How can I stop being a toxic person? I think I'm a toxic person, since I have been having trouble with people.... I mean they don't like me.. and I'm guessing it's me. I'm going to be 27 in a few days and I literally have no friends.. only one, but she's married and she's always with her husband... I have a bf but he said I'm not his friend only his girlfriend... So that don't help 😕 Im a nice person, I never insult ppl. I don't party or drink, so I'm more of a calm person. I like shopping, make up, clothes, movies, hiking, traveling, learning new things, and I love working. (No one ever cared to want a friend at work) And I've never found a friend at places where I like going..and I just feel lonely. ... So I don't know what's wrong with me.. if anyone can help me please. Thank you.

So at lunch at school me and my other friend are always being ignored so we talk to eat other. But the thing is that even when we try to talk we always get interrupted and the convo the other people have are always sexual and it's getting annoying. And it's not just that the only conversation they seem to have now always turn into some weird sexual fan fiction or kink ****. And even when I asked a simple question they always turn it sexual. Like I'm ok with a joke here and there but it's annoying just every single day and every single minute of lunch its just sexual talk. And it's getting annoying and they purposely interupt me and my friends just to say something sexual. I asked my friend if she had and pickles and she said "both ways no. I'm a girl" like for **** sakes. Please help with a way to get then to stop being so rude and constantly having a sexual to extremely sexual conversation. Its annoying and I just want to have a normal conversation because I only see them at lunch and some things should be said while your eating lunch.

I have this friend that i haven't seen or talked to in three years, but she goes to my school now. I have been working up the courage to say hi but i cant seem to get close to her without freaking out. I have been watching her from afar and taking pictures afar when i see her outside. I found out her bus number and that her bus is right next to mine and found out that she is an only child and has a cat and dog. Do you think this is stalkerish?

I am dealing with 2-3 kids and they bully me a lot but I just got in a fight and it was a draw. Kinda. And I just went to the bathroom and when I walked out they were walking towards me and they made fun of me for losing what do I do help!!?!!

I am a 17-year-old girl, my best friend is a 19-year-old guy. He's my childhood best friend's and we're basically each other's first real friends. today is my birthday (i turned 17) and I asked him yesterday if he wants to hang out maybe? He said he had something important to do in New York. I said it's alright and I wished him a safe flight. Anywayy his father knows a lot about medicines and i had something like a school project so I went to his dad to help me with my project and I went there we started working and then we realized that the thing/machine we need is his son's house (my best friend's house,, he lives alone). So we went there, the house was empty as expected. I realized there was a party thrown outside in the backyard (the backyard is so huge and it has a pool so that's where he usually throws parties) I spotted my best friend and then he saw me and the second we made eye contact I grabbed my bag and told his dad that my mom needs me urgently (I lied) and I apologized for wasting his time. I ran outside avoiding my best friend but he was walking towards me. I ignored him & went to my house. I'm so mad at him but he's calling right now & I keep ignoring it His mom has invited me and my parents to dinner tomorrow (my parents and his parents are close too) and he will be there and I don't know what to expect, ppl would normally tell me to forget what he did but there's no way I'm letting it slide. I'm sorry if it was too long. thanks in advance.

This girl has caused me so much anxiety and stress this past few years. This is because sometimes she always backs out on our promises. For example, she told me that she would come to class and the next day, she is absent which makes me alone the whole school day. I told her that she should text me beforehand if she's gonna be absent but she never does. And one time I told her to come to school because we had to present something important to the class, and guess what she didn't come. I texted her and she told me she came in the morning but she was sick so she was sent home, obviously this was a lie. When I talk with my other friends, she is very possessive. She links her arms with me as if she doesnt want me to be close with my other friends. And she also told me that she feels uncomfortable when I talk with my other friends. Also one time I told her that I already had other plans with my friends and she called me a traitor. I was terribly hurt by this but after that she said that she was just joking but after, she continued telling me that i was a traitor. Because I felt so bad and I felt like I owed her something, i bought her something in return like a gift. When she gets into a fight with other people, i always take her side because im scared that she would lash out at me but in truth i think that shes wrong but i dont say anything. But ther are also other times when she doesnt seem toxic. For example, she gives me advices and compliments me. Is she toxic or not?

BQ: Are you the type that intervenes in bullying or do you just do nothing when you witness that situation?

My best friend has been showing a lot of affection toward me.we live together. she touches me a lot, if we are close. I tested it last and i adjusted to move my arm or leg, she would soon after move closer to me and have her hand on me again. she has said things like "who needs a man when I have you"I'd marry you if you" but says it like a joke.She spends most of her free time with me, and our other friends consider us a unit. She shows LOT of signs of being romantically interested in me, and when I explain, a lot of people agree.Despite all of the seemingly flirtatious behavior, she still talks to men.She says that she is straight and is talking to one guy. She has never had sex or fallen in love with any guy.Part of me wonders if she just says she is straight because she isn't ready.She has said if she ends up falling in love with a woman than it is what it is. she has been saying that she likes this guy and is going to date him probably, and talks about romance involving men. Does she act this way because she thinks I'm not interested back? Is she just doing it because we are best friends and she thinks there are no feelings? I am asexual so my feelings aren't rooted in sex, but our emotional bond. I would be ok with having her as either my best friend or gf.I don't want to talk to her til I have a grasp on my own thoughts, as well as I want to be more sure. I'm asking because I want others input. I don't want to risk our friendship bringing up feelings if there are none.

We've been on two really fun dates. One lasted till almost 4am! We definitely had a great connection. So towards the end of the date I asked if she wanted to pray for each other. We are both praying people. I asked because we talked about spiritual stuff throughout the night. Her response was no only if we're intimate. I told her that's actually how I feel and agree...I just wasn't asking because I felt intimate yet. She asked if I've done that before with a girl I say no and she said "interesting ". So now it's been a few weeks... I already knew it would be a few weeks or so before we could get together again(she said so at the end of the date). We've been texting once or so a week just checking in on availablilty. She's been too busy. I did run into her out shopping with her kid...then she said "see you soon " as she left. Now I'm just starting to get scared she's loosing interest because of the time and afraid she was freaked out by me asking to pray for each other. Should I text her saying that" I hope that didn't freak you out "?! I need some advice here please. I'm really trying not to have her lose interest in the really good connection we shared. Thanks for your advice with this! Also she last texted me last Wednesday. Should I wait or text her today? Should I just come out and ask her if she is freaked out by that or still interested? She is going through a divorce and has a kid and is busy that I understand but I'm just starting to think she might lose interest.

One of my friends has this older brother who I have only met once before. During that meeting he asked if anyone was sitting in that seat next to me. I said no. He then asked if I would mind if he took the seat. I said yes. I don t know why I said it but I felt really bad. Now me and his sister are really close and I see him sometimes but we never speak. I feel so guilty and I want to apologize but I don t think he remembers. How do I get rid of this guilt without looking like a weirdo?

I heard some of the girls at school talk about their boyfriends being hung. I did not want to appear stupid and ask them what that meant so I asked the guys in my next class if they were hung. I was hoping they would tell me what that meant. They all said they were. Isn't that an amazing coincidence that they were all hung. How can that be explained? It must be common if all the guys in my class are this way. I still don't know what it means. Can someone tell me?

A few weeks ago a friend ask if he could come and stay with us while he did a job in my area. Usually his jobs only last a few weeks but after I said yes I found out it s going to be for four months. We can not do this for that long but I will loose his friendship if I back out now. I am so stressed about this, What can I do to get out of this ?

I'm a 15 yr old girl in year 9 and i have no friends. When i say that, i mean literally no one. At lunch and recess I go read in the library alone. In classes I barely speak and don't sit next to many people. What's surprising is i'm not too upset by this, although sometimes i feel lonely and like an outsider. In primary school I had friends, i was "popular", everyone would follow me around and play with me. Ever since I moved to highschool, having 7 different classes that change every 6 months has made it very difficult for me to make friends. I just don't understand how some people can just meet someone and immediately become best friends. By the end of year 8 people have started to notice I'm always alone, and knowing me as the "silent" girl. I don't hear what people say about me, but I'm certain they talk behind my back. I'm sure I'm infamous with the teachers too. I hate it. Whenever the teacher announces we need to find a partner, I feel terrible because I'm always the girl who goes up to the teacher saying "i don't have a partner'. I don't care about having friends, I've even forgotten what it's like, but I just hate the embarrassment. Please don't recommend a psychologist because I went one time and it did not help at all. So I was wondering, is it really abnormal to not have friends? What can I do to avoid embarrassment and appear normal? I feel a bit like I'm a sociopath...

So my friends living in Asia. He has some issues with his family and he recently changed his phone number without sharing it with his family in England. Now im getting regular calls from his family because they know im in contact with him. They say theyre worried etc.. and ive sent my friend the screenshots of the conversations and tried to encourage him to communicate with them. He hasnt... Normally i have a strict rule about giving out peoples contact info without their permission. So my real question is this. Is it morally ok to share his number after hes made it very clear he doesnt want me to? Should i make an exception for family? whats the protocol for this situation? Feels like i have to make the choice between betraying someones trust or leaving someone to worry in uncertainty. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Where i live everyone i meet is like this, They cannot go into certain restaurants or stores anymore. They cannot go into certain areas due to EPOs being placed on them. They are always in court. They are not allowed to handle certain things like knives, guns, stuff of that nature. Sometimes they come up to me and tell me they been under house arrest, or they're out on probation. All of the women and men I meet around here where I live are this way. What should I do?

I met a girl in my chemistry class last week, and we immediately clicked. Conversation was going well and we had our major & some other things in common. Basically, I asked on 2 separate occasions if she was going out to some parties this weekend. She said she'd let me know, but never got back to me. I look on her snapchat stories and see that she's out both times. She didn't text me or anything. She continues to be nice to me in class, but I got a weird feeling about it. Next class I decided to sit with other people & go out with them instead. I felt like she might have only been nice to me because I revealed I was smart & good at chemistry. What would u have done?

Hi everyone! Can I get input on this situation I'm in with my new share house, please? - I just moved in and it's coincided with her starting an intense relationship with a new boyfriend. - The boyfriend has been over every weekend so far and is starting to stay during the week. I'm rarely/never told when he's coming over. I found out he was over the first time because I could hear a man's voice in the house. - I've lived with couples and people who have partners, but rarely heard them have sex. I hear these guys all the time, all the gory porn details because the townhouse is so, so small and the single and only bathroom we have is joined to her bedroom. I've spoken to my housemate about it, so she's started sneaking him into the house after she thinks I've gone to bed. - She admitted she could be more considerate. - One night I was sick, housebound and had an at home doctor coming. My housemate knew, still said I should make myself scarce and had a six hour sex-athon and smoked weed. I couldn't wear headphones because I was puking, had nausea and a headache. - When I had my interview with her I stated that I want to live in a drug free house. I'm worried that I'm being prudish, but I'm uncomfortable. A bit of moaning, a cry on occasion, fine. But this is just too much. I also need a break from her boyfriend because we don't gel with each other. I've been upset with her since the sex-athon and the weed smoking. Does it sound like I'm mismatched and should move out?

We've been broken up for months. I texted him that I missed him and he went on a rant and wrote essays about how I hurt him etc it's been months but he was going on and on. i said things happened and were said that should t have. Then he went on to say how do you suppose things would workout now? How do you undo what was done etc I said better than the first time since experienced makes one better. He went on to say that he's spent the time bettering himself etc and that he didn't want to put himself in a situation that would hurt him again. I said I didn't want a relationship that would cause pain either and that I never meant to hurt him. He didn't respond I asked what are you doing. He replied a couple hours later that he was asleep. The following day we had a conversation I said it was hit and he said I should have my landlord install an ac unit. Couple days passed and I got a bit annoyed that he didn't text and thought maybe he was waiting for me and I was leaving the country. I said you despite all that I gave you the benefit of the doubt. It realized to no end. I say I miss you but you're still stuk in the past bitnerrness and resentment. He replied ok. I'm not going to argue with you. Enjoy your trip I didn't reply. Knowing his personality and the things he's said before and that he expected me to apologize I'm assuming he wants me to try harder so I don't hurt him. He didn't say I don't have feelings for you etc

I recently found out my best friend has a boyfriend, and they've been dating for a few weeks. I only found out from someone else -- and not her, which kind of hurts me. And, I know I'm being overly-sensitive but I can't help but feel hurt because she told EVERYONE individually -- texted them and everything about all of the little things they've done together -- except for me; she doesn't even know that I found out. I feel like she's only been talking to me when nobody else can talk to her... And I have a feeling people might say I'm overreacting.. but it kind of really hurts my feelings.. haha... What should I do?

I'm a guy and my friend is a woman (let me state right away that there's nothing else going on besides being friends). Anyways before I met her I was really depressed and even thinking about ending it... but since she came along it completely turned around my life, she's like family too me, but I don't know how to explain all this too her...

Me & my ex have been friends for the past few years but recently we were hanging out by the swing & I glanced over his phone & noticed he had texted himself photos of me naked. He had forgotton to exit the tab had it not been for that I would of never known after bringing it up he admitted that he has done it in the past too out of spite because I had cheated on him. I don't know if this is reason enough to end our friendship but a part of me feels betrayed I never expected this from him because he has always done so much for me & has been there for me through a lot of life events. I just need different perspectives thank you to everyone who helps me in this tough time.

I'm a very awkward person. I can't even talk to my teachers or the kids in my class. I try to avoid eye contact. It sucks when you have no confidence at all, a low self esteem, the fear of being judged, and anxiety. I want to make friends in high school, but I just can't. I feel so uncomfortable... I feel like there's nothing to talk about when I have to work with someone I don't know. I feel self conscious around everyone... pretty girls and guys.
