I think my crush hates me. He gets mad at me easily and gives me death glares. He sometimes says really hurtful things to me. But i catch him staring at me a lot and sometimes I get a little flirty and googly eyed around him and he reciprocates positively. one time he came to talk to me and I looked in his eyes and smiled and he looked like he was in a trance and smiling back at me for a few seconds before he said what he had to say to me. I see him talk to other girls and he's really nice and friendly with them. Why not me? I once thought he liked this one girl because he was talking to her a lot, but then she tried to make a move on him and he denied her....

I don't like where I'm at in life right now. Although there are some positives I keep focusing on the negative. I have a good job but that's about all I have going for me now. I keep getting frustrated. I'm 23. My life is boring. I want more. I didn't go away to College so I didn't get any of the College experience. I don't have any college friends. I have one good friend who is the only person I hang out with who lives in a house with her boufriend and I can't help but compare myself to her. She's been my best friend since first grade but if I didn't throw my life away after high school maybe I would be where she is. I work for a good company but I have to drive an hour to and from work everyday. I still live at my parents house. I've lived in my rinky dink town my whole life and I just want more. I spend my weekends third wheeling my friend and her boyfriend and never get the chance to meet anyone new or that I don't already know. I work for a good company but the only way I honestly think it's worth it is if I move up more. Which currently I can't do because I'm finishing school. I want my own place. I want to meet new people and have fun with new people because I've missed out on it for so long. I want to go somewhere I've never been and escape from this reality for a little while or forever. I don't want to stay in this small town my whole life I just feel stuck. I don't know what else to do or what the next step should be. Can someone please give some advice?

I'm really shy and saying hi to someone first can be really hard for me to do. I walked into a room with 4 people in it and I just said hi under my breath because no one said hi to me. Then my one guy friend screamed at me for being so quiet and for not sounding excited. I thought he was joking, but then he whipped his head around and gave me a really serious and angry look. Everyone else in the room remained silent when he did that. We aren't that close. He's more of an aquiantence. So why did he get so mad? Maybe it was because we haven't seen each other in a few months? I personally don't care when someone doesn't say hi to me unless they are my best friends or my family.

Not trying to be a wimp, but I've hit rock bottom I'm sure. I'm 24, and as I've grown up instead of evolving, I've been devolving. I got less social, stopped caring about things etc. I became really negative to you know. I missed out on life experiences, you know hs, prom. Once I got to college, instead of starting fresh, I got worse. Didn't get good grades, was very antisocial. Like people my freshman year would invite me to stuff, but I'd always blow them off. I did have a little fun my last year/ two but it wasn't the same you know. A few months into my first job I got fired. Was in a really negative mind from the job loss set and even got into a fight with some of the few college friends I managed to make. I never really liked my major, and so I decided to go back to school. It's not the same you know? I felt like I've hit rock bottom.I'm overweight, friendless, etc. But instead of being negative I've decided to just start a complete fresh life and be positive. Basically, my question is, is do you have any advice?

Am more on the timid side, who always tries to get along with everyone. Does that make me too nice? also I mean I've never gotten into a physical fight with anyone. I have gotten into disagreements, and such, just I've never tried to beat someone up.

My friend told me I made stuff up inside my head it cannot be true, my crush is "gay," (my crush and I almost kissed, he pointed to his heart toward me, he put his hands on my lower back and pulled me closer to him, we talked about just sleeping together) she also told me I made excuses to protect him. She really hurt my feelings and made me cry, she knows she hurt my feelings and made me cry but she did not care. She didn't say anything However, she told me maybe he isn't gay... she told me I made stuff up inside my head for a different reason knowing it hurt my feelings and made me cry the first time. That doesn't show me she has respect toward my feelings.....do you agree?

Ok, so me and my bff volunteer at horse stables, my friend comes in on a Friday and me and her come on a Saturday, one day she was off and my boss and coleuges started saying negative things about my friend, like the fact that she doesn't talk much, and my boss said she's a weird girl, and I know it's nothing offensive but I feel like I should off stepped in and said something, cause my friend is really nice and I don't see her as a bad person.

I had these two friends last semester and we would always spend time with each other. We would do homework together, have dinner together, go shopping and go out to eat. Now, I have only seen them once since the semester started (almost a month ago) and we've barely talked. They sometimes hangout with each other, but never ask me to join anymore. If I snap them, 9/10 times they open it and don't respond. I asked one of them if we are still friends and he opened it and did not respond. I am transferring next semester and have not told them yet. Should I tell them even though they're acting like this and what should I do in regards to this "friendship"?

So I'm not gonna lie, I have a guy bestfriend BUT he is kind of a jerk. He teases me a lot and makes fun etc. now all of a sudden he's being really nice and complimenting me on stuff he'd usually make fun of? Why?

This friend I have is going to the same college as me. Of course I am happy for him but part of the reason I went an out of state school was to meet people and get away from high school. I don t know if he is gonna want to be roommates with me but I just want to room with new people. I really don t wanna come off as mean but how do I approach this problem?

This is a very long story so I'll try to summerize it. Basically, my only two friends in school decided they didn't want to be my friend anymore because I never want to hang out with them and they think I'm just using them. I have very strict parents who never let me, I'm struggling with anorexia, anxiety and depression and I always feel like I was getting in the way of their closer friendship with each other. I almost never ask them if they wanted to hang out because of these reasons. We've had a few arguments about this and they always hurt my feelings by telling me everything that's wrong with me. I've always been the one who apologize because I couldn't tell them. They wouldn't understand and they'd use it against me. Now they decided to end things for real, even though I've been forcing myself to hang out with them quite a lot lately, despite my problems. They didn't tell me, they just blocked me on all social media and ignored me. They're popular at school, so when people ask why we don't hang out anymore, they tell them I'm a snake and make me sound like a horrible person. Tbh, our friendship was very toxic but I'm too scared to go to school now because I have no one to be with and everyone hates me. My depression and GAD isn't making it any easier for me either. Group projects and sitting alone at lunch is too much for me to handle. I'll change school after this semester (5 months left) but idk if I'll be able to live being hated and alone everyday for 5 whole months.

We have been friends for one year. He tried to hit on me the first few times but he stopped it when he realized I'm married and that I'm not the type to cheat on my husband. We grew to become very close friends, I know that he cares for me a lot, like no one else does. My husband (who is abusive) has left the house for one year now. For almost one year now, My friend calls me every night and we talk about everything and nothing; but I don't understand why he calls this regularly!! It's almost like he "checks-in" every night, I feel that even best friends dont talk so often!! He asks about my day and tells me about his, opens his heart to me if he is upset about sthg. Sometimes if he is angry, he shuts down on all our mutual friends but not me. I almost never initiate contact, but he does all the time. He doesn't call any other girl, i know it because he is with me on the phone every single night, even though girls are begging for his attention as he is almost every girl's dream-man. If I tell him I'm not well, he almost immediately calls me or asks to see me and offers help. Please am I over concerned?? Or are some men just really good friends??? I just never call my friends that often!! At the same time, if he had some feelings towards me, wouldn't he at least try to hide them a bit by not calling so often?? I dont get it and i dont want to ruin a friendship because i'm overthinking!!!

A friend told me something that i said made them feel bad. I apologized and meant it. They accepted the apology, but I'm felling physically sick from the guilt. How do I stop feeling sick?

I moved to a new school and i just feel so lonely and lost. There is no one that i feel a 'connection' with. Since the year group is pretty small, I've talked to pretty much all of them or at least (this sounds creepy i know) observed them and honestly they are just so different from me. Their interests are all so different from mine. I hang out with this massive group at lunch time but the group hardly even acknowledges that i'm there as in sometimes they'll just leave without even like saying to me oh let's go and stuff. Plus to me, the conversations are so so pointless and boring, i might say a couple words but that's it. If i'm looking at the positives i guess being 'alone' is good because it can allow me to focus on my studies? And also there is only 2 years so hopefully i can hold on. TBH i don't even know what my question is i guess i just wanted to put my thoughts out there. But does anyone know how i can make my situation better?

Hello. I have a question. My friend and I know someone for a couple months now. Now after gathering with friends when ever my best friend and I leave we discuss the person I am talking about which I think is super cute (i would date the person). And I explained to my friend how the person looks and she said no you're wrong! "The person looks like this and explains something entirely different." But when I look at the person I see the skin tone different and the hair different and the face more slim and very attractive. But my friend is like she is white with dirty blonde hair! And I to be honest i don't see that. And when ever we usually leave I can't seem to remember the persons face...But what I do remember is the hair color which seems to be dark and the skin tone medium dark and the slim face which is not correct from being told by my friend. We all later took a group photo and in the photo I saw her but she did not look the same as she does when her and I talk face to face, which shocked me. And i told my friend and she said the way you see her in the group photo we all took, is the way i see her in person she looks the same!!. But I told my friend the person I see in the photo right now is not the person I see when were in front of each other. Why is this? I would love a answer to my question. Thank you in advance.

I slow and I don't know. All my friends were driving and had license at age 16. I had my driver's license at age 20 years old. All my friends are getting married in their 20's. And now I'm 29 years old thinking of dating and not found anybody yet. Why am I always behind my friends in life? why am I so slow? I was never interest in dating when I was younger

My brother took my car and I wanted to visit my friend's house. My mom said she can take me to my friend's house since mom is friends with the mom. I told my mom I am only there at that house for like 2 hours and leaving since I have on my period. Mom was there in the house chatting with her friend for like hours and I wanted to go from there and she says "Wait." and she made me look like some spoiled *** girl when I told her what my plan was. I NEVER ride with my mom because I know how she is but today was the only day of the year I haven't been with her and she does this to me. why she was embarrassing me like that? and then she says if you want more tampons they can order from the store and you can stay at the house. And I ended staying at the house until night and looking like a spoiled brat in front of my friend

One of my really good friends at school has been really annoying me lately. Were both 17 and to be honest, we really don't like most people at our school. However, we still both have an okay amount of friends. Because we don't like a lot of different people, we often run into conflict over it. Literally, if I merely talk to someone she doesn't like, she will get super mad, tell me I am being fake, and threaten to not be my friend anymore. I feel like she's holding me back from making more friends because of all the petty sh!t she gets mad over. Then SHE will literally invite people I've told her I hate over to our lunch table, and when I confront her about it she just says "Oh it's not a big deal, give them a chance." Or "I don't want to choose between you and (insert person I hate)" Or "Oh but I've known them longer than I've known you." I'm getting really annoyed with all her annoying friends I tell her I don't like, and I want to stop being her friend. But the thing is, besides when I get annoyed with her, she's a really awesome friend. She always talks to me and gives me money and all that. She'd probably kill me if she saw what I am saying about her right now. What do I do, this is getting far too annoying and I can't take it anymore? I forgot to mention, but she also gets super butthurt when I tell her I don't like someone she is friends with. It gets even worse tho. Let me explain. Some of the people I talk to too that she would get mad over, is like this one girl named Daniela, or another girl named Wendy for example. A lot of the friends she has that I don't like, like this girl named Sarah, and another named Trinity, are friends with those same people! She tells me how she is closer to Sarah or Trinity than to me, but whenever they're friends with someone she doesn't like she doesn't care unless it's me like wtf?? Okay I'm sorry I know I'm really overflowing the updates, but I'm so mad right now. The people she says she hates, are honestly hated by her for stupid reasons. The people she brings over include people who literally talk **** about me 24/7, my exes, or people who are just generally rude and annoying in general.

Ok, i'm just gonna get to the big picture I'm 16 (almost turning 17) and i never go out anywhere i have been stuck in the house and homeschooled for years (on and off) and I'm very lonely. All i do is read, exercise, watch TV and dance or sing. I don't have no idea how to make or find friends and plus i don't know how to go out by myself and my mother won't let because basically the world is too dangerous and i can get shot and blah blah blah. :( I feel like a 7 year old and I don't know what to do or HOW to do it. Everytime I bring of this types of conversations with my mother she gives me a facial expression that's like "Really?" or ONLY just listening to me and giving me the most BLAND answer like just nodding and saying "yeah~" nonchalantly So,My question is, what are some activities that I can do that are free and that will bring me great experiences and opportunities to meet long lasting friends? and how can become more mobile? and start doing things on my own?

Maybe I m just looking for sympathy, but idk. I have a huge passion for music, and I was lucky to get free tickets to this huge music festival, headlined by Soundgarden. I planned on inviting a close friend, but I got so excited by the tickets that I kept blabbing about them to everyone. Eventually I told someone who really wanted to go, but didn t have the money for her own ticket. She didn t ask, but she s a good friend so I ended up offering her the ticket. She s really outgoing and popular, and I meanwhile have really bad social anxiety. What happened was we got to the festival and got sucked into a huge group of people she knew. I got really uncomfortable and really had a hard time enjoying myself. At the time neither of us could drive, so we were relying on her mom to pick us up after the festival. She came right before Soundgarden came out, and got really pissed and threatened to punish her if we didn t leave now. So we missed Soundgarden, and that was 2 weeks before Chris Cornell, their singer, died. I ve been regretting that whole experience ever since. I don t think it s fair to blame my friend. She definitely could tell I wasn t have as great a time and did everything to cheer me up, and its not her fault her mom made us leave early. I love her a lot, but I can t help but think if I had just invited my other friend like I planned I would have been able to really enjoy it, not to mention see one of my favorites. For those who read all that, What do you think?

I have been friend with this girl for 5 years. She use to be really nice and everyone considered her as one of the most nicest people. For some reason after we hitted high school, she started acting cold towards me and our friend for no reasons. She treat us like sh@t but act nice toward some of the other "popular" group of girls we hang out with. EX1: When I bring asain food from home as lunch, she get all gross about it. She would say "why are you eating with two wooden sticks when you could have a spoon for fork." or "EW! asain food are so weird." When we hang out together and stop at an asian restaurant, she wouldn't eat any food accept plain white rice bc everything was too weird and she didn't like it. When I try one of her mexican dishes and I don't like it, she would get offended about it. EX2: She treat me and two of our friend like we're her servant. She wanted to do theatre and didn't want to do it alone, so she made one of our friends joined her, but that friend does most of the work when they do groups project in the class. She always makes me do stuff like "send me this" or "Get me my book" or "Go get my binder" when she's way closer to it then I am. EX3: So I hang out with this guy a lot, and everyone is shipping us together when our relationship is not like that ESPECIALLY her. All of our convo are about him and I think she likes him instead. She would calll me a pu$$y or a scared asain b@tch for not making a move when all the other gils are in line for him. Somedays she could be really nice, but most of the time she act cold toward me and our friends. She's always with the group but she she's always on her phone instead. She would give out candies and gift to people she barely talks to but she never shares with us. When I got a haircut with bangs, she laugh at me bc I have the whole "Asian Package" (Bangs, Braces,Glasses) and it kinda offened me while evryone else says I look really pretty or I look like those kdrama girls.

I don't want her to think I'm a creep or looking for a girlfriend. I'm too nervous to talk to her at work and I don't see her very often.

My friend just told me she has ritual sex and at first it didn't bother me at all because that's just what she does she's just a friend that I've known for a while no feelings or anything. But the problem is is I feel weird it's almost like I feel upset like my stomach feels weird and I like can't sleep. This happens all the time in different situations and idk what it is. Idk if it's some sort of anxiety or something or if it's just me being stupid. This has been bothering me for a while. (The feeling not her sex thing)

One of my Guy friends (not that close but we sit at the same table) has become very touchy. No where inappropriate but he does it every time he seems me and keeps pushing up against me. I was molested when I was younger so I always feel uncomfortable with guys touching me but I always new it was just in my head and I was fine. But he does it all the time. Always moved so he's almost leaning on me and does these. I can't explain it but girls or guys might know what I mean. I can't just leave because I'm a juiner in HS and all my friends sit with him. I swear I'm not just over thinking. I can never up and confront him bc I just freeze. I can only awkwardly move so he's not right up against me. Can someone please help me with what I should do. I always freeze up. Thanks to anyone who answers seriously

Okay so I met my friend at lunch since I was sort of lonely, I didnt really like socializing lol but only with certain people. She's nice but she sometimes complains TOO MUCH about things but not always. I feel like she lies sometimes and I dont know why. Like she lied about getting 100 percent on big test when she actually got a 83 I heard. Im also in 10th grade. But I dont know I dont get why my friends all fall for someone else other than me. Im funny when Im in the mood (usually am) but its like the other person isnt. Plus my one friend seems a little too serious for me, I like someone who is funny and someone I can have fun with. I have a few friends like that but Im not really close to them, more like people I know. Its just weird that my one friend treats me differently than everyone else. Is she jealous, Im prettier than her but I dont know. She sorta has other ugly friends (no offense lol) but I dont know if she's just treating me more weirdly than others because of that. She doesnt care too much about her appearance but she keeps complaining about her hair. She's like more serious with me, I try to be funny, usually people laugh but she takes things seriously -_- , I can never get close to people, during when I was a kid people seemed weird to me, I always clashed with their personality or I just seemed to quiet or something stupid. But yeah Idk Im just clueless hate my life atm. Never can find anyone right for me except for my one boyfriend.
