My best friend recently exploded on me for being too overwhelming for her. The weird thing is, we live in two different states so it's hard for me to understand how I am too much for her from that distance. We are 22 and 21. All our talking is over text, she refuses to FaceTime or talk over the phone. Even when we do text it can sometimes take her days and days to get back to me. I never know much about her life bc she doesn't share much with me— when I ask her to she says nothing is new. Or will say she's struggling with something but won't go in detail bc she says she likes to handle things on her own. She doesn't let me be there for her which leads me to feel like I'm dumping all my issues on her, even though I've made it clear I'm here for her.  If she feels overwhelmed is that my fault? Or her fault for not expressing her specific needs? I know we all have different limits but I feel that anymore space between us, and there will barely be a friendship at all. I've known her for 3 years and know she loves her space— I've always tried to give it to her (for example, I've never said that it's frustrating to wait days for a text back, i don't pressure her to call/FT instead of texting, etc). I feel I've consistently met her needs for space, yet I am too much still and I don't feel she considers my need for connection/ friendship with her. I feel guilty bc I don't want to be a toxic or needy friend. She is now ghosting me and I can't understand what I did to deserve that.  We used to live very close to one another, I moved away about a year ago

Most of the time everyone ignores me. I don't even get the attention most women get and I've never had a best friend in my life and never been asked out. I'm not exceedingly ugly or fat or have any special features that can lead to this treatment. Everyone who tried to talk to me was just pretending or they had other motives. Seriously, I feel like everyone is so fake and corny. Only person I didn't feel was corny was a foreign student in my class but he turned out to be a jerk as well. But even my interaction with him was forced and didn't feel natural at all. I have no idea what my identity is.

My roommate said he was walking to the bathroom late at night and saw one of the male friends I had over was watching something with a naked woman in it and switched over to the Office when he came out of the bathroom. I have asked my friends about this and they got very defensive and upset I would ask. Important to note this roommate and my other one have manipulated and controlled a lot of things but I don't know what to do. The roommate claims they saw a naked lady the friends claim they weren't watching tv  I want to believe my friends and my roommate brought this up in a rude. I want to know how I can resolve this so I can still have these friends over  I was asleep at the time this supposedly occurred*

There is this guy whom I have met recently through a friend. He asks me some 5000 inr (65 usd) which he said he would return me the very next month. I lend it to him without a second thought coz I was stupid enough thinking he is a nice guy but he wasn't he was not keeping his promise which made me angry as he was making me fool. The other day I asked him and his friends whether they are coming to the restaurant never did I say I would pay the bill but for some reason I refused to pay I pretend I don't have money. they came we ate the bill for a dinner but I didn't have intentions to pay the restaurant bill the bill came I just pretend I don't have enough money later I knew they didn't have enough money and they collected each other and pay it. We didn't have a word about this until we left. And the next day I reminded this guy of his loan and suddenly he was screaming shouting etc saying I am a stingy guy look what he did yesterday in the restaurant I called them for dinner and I left without contribution or paying the bill he even said he wanted to kick my *** for this reason. How would you react in such situation if you were me? I was kinda humiliated and felt bad. Would you scream back at him or just walk away realising you were wrong? Was I really wrong here or the guy who's not paying back his loan? Please clear my head!

"so. yesterday morning my brother and I got into a very heated argument. he ended up telling me to go kill myself and that he'd buy me a rope to hang myself off of. Then I left my own house because I was so hurt. After that the person I am talking told me she wanted to be left alone then proceeded to post about how someone needed to hit her up to talk and a very hot girl replied to it and this dumbass decided to flex about how hot she is and how rich she is which obviously pissed me off. Her gf (partner) was doing this all while sending veiny arm pictures to her "friend" who gets turned on by them and then proceeded to tell me I was over reacting. "I finally went home and my brother wanted to "talk the argument out" He ended up getting very explosive with me, punching **** in my room, spitting on me as he talked and eventually tried punching me in the face but i ducked it. I lost it and admitted to almost killing myself before and he punched my door one more time and ran out of the house. After this I went to the person I am talking to for comfort, and they basically did nothing. They went "Oo-insert hot rich girls name- texted me" and I lost it at that point. rn I don't even want to talk to her or my family. everyone was against me yesterday. I then got a text from friend A (my gf) and she asked if i thought friend B (their friend) was back with chloe and idk because he won't even respond to me anymore which pissed me off even MORE because he was my best friend"

This is a friend I kept in contact with. Invited her to my wedding years ago. And tried my best to keep contact with her after that. she told me about some of her problems before.A bad relationship she was in before. And we were close but not too close I guess. Then when I told her about my relationship last year she was a listening ear. I went to her for advice to be honest, and she was helpful. but then the second time She told me she would get back to me when she gets off work but never said anything back. Days went by she pretended to have forgotten. Since we are in different states we were mostly talking on the phone. I didn't take it badly because I could understand not wanting to be involved. but then at the end of the year I asked for ideas on what to get my mom for her bday since they were in the same area. She did the same thing again. Said she'll get back to me. But this time she replied like a day before the birthday with some ideas. She is always on social media so I assumed she was able to reply a little sooner. I didn't take it badly. But more so as a sign of not being close friends. I stopped engaging with her as much. because when she needed for help i did it for her. But simple things I asked she acted like she was too busy. Couple days ago She reached out to check on me. I told her I was ok and asked about her She read the text and didn't reply. Today is a holiday I texted her to wish her a happy holiday she read the text and didn't reply. why act this way?

Then a week later or so, she texted me to ask how I am doing but didn't even say late happy bday. I don't think it would be hard to forget even the birthday month??? I always remember my friends' birthdays. Even my new BF of a few months remembered mine.

I think it was bullshit. She can leave because she is 18, but the way she did it was wrong. She had everyone trying to find her *** for a week. She should be embarrassed and she should get into trouble for it.

Me and my boyfriend of 3 years broke up and we recently started quarantining together the past week. However since I've seen him he's been really sweet and we both said we want to sort it out and be together. But I'm mature and he's really quite immature sometimes which can be a problem. On and off this week he has been swearing and namecalling, in banter but I'm sensitive. For example he will say 'b**tch, f**** off. And although it's banter sometimes it feels like he's being serious, this is just the way he is. I do it back to him which makes me just as bad I guess, but I don't like it and I've said this a few times. However he said he's going to take the time before we get back together to work on it all. I have had to constantly tell him though and It's like playfighting too like punching eachother in the arm as a joke or tapping eachother on the cheek as a joke or things like that but I told him I don't wanna do it as it's going to go too far. I want to be with him so much but the past week I've seen a different side, like sometimes when he swears it's like he's actually angry and means what he says but most of the time it is just banter. What do I do? I want to be with him but is this something we can sort out?

I keep reaching out to these friends and I realized they don't really respond unless they need something or they need to talk. At first, I thought they just didn't like talking that much because they have anxiety or depression but I realized they only talk to me when it's convenient for them and pretty much ignores my texts the rest of the time. Does anyone else feels this way about some of their friends?

I am 24 (F) living in Canada for 5 years. Now my question is I tried to be happy in Canada but all in vain. I just miss my family soo much I wanna wrap up everything and go back. My family wants me to take a decision that will make me happy. They are happily waiting for me to come back. But the things is I have been here for 5 years if I stay 3 more years I will get my Canadian Passport. This is the thing that stops me from going back. As once I will have my passport I can ofcourse go back. I have given enough years to Canada and I am so near to my goal but I just can't. I just want to go back.. Should I leave everything and go back? Or wait another 3 years i live in country where you live with ur family until you are married so it's no problem for me to going back to them.. and they very supportive and it's getting difficult for me to stay here now

in real sceince some one can't make claims without proving them but not in psycoligy they only need to claim what they think happened how is this actual sceinice? example your freaking out because you ARE being followed by some one and it IS the goverment, the doctor can ruin your life and force medicate you on their CLAIM ALONE that everything that you say is happening is not because they dont have to prove their claim about you. in real sceince they would have to use the sceintific method to prove what they were saying about you,so if psycoligy doesn't use the sceintific method why is it considered fact? {fyi i was told it is a type of sceince hence why i am asking why it is not psudo science} You **** raced ******* call me a pedo for asking questions again and i am going to stop controling my desire to kill people amaricans are filth trash born rapists and you let those fake doctors abuse people i am done with you **** raced non natives and your "rights" don't incite abuse and harm against me for no reason and i won't become irate by said abuse and hurt someone because they hurt me it s that simple

We've talked about her mental health, and she trusts her friends. After a long time opening up, she disclosed that she's suicidal and has an eating disorder. She told us about how it's mostly because of the pressure, and she wants to be in control of something. She rarely eats when she's away from her parents, and sometimes purges when she is at home. Our close friend group took a road trip to another one of our friends (all in quarantine) for a week and she's hardly eaten anything in between alcohol with the group and I don't know how to bring it up. Does anyone have some advice? She does see a therapist, but I don't think anyone knows about her eating disorder except us

One time at work my boss asked me if some kids scared me. I was just working in a yard and a whole bunch of kids come in and my boss asked me if they scared me. why would I a grown man be scared of kids?

I was in this situation once before but stopped being friends with the person for other reasons. Now my current friend is always telling me about fattening foods he eats like every day, I subtly encourage him to be a little healthier but it doesn't work. I don't want to be rude but I don't know what go say.

Before quarantine my daughter & her friend (13) always hung out. They met in Nov. of this year. Let's call my daughter's friend Kim. Kim's parents invited me and my husband over for dinner one night after our girls hung out at her house. I thought that was really kind of them, and was actually looking forward to it.  Throughout the dinner, her parents came off as very cocky. They joked in a rude/insensitive way. It was an extremely awkward dinner for my husband and I. Kim is actually really sweet, but her parents are just something else! Kim is an only child and probably spoiled, but seems really polite and humble, despite her parents adulation for her (poor Kim). Thanks to quarantine, we never had to invite them to dinner at our house.  Kim's mom emails me constantly with complaints about the gymnastics center (where our girls practice) not being able to open. She is going ballistic. I was fed up and told her that it isn't safe for the gyms to open now, but let's hope we can go back soon! I always reply nicely, trying not to bite my lip. Well, Kim's mom sent me a nasty email back (like I feared - she is truly something), and now Kim hasn't texted my daughter back.  My daughter is in tears bc she doesn't know what happened. I feel like it's my fault! My daughter is quite different from me & my husband and doesn't have a problem with Kim's parents, so now I feel like the bad guy. What can I do? I felt I shouldn't let Kim's mom walk all over me, but was I in the wrong?  I can't win!!! 

(sorry long) Basically me and this girl have known each other through school for a couple of years as well as her close friend. We were all close for a while and eventually she started to act distant and ignore me when her other friend was around. Well, i confronted her about it when she asked me about it (the first time i tried to cut her off) and it caused problems. Well fast forward i started working at this new place close to home, and I find out that her and her friend work there, but i had put all of the drama behind me so i didnt think much of it. Well we hit it off immediately but i dont get too close. Well a few months later i find out that she was talking about me behind my back telling people to tell our boss to not hire me, saying im "obsessed" with her (because of the first time i confronted her), and that i "kiss ***" and she didnt want me working there. Well i decide it would be good to become more distant over time, and they start to notice, so the friend of hers go to one of my coworkers saying I am being distant and wondering why, and saying that i "obviously dont like" them, and some other stuff. This coworker comes to me and tells me out of respect, so now I dont quite know what to do. I am just trying to work!! I do not want drama and I dont know how to cut them off other than quitting. Any helpful information or any one who has experieced this kind of situation would be greatly appreciated.

I used to have an acquaintance that I knew for just a few months at my old job that I quit back in January. I don't have the best social skills and would could myself socially awkward, but would It be weird to try to befriend my former coworker 5 months later? We weren't close, but I think she would make a good friend. She is a really cool, chill person and I'm trying to make some friends, but don't want to come off as strange for trying to hit her up after so long. If not, can anybody offer some tips to how to reconnect?
