You may be reading this thinking "oh they're probably just some edgy kid." No. This is legit. My friend, let's call him "c" is a psychopath. He's never told anyone as he doesn't believe a word that his psychologist/psychiatrist or whatever says. I know this because of his mom. She's TERRIFIED of her own "child" and she reached out to the parents of his friends to let them know what's going on. C has always been so nice to me. He really seems like a model citizen. I know he does date around a lot and has been caught cheating multiple times but we all make mistakes. Now that I know this about him though I've realized the things he does that I've brushed off. I don't know what to do. I love him and he's my friend but should I be friends with a known to be violent psychopath? I won't go into detail as it's not my past to spread but turns out he's done some seriously messed up ****. Would you be friends with a psychopath even if it meant you could get hurt mentally,verbally, or physically? He's done it to everyone else in his life who's to say I'm not next.

I suggested we spend the weekend at my friend's lake house. The friend's mouth hung open like they were offended. They said they just had a major repair to the house that cost a lot of money. Did I do something wrong?

I'm in college now. I was raise very conservatively. Never dressed down. Never talked to boys. Couldn't even pierce my ears. Saying a bad word makes me feel guilty. I was sheltered like this till 9th grade, and even after I got to high school and college I was warned off from making friendships... so I didn't make any, and the ones I made fell apart 'cause high school girls can be really mean and duplicitous. Now, years later, I feel so empty. I'm afraid to go out, I'm hesitant to get close to people because I don't want to do anything to disappoint my parents and make them lose their trust. And I feel like I'm not the kind of girl guys are even interested in. I feel stuck with this identity and so out of touch with the rest of the world. I feel like I belong in the 50's lol. I'm your stereotypical "good girl" but I'm not reckless. Any advice to help me overcome this sort of mentality? And, one thing I know is that I'll always be somewhat old fashioned. Are there guys who like this quality? Thank you for your advice.

I wasn't always a super shy person. I was always shy but was always capable of getting comfortable with people after a while. I am 18 and in my last year in school. I have never been as shy as I am at this time in my life. My 2 best friends are loud and ooze confidence. This is great, obviously. Don't get me wrong, I love them. But, being with them makes me feel less important or something. However, I don't always think they want the best for me? I know this sounds like something that's all in my head. But, for example, if I happen to be having a conversation with someone, they must come over and get involved almost in an effort to prove that they are the more 'fun' friends. I may not be the loudest or most outgoing. But I am compassionate and I actually have thoughts and opinions but never seem to get the chance to share them. I really am not trying to throw a pity party for myself! I swear! I really just don't know what to do at this stage. I feel like nobody wants to talk to me and often, it feels as though I'm invisible. This is really hard to articulate properly but it makes my heart heavy, it makes me frustrated. At my age, I should be getting more confident, not less confident, right? If anyone has been through anything similar, please give me some advice. It would be really appreciated!!!

I love my best friend, I've known her since the second grade, but time have changed and now we hang out with completely different crowds. She tries really hard to be popular and after a while it gets so annoying. She just completely turns into someone else Like she went through this whole phase where is seemed like she thought she was Liza koshy. And Liza koshy is pretty funny but I don't wanna be her best friend. Or like last night we went to this school event and everything was cool and she was being the normal bestie that I love so much then as soon as her "friends" got here she started acting different. Then my friends got here and we basically didn't talk for the rest of the entire night. Before I left to hang out with my other friends she was being so rude to me too. I just wish she didn't try to so hard to impress them. And then after a while they end up talking trash behind her back and she gets her feelings hurt and falls back on me. She claims to hate them and never wants to talk to them again. The next week she's back to being with them. Also her friends seem nice but they're all those kids who are failing terribly and doing drugs. Should I just be direct and tell her to stop treating me different around them or don't talk to me, or should I just try to bring it up peacefully and casually. I love her so much when she's being herself but I'm getting tired of her acting like a ***** towards me when they're around.

By this thursday?

Do you think he wants to have sex with me? ME:Do you want to be friends with benefits? HIM:I wish you would've given me your number years ago. How do you feel about being with me and another girl? ME:Wow. I was thinking that maybe we might hookup but I guess not lol. HIM:2 years ago I would've loved to ME:I understand. HIM:the lady likes ladies though ME:Nevermind me saying anything I was out of line anyway. I thought you were single and was just looking for some fun. HIM:I was ME:Ok I just always thought you were sexy. I don't know what I was thinking lol. It's crazy but I apologize. HIM:Don't I was always into you too ME:Well we can still be friends. HIM:good ME:I'm thinking about going back to massage school part time I really miss it. HIM:I'll still be your study buddy ME: It's just that a threesome is a little much for me. I've never really been sexually involved with a guy. HIM:but you've been with girls, so how bout being involved with the girl while I sit back and watch? ME:I've never been with a woman either. HIM:oh so you're a gem, then? Like I said, I wish I got your number years ago. we could've been having such fun ME:I wish you hadn't of waited so long to ask for my number. I feel like I missed out lol. ME:Can we still hangout? HIM:you were always with your family I feel like I never had you alone and I thought you were too young absolutely. I have to go now though. I'll ttyl

I have a really close friend named Cain. He's always been a little cold and standoffish but it's gotten a LOT worse. He gets in relationships with girls and guys just to break up with them for the stupidest reasons. He lies, cheats, and gets into all sorts of trouble. I've expressed how much I worry about him and he says I'm just overreacting. Nobody else realizes this is going on because he's not close to anyone but me. Also he's got them all fooled into thinking he's a nice caring guy. He's even gotten into it with the law and doesn't seem to care. He drinks but he's done that for a while and he's getting help for it. I just don't know what to do. The way he's using and ditching people doesn't seem healthy. He's said some rude stuff to me but he also tells me he doesn't want anyone to hurt me and gets super possessive. Any suggestions? I should probably add he's got some sort of personality disorder or something. I know he sees a psychologist and psychiatrist because I overheard him talking to his mom about how he thinks it's all bullshit and that there's "nothing wrong with him." The problem is I think I love him, and it hurts me to see how he's treating everyone but mostly himself

I'm in 8th grade she said bigger apparently I was talking behind her back but there's no proof . I don't wanja fight her bc it's not a legit reason and don't wanna get in troubl yesterday at the park district bathroom she screamed st my face and threatened to beat me up and as I was walking out she grabbed me but I got out the bathroom told the front desk and they called the police . She apologized to the police and said she was heated and she's done having issues with me . But we go to the same school and I know my princiapl won't play around especially since it's not her first time doing this and so Wednesday since we have Monday and Tuesday off I will tell them and the police officer who works at my school knows bc the report got sent to him. Idk what to do I don't want her to touch me but first thing Wednesday morning I'm going to the princiapl

So I'm an adult with Aspergers Syndrome who has had a hard time making and keeping friends. I know two people who are really mean to me and don't include me in any plans whatsoever. Every time I try to talk to them about how upset it makes me that they won't see me very often or talk to me more, they give me the same reasons all the time. They are able to make time for each other and make sure they have transportation to see each other; but won't do any of this with me. I have seen them 5 times in the past 2 years and we all live pretty much in the same area. I got into an argument with one of them last week and when I said it wasn't normal that they've only seen me 5 times in 2 years, all she said was that that was "her best friend". She said the world didn't revolve around me and that she isn't going to stop hanging out with her best friend by herself just because it bothered me that I'm not included. I never said she had to stop hanging out with her best friend. I don't want to ruin their friendship, all I want is to be included in more plans. Then the other one chimed in and claimed she didn't talk to her best friend before contacting me, but that was a lie. It seems like they don't understand why I'm so upset about this, regardless of how many times I've talked to them about it. I'm blamed for everything all the time. They've talked to me since the argument but haven't apologized. One of them even asked if I was on my menstrual cycle because I was "emotional".

I had two fake friends when I was like 10. They made me do a few dares (one was going up to a girl and ask if she knew (her brothers name). I forgot the rest. They were closer to each other so they ignored me. I was "friends" with them for only a year. Once one of them noticed (when we were on a camping field trip at school) that I took out a toothbrush straight from the wrapper, brand new. She said something like how I don't brush my teeth because I brought a new toothbrush, and exchanged looks with the other friend. When I was with them, I did not feel too bad, I didn't like what they were doing to me no, but I didn't feel that bad. Was it bullying?

Hi so I'm black and I don't really look like I can speak Spanish at a first glance but I speak 4 languages but I don't speak them at school and my friend is Hispanic and was talking about her friend in Spanish with another girl (she wasn't excluding me or anything she was just talking) and later that day I said something to my brother in Spanish when she was there and she said I lied to her and pretended I didn't speak Spanish. Was this a lie? I mean I asked her what a couple of words were in Spanish so she may have gotten the idea I didn't speak Spanish but I NEVER told her I didn't speak Spanish.

I want to be best friends with this person but i dont think this friend would want. he/she doesnt even give me his/her number when i asked for it and i really want to stay conncted with him/he we text in social media but he/she doesnt want to follow me this friend is really important to me and i dont want to lose him/her

every single day multiple times a day my roommate will poke me in my side and it ******* pisses me off beyond belief. I can't even walk next to her or be arms length near her because she can't keep her hands to herself. it literally triggers an anxiety to be near her because she constantly does it and every time she does I tell her to cut it out but she finds it funny and refuses to listen. I'm honestly a poke away from punching her in the face as hard as I can because I don't ******* like being poked and I want her to stop. on top of that she's constantly grabbing my arms and laying her head on top of me and leaning into me and I'm so ******* sick and tired of her hands on me and her not listening when I say stop or move away from her. I only like being touched in excessive amounts by my bf and she knows this. why can't she keep her hands to herself? she's 19 we learned this **** in kindergarten????? omg I'm so mad ugh what do I do from keeping myself from literally punching her?

go out to eat, go to the fair, and so much other stuff. However, it got to where whenever I would call her, she would act like i was bothering her and she would say she was in the middle of doing this or that whenever I called. II would ask her if she could just let the answer maching pick up when she sees it is me calling on the caller id and she said she couldn't because it would wake her husband up because he would be sleeping. So I continued to call her and each time she would answer the phone saying she was doing this or that when I called and she would then hang up. She would always call me back but it would be like 20 minutes later or and hour later. Sometimes 2 hours later. So I finally quit calling her. I stopped returning her calls whenever she left a message on my answer machine. After the last 2 messages she left on my answer machine (that I never returned) she stopped calling. I thought I was doing the right thing by not calling her back because it got to where everytime I called her she would mistreat me. Now, I'm thinking I overreacted. So did I do the right thing? It is now 7 years later and I'm having a guilty conscience about the whole thing.. I'd like to write her a letter and ask how she is doing but since I didn't return the last 2 phone calls(7 years ago) I'm thinking bridges are burnt and I'll never have that friendship back. In the last 7 years I've seen her a few places and she came over to talk to me. Is it worth a shot to try to send her a letter?

I want to hang out with someone and she says she doesn't know how she'll get me to and from there. It's like this all the time whenever I want to go anywhere. I don't want to take a taxi or Uber all the time, because that would get expensive. I have lost friends because of this. What do I do?

Yes I know I was wrong for lying but I did lie. I'm just wondering if he would be able to tell? Couldn't I just tell him. My hymen was broken during an accident I had as a kid? I don't have much experience.

I don't get offended easily but sometimes too much is TOO much. And this guy keeps on saying insults that really lowers my self esteem. I get good grades, I have many good friends, and I get along with everyone. But he's the problem of my school life. He's toxic towards my education. I can't focus, I try to ignore him, I even reported him 2 times. But all he gets is a detention slip or a talk with the principal. I told him to stop, and I told his friends to tell him to settle down and shut up. But he wouldn't. Ughh I'm always so sad and mad in school, and when I get home I'm always moody. What should I do😢. Sorry if it's long I'm 13 years old :/

I'm a sophomore in high school. I'm not saying this to be mean, but she's really hypocritical. She never does her math homework but tells me, "Procrastination doesn't mean you're stupid." Well it's dumb not to do your work knowing that it'll affect your future..... she also calls other people stupid too. We were talking about a classmate and suddenly my friend says, "Oh, she's stupid." And so I ask why. And my friend says, "She got a B in 7th grade algebra 1." BUT MY FRIEND ALSO GOT A B IN 7TH GRADE ALGEBRA 1. So I tell her that and she makes an excuse and tells me, "That's only because I did bad on the final but I did well on the chapter tests." She always makes excuses for herself. She also enjoys calling me stupid too. Why is she such a hypocrite? I'm not saying I'm smart either, but at least I'm better than her as I don't put others down.

I Had sent this guy Christmas greeting GIFs , new year GIFs. I did not turn on my WhatsApp READ RECEIPTS, so I'm not sure if he has read and chose to ignore my messages and not replied. If I did not turn on my WhatsApp read receipts , I cannot see the blue ticks that indicate the person has read my message. So I sent another greeting GIFsagain after 2 months later, I not turn on READ RECEIPTS and again he did not reply or even greet me back,so I decided to test him out again by turning on my WHATSAPP READ RECEIPTS ,so if he seen my text , he cannot escape,and boy I'm right, as there is two blue ticks,he had no choice but to reply me. Why is he is nasty? I have already let go of the past that we had misunderstanding and it is now obvious now. What say you?

Long story short, my best friend has always been a calm and fun dude. He was "jokingly" insulting me for a couple weeks, so I started doing same thing back. Not once did I insult him personally, but he did to me on multiple occasions. Things domino and he sends me a message saying "your an asshole for talking ****, and **** behind my back" (I never talked **** behind his back). Turned into a debate, and even though I felt I did no wrong (he was mad at me for doing the same joking around he was doing to me), I apologized. He said "fine but if it happens again I'm done". Couple days pass and he ignores me, skips class to avoid me, is rude to me, all round just petty attitude. I tried asking/talking to him with no avail, and even asked him to hangout over text which he ignored. To my other friends he's acting just fine, and they all agree he's being childish, so I eventually called him out on it, saying I thought we worked it out et etc, but he just ignored me. I don't know what to do at this point, he is/was a good friend who's never had this attitude before, and the whole argument is honestly over nothing.

Tomorrow me and 2 of my friends are hanging out for one of their birthdays, but there is also another guy coming that I have never met and he has been their friend for years. How do I break the ice with him? I don't want to feel like a tag along if they start catching up on old memories.

I stumbled on my BF Facebook today and found these with his bestfriend(girl& married). We've dated 8 months, but BF/GF 1 1/2 months. This is from 2 weeks after he asked me 2 be his GF, 2 weeks ago. (Im 22, he's 28) BF: So seems like this girl wants to date for real F: Which one? And how do you feel about that? BF: Which one? lol. nice.... The younger one from Armenia. I don't know.. she really is pretty great. She is smart, pretty, very kind, fun. But there is a definite difference in maturity & life experiences. We are just in completely different places in terms of perspective, & while she is very smart and kind, she doesn't share the same passion for social justice issues that I do. She would have been PERFECT like 5 years ago. F: Right. Sounds like a fun fling but not a girlfriend. BF: I guess... but I don't want to hurt her. She told her mom about me, etc. F: She'll be hurt for 1 second & get over it. Its much kinder than leading her on. BF: Well its more than that, we do have great chemistry. I don't know, I have dated great people in the past years but always find a reason not to pursue it. F: She's too young & doesn't share the same passion for social justice BF: Yeah my passion is very important to me, but its also a very rare quality. F: But its what you've chosen to do BF: Its not like she doesn't care and she listens, but doesn't exactly have much to contribute to some of my convos. I feel like I've become a terrible person with dating too F: Why? *The Rest* : F: I think thats fair I know most about your ex and she was awful. BF: I guess I'm tired of being alone though F: Yeah but if she's being upfront with you then you need to be the same with her. Thats a pretty bad reason to enter into a relationship though BF: it is more than that. I do care about her. F: Yeah maybe, but you need someone in-line with all of you BF: that is true. We are still together. I don't know what to think or do. I know these were private but please help!

I'm a junior who transferred to a new school in the fall. I live off campus (an apartment complex for students) with 2 roommates and they're the complete opposite of me. I was diagnosed with depression and social anxiety and started treatment in 2016 even though it'd been a problem for much longer. I'm not saying that's why I can't make friends but it certainly does play a part. I've never had many friends and now that I'm in college I have absolutely none. I was hoping when I transferred from my community college I'd be able to meet more people, make some friends but it's exactly the same. I'm part of 2 clubs and a couple of the girls are nice; theres 2 or 3 who may talk to me occasionally but I'm intimidated by them and usually don't have much to say back anyway. When we do club activities I may try to start conversations: what's your major/year, why'd you join the club, do you have any experience with this? but these short convos never go anywhere and I feel like I'm making them uncomfortable with my awkwardness. I keep my mouth shut and stay in the background because a lot seem to have absolutely no interest. We're about 1/2 way through the semester so I don't think I'll meet anyone but maybe next year? I'm lonely. I spent my childhood and teenage years in almost complete isolation and I don't want all my college time/20s or the rest of my life to be like this. Help

I mean a BEST friend :/ i when my really good friend moves, i'll have no one but this sort of "fake" girl. we have a lot of laughs and fun but sometimes the way she acts either/minh on text is just.. irritating to what she says. and even my really good friend sees it in her that she's sort of fake. i talk to people but i'm scared that if I hang out with them since they have their phone friends I'm getting to Scana be set teen their loans smiling and chuckling what they say and maybe asking like one or two questions and you're sitting there quietly while they look at me is if you times because I'm not talking to them just sitting there :/ i'm scared to hang out with a friend who already has friends because of that .. how do i start talking to more people and actually make a best friend without joining club or sports? my friend isn't in any clubs/sports and she knows a lot of people already

My boss always talks about how violent the trades were 30 years ago. Literally today he told me he would have whooped my *** fir disagreeing when he was twenty. Its starting to get old hearing this. Were you tradesmen really a bunch of savages? I can take a chewing no prob, but straight up fighting dudes seems rediculous. Fill me in old guys....

I heard guys put on a bravado but they have a side to them that has feelings and stuff. Ok so I was nice and firendly to him. Why didnt he drop his guard. I'm hurt. I guess I'm not good enough.

A close female friend of mine posted a short video of her sucking on a lollipop the way someone gives a blwjob. I texted a comment to her saying "i like your skills" and she responded "lol thanks." The next day she reminded me that I had once promised to buy her a cellular phone(she's a bit financially frustrated atm). I am going to help her out, but I was wondering if she was offering me a blwjob since she mentioned the phone. Whether or not she was, im still gonna give her the phone as a friend. But she knows im single and sexually backed up, she's single, we wouldnt be cheating on anyone, so why not? Right?? That would be like friends helping out each other.

So I'm currently 15 and I've gone through a lot with my parents. It's going to be a long story but i hope someone helps me out and doesn't judge me instead.... so at the beginning on 8th grade i was all about being popular ( i know silly) but i was young sooo anyways everything seem to be going fine until one day in march i was drooling through Instagram and saw this guy selling a phone and i told him to come to my house but my parents had no idea i was doing this ( i know silly again) but he came and i got caught so i made this lie up that i was selling drugs etc. because i didnt want to get caught with the phone. In reality i was doing nothing of this i just didnt want my mom to have the phone i purchased bc of all my social media. I got moved from schools and my parents kept a close eye on me after that one day my mom just locked me up at a facility for 2 weeks for no reason and called me a hoe, slut, etc. you can imagine and well my parents took me out of school but they never told me why ? They made me do homeschool now and have me under strict supervision. I ahve no friends I'm at home everyday i can say my only friend is my computer and I've gotten into this huge depression and even thought about killing myself but i havent i overthink it to much..... I'm not even allowed to have a phone or throw the trash away without supervision. Does anyone know how to move out at 18 with no Job? Only real answers plz dont judge me
