Im a dude and i became friends with this girl from work.  we both worked across the hall from eachother,  But we would talk all the time.  i had feelings for her but she was married. She would stare at me like crazy and would always laugh and smile at me.   we never talked innapropriate to eachother, She told one of my close friends that she was  falling for me and that she cared about me, But she begged my friend to never tell me. She would always talk highly about me, and i made her blush  later on some coworkers began talking bad about me and her, they kept reporting us to management saying that we're always flirting, and other people began making rumours. so later my manager told me to stop talking to my friend, so the drama could stop.  she would still talk to me behind everyone's back because she missed my presence, But eventually I noticed she had become really weird with me, and was giving me the cold shoulder. she was still staring at me like crazy but, but would look down one day for her birthday I gave her a gift card, but  later she gave the manager the gift card and told him that my presence was affecting her. my manager moved me from the floor far away from her,  One week later she left work and took an entire year off, and she blocked me completely off Facebook. She came back to work early February after 1 year of being gone. She looks down everytime she sees me, and she avoids areas i go too.  Why did she push me away this way?  She knew i respected her

If friends or best friends unintentionally hurt you, do you let them know or just ignore it and suck it up as nothing happened. If I confront them it is possible I might lose their friendship. Any help on this would be much appreciated. (No experiences with social skill due to being a loner for the majority of my life.)

My friend has been instantly asking me for Acces to my account that streams reality tv. I agreed flippantly as she said she would only need it after finishing the 7 seasons of the show she was watching so I assumed she would forget. But these 7 seasons have dwindled down to what is now two 1 hour long episodes and she did not forget as I had first thought. I have always payed for this out of my own money and she has made no offer to pay half or even less than that of it. It sounds selfish but I don't want to be taken for granted and home to become her money source. Any suggestions on how to refer her or convince me to agree!

I'm a 28 year old female and I made another friend last month at the place I volunteer and me and her really hit it off and we have texted quite a bit and talked on the phone some but then it got to where she told me that she's not really talkative so I haven't been texting her much at all. Should I be hurt by this? Would you be hurt if this happened to you? Because it does hurt some. She does still text me first and I text her first some too but we don't really have conversations anymore 

I recently began receiving multiple unknown calls. It's been about two weeks now. This individual also texts the same exact thing from different numbers . When I've searched the numbers there's no information about them. At first I thought it was a prank but now it's getting annoying because apparently I have them on Instagram and Snapchat and they keep sending me screenshots of my own pictures. They keep saying they're going to add all my friends to tell them bad things about me , which I'm not worried about at all because I'm pretty innocent lol. Anyway should I just report this to the cops ? They're getting sooo annoying and it's getting kind of scary because one of their texts said something like " just wait and see what's going to happen soon." Also I've had the same number and social media accounts for over 8 years so at this point it can be anyone trying to be annoying lol. I've blocked the other numbers they've messaged me from but they just end up messaging me from other ones .

I haven't wore Deodorant since March! 

I've been talking to this guy, and I told him about how my dad left my mom and I when I was very young, and how he's trying to make amends with me now. Anyway, there's this instagram challenge where you post a song that relates to a caption. Today's caption was "a song that makes you think about life" and he posted a song about a dad who abandoned his son and tries to make amends with him later in life. Maybe I'm thinking too much into it, but I just find that ironic given the fact that I just talked to him about my dad yesterday.

I don't know what's wrong with me. I seem to overthink everything, and create bad scenarios in my head before they even happen. I constantly tell myself that my friends and family hate me. My best friend could tell me that she misses me so much and can't wait to see me yet I'll tell myself shes lying and secretly hates me? I've only really noticed how bad it is recently since I've been telling my mum most days that I have no friends and she's been so confused knowing I have some really solid friendships. I can't get out of this headspace even though I talk to my friends every day and nothing is untoward. I think it might a defence mechanism - if I expect the worst of people then they can't hurt me. But it's awful having this fight with myself everyday. Could it be a form of anxiety? I just wish I could believe it when people express their love for me.

Covid has delayed me joining an overseas research reach by a year, and has put me in a situation where I will be moving across country without ever even seeing the place I am moving too.  My life is chaos but I try to not mention it.  My friends are snippy with me if I bring it up, saying at least I got the opportunities in the first place.  But my friends complain constantly about the parties concerts etc.  they are missing.  I try to be sympathetic but I find it difficult seeing how cold they have been to me.   

I recently became friends with this girl from one of my music classes last semester (we're both music majors). One day, she told me that she was jealous of me because I was always able to get good grades in our piano class without practicing. Yes, I was *sometimes* able to get away with not practicing and still get good grades, however, music is my gift and I chose to major in it. Whereas, she told me that her parents made her major in music. Since our classes are now online, our piano professor hasn't really been keeping in touch with us. So we had a playing test due and I wasn't able to see the due date, so I asked the girl when was it due, and she told me the wrong date, but submitted hers on the right date. I've had issues with envious people in the past, and I don't know if I should be cautious of this girl or not?

We have been friends in high school so for us it is a rather long friendship. However, she has only started this behavior the past couple of years. She's always posting herself in happy go lucky type pictures with other friends, claiming how much she loves them, etc. and claims how they are more like siblings than friends. She has not once, in our entire friendship, done this with me. However, when I feel like I need to take a breather and ignore her for a while she will post angry or depressed selfies with hashtags like #notinagoodmood #thisisnotmyday #Iamsobetrayed etc. etc. I know that we have been friends for a while, but with each passing year I feel like I should not have to put up with her drama anymore. What do you think? At first I started to cut contact with her because I felt like she simply didn't care about our friendship so I started to move on. She doesn't text me for months and so I do the same. Then she posts pics related to our drama on social media. Have you dealt with a friend like this?

The most thing I ever regret is being one of those emo teenagers I was one of those super big losers in my high school days everyone hated me everyone loved to bully me like they would purposely pick on me because I did not stand up for myself. I was a sorry loser I was most of the time quiet in class because anything I say would make people hate me for some reason I really dont know why. The 2nd thing I regret is not taking any chances of dating because I did not know much about dating during that time I was just very emotional I remember this girl try so hard to get me but I did nothing I remember she even ask me out once but I said no. I did not think about these stuff at all during those times because it was just very stress full nothing but hate in high schools but now as im a adult I wish I can go back in time & do it all over again but in the right way. 

i told my friends i'm suicidal and they ignored it and kept talking like nothing happened. do they even care?

Or seen it with your own eyes in public or at all? A few years ago I did cocaine with an ex friend a couple of times and saw him do it. I once saw a young guy at a bus stop in San Francisco, possibly cocaine, at night in a bad area. Otherwise I've never seen anyone do it. I've never seen anyone inject but I may have some heroin needles.  I don't touch that stuff anymore though as it's bad and don't associate with said friend. I've snorted Adderall and an opiate before as well but not recommended. 

I used to lie from the age of 13 to 16. Now, I'm 19 and I don't lie anymore. We met when we were 16 and I lied to her about my age. Last night, I told her the truth. She kept being nice to me, but does it make her hate me now?

My mom and I never really had any problems with each other up until the last couple of years. She used to be my best friend and we would do close to everything together, but now I can't even have one conversation with her without ending up in an argument (where I always end up crying). I feel like she only talks about herself and is never concerned about my thoughts or aspirations. I am not the type of person who just likes the talk about myself unless someone asks and is genuinely interested. But she is the complete opposite and I just find her blabbing about herself all the time.  Every time we get into a fight she just ends up insulting my character and personality and says that I should look in the mirror and really fix my attitude. The fights always result in me crying and leaving the house. While she's threatening to cut off all forms of support she provides to me.  It not like I want to fight with her, but I just really can't see eye to eye with her about anything. I just feel like she is so full of herself and she can go enjoy her money all by herself because I don't even want it.  I don't know what to do, and it makes me really sad when I think about it. But I don't see how I can fix it if we can't even have a decent conversation and be happy.

so basically my best friend since 3rd grade had someone move into her house and i caught feelings for him and we ended up having sex and i have no clue how to tell her and literally feel so guilty i don't know what i should do. I feel so awful about everything and regret it more than anything. i cant live with it

it was mainly for my family and I didn't expect it to get that many views? my best friend is in it. she wants me to take it down.. but it's my channel, so is it bad if I just keep it up there and not tell her? but she'll find out. but I really want it to stay. it actually gained me about 150 subs tbh....

My friend and I swim on our high school team. We are both pretty fast, and we also do this club team. Throughout our first year of HS we were close. We swam together, hung out, and texted. We were basically the same speed (maybe I was slightly faster, but it doesn't matter). This year, she was definitely a lot faster. She started participating in club practices and races more. I occasionally did. She is especially good at butterfly and won pretty much all the races. I was happy for her, and happy that I was still doing well. However, she stopped talking to me. It was good to see her hanging out with other teammates, but she kind of ignored me. Whenever she beat me she hugged me and was super fake nice. (I am not jealous, it's just that this was pretty much all she said to me).....Also what is strange is that she would ask/text my brothers to see if I was going to compete at certain club races. Why didn't she ask me in person?  I actually noticed that towards the end of last season, she wasn't talking with me as much and things could get a little awkward silencey. I should have talked to her, but I just let it go. I don't like drama. She is competitive with school, swimming, even amongst her 3 siblings. so maybe it's just the way she is. She only texted me if I could do her favors. She never wanted to hang out with just me or warmup together. Yesterday she texts me, (after 1 month of nothing, all season of distantness), "what's up! miss swim with u" . WHAT SHOULD I SAY?  this happened during fall/winter.
