I just committed to Miami University (Ohio) and I was really excited. I quickly went on the Facebook page for accepted students and joined a group message. The group message shocked me, all they talked about was getting drunk and having sex. Granted there were only a handful of people involved in this conversation, but it made me worry about how I was going to fit in. I'm more a an introvert and I really don't enjoy drinking. I decided to post on the actual page to meet some other people, but thag made me feel even worse. Many of the people who posted got 30-40 likes while I only got 10. I am going to be pretty far from my family so if I don't make friends at college I'm going to be very isolated. I know the group only represents a fraction of the school populationbut I am sti very worried. Any advice?

I lied to my friend's dad and now I think he won't trust me no more. He's the coach of our team and he talked to my dad about it. What should I do. It'll be embarrassing to see him in person again.

We'll call them Alan and Dave. Alan told me that he was moving back to our town in two weeks. Then he asked me, "Dave didn't tell you"? I told him no. So I told Dave about our friend Alan moving back and he asked me, "really"? I thought he was pretending not to know so I asked him "what do you think"? And Dave said "idk" so I told Dave that Alan is indeed moving back. And all Dave said was "cool". I asked Dave "so you really didn't know?" He told me he didn't then I told him "really that's weird because after Alan told me about his moving back, he asked me 'dave didn't tell you'? Then Dave texted back saying that he and Alan hadn't spoken in a while. So I asked Dave if everything was okay between the two and Dave just said "idk".

I always go to bed around 1am-3am and wake up for school at 6:30am five days a week. Of course I am tired, but I can still make myself get up and through the day. On the weekends I go to sleep at those same times but sleep in until 4pm. It's really depressing because the sun sets two hours after I wake up. I can wake up multiple times and walk around on the weekend mornings but make my way back to bed until 4pm. I'm really sick of this pattern and I've tried doing everything possible to fix it.

so my best friend and I have been best friends for a long time and we tell each other everything and she always tells me how she s glad I m her best friend and such. we only have one class together so we rarely talk at school but we text/snapchat all the time I always ask her to hang out and she always saids yes but then ends up canceling and I m just so fed up with it and pissed that she can never hang out. for example we were going to hang out Wednesday but then we couldn t and then so she said let s hang out on Friday. so Friday came and last mintue she said that her dad wanted to hang out so then told me that we were going to hang out Sunday. we made plans and everything and then last minute she made plans to go skiing instead of hanging out with me. this have been happening all year and I m pissed cause she gets mad when I hang out with other people but she never hangs out with me. I don t know what to do at this point cause I m just so done with trying to make plans when she always cancels so why should I do

I'm turning 19, and this is my first birthday I will be completely alone, broke, and pretty much homeless. I'm a former foster kid, and It has been so hard to find a job that pays enough to support myself without any credential, training, or degree. I only have a diploma. I don't have any credit yet, so apartments wouldn't let me rent anyway. MOVING ON: I've never been completely on my own (I've always felt alone, but at least I had a bed) ... I need an idea of a way to maybe cheer myself up on my birthday next week. Maybe I'll be able to smile. Anything different that I could do? Birthday ideas that are festive, and cheap or free? My money from the system ran out months ago from staying in cheap motels. I had no idea where to go after I aged out, and I was never adopted so now I'm out of options. I do work at target right now, but can't get enough hours. I'm couch hoping also, but sometimes I sleep outside. All I've got is my prepaid cell phone, my backpack, and my converse. Okay idk why I'm telling you this I'm just expressing my feelings really since I don't have anyone to talk to... but anyway. you get the picture of how depressed I am. Sorry for complaining too much. I just need advice and answers... on the plus side, I have a new friend who let me stay over and borrow her computer. .. :( Please just suggest things to do alone that might cheer me up on my birthday. thanks.

OK so I typed out this question before but it deleted it self so I have to retype the whole thing which I really don't feel like doing so I'll just summarize OK basically I never really wore anything of a specific style ever normally I just wore Trackie bottoms and some random shirt with a image on it Anyways I recently changed to wearing Something more of a I guess Prep style (jeans and A button shirt) and I'm kinda turned on by myself now when I look on the mirror I was just wondering if this was normal or if I should be worried About becoming a cocky arrogant asshole Sorry if this seems agressive or It offends you in some way But I just typed this really fast cause the first one got deleted I hope people still answer the first one was worded a lot better sorry if this one is confusing Also what do you think of that style cause just wondering your opinioms

I have a friend that thinks what I do for her is cute. Even what I say and how I am. I went to her place and brought her homemade cinnamon rolls and told her she should enjoy them with someone she loves. She smiled and giggled and said, "Aww, what a cute gesture." I told her to have a good day and to study well. I also told her I owed her a night out to get coffee with her, because she beat me at some game we played. She giggled and said that it was cute for me to remember. I asked why she thought everything I say or do is cute and she just smiled and said I should know why. I just stumbled on my speech and didn't know what to say. I told her to have a good day and she asked if I was going to hug her and I did and she giggled and whispered that my hugs were tight and warm. I quickly apologized and she giggled and said it was okay.

The last five or six years I had been friends with someone who had been absolutely cunning. My mom told me how much of a waste and piece of trash this girl was. She was my best friend, until I really did see how fake she was. She is 21 and I'm 18. My friend had been been playing me and my mom against each other. Once I finally broke ties with her, because she is a complete *****, my mom (40 years) became best friends with her. I even got in a huge fight with my ex best friends mom for being a complete ***. Her mom was even telling lies to my mom about me. Now all my mom does is invite her over, hang out, and drink, and do everything for my ex best friend instead of me. I'm absolutely sick of it. I mean, just now. We are finally moving, and this girl lives next door. We found a nice apartment and I was finally happy to get away from that ***** and to find out today she is trying to help that ***** get an apartment right next to us. What can I do or deal with this?

So my friend's mom called me just a few minutes ago and asked me if I was still with (her daughter) my friend. I knew that my friend was with her boyfriend and I wasn't sure what she told her mom, so I assumed she said she was still with me and didn't want to get her in trouble and then have her be mad at me. So anyways I said "Yeah. We're just outside." Then she asked to talk to her daughter and I panicked and turned off my phone so she'd think it died. Then I called my friend (she doesn't have a phone, her boyfriend's phone) and told her what happened. She got pissed at me anyways and told me to tell her mom I was lying. But I can not do that I have the worst anxiety and I'm afraid her mom will say she can't hang out with me. So I just told my friend to tell her mom that my phone died and I went home, and I hope she does it. But I'm really nervous and guilty that I lied... and that my friend is still mad at me regardless. I thought I was keeping her out of trouble, because usually I do the opposite and tell the truth but then that ends up badly too. I was worried if I said no and she told her mom that I was with her, my friend would get in trouble. But things got messy anyways and now I feel really bad overall. What do I do?

I had a best friend for all of middle school who was pretty much the definition of a perfect best friend. I considered her like my family, I could tell her anything, and we made so many memories together, but now that we're freshmen, she ditched me to hang out with "cool" people to avoid being talked about. Now, the girls at my school (including her) are always leaving me out, so I hang out with the boys, who are totally drama free and everything, but the girls are even MORE mean to me because of that. How do I fix that?

I met a guy last semester who was in two of my classes well actually three. anyway whenever he saw me on campus he would always say hi to me and i would acknowledge him back. eventually we started having lunch together and just started getting closer. This semester he's in one of my classes and we usually sit next to each other in class. about three weeks into the semester it seems like he's been trying to avoid me. When he leaves for class he doesn't wait for me. One day i caught him walking behind me on my way back to our residence halls and he didn't even come up to me? i thought that was strange. we had a study review session for the class we're in. When i got in the room i acknowledged him by waving and say hey. he decided when he wanted to leave he didn't even acknowledge me or look at me. I consider him one of my closest friends on campus, but i feel he doesn't want to be friends with me and i'm not sure what i should do.. someone please help

He kept inviting me with his social circle and one day he called me out saying that I have no friends which is true. How should I react to this?

Okay so me and these two girls all used to be really close. But, a few years ago the two of them got into a fight and haven't spoken since. Unintentionally, we all picked the same college to attend. My one friend, let's call her 'Jenna' asked me a couple of weeks ago if i'd want to dorm with her, so of course I said yes. Because at the time my other friend, let's call her "Amy" didn't really know what she was going to do for college. But a few days ago Amy asked me if I'd want to dorm with her, and I didn't have the heart to tell her I told Jenna I'd dorm with her. I'd be so fun if we were all friends and we could live in a triple together, but the fact is that neither of them want to fix their friendship. So, now I don't know what to do. Jenna did ask me first, but I don't want Amy to think that I'm choosing Jenna as a friend over her. WHAT SHOULD I DO?

Me and my friends are going to skip on senior skip day. We have a cookout planned and everything but we need a plan B. It's scheduled to rain all week and we need an idea on something fun to do indoors

My friend from 7 years ago past away last night. I'm so depressed, confused, and left with the most boring life. She was always there for me. I was always taking her out to places like shopping & restaurants for a hangout, not for romance. We would always play video games when we were younger. We wouldn't have so many fights like other friends do. We were two peas in a pod. We're also then same age. Both 15 years old and females. I miss her deeply. A week ago when she was alive and happy and came over for a visit, she told me that on March, we'd become best friends and maybe even lovers. I was excited at first. Then all of a sudden.. something sparked our friendship. She wasn't communicating with me anymore and stopped talking to me, plus, she deleted her Instagram and blocked me on Snapchat. I tried texting her through SMS but no response and later today, I found out she had passed away!!! I was in complete utter shock. Why did she just die like that & idk HOW the fudge she did. My parents told me and now I'm left with nobody. She probably was sad over something or idek. I'm tearing up, faint crying, and in the dark, in my sister's room. I locked the door and now here on Yahoo Answers, asking for some help. What can I do now. I don't want my family to think this has affected me so much to the point that I want to COMMIT A SUICIDE.

Ok so I was texting my mom and I was telling her If she had a foot soap substance that I can soak my feet in (I have foot problems lol) but my mom told me to take a picture of my feet and send it to her because I also asked her why I had a bruise on my feet (I know gross). I kinda hesitated at first but i took the picture and sent it but I accidently sent it to my close best friend oops. Now I m so embarassed what do I say to my friend tomorrow since I have to go to school?

My friend did something that really hurt my feelings and she does it over and over. I don't want to get into it but I just want a way that I can let her know I'm mad/let her wonder? I dont want to completely ignore her because I dont want to loose contact completely I just want her to know I'm mad. Any ideas? Thanks! (No mean comments please)

I'm 29 and I had sex with a 42 year old almost year ago. He and I live in different states. I wanted to see him again while I was in his state last week. I sent him a text letting him know I was in town and he asked me for the address. I told him I would contact him once I got to the hotel. When I got to the hotel I asked him to come see me. He told me he was out of town but that he would be back the next day. (Sometimes he has to travel for his job) Yet earlier that day he and I saw each other at the park. It wasn't planned we walked right past each other and didn't say anything. Then when he got far away he stopped and turned around he knew it was me. I was upset because he said he wouldn't meet me and he started calling me nonstop but I ignored his calls. Then I got drunk and wen off on him in text messages he called me again but I didn't answer. However when I told him I wanted to come and see him he did tell me that he was going through financial issues (he's going through a lawsuit) and that he may not feel like meeting up with me. And that he would if he was available. I want to experience that feeling with him again.

The Lady is my mother's Saw Call Best Friend she lives across the Street from unfortunately she does.But anyways i never talk to her or get into some Dispute with her. I never trusted her i always got thy impression that she had some jealousy issues towards my relationship with my mother or my marriage because of her me and my mother haven't spoken for two years. My mother would trust by telling all her Bad experiences secrets of her Past and she would be sneaky by telling me about them. So whenever i come across with her something goes wrong threw out my day either i get into a dispute with somebody or something doesn't go right for me and this only happens whenever i bump into her which i always do everything to act and pretend like she doesn't exist i try to be the mature adult in this situation the other day i ran into her by mistake when i had recognizes her face i right away turn the other cheek and and she just started to laugh but i still ignored her like i always do after seeing her something goes negative like if she's some black cat or something i don't know what and i'm not the problem because from what i heard she's not very likable in her Job by her other Co workers but i appreciate your Good helpful answers thanks!

So how do you start/hold a conversation with someone you don't know anything about? Or how about someone that you only sort of know? I am an extremely antisocial teenager that is trying to learn how to fit in so any advice would be much appreciated.

I broke things off with my friend (typical girl to girl friendship) We were friends since 5th grade until she moved far to her home country 6 years ago and stayed for that long. We didn't keep it touch... She came back a few months ago and we reconnected but she's a different person and I don't want her in my life. She always visits my house and I don't get excited ever for it.. (Shouldn't a real good friendship have me jumping up and down?) I want to maintain a REAL fun happy friendship not a fake one. I almost feel upset when she comes.. I feel obligated to hang out with her and usually feel like I can't be myself. We literally do nothing. Just listen to music and talk about her and stay on phone the entire time. She does things she isn't suppose to do and usually hide in secrecy (our friendship in a nutshell) We got into a small argument(through text) about my little brother learning bad words from her little sister and she got really offended even though I told her very kindly about the issue and she started bizarre things like "didn't know you had to faces" "Promise not going to ur house ok bye" << always says stuff like that but I'm suppose to be like "wait a minutes stupid.. Come on now.. Etc" But I rather be like "yeah don't come.. It's for the better" The point of this is that I want a real relationship.. Not a fake. What do you think of our relationship? Anyway.. She isn't doing me good. I broke things off in a text and I hope she doesn't end up coming to my house randomly like she always does. Additional things: - We don't share anything in common - A bit of a language barrier and don't share humor - Our families are completely different (our moms are the reason for our relationship) - I can't be myself with her.. Like I'm gonna be judged or made fun of - When I was on a good diet I've been working on for 2 weeks.. She typically forced me to eat junk food with her and I've been off the diet since and it's hard for me to get back on it - We stay in the house all the time with locked door and she's on the phone talking to someone all the time - I can't share things with her.. She's always doing something and doesn't give me a chance to start it.. It's like im invisible - What do you think? Was it a good choice? She hasn't responded though. She's read my message but hasn't responded. I told her its best we go our separate ways. And if she needs help we can talk through phone or text but besides that just be companions. Told her to take care of herself and basically saying farewell. ...what now? Please help.. I've never done this kind of stuff before. I don't have much friends.. In fact I don't think I have a real friendship that makes me overwhelmed with excitement.. I could be myself, share anything and basically a fun and real friendship I rather be lonely then have fake friendships. ☆ Sent from iOS Dr. Know! 1.0

Me and my (ex) friend have ALL our classes together and sit next to each other and have ongoing projects with each other in these classes, but she is a really self centered toxic friend so I recently broke it off. What do I do when school starts up again Monday?

I am a sophomore in high school, but my best friend is a senior. She is going to a college about 3 1/2 hours away from where I will be, and things are going to be very different. I am trying to make the most of the time we have left and look forward to the future, despite the fact that she ll be gone. How can I be happy when I know how much I m going to miss her?

My two best friends , let's say their names are Emily and Alison , and i have been friends since primary school and we are really really close .When we went to middle school they became friends with a girl from their class, let's say Anna ,who didn't like me and i didn't like her either. We still hanged out together in school hours because she was friends with the girls , but she was never part of our group. But this year it changed , she got really close with the girls (emily told me anna was one of her best friends which i don't mind i am jus telling s u can understand better) and she comes almost everywhere we go . Also i kind of liked her , i mean she is nice but she the type of person i could never be friends with and i feel she believes the same about me , so we just bear up Each other .Where i want to end up is that i don't want us to be bf or emily and Alison to stop hang out with her because of me .What should i do?

I am in love with my 5 years best friend. Help me somehow. Tell me how to make him see my love without actually telling him that. :(

My friend keeps following my other friends that she doesn't even know on instagram. It's like she literally goes to see my followers and who I'm following and she follows them as well, even though I know for a fact she doesn't know them She's followed my friends from other schools, my exes ect I'm getting sick of it.. One of my friends even complained about it and asked me if I know her and why my "best friend" followed her and then un followed her. My question is why do you think she is following my other friends??

I want friends, but don't have any. I'm usually lonely most weekends because the little friends I do end up making leave because my mom won't ever let me leave the house because she's way too overprotective. I feel like a wicked highschool loser and wonder if I should even continue trying. The people Iknow are out at parties with their boyfriends and cars, and I'm in my house all alone wishing I could end it all but am too much of a chicken to. There isn't really a Q here, more of a rant tbh. Thanks for reading, maybe you have some insights or maybe you've been through it and it does get better. Fin.

My friend recently told me she has an eating disorder, and she thinks shes fat when she is not. Every single day she throws away her lunch at school because her parents are not there to see her eat it(they have to work.) They know she has an eating disorder and have her on a meal plan. Anyways, she throws away her sandwich, yogurt, fruit cup and gatorade away everyday, as well as her morning snack. She eats breakfast, dinner and a night snack everyday because her parents are at home with her to make sure she eats. She lies to her parents and tells them she ate. What do I do?

This girl who was my best friend is upset with me because I guess I smother her too much. I used ask her to hang out every weekend but she said she was always busy because of school and sports and I would get sad because I really enjoy spending time with her and she thinks that's annoying. But we still texted everyday and whenever I saw her around she would hug me and we would talk a little bit. A few days ago I tried to apologize for being clingy but she got mad at me and said she was tired of me complaining about her not having time to see me. I asked her if we could start over but she said she wasn't sure if she wanted to and didn't text back. I texted her four times to let her know that she's important but she hasn't text me back. I know shouldn't have sent her that many messages but we were really close and I know she used to like me so I didn't care about looking crazy. Should I just give up or keep trying to get her to talk to me again?

okay so im 13 and I'm going on this field trip which is a 3-4 hour ride to a park with our school, and of course my mom can't let me do anything by myself so she had to volunteer. if your parent volunteers you choose a group of 10 people and you go on the bus with them, heres the problem the people I'm friends with already have a group and I'm left with my best friend and thats it. if my mom didnt volunteer it wouldn't be such a problem, she has to ruin EVERYTHING, she can't let me do anything alone, go to the mall, movies ANYWHERE i can't even go to my friends house if my mom doesn't know them! its so annoying she's making me anti social and i end up with no friends what can i do!? and she can't just get out of it she paid 150 dollar and she can't get a refund! she also can't get out of it, she paid 150 dollars and no refunds ooops i said it twice

I posted in the dating section but no answers so I'm trying here. Long story short, the last time he visited me (which was the end of last year), he broke up with me because of family issues and personal stress he was going through. He said I'm a good person yet he didn't want to keep contact nor stay friends so of course he hasn't contacted me since. But this is important! I recently found personal belongings of his that he must have left over here such as 2 of his college notebooks, his eyeglass kit to his prescription glasses, a few of his clothes and his watch. I texted him the other day explaining and offering to either mail them or quickly drop them off. But he hasn't responded. Why? I was being neutral in my text, no drama. Just trying to be a kind person, plus I feel bad that his important things are left over here. Today it showed he updated his facebook status through mobile so I know he's still alive, and has his phone (he's not on my facebook because he eventually unadded me however his profile is public). What do I do? All I need is an answer. Ps- to those of you assuming I want him back, I dont. I have a new boyfriend now. But I am a generous person and am naturally sympathetic. Apparently you're getting confused.

So I have two best friends, I will call them Amanda and Rose. So, Amanda introduced me to Rose two years ago, and since then we've became best friends. Ever since that, she's been dramatic and rude. She has made Rose and I cry several times by her insults and bullying. Rose is very sensitive, and yesterday they got into a fight about Amanda saying something racist and rude to her, "Shut the f**ck up, N*gga." And after she told her that she was sensitive she said, "Be tough then." I don't understand why she wants to be friends still with her. One time, Amanda told me that Rose doesn't understand us, that we should just leave her! I hate all the drama she's causing in me and Rose's life! I always have to listen to her verbally abusing us. From blaming her boyfriend that he's cheating with me to betraying Rose and I's secrets....she's done it all. I don't understand, then she wants to be best friends again?! She can't be jealous of me and Rose, we spend most of our time with her. Rose says she's leaving for good but I think she will come back, I am pretty sure. What do I do?

A guy I was friends with was telling me that places are hiring 40 years olds and 20 something year old girls, and that retail and teaching have become the mean girl job. At first, I didn't believe him, but now I see what he mean. I used to work retail and the girls who were younger were very catty and the older women always wanted the easy shifts and no weekends or nights to watch their kids, even though their kids were in junior/senior year of high school. My friend had a manager who was female at another store who would constantly cut the people she didn't like hours. She also worked at a bank, and the guy manager would make fun of the military and people in it. They fired her and the supervisor who was female would come to her other job and act really catty to her, like leave the girl alone she's done at your place. She also worked at a fundraising place and the two women there would always say the customers were stupid and retarded and they would make fun of her for nonsense. She would also do internships/volunteering at elementary schools, and the women teachers would talk bad about other teachers and be really critical and make fun of her. This isn't a knock on all women, but why is it like this? It's some men, too. Plus, a lot of these people were clear into their 30-pushing 40. I just don't get it. The guy I was friends with said they're just stuck in high school mentality.

I think it would be cool to have someone to write back and forth with

I don't like the way a friend of mine talks about my family. I have severe OCD and had to move back home a few years ago, and my family has been really hard on me at times because they get frustrated with me. They are pretty ignorant and don't really understand how hard it is for me - but I know they're not being malicious, they really just don't get it and don't know how to deal with the situation. I met this friend online in an OCD support group, and we developed feelings for each other even though I have now lost interest. He's always saying horrible things about my family, and it really bothers me. My dad yells at me a lot. It's hurtful, and he says horrible things. And I'm not excusing his actions, but I know he loves me. He just doesn't know how to deal with my OCD behaviors. This friend has called my dad a terrible person and implied that he doesn't really care about me. One time when I described an incident with my dad, he put me on the phone with his dad and said "I just thought you needed to talk to someone who actually knows how to be a father." One of the times when I was on the phone with his dad, I was talking about how I think about killing myself, and his dad told me that if I kill myself, my family wins. He ACTUALLY said my family would see it as a "win" if I killed myself. And I KNOW that's not true, and what a horrible thing to say. He also told me his dad had told him once that my dad needs to have be strung up by the nuts and have them fed to him for treating his daughter this way. He has said that his father wants to be more of a father to me than my own is, and another time, he said his parents probably love me more than mine do. That time, I snapped. His parents are strangers to me - even though he keeps telling me they are family to me too, I couldn't care less about those people. I love MY family, and no one has a right to talk about them like that or say they don't love me. Neither he nor his parents work. They're all living on disability. To be fair, they do all legitimately have disabilities, but they're not bedridden or severely mentally challenged. If they wanted, they could find some kind of employment that wouldn't aggravate their disabilities. They choose instead to sponge off of other people's hard earned money. He sits around and spends his life playing video games and smoking weed. So they have no understanding of the stress someone like my dad, who works 18 hours a day, deals with. I don't understand why someone like him or either of his parents thinks they have a right to say such horrible things about my dad. His parents aren't exactly paragons of virtue themselves. His mom was arrested for shoplifting a few years ago, and his dad regularly had sex with hookers before they were married. My dad may lose his temper and get frustrated from time to time, but he at least has morals and would never do things like that. And my friend talks about his parents like they are the best people in the world too - he gets mad that the guy who arrested his mom had the nerve to do this. He said the guy was in disguise and followed her until he caught her - this guy is on his list of people he would kill if he could. Um, sorry, but the guy was just doing his job. Your mom was breaking the law. He keeps telling me I need to move to Arkansas, and his family will take me in as one of their own. I have no interest in moving to Arkansas and no interest in being a part of his family. I already have a family, whom I love very much despite their flaws. Even if my family is horrible to me at times, I feel like moving to Arkansas and living with those people would be like jumping into quicksand - being surrounded by people who have no motivation to do anything worthwhile with their lives. I also feel like his parents want me there because they feel like I'm the best chance their son has at not ending up alone - he weighs 420 pounds, is very unattractive, and he has no drive to do anything with his life other than play stupid games on the computer. I almost feel like they're trying to lock me down while I'm vulnerable, because they know when I get better there's no way I would date someone like him because I'd have other options. I don't appreciate being shoehorned into being a part of their dysfunctional family, considering his parents whom I really don't even respect as my own, or being in a relationship with him when I feel like I could find someone better. Am I overreacting, or am I right in being upset that he and his parents are talking trash about my family?

So my best friend has this close friend of hers ever since 7th grade and we are in 8th grade right now. We also don't go to the same school anymore. But anyways, I recently started hanging out with this close friend of hers and found out that she talks behind peoples back but other than that she is really nice. I told my best friend because we tell each other everything. My best friend told me she realized that too but she stil trusts her for sure. And for some reason, I feel like slightly jealous and I'm not sure but I just feel like we are drifting.

My boyfriend and I have a mutual friend. Hes not a very good friend (rude, argumentative & has been quite nasty to both of us at different times). He wanted to go to a movie tonight with my boyfriend, w/o me there. I dont care if they hang out, but this was a movie that my boyfriend & I had already planned to see together (without the friend). My BF didn't want to go without me (since he doesn't really care for the friend in the first place & also because we'd already planned going together). Anyway, the mutual friend wouldn't acknowledge that I was going, & it got to the point where he said "I feel like an ***. Bit of a spoiled brat now. I'm now asking you to come along." I was going to go anyway, because otherwise my boyfriend wouldn't have gone, but I told the mutual friend that if boyfriend wants to go, that's on him, but that I'm not going because I'm tired of being his friend when he doesn't ever want me around. This is a guy who constantly picks fights with everyone, starts Facebook drama (& never seems to want to finish it; just keeps it going & going), & always wonders why his "friends" never want to hang out, or why he has so few friends. Trust me, I DO understand needing time with just guys or just other girls. We do have our alone time as well. Am I wrong for just wanting the toxicity to end? I'm sick of trying to be his friend & then being treated like I don't exist. So, in this situation, did I do the right thing? Should I stop being his friend?

He's 17 and it's his first job (I'm not working yet) and now all of the sudden all he talks about is what his work is like and whenever we're playing video games he'll get off and be like "Oh sorry I gotta go to work now" in the most narcissistic manner. Now he's bragging how he has so much money now and how he makes all these impractical and expensive purchases.

There's this girl that befriended me a few years ago. We've never met in person and only met off of Twitter. After we connected, she and I became friends on Facebook and Instagram. When she found out I got back together with an ex-boyfriend, she got angry at me and told me to be careful because I didn't know how committed he was to me. She said I couldn't wait around for him forever and didn't want me wasting my time. Why would she be stressed about that when she doesn't even know me? I then stopped talking to her because I felt that I should've never told her about it in the first place. It was none of her business. I blocked her off all social media sites and erased her number out of my phone. Before we reconnected three years later, why would she still reach out to me a few times? She opened a new Facebook account and why would she send me a friend request three years later although she knew I closed the door on her the first time? When I decided to give her another chance, she was at it again, so I blocked her off of all social media sites again. Six months later, I sent her this email and she never responded. I said, "Hi, I know it's been six months since we last spoke. When you sent me a friend request on Facebook after not speaking for three years, I thought it was a mistake to accept it. I just wanted to let you know I'm very happy with my life and I've moved forward. I really think it's not a good idea to rekindle our friendship. I wish you all the best. Take care!"

I'm a freshman, I'm on the varsity soccer team. I know no one on the team or the ones I know are all preppy popular girls.I've also never played soccer before. There are 4 popular girls on the team that I can't stand. They are also really athletic, and the only other two on the team that haven't played will be able to pick it up a lot quicker than me. We also don't have a very big team, and so far people have been nice to me. But i'm scared that they will judge me. During practices I usually just 'do'. As in I don't talk to anyone , even though they talk to each other, and make a lot of noise and shout, and stuff. I'm really silent. I don't know how I can change this. I want to be able to be loud like my other team mates. I also just don't know what to say if I were able to talk.. I have no idea how to start conversations with them. I just stand around, and nod, shake my head, etc. What can I do to change this? I really lover soccer, and I'm already not the best player, so I don't want to be taken off the team for being too quiet, or being accused of not really caring about soccer at all, not caring, not trying, etc.. Sorry for posting this twice.. I don't really know a good category that I could post this in

Well I'm starting college next year and I moved in with them already since I got accepted into a prestigious highschool.. I'm 17, and I'm rooming with several of my friends. My parents let me move in since the school is so far away, and only because they knew them, and they trusted me and stuff.. We got a large, and I mean really large apartment in the city. We are all different ages, and male. I'm 17, and My best friend is also 17 who is going to the highschool. There is a 16 year old who also got accepted, two 19 year olds, a 20 year old, and a 21 year old. There are 3 rooms, and I got stuck in the 3 people room with my best friend, and one of the 19 year olds. The problem is that some of them have really outgoing, bold personalities that sometimes clash with my quite nature. I've grown quite close with all of them, and am enjoying this experience but the problem is we all expect of the oldest can't cook. How do we make this experience more fun, and pleasant? I'm enjoying it so far, but I don't want to end up disliking this experience. There is a strict no drinking policy since the majority of us are under aged so don't worry about that. xD what are some rules we can make to make it better? The 19-21 year olds go to a college near the school btw if your confused.

My best friend and I both deal with depression. But she has bipolar depression, and she's very confusing and hard to keep up with. We've vowed to always stick by each other, and never keep secrets, or lie. Which I've kept. But she never listens to me anymore or wants to talk or facetime. We live six hours away from each other...and I miss her so much. But since I left she's gotten so much worse and she hates her living with her mom and I don't know what to do. I mean there's only so much of her ranting I can take. But when I rant about something she just doesn't reply or says hm. As if it were nothing. My stuff is usually more important too...like about how my mom fat shames me, and she talks about her A- that she's been crying about for five hours. I'm so confused. I don't want to stop talking to her. She's my best friend, and I love her so much, and I'd never want to lose her. I don't know where'd I be if I hadn't met her two years ago. Sometimes she's even suicidal, and it breaks my heart. It used to be different...and I wish that we could both talk and listen and it wasn't just a one sided thing. We do see each other in person but it's with her mom there in a hotel. and we've agreed we need a day to ourselves where we can literally just hug each other and cry and that's it. But I'm not sure when we'll even get a chance like that... What's your advice...?

Ok, so I'm in highschool and I will admit that I have gotten in trouble for hanging out with the wrong crowd but now my mom thinks everybody in this world is bad and a druggie. I want to longboard or ride by bike around town and my dads cool with it but when she is home she just says no and seems to think someones just give me heroin or something. What do I tell her? This is affecting my social life.

My friend make a fake insta to dm(direct message) people as a joke. She made the account so that it was anonymous so that people wouldn t know. One of the days she dm d a guy in our year in school. We had a conversation anonymously for the whole week until last night when I told him who I was. He knew the count wasn t mine and that there was someone else running the account but he still doesn t know who. Around 20 min after I told him who I was he stopped texting and hasn t opened the messages. I know he s been online and everything so what do I do? Do I tell him that it wasn t actually me I was framed?

I've been friends with this person since first grade I'm now 24. The problem is I only really hangout with this person because I've known them for so long apart from that I feel it's a waste of time because we have nothing in common and they are very negative and cynical and it often brings me down. I know this person doesn't have many friends so I will feel bad ignoring them I just don't know how to say "I don't want to be friends anymore" it seems too cold

I told my best guy friend I like him and he said that he doesn't feel the same way and that he needs some space. And in the end of the message he said good bye, i wish you well. Does he not want to be my friend anymore? he hasn't taken me off facebook though

I still feel awful that people still like each other's pictures on social media. Does it mean they still consider high school people as friends? When do freshman consider college people as friends? It's frustrating

I went clubbing with my female friend and her friends. I got waaaay too drunk and embarrassed myself in front of her and her friends. She forgives me but I still feel stupid...

I had a decent amount of friends in high school I wasn't popular but they were more so acquaintances due to the group of people I hung out with. Eventually some moved away and others went their separate ways and now i really only have 1 to 2 friends which I'm not even that close to. It bums me out because my parents are all I've really got and they are very old so i know they won't be around forever and I'm scared of ending up alone. I've always been kind of a shy I mean I'm sure I'll be in a relationship again at some point in my life and maybe even have a family someday hopefully but idk It just makes me feel like a loser is this normal to think this way?

So basically I have a few friends:Anna J,anna T,nathaly,Suzana,analya,tahani,Lilian,Catherine,arielys,and haylis.but im only best friends with 6 of them and out of those 6 I only have 2 of them in all my classes. And basically I have been ignoring my other classmates all year. Is there any way to be friends with those classmates?plz help me

Ok, so we were getting ready to leave gym class, and this one boy (he's really annoying) tries to talk( I ignore) and this other kid said something like: she doesn't like you! Leave her alone. why? I'm confused. I barely know both of them.

my parents are from Costa Rica haha I speak of stature!

I live in a house wich is owned by a family to who I pay rent for a room. Yesterday there was only me and one the women that live there in the house, I was putting on my shoes since nobody is allowed to have the shoes on while being inside and then the woman walks out of her room going to the bathroom just wearing a bra and a towel covering her waist and little lower. The thing is that I don t know if she knew that I was there or what but, what should I do? Should I just act like nothing happened or should I talk to her about it? I feel kind of weird walking around her now.

I'm 29 and I had sex with a 42 year old almost year ago. He and I live in different states. I wanted to see him again while I was in his state last week. I sent him a text letting him know I was in town and he asked me for the address. I told him I would contact him once I got to the hotel. When I got to the hotel I asked him to come see me. He told me he was out of town but that he would be back the next day. (Sometimes he has to travel for his job) Yet earlier that day he and I saw each other at the park. It wasn't planned we walked right past each other and didn't say anything. Then when he got far away he stopped and turned around he knew it was me. I was upset because he said he wouldn't meet me and he started calling me nonstop but I ignored his calls. Then I got drunk and wen off on him in text messages he called me again but I didn't answer. However when I told him I wanted to come and see him he did tell me that he was going through financial issues (he's going through a lawsuit) and that he may not feel like meeting up with me. And that he would if he was available.

I don't have many, I keep to myself, I decline invitations to hang out with people all the time, and I'm just tired if my friends. I'm a junior in high school and I have maybe about 7 friends, I don't talk to anyone else unless they talk to me first. But here lately im starting to not talk it any of them. If I didn't go to school I would only talk to one of them regularly. I feel like they're too immature and they're not helping me get anywhere in life. But even the one I would talk to I don't even like her, I'd only talk to her because ive known her forever. Im pushing them all out of my life and I don't even care, I'm tired of people in high school and I feel like all of my friends are unintelligent ( which honestly they are since half of them want to smoke weed and drink and all they talk about is guys ) ive just changed a whole lot and now I don't really have any friends and I don't know how to make any other friends since I can't find anyone else like me unless they're guys. My friends are just so boring to me now they got old. What do I do ? I need some people like me in my life but I can't just cut all of them off because they'd hate me
