So this year I have finally come out of my comfort zone and I started making a lot more friends. They make me so happy, but my previous friend, whom I still talk to all the time, got really upset at me. I asked her why, and she said it was because I started hanging out with other people and ignoring her. But the thing is, is that I still talked to her and she was the one being distant with me. I felt so unwanted that I stopped talking to her because my depression is coming back. 2 weeks ago I finally decided that I need to focus on my well being and trying to make me happy, rather than making others happy. And it has gone sooo well. But my previous friend won't talk to me, and she keeps making plans in front of me and she blatantly ignores me. She doesn't care, which makes me more unwanted and she has made my depression come back. My doctor wants me to take Lexapro but I am trying to be happy, but I can't tell my friend that she was the real cause of it. I don't know what to do. Part of me wants to talk to her, but at the same time she has made no move to actually be friends with me? This year I have never been happier, it's like she hates seeing me happy with other people. Help?

hi everyone. so i was really close with this one friend of mine we'd do everything together and i'd even stay at her house a lot as if it was my second home. at one point i started noticing i was distancing myself from everyone i felt myself falling into depression it became serious and i stayed away from everyone for 3 years. my life was pretty sucky i didn't do anything with my life. just a week ago i felt a change that old friend of mine hit me up, this wasn't the first time but it's the first she's actually got a hold of me, i ended up hanging out with her and started to rekindle our friendship. i stayed over and i also got to see her brothers and mom again, her oldest brother was always a jerk to me and i never said anything but he moved out so yay. but now her little brother is feeling a lot like him, he would comment on my life and how he's younger and doing way better than me and he'd make smart remarks about why i'm always coming over and why can't i find my own way home instead of my friend taking me. i'd just sit there and take the negativity. he's never been the nicest himself but it doesn't bother me like how it does now since i just went through a very dark spot in my life. he doesn't even have a serious issue with me i have mentioned this to my friend and she's even in the same room at the time this happens. but there's little she can do just the same as i can do since that's how he is. coming to a point where i don't even wanna go there anymore

Me and my friends would play games, and we have this one friend that's self-centered. I know this is really stupid to say and whatnot, but he'd panic when something happens to him and disregards everyone else however when someone doesn't help him in time, he blames it on everyone else. When he's blamed for not helping, he pushes the blame on someone else and says, "they didn't do anything though." I happen to be one of these people who they blamed it on. Every five minutes, he'd say something, "you're ******* useless!" or "you're autistic and retarded." I don't feel good about myself mentally and emotionally when they say that, and they persist on it, bringing me up saying stuff like, "even this is more useful than her."

I told a lie to this person at work to see what this person was going to say. She told me to not be negative but went back and told these people that I do not care for what I said. I am disappointed in myself because I knew she would do this but I just had to be sure. I want to confront her? Was it wrong for me to tell a lie, to catch a lie? should I confront her?

I've been called "dramatic" so often. People will openly say "stop being so dramatic." or "eh I don't wanna hang out with you becuase your too dramatic" etc. While I know being dramatic sometimes isn't a bad thing, I think it's getting in the way of me having friends. I looked up what being s dramatic person means becuase I never really thought about the possibility and I don't want to be a dramatic person. So then I look it up and it says it means I'm trying to get attention or I over react or something like that. I don't think I am??? Like this is just my personality?? I just wanna be me but apparently it's annoying everyone and I'm confused on what to do. Help?

Alright so a couple of days ago, me and my friend got into an argument because me and an old friend of mine had kissed. After that happened I had told my friend. And my friend told me I had cheated on him and started saying he hates me and things like that. (Heat of the moment of course) I told my sister what had happened because it had bothered me for a bit. Today however, he had come back and apologized and told me in his mind, that he thought we were dating and it was unnecessary for him to act that way. I mean yes, everyone makes mistakes and things happen. But my sister doesn't want me to be his friend because she finds him crazy and I understand why she would think that. My issue is though, I wanna be friends with him still and it wouldn't hurt to give another chance. I'm honestly scared to be his friend again because I'm afraid she'll judge me.. what should I do? What would you do if you were in my shoes?

I've always been a quiet person. I made decent amount of friends in school, but it had decreased once I was in middle school. I had trouble making friends in middle school. I only made like two friends throughout middle school. I lack social skills for 6 years. When I was in 6th grade, I only invited a few friends to my birthday party. I was only talkative with my friends/close friends. I didn't talk to my classmates that much. Therefore, I only have a few friends right now. Is anybody like this? I've lack social skills for my whole life I think. I made decent amount of friends in elementary school*

So I've been friends with one of my friends for a long time but he's started to be a jerk. He never wants to hangout and even when we text he tries to be annoying or not even text back. I thought he'd maybe mature thoughout high school and maybe not be such a jerk but he hasn't. I left our high school this year but I'm going back next year. I really don't want to be his friend but I feel like I have to because we've been friends for so long. Should I just try to keep our conversations at a minimum and stop texting him?

So, I like this girl ever since last summer and Im starting to think she might like me back. But, I'm only thirteen so the only option I have for a date is to go watch a movie. The thing is, there are no date movies because she already saw beauty and the beast and the only two movies are "Power Rangers" and "Kong: Skull Island" so I need help. If you guys have other reasonable date ideas then please let me know

So today I skipped class just to hang out with my friends and they were smoking weed. One of my friends took a snap chat and sent it to someone in my class. My teacher saw the snap my friend took because she took away the persons phone and called me from his phone. She didnt say anything about me smoking but my friend told me she saw the snap. I wasn't smoking but I need an excuse for why I couldn't have smoked weed because she wants me to go to her class tommorow during gym. I need an excused like "I can't even smoke because I get drug tested" or something better than that. P.s I'm also a very good student and I really don't even skip that much and I always get good grades.

So....my friend was dating this guy. I knew he wasn't supposed to be online dating, but I saw that he looked at my profile. (This wasn't weird because I had looked at his specifically upon her request earlier, and he was probably just looking back. He didn't message or anything.) I told her that he was online. She got upset at the fact that he did that, but didn't seem mad at me. She told me that she was gonna go quiet for a bit, and not to take it personally. Then, she blocked me from Insta and weeks later is still ignoring me. We were supposed to go to a concert together and now I needa sell the tickets even. Why did she disappear? I didn't think it was wrong to tell her. It's the truth AND she was suspecting something off.

There is this kid that sits next to me 3rd period and his name is jonah. He is a very annoying, immature, hypicritical, arrogant person i've ever met. He was cool at first until i met his true side, he's always calling me a f@get, he's always acting like he's better than me, he's always telling people that i'm g@y, he's always talking about roblox and guns both of which i give absolutely no sh!ts about but when i talk about my favorite games he laughs and calls me and the games i like "g@y". Metroid, kirby, and SMT are in no way g@y. And whenever i do tell him off, or win in an argument he get's mad and starts calling me names or acts like a 4 year old annoying kindergartener. One time in gym he even had the nerves to tell me i couldn't play soccer with my other friends (which they said was alright) and tried to push me and said; "get back in your cave". I'm sick and tired of this fat, annoying, arrogant, immature, d!ck. How do i get rid of him?

I just unfriended some people because a) we never interact and b) I don't really care to their posts, we have little in common and (again) I'm not interested in pursuing a friendship with them. Does that make me a bad person? They didn't call me back yet, but I'd simply reply back that I wanted to keep my friend list small or something.

I want so much see my internet friend, but my mom don t want to. She keeps saying "If he wants to see you, tell him to come to our town", but I want to go to his city (because everyone says that San Diego is amazing), in addition to that, he goes to College in the morning and in the afternoon, he takes care of your younger brother. What can I do?

We still have conversations but they aren't as interesting as they used to be. I get a little jealous when she shows friendship with other people because I feel like they are closer than she is with me. Its almost like she isn't as intrested in hanging with me than with other people. Also, I found out, me telling her about my problems was overwhelming for her. I don't want to end our friendship but I don't want to be left a bad friend or be left out of her life. What Do I do?

I've always been really shy and making friends has never been easy for me. This past year or so I've been trying to be more social and meet new people (which I did) but I'm having trouble feeling ok and comfortable around people. While I'm with my friends I feel mostly fine, but after I see them I start to worry that they really don't like me. For like days after I've seen someone I'm constantly feeling like I'm annoying and I'm convinced that they don't like me. I've had some kind of weird relationships (friendships) in the past, so I guess maybe I'm not very good at reading people. I find myself being unable to trust people or get closer to them. Anyway, sorry for all this, but if anyone has any advice for me I would appreciate it a lot!

Hey guys, I need some opinions. Me and my best friend used to be super close. A few months ago, he got a crazy girlfriend with attachment issues. We started to drift apart, dispite all my efforts to remain close. In the last month we've seen eachother twice, and he wants to hang out tomorrow. It's been quite an ordeal becoming almost strangers with my best friend. I don't know if I'm being over dramatic, but I don't think I want to keep going through that. Maybe it's easier to just end things?

Ok I have a friend and she sings beautiful and I love her voice but that's it. She can't play any kind of instrument and she can only sing. The point is she doesn't know how to communicate she was suppose to be our lead singer but she only sings cover songs and I give her music to practice and she'll say ok I'll get it done soon. And I'm the drummer and I play the piano and we have two other members. I'm the one who composes most of our music and I write all of our lyrics as well as make almost all of our logos. Like I feel like I'm the only one actually trying. I have made a group chat just for the members so we could communicate and we would all get the massages. Few days after the chat was made she left the group. I sent her some new lyrics I wrote and she didn't say anything about them as if she liked them or not. She's a nice girl and she's shy but her primary focus his her damn fiancé and I get it she's happy but she doesn't work she's home all day while he's at work the only thing she cooks is dinner because her boyfriend is also in collage and she just home doing nothing. She claims that singing is her passion and that her family didn't know she sang until now because she has a cousin who sings and she claims because of that she never got any attention for her "gift". Like it's bull music is my passion and I'm tired of no one communicating with me. Were a pop rock/punk/screamo group and doing a few Christian songs. Like what can I do how can I tell her in a nice way. that I don't like what she's going. I'm gonna put it this way she acts like those shy anime girls on those shows. I'm dead serious and it's how she dresses and she tries to talk like them. And I mean business I don't want to be garage forever. I told them I can book us gigs I have a few friends in other bands and I know venues. But I can't continue like this. I think I need her out or she needs to get her shiz together. Please help what should I do? Beatrice to answer you no I'm not jealous and I don't have a problem with the way she dresses at all. I am thankful with what god has given me and I mention her fiancé because she uses that as an excuse for everything. When being in a band there only job isn't just to come in and sing we all have to work together as a group I can't just show up and drum whatever right? NOO? And no she never practices her singing she never gets it done that's way im here. If she got it done fine no problem Beatrice to answer you no I'm not jealous and I don't have a problem with the way she dresses at all. I am thankful with what god has given me and I mention her fiancé because she uses that as an excuse for everything. When being in a band there only job isn't just to come in and sing we all have to work together as a group I can't just show up and drum whatever right? NOO? And no she never practices her singing she never gets it done that's way im here. If she got it done fine no problem I don't know what's wrong with your answer and seems you may have issues of your own. It's obvious you know nothing about forming a band. She just can't show up and sing it takes much more to make a song than you think. If you read my question correctly this has nothing to do with jealousy.. If you want to make it big you gotta go big. Not use other people in your life as an excuse for not doing it.

I don t know, he s just a pretty good friend and he s miserable. He keeps coughing and sneezing but he never misses a day of school (we re in 7th grade). Plus, I m like, the 13 year-old mom friend, so I need to help. Should I bring him like cough-drops or something? Thanks :)) Apparently I offended someone by saying "like" a lot and wanting to care for my friend. Sorry, I just want to be there. He really is miserable and he's snapping at people and I just want to help him feel better in some way.

There are these two kids in my last class of the day. At first we were friends, but then they started bullying me by teasing me and throwing stuff at me. I got tired of it so I moved my seat away from them. They kept throwing things at me until one day they stopped. After a couple months I stopped worrying about it. But the day before spring break they threw things at me again, and I don t wanna have to come back from break and deal with that harassment again. How do I stop them from throwing things at me without throwing something back or snitching on them?

Let's call the friend Lily. Okay so basically she is the most best friend in our small friendship circle. Let's call my other friend Sally. And another friend Shriya. Okay so Sally was planning to invite me lily and shriya over to go shopping. She was only allowed to invite two ppl. And she thought Lily was in Dubai (she goes every yr). So she only invited me and Shreya. On my story I put "having fun". Then lily asked "where r u." Turns out she wasn't going to Dubai for another four days. She got rlly upset with me about not saying anything and not even thinking of telling her and now I feel rlly rlly bad. I asked her if she is still upset with me on text and she didn't reply though she read the Msge. What to do?

My sister's birthday is coming up and I want to get her a good present, something she will remember. I can't find anything good on the internet. Do you know something that maybe you bought for your daughter/sister/friend?

When I get on instagram, most accounts have *** on them. And there is an abundance of these accounts. I can't tell if they are fake or not. The reason I think the pictures are fake is because they all are pretty and hot girls with perfect body, ***, titties, and everything. These accounts sometimes follow me for some reason. I only have 100 followers.

I want ni*ger friends to let me fit in.

so i've been friends with this girl for 5 years now. she is funny but a bit creepy. don't get me wrong, i really like her but i think she is too dramatic and loves being the center of attention. at first, i never had an intention to be her friend but she just stuck by me. i am usually at the top of my class, she doesn't like that and she admitted that she is jealous of me. she imitates every single thing i do. if i watch anime or read manga, she does the same. if i draw pretty good portraits, she would kill herself just to share the same talent. it is getting really annoying, and i already warned her that if she doesn't stop being childlish , i would literally leave her, but she never listened to me. in the past, she had problems with her mom and she felt pretty sad, so i tried to comfort her. but you know what, now that she got over her problems, she is acting all high and mighty all of a sudden. she tries to involve me in silly discussions. she even tries her best to come up with something i don't know just to show me that she is more knowledgeable. i will be honest, i hate people who try desperately to be special while, in reality, they are just ordinary. how do i deal with her? i am really tired of being her friend, it is exhausting. this is not a real friendship, right? for me, a friendship where you can't be yourself and where you have to watch out every single thing you say or do isn't friendship at all. what do you think? i really need your opinion.

I've recently started a new job and one of the other girls who is a year younger than me (I'm 26) will never speak to me or even look at me. She will talk to everyone else and in a room she will look around everyone but avoid looking at me. She was also buddied up with me to help me settle in and she never introduced me to anyone and whenever I have a question she'll just say "ummm I don't know" without looking at me and then walk away and leave me. She's been doing this for months now and I'm fed up with it. She also comes in the room and interrupts me when I'm talking to anyone else and tries to make the conversation about herself. It's like she hates I have come to work there and doesn't want the others to talk to me either. Can anyone give advice on what's going on?

I'm visiting my friend in Quebec Canada. He has a nice home up here. We're driving back to the house when was spotted a badly injured gray wolf. I know these animals are very territorial, and will kill his ***. He believes nursing him will gain his friendship. The wolf is on the garage being taking well care of. I'm scared out my ****** mind. I'm not going near it. Could he be right ? Or is he making a big mistake?

There is a dude I know I've been hanging out with for a year or 2. He wen't to a different high school with a some of my other friends and they were confused why I would hangout with him but I actually felt bad for him because he didn't have any friends and thought he was misunderstood because he is really awkward/weird but at the same time pretty chill once I got to know him. Lately though I've been realizing how much of a sack of **** he is. Always passively aggressively putting others down or will straight out insult people if he thinks he can get away with it but will try to cover it as "I was just joking" but can't take it back and gets very offended over the slightest criticism. For example. Last month when he got an "internet girlfriend" he made it a goal to put others down that he knew were single. This one dude told him internet girlfriends don't count and he spit in the dudes face. He ended up getting the **** kicked out of him and played the victim. The thing is he is proud of being in his words "a ball buster" and will brag about it when he does these things but will only apologize when he stops getting invited places or gets the **** kicked out of him. I On top of that he's a mooch that refuses to work and calls his mom a fat b*tch when she won't give him money at 23 years old. I work with 2 of his sisters and am friends with his cousin and from what they say his whole family can't stand him. it's like when he first meets someone he will test them to see if he can get away with putting them down in some way or another to get his fix

Okay, so my cousin is a Junior in high school and I am a freshman. So we only have two years apart. Well when ever I text her something she has a away of wording it that make me feel like what I just asked or what I just said is the dumbest thing ever. The thing is she acts like she is all high and mighty and stuff but when I actually talk to her in person it is the complete opposite. Like why does she do this? sometimes I feel like we are on the same level and friends and other times I don't need some help and guidance please and thank you

I've been a real jerk to my roommate, I call him string bean, mess with him, steal his food in the fridge and his drinks, but overall I was respectful minus some ball busting. My roommate is 6'8-6'9 and plays basketball religiously. He knows I've been bad mouthing him to my girlfriend and I always made sure they never talked. Well my girlfriend was looking for me and they started to talk, next thing no I know they are texting eachother and her phone is locked and my roommate locked his since he saw me reading a message on his crappy phone that didn't have a lock. Well some friends of mine saw them hanging out and she kissed him apparently, this friend caught it on camera. I confronted this roommate and he owned up to it and said he took her virginity and laughed about it since I believe in waiting and I thought she did too... he then started talking about what he did to her, well we got into a fight and the cops were called and I went home to my parents, I found out my roommate was out of town so I took his air Jordan shorts and other athletic gear and donated that to good will and sold his tv and Xbox one, I was feeling pretty good about myself after a long nights sleep and go to work thinking my roommate and I are even well he had me arrested for larceny and the judge drained my account of 2,000 and something dollars to cover the loss of his tv, Xbox and clothes. he also filed a restraining order on me since I tried to attack him. How do I tell my ex he is bad news?

Hi, I'm 15 and my mom told me a needed to make some friends so I did. The only issue is they live an hour away and the only time I get to see them is on Fridays during co-op. (I'm home-schooled) We've been trying to get together because co-ops almost over and we wanted to do something together. We tried planning to go bowling but my mom doesnt like to drive all the way over there just so I can see them. Any ideas on what to do?

Im a girl in highschool. I have my own little crew of friends, but the main people I hang out with are these two other girls, Ana, and Leslie. Ana is more laid back and less hyper, and Leslie is more spunky, hyper, and crazy. On the first days of school, everything was different (I know what youre thinking, ofcourse theyd be its the first days of school but just keep reading). Me and Leslie were very close, maybe even a little closer than I was with Ana, but we are still like the three musketeers. Then, Leslie started changing. She got crazier and more hyper, hitting me and pushing me for fun (not hard, just playing but still kinda disrespectful) and I always let it slide as I laughed with her, or sometimes telling her to "Staaaahhhp" playfully. As soon as Leslie started low key disrespecting me with calling me slow playfully, and insulting playfully, Ana starts to follow her and does the same thing, constantly rolling her eyes at me, calling me slow, but only when Leslie is around! When Leslie is not around, me and Ana laugh together, do work together, we are great friends. But as soon as they get together, its almost as if they used insulting me as a way for them to bond//get closer//agree on something. And, when they do call me slow (Slow is like calling someone dumb), I dont even act dumb. I ask genuine questions and as soon as I get them wrong, Im "slow." I dont know what else to write, hopefully someone will respond to me with questions so I could answer them instead.

I am 29 and trying to become a single mom by choice. I ve had 2 miscarriages and went thru a divorce last year. I m tired of finding the wrong guys that just waste my time and end in heartache. But my friend keeps trying to get me to not go thru with this. She says is not right that I ll be bringing a baby into this world that won t know their father. She is married and has a 1 year old baby boy, but I feel she is saying that because I m not married I don t have the same rights to a child as she does. I m financially stable and have been around children, i know it won t be easy, but is not easy even with a partner! I was talking too her about steps I m taking to prepare for this step and she told me she doesn t wanna hear about any of this. Do I just cut her out of my live? Help

I feel lonely around my friends. They don t value or try to contact. Im the one who always contect them. Sometimes i really feel disconnected. But without their company i would be harder . What should i do ???

I have a mom and sister they are both really annoying and don't talk about anything except say bad things about people. I think talking about people is really boring and I would rather stay away from that and talk about other things. They are such a pain in the ***! But I have no friends because I'm on break until September...because that's when I start college. I like hanging out with my sister together but she doesn't as much. I hate my family and my boring life!

So I was with one of my friends and he was walking with one of his friends. He was behind me and I switched sides with my friend and then he did the same thing. He switched sides with his friend. And I looked back and he was smiling and then he went a different way. What does this mean?

All my friends are on vacation, my parents are always at work, I watch movies but now it's getting pretty boring, I don't know who else to hang out with/what should I do?

*sorry for length* I overheard my roommate basically saying how she thinks I don't have any friends and that I'm weird because never leave the room. I in fact do but prefer to hang out outside my dorm and I happen to be out of the dorm when she's out. I also am quite introverted so I'm fine with having a few close friends that I hang out with once in a while. She has never voiced to me this problem before and I thought we mutually respected each other's space and could voice any issues in person. I don't want her to pity me or think I'm some loser but I'm not sure if I should talk to her about it considering the semester is almost over and I don't want to increase the tension. Please help!!

She always expects me to be there for her, yet she will not contact me in any way facebook, snapchat, text, phone, life... nothing. And I have put up with it unlike our other 2 close friends who have nothing to do with us now thanks to her. What should I do? She has 1 other friend and she goes around her, yet she doesn't let me meet her, and she gets mad if I talk to anyone which really makes me mad but I hide it. Idk how much longer I can hide my pain.

My friend has gotten in this really weird habit of hissing at me. Whenever I say or do something that upsets her, she scrunches up her face and goes "SSSSSSS" like some kind of freaky snake. I never know how to respond, so I awkwardly laugh it off, but it's getting really annoying. I want to tell her to stop, but at the same time I'm also afraid that might just make her mad and she'll hiss even more.

so i've been friends with this girl for 5 years now. she is funny but a bit creepy. don't get me wrong, i really like her but i think she is too dramatic and loves being the center of attention. at first, i never had an intention to be her friend but she just stuck by me. i am usually at the top of my class, she doesn't like that and she admitted that she is jealous of me. she imitates every single thing i do. if i watch anime or read manga, she does the same. if i draw pretty good portraits, she would kill herself just to share the same talent. it is getting really annoying, and i already warned her that if she doesn't stop being childlish , i would literally leave her, but she never listened to me. in the past, she had problems with her mom and she felt pretty sad, so i tried to comfort her. but you know what, now that she got over her problems, she is acting all high and mighty all of a sudden. she tries to involve me in silly discussions. she even tries her best to come up with something i don't know just to show me that she is more knowledgeable. i will be honest, i hate people who try desperately to be special while, in reality, they are just ordinary. how do i deal with her? i am really tired of being her friend, it is exhausting. this is not a real friendship, right? for me, a friendship where you can't be yourself and where you have to watch out every single thing you say or do isn't friendship at all. what do you think? i really need your opinion.

So he lives in a state where marijuana is legal. When he first returned there he would smoke weed literally every day...eventually he stopped completely, but now he drinks very frequently. Every time I FaceTime him which is a couple times a week 2-3 he is taking shots at home by himself....I think he has a real problem. It s clear he just replaced the weed with alcohol. I told him I was concerned

Doesn't that mean guy and man, why are girls calling each other dudes? Or is it just my class.

I've only had one best friend but then I changed schools and since then I can't EVER seem to find even one real friend. I usually hung out with two since I came to this new school, but one of them is such a ***** and always likes to do what she wants and nothing else, the other friend is obsessed with her and follows her EVERYWHERE it's so frustrating but eventually I'd find myself forced to tag along or I'd sit like a loser loner at the cafeteria. They also ditch me most of the time, but I really have no one else to go to.(I know, I know, just pathetic) Sometimes I hung out with other people but I also feel out of place most of the time, I had thought I found a friend I could finally call a 'real' one, but she proved me wrong by ditching me to hung out with another popular girl. I only have one more year until college and I'm afraid I won't be able to have real friends and make good memories with them, I'm afraid my memory of high school will be me being ditched by my so called 'friends' I read all those books and watch all those movies, they make it seem really easy to find friends but in reality it's the hardest thing ever. And to take notice, I'm not even shy. It's actually the exact opposite, I'm really friendly with everyone and like to smile and talk but I don't feel like I'm getting the same reaction out of anyone :( Why is this happening to me?

This is something that really, really bothers me and I find it actually quite disturbing. I've been friends with her for 3 years and in the past 5-6 months, she's really gotten into kpop. Since then, she's been really obsessed with korean culture and says some genuinely creepy things like "I really want an Asian boyfriend so we can have cute mixed babies," and "I want to marry a Korean guy so he can take me to Korea." I am from an Asian family and I'm 16. My brother is 19 and goes to the same school as us. Ever since my friend got into kpop, she's been really sucking up to my brother and it kind of... disturbs me? Not only is it painfully awkward but she's trying to befriend him for all the wrong reasons. My brother is really soft and caves in really easily because he's stupid and tries to make friends with everyone. I understand it's not my place to control who he makes friends with, but with this ONE girl, it makes me uncomfortable. I've told him that she's weird but I don't want to jeopardise our friendship, and even though my brother acknowledges her kpop obsession and stuff, he can't just push her away? Should I just let it be? Also, she's honestly a very nice girl. But that doesn't change much. Whenever she spots my brother with his friends across the school, she will literally run up to him. I know her intentions aren't good because once I joked "maybe he'll become a kpop star and get rich" and my friend was like "That's my plan," and even though she was just responding to my joke, I could tell she was half serious?

Every time I tell him I'm tired, he says, "don't worry. I'll pay for you." At first, I thought that illogical response was an indication that alcohol poisoning has affected his brain cells. But then I realized he's just using the Jedi mind trick on me: I say I'm tired, so he brainwashes me into thinking I don't want to go drinking for a different reason: I'm broke. Therefore, I think he's taking advantage of me by appointing me his escort for when he gets totally wasted. Keep in mind that we both live in the same buro, and therefore take the same train to get home. So I feel as if he's usIng me as a pawn so that he can get as wasted as he wants and not worry about muggers approaching him while he's unconscious, as I'll be sitting next to him. FYI - I never drink as much as him, so it's obvious he invites me for his benefit. It's getting very annoying, and I feel like a pushover. In his defense, he never disrespects me at work, we work well together, and he always treats me to drinks, which I guess is his way of saying thank you to me protectIng him on the train. Since I don't have to pay anything, do I still have a right to be mad. I need my sleep and don't want to be tired upon getting up for work.

I have this friend coming over tonight and we always have fun when it is a group but no one else could come! What should i do to make it not awkward? When we are alone together we dont know what to say.

So in our class we have like only 4-5 girls and all others are boyz and Its totally not normal to mix with boys in our country.the girls are really reluctant to befriend me and then blames me for having no friend!

I feel nervous around my boyfriends friends they're really nice guys they can be really funny I kind of like them but they make me uncomfortable whenever they're around me. Especially his oldest one who really has control over us he won't let us sleep together he said if we're not married not sleep together but we don't listen to him. I'm terrified of the dark I really need him at night. He acts like he's the boss of us he acts like he's his father he's not. Other than that I don't know why I feel so uncomfortable around them. What's wrong with me ?

My best friend came to me two days ago and told me she is ready to move out LIKE NOW. She has been having a problems with her mother and step dad being all in her business and she wants more privacy. Im 22 and she is 21 about to be 22. Her parents stopped giving her privacy manly because after she got herself a bf, he became her number one priority. She has done a complete 180 and they have noticed it. Her grades dropped and she now doesn't go to her teaching classes no more. She wants privacy/her own place because she wants a place were her and her boyfriend(24 age) can go to have sex and he can stay the night. They usually have sex at his parents house because they allow the door to be close, but at her parents house she cant close the door. A couple of weeks ago she called me crying saying that she get super emotional when she leaves his house and doesn't want to leave his side. I told her maybe they should think about moving out together. She told me no my parents would kill me and its too early in our relationship to live together (4 months). She ask me if I want to go look at some apartments with her and I think we found a place today I was so excited, but today she called me and was like hey what if my boyfriend comes and lives with us. I think she is using me so that its my name and her name are on the lease and not her boyfriend so that her parents cant find out they are living together. My mom said thats what she is doing. PS her bf is ready to move out.

We ve discussed in person / via text but he just said he cannot commit for some time. He is starting a new job and I guess wants to see how that goes before committing? I m just nervous he will end up saying no go.
