Would this be dumb? At a college get together I met a guy and got very close with him, were good friends now and have talked almost every day. We mess around and pick on each other a lot, he's fun! We have developed our own little "insiders" like one being, gold fish! It's always our favorite snack and we always let each other know when we are eating or buying it (I know silly). He's really cool, he bought my schlitterbahn tickets when we went as a group, the day we left home after the vacation he gave me his giant box of goldfish when we said goodbye. It was sweet! Well he's moving to a new house and starts college soon, I wanted to send him a big box of goldfish as a tiny gift from me. Just as a fun good luck/thanks for being a good friend gift. One of those fun little insider gifts. I would have to figure out how to ask for his address but aside from that, Is that idea lame?

I'm 17 turning 18 in August. I've spent from the age of 13 until now months in the house only going on a few time ever couple of months, I get a littld lucky if I get busy for sometime but it rarely happens, I have no friends I only have one friend that I see twice or three times in the summer, I never had a boyfriend or kissed a guy, I spent my early teen years helping my mom out with my youngest sister it was only me helping and I'm always scared now she'll have another kid even though she says no but at times makes me question. I have very very anxiety and at times I work on myself to get better and I do but then I fall and I'm just beyond depressed because it's like I only have two more years of being a teen and I haven't done anything to have any moments to look back on if simple stuff. I have like I only have two years left and it's making me beyond sad because I miss out on being a kid kinda and a preteen to a teen, I see people from 12 to 13/14 or even my age 17 being a kid outside having fun kinda being careless in someway and I never had that and probably never will because now it's like I have to grow up and it's like I always felt a like adult but now that I really will be is just making me sad, I just wanna be 16 and feel like a teen/young kid having fun and just being normal

For example asking a guy to spend time with you!

I am just so tired of my friend. We have to carpool every where and I can never get away from him. My parents always make me carpool with this person , and I am so fed up with him. How can I just get away from him, and be done? He never shuts up and stops bragging.

Like a teacher who forces you to not call them by their first name and calls you rude if you don't call them Doctor. ROASTTT THEMM

I work at this camp with a couple people I know, and these older guys work there as well. I want to hang out with them because they're cool, and the people I already know agree, but I don't really know how to. I don't like them romantically - I just want to hang out with these cool guys that I work with, and hopefully, we can become friends. Sorry, I meant hang out - not work out

Do you think I'm being irrational? I met this guy online in 2014 and I've been going to see him since then. Currently he is somewhat homeless. But we live in two different states. I'm 30 years old and I still live at home with my parents. And they don't like me travelling alone. I've been sneaking off to see him since then my parents know I've been going to see a guy. But they don't know who be is. He and I are not in a long distance relationship. My parents found out I went to see him recently and they told me that if I go off to see him again not to come back. I'm thinking about just moving moving out somewhere closer to him.

Context: 21 year old man with friends from 18-26 in my apartment. 6-16 people. Everyone's allowed to drink. It's usually invite everyone over, beer pong & baseball, Ring of Fire/Waterfall, Cards against humanity. Music, Shots, drinks, sometimes weed. I'm looking for some better activities, a good way to make the night more memorable. Here's the catch: this particular friend group is a collective of semi-thugs and hoes. So they wouldn't be up for "write a celebrity on paper and stick it to someone's forehead and have them ask questions to figure out who it is". These aren't the type of people to break your foot for stepping on their toe, but they don't take kindly to insults or questionably homo-erotic behavior; ya know, people with ego problems who aren't full-blown maniacs. Their all good friends of mine, but I'm kinda tired of doing to same things with this particular group. On a side note, no need for "these ppl are low lifes" or "unsafe" or "be carefull". I don't expect becoming more productive around them, their just fun to hang out with.

I met this guy in late April, and we've been friends since. He was the first real friend I've ever had, I was homeschooled and my mother is overprotective. So I thought things were going good with him and I, and I really liked this guy too, but he wasn't ready for a relationship. He told me not to get attached to him in that way, and I told him I wouldn't but I lied. And in mid June, we had an argument and he told me we couldn't hang out for a couple of weeks, we needed a break from seeing each other. So after those two weeks passed, we were gonna hang out, but then he told me the day after we were supposed to hang out that he needed more time to forgive me for lying about being attached. And I asked why it was so hard to forgive me. And he blocked my number and blocked me on Snapchat. But he didn't block me on Facebook. Anyway, we have a mutual friend, and he started talking to my friend and asked what was going on with him and I. My friend told me how I've lied to him, been selfish, and treated him horribly. And our mutual friend told me that, and it wasn't until then that I realized how shitty I'd been when I thought it was all fine. And I know my friend cares about me because otherwise he wouldn't want to forgive me. But I've apologized to him so many times and he won't talk to me about it. And I don't know what to do because I feel horrible for being so insensitive towards him when he has done so much for me when nobody else has. I don't want to lose him as a friend. I don't want to be in a relationship with him, I just want to be friends with him. I want to make things right with him so him and I can continue our friendship.

My friendhave been friends for 8+ years and usually we hangout every other day but it has always seemed that he uses me for food and a car since he doesn't have his license. When he gets money he never offers to buy me food or even when he offers to give gas money he usually doesn't. I am starting to feel used should I drop him as a friend or am I overthinking it.

It seems that every part of life is marketed around groups of friends. Fun things, games, parties so on and so forth. I can t go out and find my own friends because 1. It scares me to no end and 2. There s practically no opportunities to go out and meet people. Why are there no specific groups or events set up for people looking for friends? Are there websites for this? Like dating websites but for local friends?

I was sick of being bullied all throughout middle school so when I joined high school I decided to do something about it. There was a new boy in our neighborhood that had autism, he was homeschooled because his parents knew if he attended public school he would get bullied incessantly. He was the perfect bullied victim, I came up with a plan, I craftily formed a fake friendship with him & convinced his mom to cancel his homeschooling. As he entered school, he indirectly shifted the target off of my back and plastered it onto himself. His parents cannot afford to get him back to the homeschooling program he was in, Thus he is forced to live a miserable high school life, and I am now spared from the abuse. I bragged to my mom about how easily manipulative I was and she called me a "dirty coward" for what I did and told me to defend that kid the first thing the next day or I would get grounded. I didn't do it, but I escaped punishment through a stroke of pure luck due to that boy telling my mom that I defended him, in hopes that I would be his friend again. However, I did not become friends with him and said it was nothing personal, but if I was I would get bullied too. Everything ended so peacefully for me. It has been four years since high school and I am in college, doing well. I googled the autistic boy and discovered he became a loser in life. He is now a criminal and he blames it all on the bullies. I am starting to feel a little bad about what I did, was it wrong?

We were hanging out drinking when our friend Carly began getting tipsy. She soon passed out. Turned out one of my friends had slipped something into her drink and got the idea to strip Carly and take pictures of her. Being guys he figured we'd be on board with the idea. To my horror my friends were happy to participate and eagerly pulled out their phones. What was happening didn't sit well with me and things might have gone further than pictures. Before they could remove her clothing and much to their anger I drove Carly home to sober up. Basically the rest of my friends hate my guts now because I ruined their idea of fun. Now they bully me, call me gay, they even beat the crap out of me that night. Thinking back they might not have molested Carly, but why would anyone do that to a friend? Especially a female friend. I could never bring myself to do that. Or was I just being too concerned? As a side note Carly found out and obviously isn't their friend anymore, except with me. We're closer friends after what occurred. Although nowadays she refuses to leave my side. For some reasons she really enjoys being in my company, plus she gets worried for my own safety. What is she so worried that she doesn't want to leave me?

My bf and I made eye contact for a long time before I asked his friend for his number. We were in each other's lunches. His friend would come close to me but never told me "my friend wants your number." I had to ask his friend. I was too scared to ask my bf. Why didn't his friend ask me

My friends and I are going horse back riding and one of the girls mom's said she wanted to come. The girl seems fine with her mom wanting to come but the rest of us are not. Another issue with this is their is a weight limit and I'm not sure she's under it... bringing it up may be hard if she were to come. Please help!

and didn't include me. i questioned her about it. we haven't been the same since and it sucks. we haven't been talking and she's basically left me. but we have this connection that it just feels we need to be together. i asked her and she feels the same way. i don't feel like trying because she left me over a petty fight. but it seems like everyone and everything is trying to make us come together. any advice?

well call my bestfriend Kya and the girl Abby. Kya and I have been bestfriends since 3rd grade, and she literally just met Abby lastyear. Abby and I are bestfriends too, but Abby and Kya are like OBSESSED with eachother it seems like. As i think about it, besides them i really don't have that bestfriend. Abby has so many other friends just leave Kya alone. NOW if that isn't enough THEYRE going to Florida together for 2 weeks and they're obsessed with posting pictures and i kinda just wanna block both of them because it drives me insane. She's like taking Kya and it's so annoying i'm sick of it i'm sick of being the third wheel trying to just fit in. Help?!

So my Birthday is in November and I don t kniw what I can do. My family dont really have any close family friends and our relatives are in the Philippines. I like to do something memorable but were on a tight budget since my brother will be off to college soon. I would go out to a restaurant with my friends but is an extremely picky eater and one is a vegatarian. My mum doesn t want me to have a party so I m out of options. Any suggestions

My "friend" is mad that we couldn t hangout this weekend because I had plans with a different friend (she s a closer friend). She says I should cancel my plans with the other girl and say no to her face just so I can hangout with her. So I told her I m not gonna do that and now she won t answer any of my texts. What do I do? Should I try sending another text and if so what do I put?

In 3 days I will be turning 27. Not a big birthday I know, but in my 27 years of life, I have never celebrated or had someone want to celebrate my birthday with me. My brother and I share the same birthday, he will be turning 32 though. His girlfriend had got me all excited, saying we should go out for drinks in Galway to celebrate and now 3 days to go and she and my brother have cancelled on me. I'm really hurt and mad, even though I know I shouldn't be. It's his birthday too but I didn't want to celebrate in the first place and she got me all excited and now I'll just end up sitting in alone again, watching box sets and gaming, kind of irked that I spent €60 on a dress for the occasion too. It's like this every year. I don't have any friends, just acquaintances and I am currently single for pretty much the first time since I was 17 and I moved home to my dad's in December to save money because I am in the process of setting up my own online business. So I work from home, live in the middle of nowhere, have no friends and feel like having a little pity party to myself . As far as I know everyone I meet likes me, I get on great with everyone, but the friendships always seem to just tater off. I love to have fun, go out, have a few drinks, I am big into fitness and I also really take care of myself. As self absorbed as it sounds (please don't judge), I have no trouble finding boyfriends, but I want friends. Just feeling a bit low atm, any advice would be great :)

So it is summer, the worst time to have no friends. Im 17, and i really want to meet people but its very hard if you dont have existing group of friends. Im also afraid that even if i meet someone they will find out i have no friends. It just feels weird and embarassing going places alone. Pls help

I m a girl in the 8th grade and I have two different social groups. One of girls and one of guys. I hang out with the guys during breaks and lunches and I have a ton of classes worth my girl friends and they understand me so they don t mind. But all my girl friends are going to a different high school than me and the rest f my guy friends. Therefore I ll have to make new girl friends so I can have that girl to girl bond still. But also going to my high school is an old friend of mine with his friends. They are both equally caring to me so I can t just pick and choose. I want these groups to combine but I m not sure of how. Because I want to hang out with them both and for all of them to be friends with each other. But that s still a year from now. In the meantime I have my guy friends and girl friends. On the graduation trips I want to hang out with the girls so I can have my last fun times with them. But I ll also feel akward leaving the guys as I always hang out with them. I don t know if I can combine that group or not, but if I do both groups will feel amward as I m going back and fourth and talking to one another because they don t know eachother that well. It is a super confusing situation but I need some answers.

Okay so I have Aspergers and I'm almost 28. I live with my dad and cousin. I do most things on my own. I let my dad know where I'll be at but I don't ask if I can go hang with my friends because I'm grown. I get teased a lot for living with my parents. My mom is out of the picture. She abandoned us when I was 2. My dad forbade me for going to this one girls house because of some issuers and her taking advantage of me. My friend was like, "That's dumb. You're a grown woman so your dad can't forbid you from nothing. You can't keep avoiding this girl forever. You gotta make up with her and you don't need daddy's permission. Then when my dads girlfriend asks what I wanted to do for my bday. She teased and said, "You wanna go to the club?" Then she was like, "Don't be looking at your dad! Girl you is grown. You don't need your dad's person. Lol. I wasn't looking at him. But I did a little. I don't drink much which everyone respects that. One of my uncles teased me asking if I wanted a drink and I was like, "No I'm good" my dad said, "What are you looking at me for? You're a grown as woman." Then my uncle said, "You're grown come on now." I knew they were kidding. Everyone criticizes me for depeding on my dad. My friend invited me to her birthday party next Saturday but I found out thay my ex friend would be there so I don't know if I wanna go now. I told my dad about it and he says, "Look it's up to you if you wanna go. You can't let that stop you from going because you're going to miss out. You're going to be around people you dislike. YOU make the choice not me so stop depending on me! Figure it out on your OWN!" My dad won't help me anymore. My best friend said, "You know one of these days you're going to be having your own place. Plus your dad will be one one day and who are you going to depend on. All you do is ask dad dad dad for permission! 'Daddy can I do this?' Daddy can I do that?' Please you're almost 30! Look you're my best friend and I love you to death but you're acting a BIG FAT PATHETIC BABY!" I was shocked when she said that. I called her out that I'm not a big fat baby. She told me, "Well then PROVE IT!" Was my best friend being too harsh with me. It was rude of her to say that in my face. My other friends called me a useless pathetic baby because I depend on my dad. I love my daddy and I'm attached to him. I don't wanna leave home yet. I have autism so go easy on me please. 😭😕 I got to school part time and I start my new job in a couple of weeks.
