This guy I'm friends with is always touching on me on my butt and private areas and I always tell him to stop but he doesn't and just laughs about it. Im always with my friend when I'm around him and he never does this to her. He grabs on me, pulls on my arm and just doesn't listen when I tell him to stop. It's not just him but other guys think it's okay to just touch on me but I don't see them do this to other girls. these guys dont even be attracted to me but they dont do this to any of the girls they "like." I always tell them to stop but they just laugh and keep going. why do guys always do this to me and why do they ignore me when I tell them to stop

Ari, my best friend went to Becky's (my "enemy" ) birthday weekend party recently. I used to be friends with Becky but she stabbed me in the back. Becky is the reason that me and Ari stopped being best friends the FIRST time. She basically took over. It started with Becky following her around to the point where Ari and i couldn't have alone time, then Ari started hanging with her more than me, Becky and Ari got close. to the point where Becky felt comfortable enough to talk dirt about me to Ari and she allowed it, Becky's friends disrespected me on the internet and Ari is just like "not my problem", Ari eventually chose her over me and told me we should just be friends instead of best friends. I told her i wasn't interested and i cut her off. I was tired of suffering. Months later Ari messaged me randomly asking if we could talk it out. we talked and decided to start over as best friends. We got super close. Closer than we'd ever been before. Trusting her again wasn't easy, but I'm trying my best. But since she went to that party and didn't tell me. I had to find out on social media. I talked to her about it and she tells me "im sorry. that was wrong. I was scared on how you'll react. I meant to tell you". Because she did that i can't help but trust her less... i don't know how i feel about her hanging out with Becky. She's the reason me and Ari fell out. And Her not telling me she was going also makes me feel a way. Ari insists she's not switching up on me again but idk...

Help! I feel complicated, why? Because I quit my favorite dance club and I only did it because the leader of the group kicked out my BFF. And my so called friends didn't care. A 4th grade dancer

My friend is very difficult to approach about certain things. He doesn't speak out about how he feels and is very closed shop too. I find it very difficult at times. He seen me make out with a guy at a party and walked off. When he walked off I looked back at him and he was giving me daggers. Another time I kissed a guy he tore up off the chair and walked off. When I went after him he told me to get away from him that he hated me. He wouldn't tell me why. I told him that if he continues this behaviour me and him won't speak anymore. He began to cry and kept saying to me that that will never ever happen to stop saying that and hugged me telling Me he was sorry. He still refuses to tell me why he is acting like this though.

I just cancelled on my friend, I was supposed to go to her party in a few hours and I just told her I couldn't. The reason is, I just found out today that my mother may have cancer. I feel like I need to be with my family right now, so I told her I couldn't go to the party (I didn't tell her specifically why). She got furious at me for cancelling so late notice, and when I apologized I told her about my mom. She since has not responded to my texts or called me. Part of me feels so guilty for cancelling on her so late notice, but the other part of me is upset with her for not even responding to see if I'm okay. Am i in the wrong? Should I just show up to the party?

I have a friend who always (and I mean always) uses the bathroom with the door wide open - whether pee or poop. If you're talking to her, she'll casually follow you to the bathroom if you have to go and she'll expect you to follow her when she has to go. She even does this with people she doesn't know that well. I was a bit taken aback the first time she did this with me, but I got used to it and it doesn't bother me. However, mutual friends of ours have confided in me that it makes them uncomfortable. How do I explain this to her? We're both in our late 20s and it doesn't seem to have ever occurred to her that going to bathroom is something that most people prefer to do in private.

My friend is a shy home-dweller and I m the person that loves to be outside and do things with friends. She s distant and would rather draw at home than come over and watch a movie. A month ago, we planned for her to come over today from 4:30 to 9 and to come watch a movie, have dinner, and hang out to forget about High School worries. But an hour ago, she texted saying that she would like to shorten it from 5 to 7, hardly enough time for even a movie itself. She claimed she has a math project she would like to finish. But it s due in two weeks, and she is already halfway done. I am rather positive she s just shortening it so she doesn t have to be over as long and try not to hurt my feelings or whatever. She s an amazing, unique person, but it s so hard to connect with her and it s hard to just constantly be let down over and over again. I just don t know what to do or how to feel anymore.

I m a lone wolf.. I hangout alone all the time when I go outside to get fresh air or just simply walk the streets or go to the mall, eat out etc.. I was just wondering do people care why a handsome guy hanging alone with no family or a lady right by his side? I admit, I don t enjoy hanging alone..... But all my friends are married with kids, so I can t asked them to hangout anymore.. Most people I see don t care but others do look at me with strange eyes.. Some even gets intimidated by me....

In my first year of University I used to masturbate alot in my bed. But one time I wanted to hump a pillow so I used my roommate's pillow. He later found out and what is wprse is that he thought I masturbated in his bed. So now i'm disgusted by the thing I did and I hate the fact that the guy thinks im a disgusting dick Ps: Im a very clean guy and he did alot worse like bringing alot of people all the time and keeping fish outside the fridge for a week which stinks. All this happened 3 years ago.

My best friend of 22 years is deploying to the Middle East come January 2019. I want to get her a small but special gift to send with her. I'm stumped. She's a minimalist that probably won't like that I got her something, but it's her very first deployment. I love Etsy if that helps!

How do I finally let go of a friend. Especially when i work with them and still care about them. They dont reciprocate the friendship

Last night my friends threw a Halloween house party and my friend from work came over. She is 27. Anyways she had quite many shots of tequila and she blacked out. We had to carry her to another room to sleep.

They won't let me go trick or treating with friends, they treat me like I'm five, and they won't even let me use the toaster. Is this normal? Everytime I fight with them about it they tell me I'm being spoiled and they just don't want me to die. But I'm old enough to know what's good and what's bad. Contrary to what they think, I'm a good kid. I've never even gone to the principals office. So when they treat me like I'm a baby it makes me annoyed. Especially when I have to tell my friends things like "I can't go trick or treating with you because my parents think I'll be kidnapped." And ideas on how to address my parents about it would be ideal.

So basically last night people sent a picture of a text conversation with my dad in the grade chat and it was me saying shut up and being disrespectful and my dad saying that I am going to kick all my friends out of the house and another conversation saying that if u don't apologize to this kid don't bother coming home tonight I know he didn't actually mean it but ppl take things the wrong way can this ruin my reputation?

Friend lives 60 miles away from town.She comes here every weekend and wants to use my place as her pitstop where she can shower, do makeup/hair and freshen up. I don't want issues because I'm a female who lives alone and don't want the hair in my drain,makeup everywhere, "can I borrow your makeup/shampoo, hair crap" issue to come between us. Also, I only want my own A## washed in my shower, not another chicks cooter. How do I tell her nicely, no???

I don't even know how to put this into words but I feel like ever since I was little I have felt like I just don't connect or relate to people hardly. I've had friends here and there in my life but they just never stuck. I've never had really good, close, long-term friendships. And I struggle to ever find a concrete group of friends. I feel like I just don't even know how to talk to people without drinking honestly. I'm so nervous and wound-up and I have anxiety and just can't relax until I drink. It's become a problem, I'm not an alcoholic or a big drinker at all but I mean it could become a problem in the future. And also I just feel like other women that I see just in general - in real life or on social media are so much cuter and prettier than me and it just makes me feel awful about myself. I feel so gross looking and unattractive compared to them. I feel that I'm weird looking. I have kind of a weird face. I'm refering to regular girls that aren't even celebrities they're just bloggers and influencers or whatever. It's like ... must be nice to be beautiful, I'll never know what that feels like. It's making me so miserable.

My friend is throwing this huge party and it's pissing me off because everyone is going to think he's really cool now and not me. It's ok a farm so no way I can call the cops about a noise complaint, so I was thinking of a different way to make everyone run for the hills and the party to be a disaster. I was thinking I could either tell everyone the juice was a little extra "Rapey" tonight and tell the girls that the hosy is a huge rapist. Either that or I could pretend to see a fire and then run through the party room like a madman, spraying the piss out of everyone with a fire extinguisher. Then I could blame him for having a fire and then I'd look like the hero who saved the day from his fire having ***. What do you think?

Unfortunately, I have no way to contact him to call him out to hang out somewhere so what can I do?

Is it ok for a person that's not a Christian and a Christian to be best friends? Because I'm a Christian and I have a best friend that's not a Christian and I kinda feel like she's going to bring me down because she drinks alcohol some but not much and I don't drink at all and she can be kind of inappropriate sometimes and she's a lot older than me but yet she says that me and her will always be friends but I don't know if I feel the same way or not and she says that she is here for me. I don't know how to act with this. What should I do?

Flights are not cheap. I can't afford to visit my best friend every year.

So I was doing dumb stuff with my friends breaking windows and throwing stuff down in the stores, my dumb punk *** was running away from the police and decided to stop cause I got scared. Every time I see a cop on TV or in real life I feel some type of way. It's like I feel like a punk, and hate them for what they've did to me, they broke my phone, and left all my objects on the street including my phone. They was ******* around with me in the department Gave me bruises and stuff, to be honest I'm mad my friends got away and they make fun of me until this day cause I got caught by the police for stopping and I'm depressed because of that. I let a cop **** me up. It's like I'm depressed till this day , and mad whenever my friends that got away is cool with cops cause they didn't get caught smh. My friends told me to do the dumb stuff too, damage was 1,500 dollars. This what my friend got me in to. My dad was like today don't do no dumb stuff with your friends again you're gonna get caught. That got me mad and sad cause he thinking I'm a punk and I won't get away from them, on Halloween I'm planning on doing that same dumb stuff with my friends and prove him wrong to myself. My friends and I ran from the cops multiple of times but I'm pretty sure they wasn't even looking for us cause we didn't do nothing we was just paranoid which makes me feel like a ***** dumbass punk. How do I get over this I thinking about ending my life from this whole negative timeline of mine in life.

My friends never tell me that they're doing something/made plans and tell me. When I figure out that they are doing something and ask why they didn't tell me or confront them about it they lie to me and give some BS answers. On the other hand, when I ask them if there's any plans, they either don't answer or they lie and do the same thing that I stated before.

I have this friend who I used to be pretty close with, but not so much lately. He's married, I'm a younger female who has a boyfriend. His wife and I are on great terms, love each other to death. I admit that I've had feelings for him in the past, but now my love for him is platonic. His wife has been there for me numerous times and it made me feel bad about ever having romantic thoughts about him. So, my mom passed away recently. Today was her memorial and my friend was not there, but his wife was. Granted, he likely had to work. However, he's known about this loss and the memorial for days and couldn't bother to ask off of work? Also, a few months back, I got baptized. I really wanted him there, as he introduced me to our church where I was saved and baptized. His wife was, again, there and he was not...due to work. He knew for WEEKS about my baptism day and still didn't bother asking off of work. Would you be a bit upset if your friend seemed to care more about work (he and his wife are financially stable, he takes off of work for irrelevant things all the time) than being there for you? And no, I was not in a relationship when I had feelings for my friend

I have known this girl for about 16 years. She was like a sister to me and a best friend. 3 years ago, she started a relationship with a guy she met through me (he was originally interested in me, that's how we met, but I wasn't interested so I introduced them). We used to all hang out together and everything was fine, even when they became a couple. As soon as they began living together about 2 years ago, things changed. She is extremely miserable with him, but won't leave him because she feels like she has nowhere else to go and he's helping her raise her two boys. Anyways, they started becoming very toxic to my life earlier this year and there was a big falling out back in June over how they were treating a mutual friend (who I was closer to, she's my best friend, I got them all to be friends) and in a way, I chose my best friend over them. I have tried numerous times to reach out to my former friend, to no avail. Well, my mom passed away last weekend and I wrote my former friend and told her about it and she wrote back and told me she was praying and she loves me and all that. Yesterday was her youngest son's birthday (my Godson/"nephew"....he has always called me his "aunt") and she invited my boyfriend and I over to celebrate, but yesterday was also mom's memorial so I didn't feel up to celebrating anything. We are going to visit them for a bit tomorrow, in order to visit with the boys and celebrate my Godson's birthday. Is it wrong to rekindle a friendship over a personal loss and also, over the kids that you former friend has? Don't get me wrong, I don't have ill feelings towards my former friend (just her boyfriend that she refuses to leave), but I also don't see us jumping back into our old ways of hanging out every weekend and being besties, ya know? We're 27.

This girl constantly follows me around, gossiping about everyone, and taking credit for work that she does not do or help with. I want her to stop, but she won't. It's annoying, and on top of that she tells so many lies, that she can't keep up with the one's she told.

I have a friend I was assigned to show around aince she was new. However since then, she has brought a knife to school and threatened a classmate s life. The classmate told the teachers and now she s in trouble and wants to murder the classmate who did it. The classmate is scared and my fruend chases him around and gets in even more trouble each time, always blaming the classmate. Because of the true rumors flying around about her having knives and bringing them to school, she has no friends except my group and I. She also claims to have depression but shiws no sign of having it besides conplained about being depressed and constantly drains my energy. We have all the same classes and I sit next to her in almost all of them. I have not wanted to be friends with her for a long time, but she refuses to let go, calling me her "best friend" when I want to get rid of her. She is also very rude to lots of people and while I tell her to be nice, she scowls at me and ignores me. She copies my homework, without and with my permission, is always late, and lies about having no sleep being self centered. I m not exagerating at all. She has literally done all these things, making up excuses and continues doing them. What do I do?

I tried to kill myself a few weeks ago (Im fine now lol) but I was wondering if I should tell any of my friends or family. I couldn't find anything on the interwebs (Yikes). I'm worried if I tell anyone they'll treat me differently. Thank you for your time! Much love! -Some guy who gets really sad sometimes

So I'm 20 (we'll call me Cheyenne). My best friend is 25 (we'll call her Ari) and her boyfriend is 35 (we'll call him Eli). Her bf hates me. At first I didn't know this, because when I see him, he smiles in my face and is very polite (asks me how I'm doing, asks me about my academic career and so on). So when I heard from my other bestie (we'll call her Em) that Eli was talking about me, I was quite shocked. Em told me that he had been complaining about how I'm a brat and how I have an attitude, and how I was a problem and he didn't want me around. The second time she told me this, she had proof. She recorded her recent conversation with Eli. He said: "I'm ******* sick of Cheyenne. She's a problem. She's rude and irritating. I hate she's Ari's closest friend. Why can't she go hang with other friends more so I don't have see her? I'm tired of you and Ari defending her. I don't know why you guys want her around. I don't give a **** about her or how good of aperson she is. I don't want to see her again." And I don't know where this is coming from. I admit, I am outspoken, but I'm not ill-mannered. I make it an effort to be courteous to others and give other people respect. I've never insulted him or been impolite to him or Ari. So I don't know why he's calling me a brat and saying that I'm rude. Most of the time, when he comes to Ari's apartment I'll leave to give them space. I'm only around when Ari invites me. I don't know why he hates me so much. What should I say to him?

There had been a misunderstanding between me(guy) and my friend(her). Long story short, I felt self-conscious of what she said, and decided to draw away from her. She noticed, wanted to talk to me over lunch, which we talked it out and we're okay now. At first, she seemed to be in shocked that I took offense of what she said but she told me she'd respect my opinion and although she seemed to remain friends with me, she was worried that I'd be uncomfortable with her. I apologized for my self-conscious actions, which was sort of avoiding her and she also apologized too. Because of that I was worried that she'd be uncomfortable with me but I don't want to lose a good friend and neither does her. I asked her to have brunch with me next week, I thought I'd make her feel uncomfortable and thought she'd say no but she accepted my invitation.

What really bothered me was that she would stay up watching her tv shows/ music til 2 am. Either on her Laptop/TV/Phone. I've already told her if she can keep it down when I'm sleeping but that lasted for 2 days. She refuses to wear earphones b/c she says her ears would start hurting in less than an hour and it sucks how I have to compromise everything. I've been using earplugs for 2 straight weeks and earphones to block off the noises she makes. It's gotten to the point where my ears are starting to hurt. Usually in the mornings my parents drop me off and if I make the smallest noise she'll be all dramatic and start moving all over in her bed making noises as a way of complaining I'm making too much noise but she can't keep her shows quiet when I sleep at night,I've talked to the RA and were able to compromise. She now has to lower her volume when I sleep usually 11pm. In a way I think it's gotten better? But I can tell she's either annoyed that she has to lower her shows or she just can't stand me b/c I got the RA involved. There was already tension between us b/c we stopped talking in September but now it got worse. I'm planning on changing rooms and idk if I should tell her or just ask for her signature to have me changed when the day comes.

I had no friends locally, so I made a group of friends via Meetup...we weren't close but they were cool people to go out with so at least I had a social life. A guy started coming to the Meetup and became very popular very quickly, he became one of the core members within just months. I started dating this guy and we were very happy...but he became abusive and ended things when I stood up to him about this. Now it feels like I can t be around this Meetup group, even if he didn't bad mouth me and even if he wasn't with them when I joined them...they are very clearly his friends now, so it's just not comfortable. I feel terrible now I have no one and without Meetup options for meeting new people are limited, also I don't feel comfortable going to the places I used to go in case I run into them. I don't care about the breakup, it just feels unfair I've lost potential friends and he's out having loads of fun while I'm miserable stuck at home with no social life.

I love her like she is my sister. She is the closest friend ive ever had and even she admits that. However, we had a fight a couple of days ago. We were play fighting, I took it too seriously and told her about all the times she has let me down. Then the next day, we came across each other in the hallway. She said "wanna fight?" I faked a laugh, as she would always joke like that. "For real?" I asked, and her face hardened. She nodded. She has always been the one to take conflicts poorly, like gossiping abt others or bluffing about fights. Then we fake fought, though she seemed angry and was just covering it up as a "fake fight". Her energy was crazy negative and I just wanted to leave. She says sh*t about me to her sisters, bc I remember a time when one of them messgaed me on Instagram calling me names and blaming me for the incident (though it was both of our faults and we were chill after that). I told her a while ago to talk about things if stuff were to happen between us instead of holding onto that anger. She said of course, you re my best friend and I don t wanna lose you (something like that). We have our toxic moments but for the most part, I love her a lot and would take a bullet for her. However, things aren t the same and the friendship feels forced now. I apologized (in person) but she didn t respond... What do I do

So I do not fit in anywhere... right when I think I found a group of people they will use me and **** me over. I am always the second choice, if they see their friends they will leave me and treat me like ****. It hurts so bad because I do anything for anyone... I always put people before me and I just do not know what is wrong with me. During lunch I will sit with a group then they will disclude me from the conversation and completely sit in the opposite direction so that I can not even hear them well. I know I am a cry baby it is just so hard to have no friends in high school... I want friends who I can chill with and get high and have fun. Instead I am alone, I have no where else to sit so I am thinking I should just hang out in the bathroom?? Ugh, there is literally no other option. There is a section with an empty table I could sit at but there are guys who always hit on me and make me feel uncomfortable because they are seniors and I am a sophomore. Please Please Please help
