I'm a guy. Been best friends with the same girl since childhood (Our parents were old friends) I'll call her K. We've always been close/trusted each other and K looks out for me, sometimes more than I'd like. She's super loyal, but sometimes she speaks for me or makes decisions on my behalf, thinking she knows what's best for me. She usually does, but she can be kind of stern when she believes she's right. We're basically inseparable. My parents actually think we'll wind up married someday, I've overheard them. A lot of people mistake us for a couple when they first meet us, and I've noticed that K never corrects them. She also tends to be judgmental of other girls I talk to, disliking them for one reason or another. In general, we don't have a lot of boundaries.Sharing a bed when we stay overnight, making each other lunches. She doesn't mind changing in the same room as me. I didn't think much of it until one morning I woke up while she was in the shower - and hadn't bothered to close the door. So I guess she doesn't mind if I see her naked? But it's not like she's that free with her body. She tends to dress modestly at school - never even wears tank tops except around me. Did we just like...become a couple without me noticing? We were already planning on rooming together in college, once we graduate. I wouldn't put it past K to just decide that we're better off together, and start living life as my girlfriend without any input from me. I don't know what to think?

I have not felt this way in a while. Feeling alone started in seventh grade when I was bullied, then carried over to high school (where I had friends, but always felt like the last option or an outlier). I switched schools my junior year, however, which was one of the best decisions for my mental health. I found friends I instantly clicked with and a boyfriend who I confided in and shared practically every detail of my life with. Then he went to college. And then we broke up. Honestly, I'm not really sure how to handle this post break up stage. I know I shouldn't have used him as my life boat, but he really was the glue holding me together, and keeping me from falling apart. I realize that now that he is gone. It hurts a lot, not just because he didn't want long distance and I feel like I'm losing my best friend, but also because I feel like I have no one to talk to. My mom said, "oh god" when I said "it's time to vent" today because she thought I was talking about venting to her about my problems and she didn't want to listen. (I was really talking about my vent paper for English). The point is people don't want to hear my issues. They might listen just to be polite, but even my best friend is probably tired of hearing about it. I just feel so alone in this and this is my first break up. I don't know what to do

She is always early and will purposefully leave kids behind and write people up for not being out five to ten minutes early. She has strict rules and will scream, yell, and write people up over little things that our regular bus driver lets us do. She even cussed sometimes. All my friend was doing was flipping his Gatorade and when she yelled about it we got it out of the isle. But that was not enough no flipping it on the seat earthier. So she made him give it to her and she threw it away. She will not change the radio. She pulls over and screams at us. She has also called her supervisor on. If my parents complain all they say is we will talk to the driver and then she is sometimes back on the next day doing the same things. She is really, really, really mean. We have had mean drivers before but she is the meanest of them all. She even blasts the music in our ears if we are too loud.

In my short lunch break between classes I had a bowl of soup before I had to rush to my next class. I rinsed the bowl spoon and sink and left the bowl in the sink. I had a long evening and was very busy with work and homework coming in around 1 AM and my roommate says "I will literally cry if you don't wash that bowl right now" and I explained to her I had a long day and I am going to sleep but I'll get to it tomorrow. The next day I get done with class around noon and plan to take care of it then and as soon as I walk in the door she immediately says to me thank goodness you're back you need to wash your dishes now. Like first of all I didn't even get a second to breath, it's not like there's gross old food on it I literally had rinsed it off. This is our first week living together and I've cleaned up after myself so it's not like this was the breaking point for me being the biggest slob in the world because I'm not. But she's such a neat freak that I feel like I am walking on eggshells in my own home. I have never been a perfectly clean person but knowing how she is I have been trying SO hard to be as neat as possible but it's still not good enough for her. I just don't know what to do. I hate that I feel like I can't live in my own place without getting yelled at. Am I overreacting?? And this is just one example. I just can't live up to her standards without making myself miserable.

My friend that I met online just doesn't seem to care about me. It's not that simple though. Whenever I say something about myself to him, he always replies something like, "Nice," or, "Cool." You know, like he doesn't care. I always ask questions about him, but he never asks questions about me. It's like a one-sided friendship, except that he's usually the one to text me first. H's said that he likes spending time with me and that we are friends. I'm unsure of what he wants. Please help.

I work with a girl who can't let a day go by without mentioning how smart her 9 year old daughter is and how intuitive she is and how she's a straight A student, yadda, yadda, yadda! It has gotten to the point to where it's gotten very old. Again, she's only 9 and this woman makes her child out to be so philosophical. I mentioned that as she gets older she'll venture out and find her own self and make new friends and this woman said, "no she won't, she loves her momma and will always be by my side." Today she comes in and mentions how her birthday is in less than a month and what kind of party she was thinking of throwing for her and how she wouldn't want a house party with her friends but wants to go somewhere like an amusement park and how she'll probably have to drop at least $400 or $500 for them. Or maybe how she'd probably do a carnival themed party for her since she does party planning and already has the equipment at home. Again, yadda, yadda, yadda. What do you think of parents to place their kids on pedestals and refuse to believe that they will ever leave them or that they do no wrong? Some days I hate to even say good morning to her for fear she'll immediately start talking about her daughter. For 2 weeks now she's been saying how she's going to take a 2 hour lunch to go to her open house at school and then taking tomorrow off so she can spend the entire day with her shopping and things for school.

I'm starting my senior year of high school. Never had too many close friends up until about 1-2 years ago. All those friends have left either because they ended up having a problem with me or we just fell out of touch. I'm terrible at staying in touch with people because I never know what to say. Right now, I feel I would like to have a relationship in theory, but when it comes down to actually talking to people I just don't want to. Is it bad that everything in me just wants to avoid a close friendship right now?

i wanted to meet my friends during their lunch period, but dont know if i have to meet them off campus. i used to go there, (im homeschooled now) so i cant just blend in because people will recognize me.

He is a guy in my school ( a year ahead of me) and we met previously at a party and we chatted for a bit. Now whenever he sees me at school he always says hi and he tried to talk to me once about school. Yesterday, I was at the library reading and when I looked up I noticed he was looking at me, so he waved and smiled. Is he trying to be friend or is he interested?

I have a friend on facebook. Her birthday was yesterday. A couple days before she made a status that said "I wonder how many people are gonna wish me happy birthday lol" last night she said "so far I've only gotten 12 birthday wishes. I wonder if everyone is waiting until midnight to blow up my phone lol"

Now you have to think of yourself like this, there is only one you and that or those other person or other people are not you. So technically speaking you own everything if you want to claim everything as yours because your the only one alive but it is just you are more than likely not going to have the power to use everything forever with your hands because the other people won't listen to you and follow your rules. Basically if you did this then you screwed yourself down if you want those other people to follow your rules and they don't follow your rules which means your not in control over them which in my opinion is bad because you can get hurt really badly. Now listen, everything we do could be illegal because cops can screw you down for the wrong reason in your opinion because you believed you was doing the right thing. You can't even rely off dictionaries to understand words you don't know because dictionaries are reference books and dictionaries give you the right to say what the dictionary says or dictionaries don't give you the right to say what the dictionary says. The words 'or' and 'synonym' are very evil words to us because the police can use the words 'or' and 'synonym' against you to screw you down for no reason. Cops didn't want me but cops wanted me and gave me a fleeing charge for just hoping over the muddy ditch from the public road to get to my property that was just over the muddy ditch I was hopping over, I didn't know a cop was headed my way either.

Most of my friends, family, and classmates expect me to help them no matter what. I have been spending hours a day helping one of my friends with homework and hardly getting any sleep because I'm up past 4 am helping her and get up at 5:30. I have my own work to do and can't do it all when everyone needs my constant help. I've had hardly any time to myself and know have to learn almost a year's worth of physics in 2 days. I want to tell people that I'm busy and have to do my work but then they'll get mad at me and I won't have any friends (I know they're not real friends if they just take advantage of me but it's better than being alone). How can I focus on myself without making everyone hate me?

I moved out of state to a new highschool and on my first day I couldn't stop crying about it. This is my last year and I sit alone at lunch and have no friends.The problem is that my mom moved here because she thought it is better for our family but I just wanna go back.I could stay with a relative but I feel really guilty leaving but it's hurts staying

there's never any girl's at these parties. it's like 20 guys show up and maybe just one girl. and she won't talk to the guys 'cause she's with her boyfriend and only stays with him. it just sux.

I noticed this because when I look at someone like hey come on here your getting on my nerves. They act like, "I'm not doing anything so leave me alone." And I've tested it and said "you're getting on my nerves." When I thought they weren't doing anything and they were like, "Oh sorry I'll stop." I'm making all these quotations personifications of the peoples thoughts.

I wanted to take this girl out on a date it's like a zoo but much smaller and you actually get to pet wild animals and feed them and learn about them. I love animals so i would love this but not sure about her all i know is that she loves dogs. Also is this even okay for a first date? I dont want movie because can't really talk but i also dont want dinner date to force conversation. Just something we can talk about the event.

I left home at age 17 due to my mother's deteriorating mental health (ie smashing my trophies with a bat over a missing candy bar, showing my 6 year old sister a porn magazine she'd found hidden in my things) Being so young on my own, there were plenty of times I needed help--learning to drive, moving from one place to another, need a ride somewhere important, etc. I constantly pestered our family pastor who astonishingly never refused me and always helped in any way he could. Fast forward 10 years, I was thinking about how he helped me during the toughest time in my life, and decided to look him up. I found a blog of his, and since there was no way to write him directly, I left a comment genuinely thanking him for putting up with me, letting him know how much it still meant, and offering him compensation for everything--leaving my number so he can call for the arrangement. Strangely enough, he deleted the comment, did not call, and made no mention of the comment in his following postings. I'm really confused and can't stop thinking about it. Could he have been somehow offended? Should I try writing again? It's really bothering me...I mean, I'm actually offering to pay him back for everything!
