I have an emo friend and he was saying " my life sucks, my dad yelled at me yesterday". And I just thought...and? My house doesn't even have runnin water and i don't complain.

Is it weird? Is not that an oxymoron?

We're both adults. We've known each other since childhood, for almost 10 years now (since we were 10/11) We attend the same university, though we stopped talking years ago, when we were around 17/18. As kids, we had a very faulty friendship. We always fought and she was embarrassed to be seen with me. I was very shy and she was quite "popular." She mistreated me and even bullied me pretty badly back in the day. She was constantly rude to me and told other people how "weird" I was. We had a countless number of arguments. She suddenly zoned me out for no reason around three years ago and deleted me from Twitter and Instagram. She acted as if I don't exist for a good year, and I never contacted her. Last year, she popped back in and started texting me, asking me how I am. She claims she stopped talking to me because "she isn't good at keeping in touch with people" and that she was "never upset with me", which probably isn't true. We even hung out twice, though it was very awkward. Now, she stops talking to me for months at a time and randomly contacts me out of nowhere, asking to hang out again. I respond and she doesn't for two months, then comes back and says, "Do you want to hang out?" It's very peculiar. I don't understand her behavior at all. What do you think is up?

Is she disrespecting her friends marriage or husband? Clarification: encouraging her married friend(female) to make oral sex a quid pro. If I give you this, you give me that. sex with her husband

Years ago, my friend would always post pictures of us, comment them back, post on my wall. Then she met her bf, got married and moved away 5 years ago. The husband has never liked me. Me and her got in a fight and unfriended on social media at that time. 5 years later, we are fine. It took awhile for me to be added back on her social media due to her husband saying for her to be careful, didn't want me to see pics etc. She has started to visit again. The 3 times she has visited over the past year or so, we would take pictures and catch up, just me, her and group of friends. She posts pictures with her family all the time(husband and baby) and the other friend she visits on a different day but never me. I will always send her the pics and say "you can post these if you want" yet she never does. I never force her to. I am always the one posting pictures every time she visits after waiting a few days and lets it go. It's not a huge thing, it's bothersome though. I was gonna ask her about this, thought I'd ask you guys first what do you think? I feel it is because of the husband personally but would like to hear other's opinions.

So I have this friend... She really helped me a lot during those times when I was going through an identity crisis. She was the one I always confided to and that's what brought us closer to each other. She comforted me and made me feel accepted. And for that, I am very thankful. I actually considered her as one of my best friends. But recently, I found out that she's been telling other people about very personal things that I've told her. I was deeply hurt because of this. I don't even know how to confront her about this. I just stopped replying to her messages. It's killing me that I'm not talking to her. At the same, I'm still so mad knowing that she went behind my back. What should I do? :(((

Long story short a friend of mine and I have grown apart she s a great Person but she s also toxic and of course she s moving up in the company and going to be my boss next month. She s always treated me like crap at work and then wanted me to go out drinking with her and another coworker I m moving away from as a friend which Ivesropped doing. She makes me do all the work on the line and runs me ragged while she s in charge, berating me with snotty quips how I m not doing enough and now She s got it in her head I talk about her and makes comments that I can call her a ***** and before I can talk to her she walks away . What the f$$$? What do I do about this? I m scared I m gonna lose my job because of drama and stupid s$$$. I instinctively want to tell her about herself but at the same time I think that would be a bad idea. The job I work at isn t great at dealing with hr situations so I m lost? Any advice please?

I took a picture at prom with my friend (who's a male). And it was the only nice picture I got because I had forgotten to take pictures due to enjoying the night the whole time. I only have very few pictures and my parents are demanding to show them at least a good picture of me at prom and I replied, "My friend has them so I'll show you sometime soon." And yet there's a nice picture of me and my male friend together and I want to show my parents it because it's really nice but the only problem with it is the male friend. I'm not dating him nor do I plan to, and my parents tend to assume stuff often. Will they take the picture too far? If they take it too far it will be so awkward, so how do I make sure they know that we're actually not together???

Some of my neighbors have adopted children. I've met a lot of them in my life. It seems like a lot of families with adopted kids are actually there to parent them properly. As in, they're less likely to let the kid play video games all day and not know what goes on in their lives because of "lazy" parenting. I'm not generalizing as I say "a lot", just that I observe some of these parents are more involved with their child's school/social life, schoolwork, and whatever else.

Say you say it to a friend and you and your friend laugh it off but a teacher hears it and gets mad saying it "degrades" the speds at the school then sends you down to the office. The friend you aid it to doesn't care, you don't care, and there was barely anyone else around, and you didn't say it to an actual regard. Can they for real get you in trouble for that and what's protected by the First Amendment?

I have suffered for years trying to keep friends who don't respect me. They don't keep secrets, are quick to put what they think is my business out in the street and talk crap about me behind my back. One of them likes to argue with me alot and speaks to me in a condescending tone whenever they don't get their way. They have become more focused on partying and being popular then they are on maintain healthy relationships with people. Some people are telling me that I'm wrong to just abandon them after all of these years of friendship. I should take their feelings into consideration but I'm feeling like people are telling me that I'm wrong for feeling the way that I do and I should just suck it up. Am I wrong to just let it go after all of these years?

My roommates, my "friends", my family. Everybody. But everytime they talk to me I always find a way to smile and even find something nice to say sometimes even though I want to ******* punch their face till they drop ******* dead. At the same time I don't want to be alone. That's why I have no choice but to be with these people. And I really don't know why I feel this way. The last person I didn't hate was my ex who left me for someone else. It's been a year but I haven't felt the same ever since.

Where is this one girl and whenever I see her I just get so angry. We are part of the friend circle so I can't exactly ignore her. We have disagreed in the past before but it's never felt this bad. I am generally more outspoken than her and do tend to say if some borderline controversial things however most people don't really mind or get upset (I've asked begore) Maybe she's just sensitive or something, I don't really know.I was the watch she thinks we disagree so much and she said that we have different morals and that she can't really understand mine. I would never feel this hateful about anybody before and to be honest I don't really think I hate. I just want to be friends with her. Help please! First of thanks to anyone that answered my Q. Artemisia, I don't feel like I do that sort of thing but maybe to others it comes across that way. I've thought about it and maybe it's because of the way we say things. When this girl talks she will never say anything controversial, mean or anything that could be interpreted badly. I say the first thing that comes to mind so maybe people think I tried to be rude but I really amn't. The conflict is really getting to me. No bad intentions to her.

whenever I talk to anyone about my parents death or what my brother is going through I feel totally turned off and feel like I don't make any connection with the person I am talking to whether its a family member or friend.

I rekindle with my high school friend after several years of not seeing her. We have become good friends and actually hang out to get food, boba, coffee and more. She invited me to come clubbing with her and I asked her who's going and she said a bunch of people but when she told me the name of her friends it was mostly girls and her boy friend is not going. She keeps insisting for me to go but idk it thats okay to do. Ive gone clubbing with her before but her boy friend would be there and when she had a couple of drinks she told me that I owe her a dance. I feel like she is a friendly person but idk if she is starting to like me. What do you think?

My friend and I were talking about this and I said I would for family and not a stranger. She said she is disgusted by my behavior and now is ignoring me because I was being so rude. Would you donate to a random stranger?

My best friend since like 3th grade (now we're sophomores) started to be such an attention seeker lately these past two years. Her whole social media is her showing of her legs in a tight dress or her trying to show off her breasts. At parties, all she does is sit and twerk on guys. She's had sex once before too. And should I say she talks to 100+ men on social media, no joke. I'm not jealous or anything, it just bugs me how much she's changed. I'm more worried about grades and stuff, while she cares more about wearing revealing clothes. If I talk about grades and stuff, she'll be like "why do you even care about school just get a sugar daddy." She wasn't like this in middle school either, high school mainly. Like, I would want to talk to other people, but she's been my friend since we were like 8-9 and I can't just not talk to her and ignore her. Help?

Im 30, no kids, no husband and no best friends near by. Ive joined a few clubs and meetups of shared interests hoping to make new friends, but its hard at my age and people are not so willing. What could i do or join (besides the army and volunteering) that will give me a sense of belonging, or an opportunity to develop friendships and relationships?

Me and this girl were talking and we were going out, we even talked about dating in the near future. But she cut me off because she was dealing with personal problems. So today she said " I trust you but I have a lot of things going on in my personal life that I can't tell you in sorry". What could be going on in her life????? Yes she's really having personal problems

If you don't like this woman but it is business related, she ask for a favour and you have no choice but to agree if not business is off, you can just reply ok and noted and end the conversation quick because you don't like her and you are working as well and don't want to waste time texting her? But you keep texting Long sentences and she replied and you text again and this conversation goes on and on? If you don't like her, would you keep textI got Long sentence?

We went to university together and she was hot back then but I haven't seen her for 6 years and she's gotten fat
