I be happy? Why do I feel almost as if this is going to be a burden. Some women would be blessed to be expecting twins but I feel really down in the dumps about it. All I need is some input, just someone who can tell me that feeling this way is normal? I don't know I just feel lost. Do I want to start my life now ? Will I be over joyed once they come ? I am so terrified... I need advice!!!

Okay, so let me start from the beginning: I have two dogs and I love them very much. I kiss them a lot, because kissing is a sign of love. I have no sexual desire for my dogs at all. So, when I was younger at 12, I kissed my dogs' face, butt cheeks (they don't have cheeks) and when I wasn't aware I might've kissed their asshole, and I'm not sure if this ever happened, but it really disgusts me. So, earlier, I was thinking about if I've ever molested them. I thought that it was not molestation, because I never did any of those things for sexual desire.mpike a mother would kiss her babies. Why couldn't I kiss my babies? So, my feet were cold and I tried to warm them up by rubbing my male dog's stomach and crotch with my foot. Dogs can't be sexually stimulated like that, and I had no sexual desire at all. I already have depression and I swear this is getting worse every single day considering all these things pile up. Is this dog molestation? Please help me.

Please listen to my story with an open mind, rather than drawing conclusions that I don't regret what I did or brought this upon myself. Perhaps I did, but here's my situation. Over the Summer I got an instagram, using it for about 3 ½ months until I deleted it out of regret and guilt. I have the iPhone 5, and am getting the 6s, so when my father backs up my phone to my computer (through icloud) will he see I once purchased instagram? (Doing this so he can get same data on my 6s.) I'm a good kid, get good grades, and always try my best academically. It really is abnormal for me to do something like this, and if I do it will RUIN my relationship with my parents. I sometimes can't sleep at night knowing how disappointed they'll be. Is there any way I can make sure they don't find out? I wish I could take back that silly, silly decision. They STRICTLY don't want me having any social media, that has always been a rule. Thanks to anyone who contributes to this question. Here is an additional set of questions: Will he only see if he looks through my purchased items? If so, I'm pretty sure he wouldn't look at all of them if I bought a ton of other apps, deleted, then kept some. Should I do that? What are any other ways I can avoid his finding out? (Btw I have my own apple ID but its under my Dad's credit card. Some people said the ig will be in my icloud files? Is that true? If so, could I somehow delete them? Or will he only see the app under purchased? Thanks, again.

A month later I find out that she had left me to get with her cousin. They are in a relationship. The whole time she was still having sex with me, and I told him, to which he says he cant believe it, and isnt going to be with her. But I just cant believe it. I got left for a family member?? Man I did everything I could to make her happy and support her. It's disgusting, insulting, heinous... I can't even stay focused or concentrate. Any words of wisdom?

Today I went for a general check up and the doc was super friendly asking me personal questions like my marriage and how it's going etc. I told him I was in a difficult marriage and thought nothing of it. He then asked me for my cell, but I told him I didn't have it on me and he proceeded to give me his. He told me I should text to let him know how am feeling. Do you think this is odd behavior or is he just being friendly?

I had this teacher last year, and I liked everything about him, and eventually I got a crush on him or whatever, it's a new school year now, I don't have him as my teacher and never see him during passing periods or anything, but I still like him? I had all summer to get over him, but I didnt, and it's annoying especially because he's a teacher and I'm a student, so it's like definitely not gonna happen ever, it'd be different if it was a classmate, there'd be a slight chance, but this is a teacher.

I'll keep it short: If a husband is ok with it, is it sinful for a woman to have a "boyfriend" or even "girlfriend" outside of the marriage? Just a fun relationship, never anything serious and ONLY with husbands allowance. Convo came up today... We were debating lol.

So I like this one boy and I don't know if he is gay or not and I really like him but I don't know how to tell if he is gay!!!!!😕😭 but as soon as I saw him I felt like I belonged to spend the rest of my life with him!!!!!!

My ex and I dated for on and off for a year and half. It was pretty messy but we loved eachother. Alot. We took a break recently because he was dealing with alot of family issues and needed to focus on himself. Unfortunately everything went downhill. Over our break he was changing. He started being friendly w girls more, he was smoking and drinking, and then he was shutting me out and was being a jerk to me for no reason. He eventually came around and apologized for everything and said he loved me so much and he didn't want to lose me. So he said he would do anything to prove that he wants "us" again. He never proved anything to me. I eventually found out that he cheated on me and that he was already thinking about breaking up with me. But why didn't he already if he really wanted to? That had me confused. But I wasn't going to waste my time anymore so I completely ended everything between us. The next few weeks he had it in his head that I was running my mouth about him when I truly wasnt. I really could care less for him because Im trying to better myself now. He has already moved on but he got into it with me when he started talking crap about me when I was hanging around a bunch of guys. Why would he do that if he already has a new girl? And now he continues to call me all these bad names and makes fun of me constantly with all his friends. If he's moved on, why does he still need to act like this?

If i sent a snapchat and you could see my cleavage (but i did not intentionally put it there) and a boy replays it and his friend takes a picture of it and zooms in on my cleavage and sends it to his entire football team group message (which has 30 kids including upperclassman). am i in the wrong for accidentally putting my cleavage in a picture? or him for spreading a picture zoomed in on my cleavage to 30 people making it seem like i was sending him sexual pictures?

hi I was with some one for 5 years she has 2 kids 15 and 12 years old, things are not good we use to live together until last November when she moved out we still seeing each other until last week when I just couldn't do it any more because I feel completely taking fro granted, I do cock take care of the kids do pretty much everything while she goes to school, things are not good I'm not happy and I don't feel loved, my problem is even when I try to walk away I'm not able to do it because Imp so attached to her and the kids that I always end up calling her texting the boys or going back to the same thing. What can I do in order to dissolve the attachments? I'm not happy and I want some one who can put the same amount of afford like I do.

I'm in Middle School, and liking something such as Hannah Montana is looked down upon....and people would think I was really weird if they knew. I listen to the Hannah Montana albums, play the Hannah Montana video game, and I have a few Hannah photos on my laptop. Is this okay or do I need to stop? I'm honestly not a troll, if you think that.

Hello again! So, after meeting this guy, we were friendly at first. I asked him out for a drink, he was seeing someone, etc. But, then, he asked me out for a drink. So, when we talked last night on Facebook, I did something really stupid. I called him out for not telling me about the relationship(which he didnt do before), I was basically too honest and he said that I treated this as "dead on arrival from the start". I just need to know what I should do. I tried to apologize for my idiotic behavior and we were supposed to go out for a drink but, I had to reshedule and now he said he has plans. I'm so attracted to him, he seems great. I just don't want to lose this opportunity with him. Please help! ❤

So my roommate is terrible at doing the dishes. After cleaning out MOLD from MY tupperware that he used I sent him a text saying to please make sure he rinses off his dishes and to either put them in the dishwasher if its dirty or to the side of the sink (our sink is very small and I can't wash hands/fill up the britta when there are more than a few dishes in it.) Well he replied back with "I always rinse them off, but you got it." well that lasted for a week and he started piling them in the sink again. I started doing his dishes because I hate when the common areas are a mess. Well I got really sick of doing them and he just seemed to completely stop doing them so just started doing my dishes and my boyfriends dishes. I wanted to see if he would ever do his by himself so every dish that I encountered that was his I removed from the sink and put off to the side. I was finally going to ask him when I saw him (didn't want to do it over text again) but he finally did them them when he came home one night. It took him 2.5 weeks to do them. Then the cycle started again. I continued to wash mine and my bf's dishes and would even do this in front of my roommate so that he could SEE that I was taking care of our dishes AFTER WE USED them ya know trying to set a good example..... until here we were 9 days later and a pile of dishes were on the side again. I finally saw him in person and asked if he could please wash his dishes and he says yes. He does them the next day and while hes doing them he says "I find it funny and hard to believe that all of these are my dishes. I assured him that they were all his. And he said that he's been moving them to the side cause he "figured it was the game we were playing." I told him that no, I have moved every dish that wasn't mine to the side and washed all of mine and my bf's dishes and then he replies with "So are we just doing all of our own dishes from now on then? JUST CURIOUS." Now I feel like there is this bad tension that I don't know how to approach
