So I have these two friends: Girl A and Girl B. Girl A was my very best friend in elementary school, but lately she's changed a lot and likes drama and gossip and is very bossy & annoying. I met Girl B this year; she seems nice and I want to become closer friends with her. Girl A recently left my friend group due to issues she had with another girl and is now part of Girl B's friend group. They now hang out a lot and do things without me. Idek why Girl B likes to hang out with Girl A. How do I become closer friends with Girl B without Girl A getting in the way?? Also, Girl B's friend group seems pretty nice. I want to get closer with them, too. Again, how can I do this without Girl A getting in the way??

So I have these two friends that I have complicated relations with. One (we'll call her Girl A) was my best friend in elementary school, but lately she's gotten really annoying and stuck-up. Another one I met this year, (we'll call her Girl B) is really nice and I want to become closer friends with her. Girl A has changed so much lately. Now, she likes to gossip, is obsessed with drama, and just isn't the same person anymore. She recently left my friend group because of issues with another girl, and joined Girl B's friend group. Ever since, they have become closer friends and have inside jokes I don't understand. I don't even know if Girl A likes me. She talks to me and spends time with me, but seems passive-aggresive towards me in a way. Idk what I did wrong, I never get mad at people (at least I don't show it) and I try my very best to be nice. I feel like they are leaving me out. I guess I'm just frustrated at Girl A for being bossy and criticizing and just completely changing personalities. I don't even know why Girl B wants to spend time with her. I'm afraid that Girl A & Girl B are going to become very close friends and will go on to do things without me. Whenever Girl A and I hang out, all she talks about is Girl B and her friend group. I mean, I'm glad that they are getting along, but I honestly don't know why anyone would want to hang out with Girl A anymore. I really want to become closer friends with Girl B, how do I do this without Girl A getting in the way???

So I have anxiety, which prevents me from doing a lot of things. One of these things is long-distance bus trips. Today, almost my entire grade left for a field trip. Although, it s really not a field trip, because it s to an amusement park/waterpark/arcade sorta thing. And it s 10 hours away, so they ll get to spend a lot of time together. They re posting pictures of the bus trip on Snapchat and they seem to be having a lot of fun, which makes me feel pretty left out. They ll make memories without me and come back with tons of inside jokes I won t understand. And also, to make matters worse, one of the girls I don t really like is trying to steal my best friend away from me, and both of them are going on this trip. What do I do? Help! *UPDATE* Yes, I'm getting help for my anxiety. It's improved a lot since I started seeing a therapist, but it still has a long way to go. And I would prefer to not take any medication. Also, I'm actually an extrovert and do hang out with friends a lot, it's just that I can't go on these certain bus trips.

I've known this guy for 15 years, I'm 27 and he's almost 29. He was my brother's friend, that's how we met. We only became friends in October 2016. He was my first big crush/obsession back when I was 11. Back then, I worshipped the ground he walked on. In January 2017, my old feelings resurfaced and I told him. He was heartbroken over a former FWB who he ended up falling for, but she was a slut who slept around and told him she couldn't love him back. He said he liked what we were, but we agreed to be FWB. In a little over a year, we've only had sex 5 times. The last 2 times have been a mess. The 4th time, the condom broke (he got me plan B) and he manipulated me into getting checked with him. We were both clean, but that wasn't enough for him. He was convinced that because his former FWB slept around, that I MUST have slept with somebody else other than him and that the results just hadn't shown up yet. He started harassing me asking me if I was feeling okay, if I was sure I hadn't slept with somebody else, if I was sure I hadn't gotten drunk and had sex I might not remember, etc. I cut ties with him due to the disrespect and his lack of trust in me. He tried to worm his way back into my life after a couple months and I stupidly kept letting him back in. He'd beg to have sex again, I'd block him again. I would get weak and unblock him, we'd become friends again and then he'd go back to begging me for sex. After ALMOST 6 months, I had a moment of weakness and horniness and asked him to come have sex with me, so we did. It was great, but after a few days, I was still sore and had a sore under my vaginal opening. He wore a condom and it didn't break, so I don't think he gave me an STD, but nonetheless,it freaked me out. I told him we for sure couldn't have sex anymore and to make sure of that, I was blocking him for good. I told him he's toxic (he has played SO many mind games with me and broke my heart) and that I hope he finds happiness. Well, when you block somebody on IG, you can unblock them and still see their new messages. Lately, I have unblocked him just to see if he's messaged me and he has, several times. He keeps saying he's not toxic, asking what he did wrong to me, telling me he misses me, begging me not to go, saying "I'm sorry, I can change." How do I make him see how much of a problem he's been? He's SO manipulative. He wants me to feel sorry for him and wants me to come running back, but never again.

Right now I'm pregnant and my best friend texted me asking when I'm going to the doctor for my first check up and I told her I'm trying to find an OBGYN then she suggests that I go to planned parenthood which I don't want to do and then she started acting like I was never going to go to the doctor and tells me if I don't go they're going to take the baby away from me. Once she said that I told her I never said I wasn't going to go to the doctor i just told her "I never said I wasn't going to the doctor I just told you im trying to find an OBGYN." She texted back and told me if I didn't go I won't have a healthy baby?! Then says "I'm deleting your number you aren't going to talk to me like that". I just don't want to be stressed out right now

I met this friend about 6 years ago. During that time, I've made huge, positive changes in my life-- therapy, detaching from drama, cutting toxic people, going back to school, starting a new business. Meanwhile, nothing in her life has changed. She loves being a victim, despite having a fairly easy life. I've told her a few times recently that I'm really busy with my work; I'm detaching from drama; and I don't want to keep hearing about how she is "hysterical" all the time. Of course, as a friend, I'm willing to listen, and I can be supportive when people are struggling. But I can't deal with her 40 emotional, dramatic emails all day, every day. Today I said that it would be better if she saw the positives in her life and started being more grateful, and listed everything good she has. After that email, I really don't want to her in my life right now. Am I a bad friend? Every time I've asked her to stop, she does for about a day, then bombards me with emails again. What should I do? Just tell her to f-off? Ignore her?

I've recently opened up, and tried to become friends with my peers, and I feel I've more or less succeeded. The problem is that my two best friends, who I desperately want to become a trio with, are really good friends. They aren't trying to exclude me or anything, but when it comes to partner projects and inside jokes, I feel left out. What should I do?

This guy literally follows everyone from the girl who sat next to him in pre-school to the man who let him cut in line at the grocery store when he only has a few items. He follows nearly 2k people. He plays adult league football and his team mates all follow each other but none follow him and he doesnt follow them either. I've always suspected that he was a major narcissist and I think maybe that's a sign because he team mates notice that too. They also refer to him as a "man diva". He has a lot of friends but I've never met someone I despise more because he seems so fake and all about appearances.

Pretty much I've got tickets for beyonce and jay z, Ed Sheeran, wicked and an over night stay and tickets to see a popular comedian. All in all ur taking around £700 I'm tickets, she's not paid for a thing nor offered to pay and I don't want to ask her for the money cos that's just not the type of person I am. But lately she's been going behind my back and going out with a girl I got a lot of hassle from a few years ago she even nearly drove me to suicide and she knows this yet still wants to be in this girls group of friends. She's done things like this before and anytime you say anything to her she passes the blame on to me and makes me apologise, she's cheeky and constantly tries to make me feel stupid or less. I've let her walk all over the top of me and I'm sick of it now. I don't want to take her to anything this year as I feel she's been snide and back stabbing. But I did something to the girl that gave me bother and it could get me in a lot of trouble if anyone was to find out it was me (I didn't hurt her or anything just to be clear) but I would be kicked out of school and I told her as I felt i could trust her but I suppose it's her word against mine as there's no messages etc confirming anything so I don't really want to fall out with her incase she grasses on me. What should I do??

Im 16. My cousin grew uo with me and so did this other kid from my neighborhood. We have always been friends. The one kid makes money from selling weed. And he always sparks my cousin for free and they always chill. I smoke too but since i always have to pay i cant all the time. They never text me to chill anymore and im stuck home all day. I chill with them usually once a day if that. But they both rarely text me first. I feel like the other kid is like bipolar and uses me for money sometimes. Idk what to do because all they ever want to do is smoke and im not invited. I text them all the time whats the moves and there is never anything to do. I guess im supposed to sit home all day and do nothing because the only time i can chill with ny friends is i have to spend money and smoke. If i was to stop talking to them, id have nothing to do 24/7, lose my ride to school, and it would cause drama. I feel like either way i lose and they wont be affected.

My girlfriend and I have been together for 6 years. During those 6 years we have been up and down just like most relationships. The problems all began when she began lying about petty things. Things there's no reason to be lying about. I began to grow unhappy even after confronting her about the lying. She would turn around and make me feel like I'm crazy for confronting her. Over time, she began making excuses to why she won't get her license, why she can't clean, why she sleeps all day long, why she wont focus on priority's in life etc. She has no life goals that I know about even after asking. No school plans or any plans whatsoever to advance in her life. All she is focused on is getting married having a family and be a manager at a store. Note: I'm 26, she's 22. I'm not focused on that. I went to school, have a career, car, whatever. I have it all except a house in my name. She has a hard time working at a team to pay debt off. She just wants to party and hang out with friends. (The wrong group of friends in my opinion) Friends that disrespect my career. Her sister lives with me now too. Her parents OD'd on drugs and both dead. If I leave, they have nothing or nowhere. (One family member left who lives in assisted living handicapped). If I leave, I'm the bad guy. I'm the one who ruined their lives etc. If I leave, i'll have an hour to drive to work is the only con. Now, I have made dating sites, talked to girls and been on dates. I'm wrong too. What do I do? Thanks!

You're by a group of people, all of them dress the same talk the same act the same and physically look alike. You don't dress talk act or physically look like them. You come from a different social group and background than they do. They're all normal towards each other, but are critical towards you over everything. They snub you and talk disrespectful to you. You call one out over their rudeness and all of them are onto you. If one has to talk to you all of them stand around scanning what you are going to say to that one person just In case they have to 'stand in' for that one person, they never talk to you alone one on one solo. They talk to each other but when you go where they're at they all quit talking and stare at you. They see you coming and alert each other and all move to a location all at once where they're not around you and then they talk to each other. They whisper to each other but never talk loudly. What are these people's problems?

When my best friend gets excluded from her other friend group, only then she "runs" to me, but when she doesn't feel left out in that friend group, it's almost like I don't exist for her anymore, she ignores me. What do I do?

I'm no in uni, with my closest friend which I knew for over 6years now, I tend to do what she wants and try not to annoy her without being aware or because I am used to it. It is not that she is a bad person and makes me do what she wants, its that I dont want her to be upset from me and hate me, which I think is not okay to feel that way, to always be scared. I am better than I used to be before, since I say NO intentionally to drop the habbit, but I dont know what else to do

So, I became pretty obsessed with an e-celeb. To give you picture of how extreme it got, I'd spend hours watching this guy's videos, making memes of him, talking about him non-stop, he was my phone lock screen, hell I even got off thinking about him, more than a few times. Which is probably more info than you needed to know, but uh, you get the picture. I was starstruck. But anyway, in a seemingly-dream-come-true twist of events, I ended up becoming highly regarded in this guy's fan community and eventually got to speak with him. Since then, we've started to talk very frequently, I even go on his streams, we've had some pretty deep convos, and he even told me he regards me as a friend. Which on the surface, seems great, except I keep freezing up and getting awkward around this guy. It's hard for me to forget how I used to think of him, as my idol and a popular e-celeb, instead of just treating him like a homie. I don't want to be awkward or come across as creepy, around him, because I really do look forward to becoming even closer friends, but how do I stop thinking of this guy as my hero or idol, and start thinking of him as a friend? I thought maybe giving myself some time would help, but its been like a month and things are still weird.

I'm starting second semester in july and well, i have no friends. I only have one who isn't in university and the others ditched me, even my "best friend" so how do i make friends in university? I know having friends isn't everything but it would be nice to have some! I have an open day/orientation soon and I was wondering how to approach/look approachable? I'm quite shy and it's hard for me to converse with people because i feel restricted and closed up :( Im 18 and a girl :) Thank you! :)

So I have a friend who wants to move out from her parents by age 27. She claims she is busting her butt off but I don't believe her. I told she needs to be more realistic and by 30 seems like a more reasonable goal. She got upset with me and I told her she is just trying to start drama. She thinks because I only work twice a year and my dad is a millionaire and that my dad is paying for my grad school that my life is so easy. I told her she needs to be more thankful for what she has.

I moved across the country 8 months ago and started grad school. I immediately I made a small group of close friends. Last weekend there was a misunderstanding with one of my friends, and it was embarassing for me and awkward. I apologized and everything was great again. I told another friend what happened and that I was embarassed and sad about it. I think that friend might have told her what I said because she is giving me the silent treatment both when I message her online and in class. I asked her if she could make my birthday and she refuses to respond and turned away when I asked her in class. I dont want to ask her if shes mad at me because I dont know her THAT well, this isnt like a bestfriend from 10 years ago. I think shes over me for good. How should I handle this, I'm depressed and alone

was in their very early twenties and had started a profession but made a lot of mistakes and lost all their confidence in themselves. That person is hardworking but discouraged by not doing well enough. Cries over career choice. Feels bad around veteran workers. Said person wants that job but wants to quit because they see no potential for professional their life?

i was at the lab, it was dark and there was a lot of things on the table: my head set, pens, keyboard, mouse, charger, and a cable. my friend came and sat next to me, we were discussing the homework she went to the class and forgot her phone on the table next to my laptop. after 2 minutes it was still dark, there was no light in the lab, as i do every time, i placed everything in my bag and my pocket. and i went to eat something before i go to the same class. i received a call from her friend when i was eating, i answered the phone and i apologized. i gave her her phone back. she is my best friend and i feel guilty for this mistake. i don't want her to think that i have meant to do that. i told her that it was dark at the room and that it was a mistake, she told me it's OK, and that she is happy that the phone was with me, not someone else but i feel so bad, should i text her and explain how it happened.

Okay, so there is some 6th graders in my middle school that are really annoying and play roblox or minecraft or some cringy game like that. Anyway, some older kids give them a hard time and shove them. And that's too far for me. But here is the thing, i'm the biggest kid out of my grade and the 8th grade. (i'm in 7th). Im 6 ft, and pretty built, so everyone takes me seriously. But these bullies just won't leave these kids alone. I've told them to knock it off, and they did. But when I left I saw one of them start kicking the kid. I've told the teachers, but they are all to lazy to do ****. So I saw this bully start hitting these little kids today, and I walked up and shoved the bully, and yelled at him. (I was beyond pissed). But this bully got up and tried to swing at me, so I shoved him back down, then he got up and ran away. The other bully who is older, but weak and shorter, tried to punch me, but I twisted his arm really hard and he friggin' cried about it. He told me to fight him tomorrow, me vs. his stupid buddies. But I know I might really hurt someone on accident. I am 6 ft, 145 ib., and pretty built I guess. I don't want to accidentally give this dude a concussion and get my family sued or something. There is this really cool cop that works on campus, but I couldn't find him. So, I have two choices. Watch little 6th graders get beat up, or beat the living **** out of 8th graders. I think I know my choice, but what's your opinion?

I remained good friends with my ex wife's mom and dad after the divorce and she was OK with that. Her mom and dad called me to invite me over dinner. I gladly accepted as her mom is a great cook. After dinner they told me my ex wife was getting married again and told me who the guy was. They really disliked him and did not want her to marry him. I had to agree with them that in my opinion, the guy is a bum. He is 28 years old, lived with his parents and has never had a job in his life. He is a high school drop out. They told me their daughter would not listen to them but she greatly respected my opinion and asked me to talk to her out of marrying this guy. What is so unexplainable is that she likes expensive jewelry, luxury cars, and the latest in fashion clothes. All of these things are expensive. I am conflicted about this. Even though I would like to help my ex wife as a friend in this situation, I don't think I should be telling her who she should marry. Please let me have your thoughts on what I should do. Ladies, I would really like you input. I don't plan to talk to her unless she ask for my advice. Even then I am not sure what I should say. Is my staying out of this the right thing to do?

A few days ago I tested him. He was outside the classroom door with our friends as usual, so I walk up behind him and give him the ugly face as a greeting like always(I do that to all my friends), he turned around, looked at me but walked away without acknowledging me. Yes, there's a possibility he was mad at me, but I know I did't do anything because we rarely speak outside of school. And in school, I only get to see him for a few minutes every day. Just yesterday, I tested it out again by saying "hello" to him directly, but he did the same thing. I said it loud enough 4 him to hear so there's no excuse. As for being mad, same thing. But then again, this could mean anything, right? How can I know 4 sure that he doesn't want to be my friend? any tips on how I can tell if he's lying too would be great!

im going on holiday. On friday, Im 14 Female. I get survere cramps every night and dioreha everyday. Im currently not sure why. Ive seen doctor got a blood test and poo test and they came back clear. It is really stressful. its going to ruin my holiday. I cant be a normal teenager and go to sleepovers bc of this! I dont want to have dioreha at my friends house! Im wanting to know if the dioreha tablets work so i can take them on holiday. I dont want to need to take a huge dump which takes at least a hour while away.

I wanted to have a small sleepover with at most 3 of my closest friends that I've known the longest but now I feel guilty. I have a lot of friends but I only wanna spend time with a couple for my 16th. Now people are guilt tripping me saying "She invited you to her party, why didn't you invite her?" and my other friends are pouty about it. Am I doing something wrong? Should I of asked or is it my decision to make? How do I make them feel better?
