It makes me feel so insuperior to them and like they must think I'm this loser who needs someone to call them "buddy" to make them feel comfortable.

Let me give some backstory. I've had a best friend, named Ashley, since I was 6 years old. (We are 14 now.) When we were kids, our friendship was very simple. We hung out nearly every day, and spent the night at each others house all the time. But, this past year, she got pretty bad anxiety. I was always there for her whenever she needed me. Whether she was texting me during the school day in class because she was upset, or 3 am. We talked all the time. Everyday. Multiple times. For hours. I didn't mind that she always needed me. Even though it was tiring sometimes, I wanted to help her. She was like my sister. But these past 2 or 3 months, she's been better. And I was so happy for her! Problem is, I have severe depression diagnosed by my doctor. I expected her to be there for me when I needed her too, which is much less than she needed me anyway. But she's always "too busy" playing video games on her PS4 to answer my messages. She always says she cares but it doesn't feel like it. I feel so alone when talking to her. I told her we couldn't be friends anymore. And i miss her so much. And I feel bad because before all this, we both promised to never leave, and to always be there for each other. I know she already broke her promise. But I didn't want to break mine. I feel bad but being friends with her was getting painful. I miss her. Am I the asshole?

My name is Luke, and im 23 years old. I was friends with this woman from work for almost a year. Her name is Ana, and shes around 35 married with 2 kids. Everyone knew i had a crush on Ana, even Ana knew. But we were still friends, she would always be soo happy when i was around her and she would always blush. We would laugh and talk alot, i even felt as is she would flirt with me Sadly our friendship began going downhill, coworkers began complaining saying that our friendship was innapropriate that it began causing drama. My manager told me to stop talking to Ana or i will find myself in trouble. Ana told me she felt so stressed out at work, that she almost walked out. Ana also told me the manager told her she cannot talk to me at work anymore or she will he fired. I felt like everything between me and Ana was okay... so one day in Decemeber i gave her a gift card for Christmas. Days later she sent my manager a long email. She said how she doesn't feel like coming to work because of the drama, and that my presence is affecting her. She also mantioned that i bought her a gift. My manager suspended me and moved me to a different floor. Now when i see Ana in the hall at work, she just looks at her phone. She doesn't even talk to me or any of my friends anymore. Apperantly she doesn't talk to anyone anymore and she just sits quietly in her desk. Why did she stab me in the back????? :(

ok so i have this friend who means so much to me, but doesnt know it. i really want to tell him how much he means to me but i usually dont express my feelings towards people so i dont really know how to do it. im going through a rough time and hes the only one who didnt ditch me even after we didnt talk for 9 months. he understood and i feel like he actually has respect for me and my feelings. hes the only one that can make me happy and i have alot of things that i want to say but i dont want to sound clingy or desperate. also i dont have a crush on him were just friends and have been friends for 2 and a half years. also i dont know how he would react if he would be happy or feel uncomfortable also ive only said to him before "your amazing" and he was happy about that

Over 10 years relationship since met up with him. Just casual friend. but after his status went high in career, he became more greedy, over confident and looks down people who is lower than him. I feel he is staying different world with me. I often feel disappointed with his behavour and talk. so i m leaving from him and cut ties.

Yes, this guy is hot and cold plus all over the place. I plan on ghosting him for a week..

My friends made a group chat around the April of 2018 and didn't invite me in it. Just recently they added me, but made me have three strikes. Apparently I broke their "rules" and they deleted me. I asked them to add me back, but one girl said that I shouldn't care so much since I wasn't in it in the first place. What should I do?

I've been so depressed lately over this. My friend from early middle school up to the end of seventh grade moved away, and we're still in contact. She's a good friend, but she's always grounded and we really don't get to talk to eachother like we used to. She's always there for me and I'm glad I can consider her a friend, but I"m starting to think that maybe she's holding me back from accepting that those times are over and that I need to move on from it and make new friends. Should I start distancing myself from her, completely end the friendship, or just continue as is?

On Friday & Saturday evenings, I usually hang out with a group of friends who live off campus. I met them during my freshman year of college & I'm still friends with them to this day, but I decided to stay on campus due to financial reasons. They either play video games/watch TV at their place or go to the bar/party. They don't have a problem with me coming over and visiting, but sometimes, I leave a couple of hours later after I hung out with them (pregaming), but I do stay at their place if the party scene is looking dull that evening. I even asked them and they said that they don't care & that I'm always free to make my own choices (by staying or going). Yet, some of their other friends visit & leave due to their work schedules & other obligations as well. This means that I'm not the only one out of their friend group that's staying or leaving. So, am I wrong for leaving them for a party, despite them saying that they never had a problem with it? I also forgot to add that I always join them if they go to the bar or something.

I work in a small department of a large company. There are 13 people in my department, mostly women. We have a great male boss. Besides being our boss he is our friend. We all just adore him. He sees that we are well trained and well paid. He will cover for us when we have doctor's appointments or school events for our kids. How many people reading this enjoy going to work each day. We do. We love to joke around with him and he loves for us to do it. One day in a staff meeting one of us as a joke said "Would I get a bigger raise if I wore a mini skirt to wok and showed a lot of cleavage"? Our boss said "no but you would sure make the male employees happy". "I hope you don't do that as you are so beautiful you will distract the male employees from their work". We all had a BIG LAUGH" at that. We were still laughing about this in the employee break room when employees from other departments told us we were receiving sexual harassment from our boss. Do you think we were?

I get along with my co workers but don't care to hang out and do things. I know some people are friends from work but I don't care to be friends with people from work. I do like my co workers I just don't care to hang out. I try to meet people other ways. There is a couple bars that I hang out at. I know some regs well and the bar staff. I'm good with that and they don't need to know where I go. At the moment I don't have many friends. I'm ok with that but i'm a likeable person and easy to make friends with. I'm older and it can be harder to make friends after high schoolor college. My child hood friends live far away. At least I have some good acquences.

I was able to get the cheerleaders and a lot of girls in our class to wear short shorts on my deaf friend's birthday. He love it. Other girls hated it on girl decided to dress her blind sister's dog in short shorts to mock my friends present. Bigger girls found it disrespectful that I didn't ask them. My friend loved the present. But it was a disaster for me because I had to hear these girls opinions

I am pregnant. My best friend is my best friend due to an unforeseen event. My sister died 4 years ago and was best friends with this person, though us grieving her death it has brought us super close. She is like a sister to me. I dont want to tell her in a plain way, I want something cute.

Received these apology emails recently: ---------------------------- I'm sorry that you had to see this. I baked you a ham sandwich as an apology. Please don't slide "We missed you!" notes from the postman under the door when I bring it to you. I don't know how many of those you have, but I do know that we did something severely wrong. I understand that you're upset and that this isn't so easy to forgive, but let me at least try to apologize. I brought the ham sandwich last month. Have you received it? This is the only way I know to apologize for what I've done, and I can't stop feeling guilty about it until you accept my apology. I'm not asking for you to forgive me, for that would be expecting too much. I just want you to let me apologize to you. Do you no longer like ham? I talked to the others about it. If the reason you won't accept my apology is that of them, I'm not sure I can do anything about that. I'm sorry, but I can't force them to apologize with me. I'm so sorry to say that I'm not sure they feel at all guilty about what happened. Should I bring more ham? Should I give up on getting a response from you or them? Please let me know what I should do about this. If you don't want me to apologize, I can stop. If you want me to apologize in a different way, I can do that too. I really need a response. If you don't reply to this email, I'll bring you one last ham sandwich on Sunday. Please respond. ---------------------------- How should I reply?

I just broke up with me ex and he was so rude about it. I get it that i took the decision a bit suddeny But he was taking me for granted and was lying about his drug use. However i was a rebound as well and he claimed that he was so in love with me. But when i told him that i could not see pur relationship leading anywhere because of the roads he's taking and his future is not secure. I was such an understanding person and accepted him fora dark past he had and he still took me for granted. Does he feel guilty after getting over the break up that he acted badly with me?its been a month and he was rude af called me crazy and immature and i was still sooo nice to him and i was a dumb to do that.

So i was about to break up with my boyfriend & so sent him a message that i wanted to talk about something. I told him that i wanted to video call him because i could not discuss this through text.He asked me if it was serious & i told him i love you but i will definitely hurt you.when we video called he asked me after 5 mins what i was talking about. But before video calling him i thought about telling him being just frnds but later on decided not to tell him as maybe it was too early since we dated for only 1 mth. While video calling him ,told him that i was about to take a decision & then realised that it would be a mistake & to leave it alone. I know that he knew that i would have broken up with him but still he told me to say it. I told me that i would have told you that i wanted to be just friends but it was a bad decision. I get it though sometimes its normal to feel that you wanna break up i guess its quite normal in a relationship but he responded "okay then alright". At this moment i did not know what to say & he was being cold about everything &then realised that we actually just broke up.i actually told him what i was about to say but he ended up actually taking it seriously & we broke up.our conversation was quite like a break up conversation.he did send me a message at 2 am it was a quote about how he will miss me. & said gd bye. We ended up on bad terms due to his bad behaviors he called me crazy and immature for breaking up. So what is your point of view ?

I have been staying with a roommate for 6months. Finally I found a new room and moving out soon. but I haven't cleared about that to my roommate. Actually, I don't want to open to talk with the person. because I don't trust him and he is scheming emotional abuser. Well, our friendship was over 10years. but I will just text him when I m leaving suddenly. He treated me so bad and poor

My last name is Buttigieg pronounced "Boot edge edge". And everyone makes fun of it because of the butt part even though that's not how you pronounce it, they do it all day and call me "butt". I just met these friends and they are really cool people and they are popular but I don't like this. Should I tell them that I don't like it or should I say nothing since they are cool?

A guy and I liked each other in high school but he admitted later that he was too shy to talk to me. After we'd graduated high school (and both moved to different towns), we finally properly began talking online after he reached out. We talked occasionally as friends, nothing serious or flirty as I had a boyfriend and he knew, though he said that we should keep talking. He told me that he'd dropped out of university at one point. We hadn't spoken in awhile. After I posted online about my boyfriend getting into a top university in the world, he blocked me on Facebook out of the blue (unless this timing is coincidental). He usually liked my posts before that. Why do you think he blocked me? Do you think there's a romantic reason or just because the post was too insensitive when he'd dropped out of uni?

I have these two best friends; they were best friends for a bit before I came into their group. I always have this fear that they don't like me, or they're mad at me even if I did nothing. Sometimes we'll hang out, or talk. But I am normally the one texting them, and I know they hang out without me. And the annoying thing is they LIE about it. On the snapchat app, the map tells where my one friend is and shes always at my other friends house. Even though the other friend doesn't have snapchat, theyre probably at each others house all the time. If I was really their friend, wouldn't they invite me? They say were close, but we had our first fight a few days ago (which was resolved) but my one friends answers don't add up. Im close with both of them, but theyre closer with each other and I don't know what to do. Help?

I had a girlfriend in high school that I loved very much but we broke up like a year after we finished high school and it's been about 20 years since we last talked. We are now both nearly 40 and she added me on facebook, problem is I already have a wife. Should I accept her friend request or would that look bad? because my wife checks my facebook.

So my best friend said to me before his brothers best friend picking me up not to be myself and stuff untill it's just me and him? He said "because you scare people" I said what the **** are you talking about? He said " I'll explain when I see you" what does he mean? We're best buds and are close but his bro and his bros best fiend have a prob with me ?

My friend has a really awful personality. All he does is talk about freaking air conditioning (that s not an exaggeration, it s all he knows) and he s super full of himself. For some reason I m still his friend and I accidentally said he should hang out with my socially good friends while drunk and he accepted. My friends are really against it unless I find somewhere where he won t make everything weird. Any ideas?

I'm a 20 years old girl and I just moved to another state a few months ago. All of my friends from where I used to live live too far away from me now, so i'm trying to make new friends where I currently live. The thing is, i'm unable to make any friends! I do school online, so I can't make friends at school. I have a job, but all of my coworkers are middle aged adults, not close to my age at all, so I can't make friends at work either. There are no meetup groups with people my age in them near where I live, and my parents won't let me start a meetup group. I've been using the app Bumble BFF and have several matches on that app, but they never reply to me when I message them, so I can't become friends with my matches on Bumble BFF. How am I supposed to make friends? My next door neighbors have a daughter who's my age, but she's away at college and I don't know when she's coming home on break. I also don't know how to approach her when she's home on break. Do I just ring my neighbor's doorbell, ask them if their daughter is home, and if she is, say hi and introduce myself? Also, when I finally make a friend, how can I convince them to introduce me to THEIR friends so I can expand my social circle even more? Please help me! I always just sit at home bored on the weekends because I have nobody to hang out with or do anything with! I'm an only child, so I can't become friends with my siblings' friends or anything like that. How do I make friends?

hey I have this friend who I puts me on a pedestal a lot, and is constantly talking about how proud they are of me and how amazing I am. and normally that would be pretty awesome, but whenever I try to return the compliments they brush it off or deny it. I know that they have bad self-esteem issues but I also feel like we aren't equals in this friendship and idk what to do. I tried mentioning it before but I think it just makes her feel guilty when I do so, does anyone have any tips?

All the pain and worries in life seem to go away. ... There is something beautiful about getting drunk. Especially when you are dancing to music when you're drunk. Why? Why are we so happy when we are drunk?

Hi. I have noticed a trend with myself recently. In general I do not have opinions. I am almost always neutral even if my friends are talking about where to eat or when to go to the gym, etc. I have no issue going to events by myself. Eventually with my friends they stop inviting me places because I won't choose sides in drama (had a good friend confess this to me) or do things behind my back because they think I won't care. For example, I'm looking for roommates next year and a current roommate invited people to live with us and I have never met them. I feel it's pretty normal to want to meet someone before living with them. When i brought it up her reply was I didn't think you would care. She asked the other current roommate though. Stuff like this happens a lot. Once I have an opinion it seems everyone ignores it or just expects that I won't have one. They also keep saying I'm too nice. Any advice?

I have this friend named Kimberly who I have been friends with for 5 years now since we were in 6th grade, for about a month now I have been cyber bullying her on an anonymous Instagram account. I call her ugly, fat, stupid and I even tell her to kill herself. I am not happy about this, I did it for fun and I did laugh but recently she found out it was me because I sit next to her friend Alexia in class and Alexia saw me texting Kimberly on Instagram and she took my phone and said "are you talking to Kimberly? let me say hi to her". and Alexia saw the text messages that I send to Kimberly and at lunch time she went and told Kimberly that it's me, that i'm the one who sends those messages which is true. Now she won't even talk to me, she hates me and I am all alone at school now. What should I do? I hate this.

I was telling my friends and my cousin that I was having issue with my father. I asking if I can live with them . They said no. I been knowing my friends for long time. It sucks that people doesn't want help. When you have problemd

So, I recently was over at a friends house. Their mom is a light smoker who uses a Juul instead of Cigarettes. My friend is her child ((16 years old)). And is a Self-Proclaimed non-smoker. And their mother is Adamant that her child will not smoke under her roof because she doesn't want them to learn bad habits. To prove a point on how Not-cool or not fun smoking was, she let my friend try a puff from her Juul. Expecting them to fall out coughing and gagging, I was stunned when my friend took a deep inhale and then blew all of the vapor out through their nose, and didn't even flinch. This was alarming to me as I didn't think a Non-smoker/Vaper could do that without practically dying. Is that true or is that Rumor just a Statement??

So basically we are going on a field trip for school. I'm a sophomore, and we have to room with 3 other people. We sent a list with 4 people we would be interested in rooming with. Unfortunately, I did not plan in advance and everyone was already grouped up with who to room with, even my best friend! My best friend was roomed with 3 other guys who were close friends. I told my best friend to please take someone out of his group and put me on his list. Now I'm going to most likely room with him and I'm really worried that the person who my friend took out is going to be really angry. Please tell me what I should do. The guy he took out is really good friends with everyone else in the room so he's going to be pissed.
