I am super socially awkward and unsociable and I hate myself for it. I have a really hard time making friends and the ones I do have is mostly because a them befriending me. I don't like socializing and I would rather be someplace secluded reading or something else by myself. There are those who I am aquanted with bordering on casual friends who I might occasionally spend a little time with but if there is a new person especially a girl hanging around I'm gone and I hate myself because it's not because I like them but becausue of habit I think. My mom worries about me because I don't hang out like my brothers and is trying to get me to socialize. I like being alone but I am also lonely. I am awful at conversation and I have no self confidence. Their is a girl I sort of like but because of these things there is no hope. I hate myself because of these things yet I'm comfortable where I am in certain aspects. If you can make sense of this congratulations. Please help me!

I am getting married in May 2017 and so far I have 2 bridesmaid who are my cousin(17) and one of my friends(21). I keep thinking that I'm not sure I can imagine my wedding without my old school friend in the wedding party though. We have been friends since we were about 5 and were pretty much inseparable until I left school 6 years ago. Since then we have really had different lives. She went to college and moved to England for a bit and I got a house with my fiancé and had children so we just drifted. She was there the night I got engaged a year ago but we only talk maybe once a month or so. I talk everyday to my other bridesmaid that's my friend but we don't see each other much and she doesn't make a huge effort. I would never go back on asking her because she's still my friend but I do feel like my old friend has still be there more for me. I just don't know if it would be awkward to ask her because we're not that close but at the same time feel like it may bring us closer again. What would you do?

A common notion in my workplace is that a certain co-worker of ours has a very gorgeous sister (she shops in our department often), and last night I messaged her of Facebook and used a sort of funny pickup line (I'm usually in the back of the store and don't serve customers). Anyhow, my co-worker told me today that after he told her who I was, she laughed at the pickup line and said she may message me tonight because she saw my profile and thought I was "hot." So we're friends on Facebook now, and I'm wondering about where to go from there. Do I wait for her to message me? Do I message her? Would it be way too forward to message her first?

I am 17 and already graduated high school (I went to a small school so there weren't many kids). All my friends which is like 3 of them now just spend all their time getting drunk or high and turning into ******* which I don't particularly want to be a part of. I am incredibly shy and socially awkward which makes it hard for me to talk to people. What are some good ways to make friends?

here's what happened, we were sitting in the classroom together watching a movie and someone i guess died in the movie and then i laughed. my friend said that's not funny then i kept laughing. my friends stopped talking to me and avoided me.

My friend keeps making personal comments that are getting me down. She talks about areas where I store fat and compares our body shapes. I am smaller but she says we both have big thighs. She goes on about how she's taller than me. She keeps on about when we were slimmer and shows me photos of myself when I was skinny nd it makes me feel down

I live in a very nice neighborhood and my parents are very well off. I don't like being showy and brag that my parents are rich but my friend told others that I get a bunch of financial aid for college when I got only 2k and have to pay about 40k. And when we were together with other friends she told one of our friends Natasha that she will probably get no aid because her parents are so rich and she turned to me and said "you probably will get a lot though" which implies that i'm poor. I don't like being confrontational so i just stayed quiet but it's really annoying. I didn't want to brag and say that my dad has his own company (a successful one) and my mom works at a big company and say that our family is very wealthy. But I was really embarrassed because she said this in front of our group of friends. What should I say the next time this happens?

I'm not rich like my friends. I can't go out to dinner all the time and go shopping. But I act like I do, and I still go. My family doesn't live in the nice homes like theirs and I have deep problems they wouldn't understand. There is one friend outside my group who is still I guess in the crowd I'm associated with who I think may have a similar situation as me, but for some reason i never wanted to reach out to her and discuss it because I hate admitting I need help or that I'm not the person everyone thinks I am. My whole life is like s phony and I feel like I am denying who I really am. I don't want to come out and be all weird and different because all my siblings were associated in the same kind of group of people I'm in (the regular pretty rich social group..) but somehow they managed to live a lie which I feel depressed doing. I don't feel like keeping up with it but I don't want to leave my friends either... But my home life and situation makes me unable to be in relationships or even be happy, it may be starting to cause depression and I'm tired of the way I'm feeling. BUT ITS NOT ALL THE TIME. Just a moment will make me fee so depressed about it. Could I have some kind of mental illness to make me so sad all of a sudden? Or is it just my depressing life making me so upset?

My family isn't poor, but we aren't rich.. I I live in the nicest neighborhood, in an ugly rental house. I'm not fat, but I'm not a good amount of skinny I want to be, etc. my whole life seems like such a pony lifestyle. I'm not complaining I know so many others have it SO much worse, but it seems so depressing to me. My family is such a weird kind of rich/poor. We can pay for college and stuff but my parents have to wait for our paycheck to get groceries. It seems like NONE of my friends have to do this, I have plenty of average money friends but I think I'm the poorest of them.I want to have the house where everyone hangs out at but for all 6 people in my family there's no room for all my friends to come over. And there's never any food. I'm not saying like we have things I don't want to eat, but we don't have food. Old boxes of chili powders and rice and stale crackers etc. it sounds so cliche and I sound like a complainer, but I'm tired of putting on a fake show for everyone being something in not, but i love the group of people I'm in and I don't want to seem like s complainer. I think I have depression but I'm too afraid to say anything. This life is bringing me down.

My friend told me she has masses in her head and has been having headaches for a really long time and recently they have gotten worse. I'm very scared for her, not only is she a close friend, but also I am in love with her. I care about her so much and I don't know what I would do without her. If she has brain tumors will she die? I can't stand the thought of losing her. She is one of the kindest and sweetest people I have ever met and I need to know that she will be okay! She is only a teenager and should have her whole life ahead of her. This scares me so much because my uncle was diagnosed with a brain tumor and now he is confined to a wheelchair and can't speak or use the bathroom by himself. My friend is so young and full life, it would absolutely kill me if I had to see her deteriorate like that. I need to know what I should do to help her. She is my friend and I'm in love with her... I need to know if she will be okay and if there's anything to do to help. I care about her so much and I don't understand why this had to happen to her.

I have a friend and i havent met him yet. I asked him for his skype and he said he already told me not to contact him anymore so why will i not stop. Then i asked him to block me and i blocked him. He blocked me too. Later i told him im blocking him off snapchat and blocked him there too. Now im going near his area and was wondering if i can ask him to meet me... Ive never met him and im wondering how i can ask him? He blocked me off whatsapp and made his twitter private

This happened about a week ago and I couldn t stop thinking about. My sis is Floria, Im Naomi, and her boyfriend is Chase. The beginning was cool we were talking laughing as a group and Chase would start to play/joke by tripping me. I could tell when he tripped me he wanted he to chase him so I did and my sis looked a little bothered but she didnt say anything. So after awhile, we ended up back together as a group. I was still trying to get him back but he grabbed and hugged me really tight so I couldnt move then he kept saying I love you. As he was holding me whispered to me "I wanna make her mad" and then he said loud "I love Naomi way more than Floria" and Floria heard and walked up angrily and he let me go. I also noticed most of the things I did he would laugh really hard at it. Also, he kept pushing her on the floor and hitting her to make everyone laugh but it didn't seem playful. He would say 'flirty' remarks like "You can stay in my house with me forever" or "if I run from you, then you have to be SPECIAL b/c no one scares me." I could tell Floria was kinda upset from her face expressions but she said nothing. I DONT LIKE HIM B/C HE DATES MY SIS AND I NEVER FLIRTED BACK WITH HIM. Please help! Whats going on? Does he like me or is he just playing?

I have a wide foot so I have read that xdjados are Best for me. And I cannot try it on on the store because I m buying it online since here in Miami there are not aggressive skates stores

So I had this friend (let's call them K) and we really got close. I really liked hanging out and we got pretty close. Our moms hung out too. We are in the same club and we met another person there (M). M, K, and I got to be pretty close friends. (Also I forgot to mention at this time I had just moved and K was my first real friend). So a little while after we got to be tight friends, K invited us and a couple other people over to a party. K and M 's parents got really close in the couple of hours we were there. Their friendship started growing, which I still see nothing wrong with. Since their parents got close, M and K did too. They hung out more and more, to the point where they never separated on the weekends. Slept over every weekend and everything. I felt really left out, which now I can see that it might have been a little jealousy. I never got the chance to hang out with K or M because they were always busy with each other. It just got to the point where they never really hung out with me or, really even wanted to... Right now they are at Disney together. I just really want to fix this relationship without breaking theirs up. I want us all to be friends. Please don't tell me, 'you need to stop being friends' because for now, I want to fix it. Thank you.

shes saying that im a slut and i dress inapropriate and that im too open to guys i have too many guy friends. and she tells her mom eveythingg shes a goody goody and her mom doesnt like me anymore

Last night my friends and I went to go see a movie. Afterwards, we hung out in the parking lot and talked for about 20 minutes, then went our separate ways. I just watched a Snapchat story and discovered that they all regrouped at one of their houses to hang out and spend the night. They even went so far as splitting up into multiple cars to "give each other rides home." I ve known these guys for years, and sure I don t really get invited to parties that much, but I thought I was included in all of the hang out sessions. Now I m questioning if they have done this to me before? And why do you think they invited me to the movie but then went out of their ways to keep me away from hanging out afterwards?

Being that they're Latino they are strict and hard to convince! They've even met my friends parents but are still convinced something bad will happen 😱 How do I convince them?? I'm a 25 year old boy btw

My friend is looking for a $1000 or less two bedroom house that is private in a secluded, wooded area that is close to a beach and about 30 mins from a city. Low crime is just as important as having many jobs. Really need someones help on this. He also has children and a wife so safe schools are important and also activities to do like a beach, fishing etc. Would mean a lot If I could get some help. Thank you
