School started recently for me, and I was wondering why was is harder to start a conversation than it was last year? Can someone explain this? People been finding stuff to talk about and I can't seem to think anything on top of my mind except for "what did you do for summer" or "let me see your schedule". I just only ask questions and can't keep a conversation going. Even if I'm in one, I'm always the first to stay it and the other person doesn't help me out. It's really stressful to find stuff to talk about right on the spot. I'm starting to think the whole class hates me.

Currently in high school, and I was wondering why am I so picky with friends when I have almost no close friends? No one ever wants my attention for anything. It's just that I feel so picky to the point where if I would hangout with someone I didn't like I keep thinking it would give off a bad reputation. Honestly I feel like a terrible and immature person. I was wondering how I could change a mindset like this. It's like I'm thinking I rather be lonely then hangout with lame people?

There's a group of people that I greatly offended several years back. I want to make amends because I know I acted out of line. My mom told me "not to contact them", but to "let them come to me". Why is she saying that? Is that a good idea?

I have this friend Amy who is open to making new friends and I fully accept she likes meeting new people but there's only one problem can't shake off or forget about but I am not sure if it's necessary to label it as " A problem" or if I'm overreacting .. So tell me if I am or not overreacting. Every other weekend my friend Amy and I, would go out with our group of friends to places and I couldn't help but notice that my EX boyfriend been invited by one of our friends who is named Marcus is part of our group as well has been attending to hang outs ECT. I follow my ex on social media but never spoke as much only once in a while would have a short conversation through messaging anyway as I see him more and more making me little upset and angry that he attends and what not. I'm very surprised no one has thought about my feelings or put any consideration towards me then RECENTLY TODAY AMY HAD INVITED ME TO GO ON A ROADTRIP WITH OUR FRIENDS AND of course my EX after I said yes. I ASKED AMY WHY INVITE SCOTT AND SHE SAID BECAUSE HE IS COOL AND LIKES WHAT I LIKE AND ARE YOU OKAY WITH HIM COMING? NEXT I RESPONDED YES ITS OKAY (I LIED) FOR ONE REASON I LIED IS began to think if I were to tell my friend feel uncomfortable or something about him would make me look like bad person ruining everybody else's time as well don't want be the reason why everyone feels uncomfortable then stop hanging out . i don't know what to tell her or what to do…. i have never invited amy exes or anything so i find this a little unfair

Maybe popular isn't the right word, but have A LOT of friends.

She is a compulsive liar. I just moved to the same town as her, and I'm getting freaked out. The lies used to be harmless, but now it's starting fights. One example is when I couldn't hang out on her birthday. I got food poisoning and was forced to cancel. She ignored my texts. Today she texted me "thanks for wishing me a happy birthday", in her passive aggressive way as usual. I thought my efforts to buy her a gift was enough, but I apologized anyway. I jokingly reminded her that she didn't even wish me a happy birthday, nor gotten me a present. I was not offended by it, but I was fed up with her hypocrisy. She said "I called you that day, but guess who never answers the phone?" I showed her the proof of our call log, catching her in a lie. She tried again, "I HAD BAD SIGNAL THAT DAY" (When just before, she had said otherwise). I said "it's okay that you forgot about my birthday." She exploded and went into a tirade, guilt tripping me about flaking on her birthday. (Am I supposed to apologize for getting sick?) That's only the tip of the iceberg. My point is-- she's a really sweet person, but lately she's been flying off the handle over tiny things. It makes me sad because we were planning on living together. It's worse because we are cousins. What am I supposed to tell my aunt and uncle? That their daughter is a narcissistic compulsive liar? If I even try to call her a liar, she will turn the tables on me. Please help!!!

So I have these 2 friends that have been starting drama I guess. The first one, let's call her A, accused me of things I never did (I guess for attention or bc of jealousy) like she accused me of calling her stupid and she said some very dramatic stuff. And B (my other "best friend") even told me that she agreed that A is overreacting and that I never did those things she accused me of. And a lot of people including B have called her stupid and she was never offended by it. Like i get better grades than her and she was always jealous by it. Anyway A is starting drama w/ me about things i never said. I've always been nice to A but now idk she's telling me these things (on text). I haven't spoken to her in real life in a while and she refuses to talk to me especially since I did nothing and she is now looking for attention i guess out of jealousy. Anyway, B is taking A's side. Whenever I hang out with B, she turns everything into a competition, she tries bragging about her own life, and tries to turn my accomplishments into bad things and she's also always very hypocritical. She always is on her phone when I hang out with her and she even calls or texts A in front of me despite what me and A are going through. B also tries bragging about things like "i have so many texts" & "wow i have so many friends". How do i confront both of these ppl? what do i do about B especially?

I'm 17 and my cousin is 16 when we were younger and as we were growing up we were super close and always wanted to be around eachother! Recently she has been so disconnected every time I make plans to do something with her she will cancel last minute (which is super annoying) or say she's really busy and just go out and hang out with her school friends. It feels weird since growing up we were super close and now it's like she wants to get rid of me! I don't usually contact her anymore because she is making up excuses on why she can't do stuff with me but I feel kinda sad as to why all of a sudden she would drop me.

I work m-f and my girl works sat and sun so we haven't had a weekend together for a long time months actually and now its august, we'll she had plans to go to the cape with her BFF's scheduled for a long time Fri, Sat, Sun and monday and her boss okayed it way back when, but the weather was bad so they cancelled their trip refund and all! now I'm glad that maybe we'll have time together being that her trip cancelled, so what does she do! she calls her boss and tells her! and her boss says great now you can work all those days. I'm furious because first she didn't need the money secondly she could have had the weekend with me I feel unvalued because she knew I always wanted to have A weekend with her, and she didn't discuss it with me not the she has to, but give me the courtesy. again she didn't need the money its only PT and she saved by not going on the mini vacation yet on her BFF'S days off she goes to lake George all day boating. make a long story short there's tons of other things as we'll so the bottom line is I left her! and she doesn't get it ohh to late bye!!!!

So, my two best friends are dating. A few weeks ago, my friend and I had a "girls day" because her boyfriend was out of town. We saw a trailer for a movie we wanted to see together, and decided we were going to it. The movie is tomorrow, and they usually are nice enough to give me rides to places because I am not allowed to drive. However, they told me this afternoon that I would need my own ride there and back because they were going to be too busy. That I understand. I just don t like how I was planning to go with my friend, and now because she is planning to go with her boyfriend as well, they don t have time to care about me. It feels like they ve made it about themselves. Am I being selfish?

So, today i started a new highschool it was my first day .. (keep in mind i move A LOTTTT and never had a problem suiting in and making friends) anyways, today was my first day i got my classes the school is so so big like a college.. everyone was rude and wouldnt help or would laugh when i walk by .. I didnt eat lunch i skipped it and went in the restroom. Its so embrassaing for me because im always the outgoing funny / crazyy girl but no one even wanted to talk to me i started to tear up but i didnt , and just continued my day.. idk what to do, i have honestly made my self think that i am gonna be lonely alllll year

I work at a daycare and they have multiple sites for one company. Most of them are for infants to five years old then they have one for school age kids that range from 6-12. I got put there for a week because one of the teachers sprained her ankle. So of course I have to go cover. Almost every single kid there is mean. Only a few are respectful and do what is asked of them but the others talk back and have quite the disrespectful attitude. They really started being mean to me today when I was outside and they make little rude comments like "she is so stupid" or "she's always in the way" or "she sucks." Today I was paying with some of the nicer kids and we were playing monkey in the middle and one of the main kids that gives me issues threw a ball at the ball i was throwing to make it hit me in my face. It really hurt and when I said "Ow, That hurt" he got all mad and started being a jerk. When I took the older kids to lunch, the director said they should be good. I wasn't going to at first but of course someone had to bring up I might not be a group leader and that I should take them to lunch to. I was already mad because I just got done with the younger kids who were surprisingly more respectful. Its only me and the director there. So no one else helps and I don't need a EEC to be alone with them because they are older. The director said that they should be on their BEST behavior. When we got there it was the opposite. (first update) I ran out of room. Anyways, They were being so horrible and doing things they wouldn't be doing. When I called them out on it and said "I know for a fact you wouldn't do this to your actual teacher, I give you respect please give me some." They were even worse. On the playground they were playing kickball and of course being jerks. They kicked the ball out of the playground twice. The first time it was in the yard so it wasn't a big dean and I went to go get it. (second update) The second time they hit it into oncoming traffic. It was busy and because I wasn't gonna get crushed by cars I didn't bother to get it. One of the kids legit screamed at me it made the other 16 kids be quiet. He said something like "you're gonna be the reason someone is going to get killed if you don't go get that ball! Do you want someone to die and crash because of you? You're so lazy." Then all the other kids were going on and on about how much I suck. I've been working here for almost two years and I usually work with 3 year olds and they're even better than this. I feel like I suck and even though they're 11 I'm 19 and they just don't care about what I say and never take me serious. Plus they're actually bullies, and call kids fat and ugly and throw basketballs at peoples faces and say racial slurs. I just want to know is this parents not teaching kids the right way to act? Or is it just kids being kids? Can someone tell me something I can say without getting fired but also making them listen? I told the kid who yelled at me to not talk to me until he stops screaming at me. He eventually lowered his voice. I only have two more days (I PRAY to God even though I don't really ever) but before I leave I want them to know I'm not letting them mistreat me. HELP. I will never raise a bully and try my best to prevent any future children I have not to be horrible to other kids.

Alright so im a male and my bestfriend happens to be a female and i ve caught serious feelings for her...we hang out all the time..text all the time...both love each other as best friends...and when ever we hang out ..were all up on each other, hugging..i feel like i can spend my life with her and marry her...what do i do..

My roommate regularly drinks outside.. but why? I drink when I'm around company (whether it's a party, friends are just over, or going to an art gallery or museum or amusement park), because it makes me talk and engage more, and feel more excited about things. But what's the point of drinking in the backyard after work with no one else?

My peer and I had given cards to the prof. I always give cards to professors and had no issues. Few days later, he emailed asking if I could provide testimony whether he "opened the other student's card before our conversation". Why did he want my input? Why not just talk to the other student? Also, it was after our conversation...not before. Did he mixed up?

Me and my friend stopped talking around march what I think was because we both assumed we hated eachother, I want to know what should I say to this friend because my life hasn't been the same without this friend because it has affected my other friendships as well

I just moved to a new school. I have no friends at all and it's been a while. No one talks to me, but maybe only bad about me.

My friend is coming back from anxiety rehab in a few weeks. She's been gone for the past year and I miss and love her a lot. I really just need some tips on what I should say to her and how to act. Thank you!

Basically a teammate of mine attempted to get me kicked off of our team because she was jealous; she told my coach that I cheated to get a position in one of our biggest competitions, which I absolutely did not do and the entire team knew I didn't do. Our coach didn't care that she did this - he didn't discipline her or talk to her about it whatsoever. She later spread a rumor around the team once again that I cheated during a competition to make myself look better than her and another teammate, which also didn't happen. She's bullied underclassmen teammates who are new to the sport, telling them that they're awful and screaming at them constantly, and our coaches don't care at all. I honestly believe she has a god-complex and is doing this to make herself feel powerful. What can I do? I'm sick of seeing this person degrade and abuse my teammates constantly, as well as spread rumors about people she's jealous of in an attempt to hurt them. I've talked to my coaches multiple times about the situation but they don't do anything about it, our captains were elected because of popularity and don't care much about her either, and talking to her one on one has only resulted in her lying. Should I go to the director of athletics? The honor board? Is there nothing I can do but wait until I graduate?

"Which type of person is worse in your opinion? A person who is mean to everyone or a person who is selectively nice to certain types of people but rude, snobby and stuck up to the other types of people who they feel are beneath them? I personally think people in the second category are the worse of these two."

hi I have been friends with this person about a year now. She did some things I was not comfortable with, like talking about a mutual friend that I am very fond of. I let it go because she was stressed. I used to help her out and go with her when she wanted even though there were times she did not with me. I respect peoples choices. But recently she was quite controlling and offensive to me but in a nice way which gave me no options. She compromised me financially dragged me around with her to do errands not caring if I had anything to do. She wanted me to argue with a mutual neighbour she was not happy with and I said no. I let her cool off and myself too and she started contacting me sending me nice things she asked me over to her place she gave me the impression she was upset. When I got there I thought she would want to talk but she carried on as usual even got me to help her out with something. She made a remark about the neighbour saying we were friends even though I hardly know her. She qucikly said she was joking. But she has gone cold again. I talk to her and its like she does not want to. She is serious where she once was more upbeat and caring. I think about this and it seems so dramatic and it really makes no sense to me. Its little things she says and does. All of my other friends are not so complicated. I am having problems myself right now so maybe I am exaggerating but I feel so weighed down when I talk to her.

Here's the situation: me and my life-long best friend are members of a band of six people in our home town - I'm on drums (I can also play the piano), he's on lead guitar, she's on bass, there's another on guitar, and one last one on lead vocals (the rest of us also do vocals). The girl, Francine, was the one who actually put us together; one day she came up to both my friend and me and asked us to join her band. We agreed following a few terms: I wanted "[an] ample supply [of both]... "coffee [and] chocolate"; he wanted "[her] pussy". I honestly thought he was joking; she agreed, we played and help recruit others, we sound pretty good but - after a while - my best friend said Francine wanted me to take a back seat on things. I'm on drums, a fundamental of rock music. I agreed; eventually, our music turned out to be pure crap. I confronted them about this, however, after a while, they weren't talking to me, until today: where my friend said he was "in love with her" and "[he] wasn't my friend" and that I was out of the band. I have no idea why he would cut me out like this or side with this girl over me; can you help?

my best friend recently got a DM from a user by the name of "timepass8527" who want her to accept his follow request, i said no, and then he asked for her profile picture... Definite scam right?

My friend recently had a huge fight where she insulted me in every way possible, even though we both knew I was right. We talked it out and now everything's fine. But the thing is, I don't want everything to be fine. I really don't want to talk to her ever again, she's hurt me so much and I've found that part of why I'm sad all the time is because of her. My question is, how to I tell her I don't want to talk to her? I would just tell her I don't want to talk to her anymore, but she's that kind of person who will argue with every. little. thing. I. say. and she'll alos become really sad, and I don't want to do that to her, no matter how she's treated me. Advice on what to do would really be appreciated!! thanks! she's probably my closest friend I have at the moment, we've been friends for almost seven years.

My best friend who I met a few months ago recently got mad at me because I said we should go separate ways because I lied to her about something. It wasn't a serious lie but she didn't know I lied about it. I lie because of compulsions that I have that make me lie for no reason. She has always been there for me but now she's mad at me because I'm ending the friendship even tho she has been here for me when no one else was. I thought it through and It's been a few days and I realized that I need her in my life and I feel empty without her. She's ignoring me and I don't know what to do anymore. I only wanted to go separate ways because I wanted her to stay safe and I didn't want to hurt her. But she called me selfish and that I don't care about her. I don't know what to do

I have been good friends with this girl for a year now. We are close and she is in my friendship group. She's helped me get through a lot of pain from my past. However, there are times when she insults me too. Anyway, when I first met her, I was new to the group and she would say 'I'm so jealous' about my handwriting and my clothes, and whenever I wore a new jumper, she would touch it and say 'I'm jealous' Once I told her that I was meeting my sister for lunch and she said 'so jealous' There are moments when when she insults me in front of the group. The other day one of the girls in the group said 'you're the tallest one in the group and she shouted out 'your so lanky!' Sometimes she will touch my hair and tell me how long it is, and one time she was round for dinner, and I said I was thinking about getting a hair cut, and she said 'I'll do it' and she showed me how much she would cut off, and she drew off about 4 inches of hair. Another time, she called me a commoner, even though I live in an expensive neighbourhood and she doesn't. Whenever she comes round to my house, she says 'you're so lucky to live here, my neighbourhood has pot holes' Sometimes, if I make a mistake, she will say 'yeah, I can imagine you doing that' I always catch her staring at me too, especially in the group and when I catch her staring, she quickly looks away. What's with this behaviour?

My friend is 22 with severe learning difficulties and autism, her mum told me she has trimethylamine which makes her smell bad, I've never heard of it before but she also lives alone and doesn't have the capacity to understand when to have a shower or how to use the shower 🚿 but even after she been in the shower she still smells. She lives alone. But she smells very bad what can I do to deal with it?? I don't want to be rude to her and I do feel sorry for her and Linda of embarrassed for her is this normal ? I shouldn't stop spending time with her right??

I'm 30 and I've been seeing this guy since 2015 he lives in another state. We've only met up three times the last time I saw him was last month. And I'm planning to go back and see him again in February after I finish school. I still live at home with my parents and they don't like for me to travel. So if I go see him again I may not be able to come back home. Which is why I need to finish school before I go see him again. The longest we've gone without seeing each other is a year.

I have a friend whom I have recently met, and I think she is the absolute generous caring soul that I have ever met. She is 25 years old, and never even got to talk about some of the things that I have heard from her and about her tonight. She has been through hell and back and I mean it. I have never heard of anyone who has just been so brutalized and tormented. She is really strong but the hopelessness and the depression of being and feeling so alone,bis unshakeable. She deserves so much more and she doesn't even see it. Everyone who shouldn't have let her down, did, everyone who should've loved her and cared for her didnt. She literally has been so emotionally and mentally beat down, she truly believes she is a bad person. She believes all the lies someone put into her head and soul. Yet all I see is light. She doesn't believe any nice positive thing I say. I don't know what to say, that would maybe give her hope? I want her to feel happy to live, and I want to build her up. But how do I do that if she constantly breaks herself down. Today's world is ****** up. What everyone has done to her is ****** up. She is mentally ****** up. Imagine trying your absoute best, and everyone you've ever met has beaten you down.

im mad at one of my best friends. and shes mad at me were both bullheaded as hell. how do we solve this? we work together, so don't say something like find separate jobs to stay friends. we own our shifts together, and its fun as hell... usually.

I don't want any fights, tension, or enemies. You get the deal. So how can I avoid those things? I just wanna be happy and have fun and I don't wanna worry about enemies.

please don't say that its illegal because he is my private teacher (not at school) and only 3 years older than me we are both straight

Girl I knew from elementary sudddenly messaged me to hangout. I was not close with her, so I find this a bit strange. Like I haven t spoken to her ever since 6th grade. Should I say yes?

I had a friend on instagram but I deleted my account and now I want to get back to her but all I remember from her is her name and how she looks but I can't find her anywhere now and Im feeling very frustrated. first name only Please help

So I m currently in my last year of middle school and I have this one problem Many of the people there, including my friends, always say that I m a "tomboy", but whenever I do something that is supposedly "girly", such as oh I don t know COMBING MY HAIR, they say that I m going back to my girly girl days. I honestly don t like being called either and I don t know if that weird or not My friend thinks it is.... I just feel that a tomboy labled as a girl who doesn t take care of themself and a girly girl is someone who s obsessed with fashion And makeup And I m neither

Theres a girl that has always bullied me. My grandmother/uncle have always sided with them. Recently they all went on a trip behind my back & after they came back the mother of the girl that bullies me is talks to me on Instagram, we even spoke about meeting up at a feast. I went, long story short. I padded on the Mothers arm saying hi Donna, then we hugged, I made like I didn't see her daughter (the girl that bullies me) at all. the girl Karina, then Karina says "wait hello, who is that? Ashley that's you? Oh it's Ashleeey". I turned & she looked kinda in shocked with smiles & I nodded my head & said yeah then I said I gotta go, as I was walking there was awkward silence Donna the mother is like wait. Then I believe Donna is like to Karina you girls blah blah then something like it's her birthday for me. We wind up hugging, I hug Donna again & then Donna kept asking wheres ur uncle? I just kept saying he's down there somewhere, I gotta go to the restaurant. Donnas like u two girls don't have each other on Instagram & Karina is like no we don't we don't talk. I kept trying to leave so I kept hugging Donna & I believe I hug/side hug with Karina two more times & she's all smiles /giggles with wide arms every time we hug but in a phony matter. I was pretty much taller then her I kept looking down kinda at her. I had my hair nice & was dress really nice. I feel stupid. I wanted to show that whatever Karina does it doesn't bother me & make her upset that her mother really like me

I told my friends I made a little teaser trailer for a game I was making (a Fallout Mod specifically) and we all joke around and make fun of each other but they were making fun of it and putting me down and saying I don't know how to make anything and doubting I'm gonna get it done. That kinda ticked me off and is making me evaluate what's the use of having them as friends if they don't support my interests.

Why i am bullied and treated badly even though im a great student with very gud looks and have good sense of humor..while rest of the people have no single quality like mine are treated much better than me??its really a serious questions guys and is bothering me from many time.Why i am getting treated in this manner even though im great...and finally im not being egoist,im just telling my qualities to you...plz help guyz plzz😣😭😭😭😭😭 BTW IN 17 YRS OLD GUY IN 11TH GRADE..

I thought it was a good idea not to go into school random for a roommate. So I met a group of girls and did my research and found out that me and one of the girls had a a lot in common, so we agreed to be roommates together. Yes, everything was great in the beginging until she started to not answer my messages. (Mind you, I m not annoying. Probably messaged her once every couple weeks to you know, check if she s alright). I also wanted to have a friendship with my roommate or at least get to know her better. Weeks after getting our room assignments, she messaged me telling me that she might not go to the school anymore, said she was having problems with her family. I m glad she told me, but after asking her how everything was going she never replied to me. I know she saw my messages and that I was trying to reach out to her on more than one social media network. She has been active on them so I know there s no way she could have not seen them. I just think it s disrespectful and rude for her to add on extra stress to me before college. All I want to know is if I m going to have a roommate on move in day, since she did agree to split the responsibilities for the things in the dorm (tv, microwave, fridge, etc). Is it too much to call the school and ask she s going? If so, should I ask for a new roommate before school even starts? Or should I just see what happens?

He NEVER texted me this summer but he texted my other friend despite the fact that he always said he didnt like her. I always asked about hanging out. He has made literally no effort in our friendship. And he knows that my home life is hard right now. What should i do??

Okay so I still live with my mother and I'm 27. I help her financially since she can't work anymore due to health problems and all. She is on SSI. I've never moved out and my dad is out of the picture. He left us when I was 2. I'm super close to my mother and very attached to her. I of course have my own life to live in all and I have a boyfriend of a year. He thinks it's very nice that I help my mom and it isn't pathetic, but I should live my own life and can't live with mom forever. My best friend said, "Why don't you move in with us? You can't live with mommy forever. You'll get used to the change but you're almost 30. Your mom can take care if herself. You have a boyfriend NOW. So move our already!" Another one said, "You should have left the nest and cut the cord from your mother along time ago. It's time to grow up and move out. Plus you have a very good full-time job. You can still visit and help her out but yeah, move in with us! You have NO excuse to still live with her. It's not like you're disabled." I have a friend in college that is autistic and she still lives with her father, but very tight with money. Sometimes she has some meltdowns and isn't emotionally ready to be on her own and she is 28. My friends don't criticize her but why criticize me? @Anymomus: You don't have to be so rude. I have a really good paying full time job. I help my mom for financial reasons. Even she told me I gotta live my own life and I have a boyfriend of almost two years and my own life.

I have realized since Elementary till high school I have always been awkward and shy during the first few months of school. I am currently in high school and it bothers me a lot. I see everyone talking and hear them laughing. Every time I try to talk I always interrupt what someone else was saying. I have good conversation starters but I cant keep them going. Plus the people in my class already have a friend group of their own so it s harder to be close to them. Can someone help me? I was pretty popular last year and had a lot of friends. Even though they are not in my class anymore I really don t mind. I just feel like I m not as talkative as before and therefore is harder for me to be close to people. When someone asks me a question it s usually about the schoolwork and nothing else. All I m trying to ask is how can I become more talkative again and find more things to talk about?

I work at Jcpenny s. I have lots of coupons that expire thid weekend and I work this weekend so I know I won t be able to shop this weekend. I have a coworker who was my best friend until this past weekend, when she stood me up by telling me to meet her for dinner so I went and waited for her and she didn t show so I called her and she said she won t make it. It pissed me because I was waiting for her and she didn t even tell me she wasn t coming. So since then we haven t talked much. She wanted me to go with her to get her signed up for college classes sometime this week. I thought of asking her if she wants to go tomorrow just so she can also shop with me and I can do her college registration but yet I don t wanna help her because of the way she treated me. So instead I m thinking of going shopping with my sister but idk. What should I do? Should I forgive my friend and go with her or forget her and go with my sister?

When I mean "let go", I don't mean kicking that person out of your life. I mean, spending more time meeting new people instead of always hanging with that one person. I'm starting highschool. I have this one bf who I've known for 3 years in middle school. I wouldn't consider her a BEST BEST friend, like a friend who's always absolutely there for you but she is a friend who makes me laugh and spends time with me. Although she did abandon me for a while with a new best buddy at one point...She is shy at first, especially when meeting new ppl but she can be really social in a circle of friends she knows. On the 1st day, I'm hoping to talk to a bunch of ppl and sit with new ppl at lunch to build a circle of friends. In middle school, my social life wasn't too great. I had only 1 friend and that is her. I did have others, but they weren't close. At times, I got pretty lonely. I am hoping to get a lot of friends so I don't go through with that lonliness I felt in middle school. So let's say I meet some nice ppl to sit with at lunch and my bf wants me to sit with her. Should I go to her, or bring her with me to the new ppl. However, she might feel left out. I've learned that with a circle of friends, its hard to keep the attention on 1 person. She isn't the type to really get along with ppl at first sight. Shes mostly shy and I would mostly be talking with the new ppl to get to know them better. I just dont want to be lonely with only 1 person at my side everyday.

Ok so I'm going into 8th grade this year and I have a lot of friends that don't go to my school but these are the main people I like to hang out with. I use to always hang out with the popular kids and I'd always get invited to places but now I never do. And when I ask them if they can hang out they say they already have plans or "maybe" and never respond. I don't know what I did so wrong!!! Please help me any tips????

When i go out with my friends, there are countless times i wish they d stop talking, or just not be there. Even at the movies, today i went to see a movie alone, it was so much fun, and i was all by myself. i have difficulty with finding people i like, i don t have difficulty finding friends though, i get invited out a lot, i think i can be a little too picky at times, but it s hard not to, because i feel like I m just very different from the average person, and i don t want to be like that, i want to feel warm when i m around friends, and happy. Not annoyed counting down the moment the interaction will end.

My best friend who I met a few months ago recently got mad at me because I said we should go separate ways because I lied to her about something. It wasn't a serious lie but she didn't know I lied about it. I lie because of compulsions that I have that make me lie for no reason. She has always been there for me but now she's mad at me because I'm ending the friendship even tho she has been here for me when no one else was. I thought it through and It's been a few days and I realized that I need her in my life and I feel empty without her. She's ignoring me and I don't know what to do anymore. I only wanted to go separate ways because I wanted her to stay safe and I didn't want to hurt her. But she called me selfish and that I don't care about her. I don't know what to do

I known his guy for a year. We been best friends for a year. I lost my virginity to him the day before my birthday last year. We been on & off friends cause every time we're together physically he always flirting & come on to me when I'm around him & I'll get mad & stop talking to him. Now it's just sex since I lost my virginity to him. (We only had sex 3xs) I told him I like him. He ignored it. Then I told him my feelings two days ago & made sure he paid attention to it. & I want to date him. But the fact I feel like he come around for sex & not for me. I told him I want to date him. He said he's not ready b/c he flirts a lot & he won't act right but the fact that he'll met a girl for a day & dates them. & I ask him why he treats me differently from other girls like we do relationship stuff & everything that a couple does. He said b/c we click & closer. So how is he not ready for a relationship with me. I love his personality, attitude, & I love how respectful he is. He's perfect to me. But I want him to be around for me not sex. I'm 18 gonna be 19 & he's 19. Am I forcing him to get in a relationship w/ me? Is it me? Is it him? Like what does girls he just met get a chance but I have to wait & go w/"the flow". I been here longer. I been a good friend. I never did anything to hurt him. I always been a loyal friend. It's like I always get the short end of the stick with every guy I like and give my all too. Like is he using me just for sex & made up that excuse to not date me.

My best friend s grandmother passed away in April, and her birthday is in August. I was thinking about getting a card or flowers of some sort to give my best friend? I want to get him something because he was very close to his grandmother, and I don t want to pretend or act like it s not her birthday. Maybe not flowers because my best friend is a guy, not a girl. Any ideas will be appreciated.

I need help making friends(not because i m socially inept, surprisingly). I m taking classes above my grade level that have only older kids and nerds, which i share nothing in common with. I m pretty athletic and play soccer but whenever i go to lunch, the only freshmen that i sit with don t know who i am and if i tell them that i m taking classes over them they will think i m a nerd.also, the freshman have a seperate lunch period so sitting with my upper classmen friends isn t an option. any suggestions?
