What can I do about my friend? My friend said "Everyone cant like you" to me, but when we were talking about starting new schools she said "Of course everyones going to like ME". This friend has been very shitty for a Long time, and always try to overshadow me, and makes me feel like **** pretty often, but if I drop her I dont really have Any best friends except for my ex step sister Who lives across the country, and I just, I dont know what to do. Whenever People speak to me instead of her she refuses to join in when I invite her and talks **** about what we were talking about or doing. I know she has talked about me behind her back, and isnt really a good friend because she ignore me for a Long time, makes me feel insecure and says bad things to me even though I tell her to stop, but still everyone seems to be friends with her. After we almost havent talked in two weeks she can suddenly be like "Oooh my best friend, youre awesome" and it really shakes my confidence that she can act one way towards me and then suddenly change. This has made me talk less to People, which makes her talk more to People and I feel friend less. This is just a 3am rant, sorry for People Who have to read all of this, but I just dont know what to do. Im just confused to why she can act like this to me, but People still like her, and right now everyone seems to like her better. :/

This may be difficult to follow: A shy, quiet & maybe even a bit close-minded child, Sasha, is enrolled in Kindergarten at a particular elementary school. She had a school friend who was quite similar to her but too bad he transfers out of that school when 1st grade begins. She's played with other neighborhood kids. Sasha has a cousin, John; he's a few years younger than her but is the first born. John has a cousin, Paula, from his other parent's side of the family who's the same age/grade as Sasha. Paula happens to be someone who's easily excited, loud, outgoing, & maybe even touchy-feely while being expressive. In fact, Sasha has seen Paula's teacher talk to her in private about her disruptive behavior. One day during recess, Sasha gets behind a group of a few kids to see what's going on or to wait her turn for something. One of those kids suddenly turns around; it happens to be Paula. After they spot each other, it startles Sasha. Paula tries to convince Sasha to play with her. Unfortunately, Sasha refuses. So, Paula's feelings are hurt. She complains to her mom. Then, Paula's mom spreads it to John's mom. And then, John's mom informs Sasha's mom. Sasha's mom is embarrassed. 6 years later, Sasha's mom suddenly brings up how she *wouldn't play with Paula in 1st grade* & gives more detail. Sasha's mom admits that Paula *may have been a bit outgoing* but then asserts, "If only you'd play with her, you guys would've been best of friends!" So, 13-year-old Sasha feels guilty. After thinking about what her mom just told her, she makes the inference that Paula may have inadvertently made her feel uncomfortable when they were 7-years-old. But of course, Sasha stills feels ashamed. Does Sasha really deserve lambasting for rejecting Paula or was Sasha's feeling as a small child valid towards Paula?

I worked for 3+ years at a company in the States. I'm in my mid-20s and mostly hung out with coworkers my age. We added each other on social media and hung out at lunchtime. After seeing the same people for more than 900 days straight, you'd think we were close. I thought so, anyway. After I voluntarily left the company for family reasons (moving to Europe!), I reached out to a few of them who'd sent me their personal emails to stay in touch. Zero replied. INCLUDING my old boss, who had cried the day I left. Now she's fallen off the radar and doesn't even acknowledge me. What's weirder, I noticed two coworkers completely deleted me from their social media profiles. One even went so far as to block me out of the blue. I hadn't spoken to that person since I'd left the company, so I have no idea what caused this. I am a shy person by nature, and I always try to be nice to people for fear of rocking the boat. I'd genuinely thought these people were my friends. I feel sort of sliced open right now. I'd included a bunch of them on my farewell company email, and had put a lot of thought into it, and this is what I get. Lol. Maybe someone more experienced can shed advice and commiserate?

we've been best friends for 2 years. we've gone through similar things because of similar people and it has really helped us connect, we've grown together. but lately things have just been different, and i dont know what caused it but when she goes on a long passionate rant about art and language, i just have bubbly feelings in my stomach and im just intrigued and i just think shes the most beautiful. when i rub her head because shes sick and has a headache, i want to kiss her. i think im in love with this girl, and this all sounds great, but its not and i will tell you why. my best friend and i both have bad mental health issues: ptsd, depression, anxiety, ect. and i dont know if we could handle each other. sometimes we're each others only friends. sometimes she is the only person on my side and vice versa. if i tell her about my feelings and she doesnt feel the same, what happens to our friendship? if we end up dating, its still not the same.

I'm unable to grasps the words on how to frame a coherent paragraph to express how I feel. I believe I have abusive actions, or maybe it's the way I think and i'm unable to scrub away the mindset I behold. Whether I have a friendship or a relationship, I revolve my world around one person. I make them my number one. I'm a loyal friend who sticks up for them from the whole world, supporting them through every decision their heart allows them to hold. I'm a shoulder to cry on when needed and only a laughter away. I push away everyone else and in return I expect them to do the same. It's so selfish and I understand and when I realize that's how my actions are reflecting, I pull away and allow time to heal our broken friendship/ relationship. Nobody has really had actions that aligned with the words they have spoke and it continuously disappoints me. No, I'm not verbally abusive nor physically; but I feel that the way I feel towards things are abusive. I get offended that their actions do not reduplicate the actions I display. I don't know. I feel as if I'm a horrible person for feeling this way, and maybe it's all in my head.

I had sex with this guy once and now he says he wants pictures of me. I sent him a picture of me holding my breasts. And he replied with smiley faces.

Me and my best friend are super close and share some of the most random things. We are the sort to have really deep conversations really late at night and share everything. Should I tell her about my choice to start taking the pill? I know this should be an easy thing and I have no problem sharing it with her but I wouldn't know how to bring it up. I want no secrets but some things are very personal and some things can spark mini arguments. Should I tell her? She's also the sort to copy everything I do and Worried it would inspire her to be reckless due to past incidents. At the end of the day, it's her choice I just don't want to put ideas in her head. Should I tell her? I don't want her to find out and feel betrayed in a way because we are so close. Thanks x

so 2 girls in our friendship group lets call them chloe and liv they said to one of the other girls in the group lets call her zoe that i've said i dont like her but i didnt and she believed them straight away and zoe kept shouting at me infront of everyone (this was at breaktime)and she kept saying how im a liar and that my ex bestfriend said through out our friend all i did was lie which isnt true and at lunch i was walking with all of them and they were all giving eachother weird looks and kept trying to walk away from me and then zoe kept whispering to everyone and then zoe just said "why are you here?" and i said "i havent done anything wrong" and she kept saying how chloe and liv arent liars and they're truthful and saying that i sound dumb and she said "one of us has to leave and it isnt going to be me" chloe kept saying she hates me and none of the other girls in the group who i thought genuinely would be there for me they were laughing and i felt so worthless and then zoe said she doesnt want to be my friend anymore and im honestly crying writing this im so lonely yeah i have other friend i dont even know if i should call them that because i only speak to them in lessons and never at lunch or break i dont know who to go to everyone already has a friendship group and they'd find it weird for me to randomly start hanging around with them

It is alleged that is was 26 did you hear this?

My 17 year old son is a social recluse. If given the choice, he would stay in his room 24/7 and only leave it to eat food and use the bathroom. He wouldn't use social media at all, he wouldn't make plans with his "friends" to hang out, he wouldn't reply to any texts, he would quite literally sleep, listen to music, and play or "make" games on his electronics the entire time and never leave his room. He would even sabotage any efforts to "hook him up" with people to be friends with because his time his electronics is way more important than his time with humans. Okay now enter a girl exactly one month younger than him who's the exact same way. The only difference is she lives on a small farm and has some expectations put on her to be social in marching band, but besides the group play she isn't expected to do much. When he and her hang out they are just loafing around and they don't say/do much. It's kind of like watching the zombie apocalypse really, they just kind of walk around very uncaring of anything until they can get back on their electronics (she's more into her phone than he is though). What do you think? Could this be a match since they both have the same energy? Or is a hyper extroverted girl more my son's type? Or do I need to put him him therapy because boys aren't allowed to act this way? I want my son to have a future, but at this rate he's going no where. Straight e's in school and no effort to get a job, my thoughts are he needs someone as awkward as him I guess no one cares or they don't think it will work?

When I am talking to someone with whom I'm comfortable, I have no problem. But when I'm talking to someone who makes me nervous (whose opinion I respect), I have a self-doubt conversation with myself in my head simultaneously to the conversation I'm having with that person out loud. This then causes me to not fully hear what the person says (or how they say it) and then I end up making the conversion awkward. How do I shut that voice up? P.S. I don't have that voice when I'm drunk, but that isn't a permanent solution.

My instagram is private and I haven't accepted them yet but there is quite a few of them that want to follow me. I've been working with them for a few years now and now they are just adding me on social media. This one guy from my job is telling people in his life about me and they are adding me on social media and don't know who they are. I have gotten really close with all of them and it's like a love hate friendship and we joke around a lot. This one manager left last week and now some of them are acting nicer. How come they want to add me on instagram?

I'm a 21 year old guy. I often get "friend zoned". Like I'm a little puppy dog. Truthfully, I think I'm awesome. I work 40 hrs a week, and I just got a really badass muscle car all by myself. I got gas in the tank and money in the bank. I enjoy snow boarding and guitar in my free time. What is "friendly" or "puppy dog" here? I think I'm the ****! The complete package. Yeah, I'm "sweet" and I "care" but shouldn't that be good? Thoughts? Friends are good, but I want a girlfriend! With romantic interest in me.

If you are still friends, how long have you been friends out of high school? If you are no longer friends, how long did the friendship last out of high school?

I seriously do, I used to think that I wanted to hang out with someone more often but now I been meeting people new ones are coming into my life but when someone wants to do something with me I make an excuse or find one I will actually end up with a headache sometimes. I know the reason I do it's because I don't really trust anyone anymore, people has stole my things, I see fake stuff about them, I will find something most of the time a lot I don't like about them. It sucks because I know being with people could get me out more I'd like to but trust issues and fakes these days. I've had people pretending to be my friend when they weren't. Anyone else have the same problem?

just wondering if there are any ladies that have been able to remain friends after being friendzoned by a man? if so, how did you deal with hearing about their dating life? did you feel rejected that they never wanted to date you? will give a best answer

I sent this guy a sexy picture of me covering my breasts and replied with smiley faces.

I dont have many friends in school. I get bullied and made fun of. There is one friend i have. I did have a conversation with him today. He told me that i must know the real reason I don't have friend and why people make fun of me. He said that I'm a weird person. The way i walk, talk, and act is weird and that's why i get bullied. He said that i musnt be aware of it and he wants to make me aware of it. He said that i also don't look good and that's also reason for being judged.

Everyone's first reaction when you say something to them that they don't like is to fight. It's annoying. Why can't people talk out things without getting violent?

People were either late or cancelled on my bday so I was already disappointed, this friend as mentioned above was going to be late working but she will TRY to come which is fine, her and her ex broke up a few weeks ago but he is also my boyfriends bestfriend and I also consider him a friend so I wasn't going to exclude him from my party. He knew she might be coming he was ok with it. I get a call from her saying she's working later than usual another friend let's her know beforehand that her ex will be there..fast forward a few more hours she calls again finished work, all angry that he ex is there "he should be there you're MY friend not HIS" saying it's unfair etc (keep in mind me and her barely talk and not that close) I'm already drunk so I start crying all stressed. She shows up & her ex tries to talk so they can be civil for my sake and the others at the party. They fight she's crying because I don't want to talk until I'm calmed down (I didn't wanna day something I'd regret while upset) her ex is drunk also (she's sober) he's vomiting and crying everyone's upset. The others aren't helping or just making it worse, my boyfriend takes the ex away and brings him home. My bestfriend is crying over her dads recent death because my other friends ex (who's vomiting) brought up his death so I'm helping her. They all leave and I'm just home alone after the drama exhausted. The next day they all apologized and I said it was all ok for the sake of their emotions

I sent this guy a sexy picture of me covering my breasts and replied with smiley faces.

whether it was give a weird judge look, vocally disprove, or avoid you. what was it about? last time i brought up my workout goals to get healthy and comfortable in my skin i got ALL 3 and it felt awful but then i realized that person doesn't care about themselves like that anyway

I'm a 21 year old guy. So, I have a girl friend. I actually had a crush on her but she didn't have the same feelings so it never became a relationship. Plus she has a boyfriend. Anyway, can I ask her to set me up with one of her friends? A lot of her friends are pretty too. I just don't want to offend her. How can I angle this? She likes me as a person, and as a good gentlemen, so maybe she would be open to this? Look, I got gas in the tank and money in the bank. All I'm missing is a girlfriend to cruise around town with and love me. I just wonder if she would help me. I work 40 hrs a week and don't get out much, truthfully.

My BFF of 16 years is not tolerating my husband's political views. They don't have any political discussions but yet she is very aggressive about it. Because of that I was disinvited from my own birthday that she was organizing for me on the beach. My hubby is tolerant of any political views and you can have conversation about anything with him. He was always respectful etc. Also my other friend told me that when she got drunk, she got very angry said that she will "f*ck him up" for his views when she sees him next time. I don't think she remembers what she said because she blacked out, I wasn't present in the situation. I don't think she knows that I know nor she remembers what she said. I saw her few days before that and she was acting nice and normal like we still are seeing each other on the beach for my bday. There was also other situation a month ago where we have been planning a group trip for 5 moths. She was ok 3 hours before she arrived, then all the sudden she pretended she doesn't know us, because my husband wore a trump hat. She was sleeping at the camp site next to us, didn't say "hi", didn't stop by, she wrote me some angry texts at night when she got drunk again. A week later, we had "the talk" to clarify (initiated by me, not her!) and it seemed to me that we were cool until my bday surprise. I hate to give up on my BFF but I don't know how to reason with her anymore (she's 38).

First post and it's going to be a rant 🤦‍♀️ I've never had reliable friends ever but that's another post. Anyways most recently I had a 4th of July bash. One of my best friends and her family all rsvpd first and acted super excited about coming. Told me multiple times face to face. A week or two go by and the hubby is supposedly getting nervous about lighting fireworks In my neighborhood. I assure them both no reason to be worried my neighbors go off for the fourth and things are lit into the sky all night long with no issues. I'm assured they're still coming and excited. Fast forward 2 days before the party and I call to see what they're bringing (pot luck). I get back this whole spiel about he's thinking of going somewhere else but it's not set I'm stone bla bla bla. But they still might come. Fourth comes and they are no shows. Not only that but they told other guests at the party that they were coming so now the other guests are asking wtf. So naturally I'm hurt and pissed that not only did they lead me on only to blow me off, there's other people who were expecting them too (some of those were young children). I decide not to talk to them for a few days so I can not speak to them out of anger. Now they've strait blocked me!!! So I'm the bad guy because they didn't stick to plans smh 🤦‍♀️ Clearly I need new friends Ps-I've known these people for 20 damn years!!!

People at my job always having parties or go to bars but never invite me. People at my school talk to each other and do groups but im usually picked last or I work alone....am i a failure for being unliked? Idk why ppl hate me

I have this friend that I just started hanging out with again and she told me today that she is like well you've done stuff that hasn't been resolved in the past. Well basically I left with mine and her guy friends for about 5 months because all she was doing was being toxic and wallowing in her own sadness after her dad past and I understand that he passed but she uses her mental issues as a way to get attention sometimes when she can be a bully without realizing it. Like she hid my purse phone money you name it she's hidden it already from me. I've gotten to the point where I've tried to stop being her friend because I couldn't take it. At one pint I just went there to just be out but every time I would she's nit pick in my business that was in the past. Like it's in the past right? I blocked her already on calls and snap then I started coming around again because I've changed and want to move past everything because honestly there's to much stress and she can be petty if you don't take her side and when I tell her to stop she continues like I don't even understand. Sometimes I feel like she is too toxic

I liked the same woman for 8 months. She went from telling me that she "liked" me" and "liked" talking to me to "What do you want to talk about?" and "I don't like how you're following me." One time when I tried to talk to her, she told me, "I want to get out of here" and left me in the room I was talking to her in. She "loved" the birthday presents I got her and read the card I wrote inside in and likely threw away the presents I got her. She ignored most of my text messages. She kept scheduling me without asking me and kept doing it until she moved to another department 2 months ago (she was one of my direct supervisors from last July to early May of this year). She NEVER told her older sister who I still work with, that I liked her at all and told her that I've been ignoring her for no reason. One guy in my department tried to physically attack me when I didn't even provoke him and she witnessed the whole incident and NEVER bothered to suspend him. She ended up taking a break with him and a few other employees a few days after that happened. I asked her out twice and the last time was to see a movie and she told me to see the movie I wanted to see with her by myself. Despite moving to another department 2 months ago, she STILL says, "Hi," to me even though I've been ignoring her since this past February. She has no idea how angry and depressed she's made me yet she acts like nothing is wrong when clearly I'm not interested in being nice to her period. She says, "Hi," to me at times BUT she doesn't actually care to talk to me.
