I've been wanting to leave my home for the longest time and I think it's time I go. Even my parents have private conversations of me leaving. My home just isn't for me anymore. I'm 22, so I know I'm old enough to leave. My question is how do I go about it. I'm thinking of staying in a homeless shelter, seeing as that i have no job. But dont tell me just to get a job, I'm trying to, but I want to leave now. I really just want to get up, pack ny bags and leave. Do I just tell my parents I'm leaving??

My friend has really bad anxiety and depression. She'd come to school with cuts on the top of her wrist and even scratch at specific places on her body, mostly her neck, until they become a bloody spotted rash. She's very insecure and has always been seen really upset or crying. There's always a distant look in her eyes and she would apologize for everything when she hadn't even done anything wrong. But recently she has been acting really different. She's become very childish. I'd occasionally see her reach into her lunch bag and pull things out then throw them in her mouth, never letting anyone see what it is. All of our friends have become worried because she'd go around just bouncing and poking everyone's noses with a 'boop'. She'd giggle afterwards and run off to the next person. She'd squeal over nothing and just smile for no reason. Then at random times she'd just stop smiling and stare at the ground for a full minute with a confused look on her face, and when she looks back up she'd put on a huge smile and continue bouncing around and eating whatever it is in her lunch bag. None of this is normal for her and it's beginning to scare me because she's just acting like a complete child and she's always been the quiet and distant type. Does anyone have any idea of what is going on with her?

How does this make any sense? So Someone says a total of 5 words to a girl in the span of 3 months of working with them and some how to a few of his fellow coworkers it means he likes her. Huh? BTW I have no idea the exact number of words i just know it was not very many at all Gotta less than 10. Think all were like one word responds. This girl does talk to me at all either so its not like Im avoiding her.Shes on my mind all the time now. No joke it bothers me. i dont have a desire to talk to her to be honest. She has given me a few dirty looks in the past just at random.

Hi everyone!Just wondering how do you forget a friend the fastest. There's this girl who used to be my classmate and I considered her my closest friend.I got into a fight with her [ an the whole group of friends since some of them took sides] and even though we made up things weren't like they used to before that[which is normal]. We parted ways a few years ago,but sometimes I still miss her.I haven't really had a friend like her since then- I've always felt like I annoy them if I write to often or send\talk to them about things that they don't really find interesting.[you see,I tend to spam people with memes,ridiculous songs and complete b*ullsh*it sometimes]. A lot of people f'd me up since then friendship wise,so when I see a post of hers on fb I kinda miss her,even though I'm sure she's changed a lot and is not the person I was friends with[which again is normal since people change].The most ridiculous thing is that I often dream about talking to my friends from back then and it's been years.xD So how do youor would you cope in a situation like that.I don't want to "hit her up" again,it doesn't make sense anymore[don't wanna defriend her either,since I still respect her enough to follow her on social media] Soo,yeah,what do you think is the fastest way to forget a friend you've lost?

my friends get paid to come here and take me out to make new friends. I like them and all but how do I tell them no? around 3 weeks ago I got the flu and 2 days I had canceled my friends from coming here as 1 I needed rest and 2 I did not want them to get sick. well the one friend got upset that I canceled on her and yelled at me via text message for it. that was the friend that overseas other friends who help me make friends. that Thursday I texted her and said it is def the flu and I told her about it and all she could say was so canceled again today on your friends and I said I have no choice. well the illness progressed into my chest and I got bronchitis so I kept everyone last week like I was to and went to the doctors and I was told it is pleurisy and bronchitis and I messaged the doc Thursday to say I am worse and that I felt it was pneumonia and the doc said to continue the treatment plan and update him on Monday, I have my friends 3 x this coming wee and if I might have pneumonia I do not want them to come here, but everytime I cancel on them and tell them not to come the one gets pissed and yells at me for it and expects me to still have my friends over even while I am sick I am not scared to cancel on them and tell them no because of this. how do I tell them no do not come here while I am sick without getting yelled at for it? people said let them come while I am sick and if they get sick oh well then they will learn to stay away when you are sick the problem with that is that most days last week when I went out with them I came home all hoarse,raspy and croaky and coughing so bad my chest hurt from the pleurisy. some of them push me a lil to much exp when I am sick and then I feel worse because of that and when you tell them no you do not want to do that today because of being sick they look at u like oh well do it anyway because I said to, I cant seem to make them happy.

What'll I do? To tell it to my family and friends? or keep it secret? I've many communists friends that don't might share my opinion.

I had my best friend whom I did a lot of thing with him together everything and almost daily contact then he had some issues that I did not understand and started to avoid my texting, calls, ...even if one a week and show no interest on me whenever he saw me not like mad of me but as if I were a burden on him so I decided to stop bother him but I do not mind answering his calls or texts if he does but he never did then I was sure that he was not interested in my friendship anymore then 2-3 years passed and he saw me on the road then came to my house rang the bill and left me a stupid old mail I left it with him a long time ago (trash), I did not answer the door by the way, the question is what pushed him to come back is it the sympathy or feeling lonely or resetting himself...

Me I'm a person whom I'm described as a sensitive, an extremely generous , helpful, trustful compassionate and funny but my defect is that if some one of my very close friends piss me off I can not get away with that so I will start to avoid them, then I cut them off completely, I do not get mad because of money, materialistic things or personal interest but I got pissed off when it come to principles and values so if someone yells at me so hard or lectures me strongly or in case of a big insult and all of those who pissed me off and hurt me they tried to come back some of them I accepted them back but mostly I rejected them forever and gave up when they tried hard and found no hope , normally they come back when they are down or having problems, like in hospitals after an accident, depressed because of divorce or the loss of a family member or a job, money...they remember my help and my consoling my generosity , my sacrifice my honesty and start to mention what goods I did for them on my own expenses without any return and I'm a rare breed that almost extinct and feel the sorrow ....my question is what push them to think like that because they find out that I'm a true and loyal friend and feel guilty of what they did or feel that what happened was not worth it to loose me or wanna take advantage of me again and fool with me and why only when they're in a bad situations then they feel the pain of my absence !

I cant understand her attitude

Should I block my friend who I like on social media and my life again. I'm like in love with this girl always thinking about her and stuff I swear she might like me but I just know having her in my life will only distract me from my current life and grades because I'm always thinking about asking her on a date. I recently blocked her from every social media and life was going good but we ran into each other the other day and she noticed I blocked her and she made me unblock her and now having her in my life is making me not focus in school which are making my grades slip. I'm just trying to let go of her

I have spent most of my life pretty socially awkward. In the last years time iceberg begun opening up and making friends and interpersonal connections for the first time. I original thought this was great for me, but I'm now seeing the fault in what I've done. I am emotionally toxic. I can't stand the fact that I keep hurting people I care about. Between my mental illness and my under developed ability to connect I have hurt my first real friend I've ever had. She has not pushed me away or left, and I've since begun reflecting on all my connections in life. My family always hasn't to deal with my issues and my surface friends I ever had before have always been pushed away. I realize now that the core issue here is that I'm not good for other people. I try and push my friend or my family away from me so I can't hurt them, but they won't let me leave. How can I make these people stop caring for me once the least painful way possible. I don't want to hurt hurt these people I care so much about anymore. I would love to be able to just be alone and know that everyone else is happy.

There's a girl at school who all the kids make fun of. Shes adopted, and her biological family didn't want her. It's soooo obvious that her current family isn't related to her. She's a different culture from them, and they look nothing like her

My best friend and I have been friends for over 12 years. In the beginning of our friendship I was the only one with a car so naturally I drove all the time. I never asked for gas, not even once. A few years ago she finally got her own car and we started taking turns driving and neither of us asked for gas money. Recently I have been having financial difficulties, which she knows about. I'm also a single mother, while she has no kids, so she is usually pretty understanding that I can't always afford to do things that she can. She, however, has been doing well financially in recent months. However, we still always take turns driving and never expect gas from one another. She just got paid 2 days ago and I get paid next week. So right now I'm on the end of my last paycheck, while she is good. Her dad also just sent her $4,000 just because. She offered to pay to get my nails done 2 days ago which I turned down. Then she offered to take us both to melting pot which I agreed to because she really wants to go. 2 days ago my car broke down and it's currently being fixed so if we go anywhere for the next few days she obviously has to drive. Well today she told me that we have to meet at the melting pot. I said that's not an option my car is broke down right now. So she said she would pick me up but I have to give her at least $10 in gas. This is the first time either of us has asked for gas, including when I was the sole driver for YEARS. What gives? What should I do?

I wanted to be friends. We used to really get along well. People knew that she just loved me and she would say it. I don't know what happened exactly but we stopped getting along as well. It seemed to have happened after she invited me to go watch one of her games and I didn't go - she thought I had confirmed I'd go but I was only thinking about it. One day I planned on going to another of her games and texted asking if it was still on. She replied "Who's this?" That hurt. We work together. She'd pass by me frequently without stopping to chat or say hey. If I said hi, she gave a quick, disinterested response without much eye contact. I always had in mind the fact that she never asked about me, how I was, what I was up to, etc. To me it meant she just didn't care. And when I casually mentioned through text that I go both ways - I like women too- and she pulled one of those ignoring stunts sometime after I said that...I was PUT OFF. I wondered if she was uncomfortable with me and then I thought "Fk that. That's her problem not mine; I'm just done with her." I always thought she was bi as well. She was very flirty with me early on - playfully shoving me in the lower back, sexual jokes like I should strip for her, calling me sexy, etc. But then would say things like she was going to find me a man and she seemed to find it funny. One time after she'd said this, I returned with "I got a man" and she said "No you don't. Do you??" Her smile gone. Anyways, she's been trying to talk to me, be friendly with me, ask about me etc. I feel like a dic if I don't answer so I respond shortly w/disinterest. Also, I wonder if she thinks I'm acting like this because I have feelings for her and she feels bad. I did once have feelings but that was a while ago. I legitimately was just trying to be friends. We've been through this before - I feel irritated and she starts being friendly like she doesn't know what happened. Saying she "just loves me" etc

I kind of regret telling her I'm pregnant because she's one of those girls who is obsessed with other girls babies and is always babysitting kids and ever since I found out I was pregnant she's gotten really annoying she's constantly asking me "can I babysit her" "you better let me have her whenever you go out" "when she is 4 months I want to babysit" I just brush it off because I would never trust my baby with anyone but my family I'm going to breastfeed anyway .. I'm due any day now (39 weeks) and she's become a little annoying messaging me every single day "how's my baby?" and telling me "I better be the first to know when you go into labor" and "you better message me when she's here I swear" like I just told her that she will see it on my social media when the baby is born and she's like "no I need a direct text" like honestly that's going to be the last thing on my mind when my baby is born and I know she's going to want to be there at the hospital but I only want my family there so I can have my space and me and the dad can bond with our baby. Am I wrong to be annoyed by this ??

I literally have no interest in going to prom, no it's not because I don't have someone to go with because I do have a boyfriend. It is because I do not enjoy the company of the people in my year in other words I despise them and have no interest in spending loads of money on something I don't want to do when it could be spent on doing something I actually like. I don't take pictures of myself or do not get in any pictures so prom would defiently be a difficult place for me to be as it is all about pictures and I physically cannot be in them! Now the problem, my friend wants me to go because our friend group consists of only me and her so she wants me to go because she will be going without a friend then but she will have someone to go with ( her boyfriend ). She has no problems of getting pictures and she actually talks to the people in my year and gets along with them unlike me who does not speak she is angry at me as she is saying that if I don't go to prom she can't go either, i think this is extremely unfair as I literally don't want to go I would rather do anything else like literally! Am I wrong for not wanting to go and leaving her to go on without me?

In my school system there's a project which you have to do in the year I'm in. It's about community service and I decided to work in a group with my kind-of friend. This project is very big and can contribute to whether I graduate or not and which colleges I get accepted to. We've been working on the project and planning the whole thing since September, and it's now March. But it's starting to become a problem. Whenever we take a step in our planning we have to write a 3 page process journal, and we planned that each of us would do the same amount of process journals. She was supposed to two in October. We had a lesson to work on the project in late January, and she still hadn't done them by then. When I asked about them she made some excuse and continued to use that lesson to start on and not even complete one of the process journals and give me short and rude answers to questions I asked, when that was one of the few allocated times we were given to work on the project. So we didn't get anything done. The other process journal she was supposed to do 5 months ago I just gave up and did myself because I was stressing and I didn't have the energy to remind her for the tenth time. I've now done five, she's done 3/4 of one. She also is incredibly difficult to collaborate with. Whenever I suggest a rough idea, she picks out the small problems and makes them seem like huge problems and addresses them in a very condescending way. I would explain more, but word limit. What do I do?

This is the fifht time she has done this and i have no idea why i'm still with her. I know she's gonna deny doing it. How do i confront her and make her tell the truth

After the college I returned home and most of my friends went on with their lifes, I tried to reconect with them but it seems that I they dont want me. So I moved one, being loneley for some time but I restarted friendship with some other friends from a childhoos spontaniousley, mostley they had same problem. And they are all ok guys I pretiete tham but I feel that I need some female friends. Just friends not flert nececereley.I cant hold on it on a work because mechanical engeneers are mostley male. I am 25 BTW. Any advice for a good places to meet some new people, mostley the girls (do not say pubs etc I am hanging in some in my Town, that girls there don't know what they want.)

We are adults (not teens or kids like so many on here). But we didn't date very long but our time together was wonderful. Because of my life and age (I'm 11 years older than he is) and my beliefs, and medical issues i have... we cannot be together. But i do believe he is my soul mate. We talk every day....even though we are only in a platonic friendship now. He tells me of a new woman he is seeing and how happy he is. I try not to cry or get crushed, but how can i not? But i am ill and poor and cannot date right now due to my health....so i just watch as he moves on while i cannot. How can i find peace right now? Please don't be critical of me or judge me. I know how easy it is on YA but i am doing the best i can due to difficult circumstances. Thank you....

ima girl and men hate me since middle school to high school. This happens by both straight and gay men. (mostly gay.) When me and my friends hang out some times guys would come over and picked on me or say something about me out of all the girls. They dont say anything about them but about me. im very quiet and far from annoying. Even online when i posted a selfie this guy commented "ur one hideous *****!!!!" and other guys commented laughing at the guy's comment. Its a fake page with a guys name but a famous girl's profile pic. im shy and friendly but i think i might change that because this is getting to crazy

I got an email from Remind 101 about a message I sent. i had created a group to promote funny humor, and to stay in better contact with my friends from school. The message read "Hey everyone. Have a good night. I wish the lego movie was on netflix so i could it while i shove scoops of ice cream up my asshole. Just kidding, lol. Have a good night everyone!" I have since - Deleted the class and archived the posts and - Reviewed the guidelines. Does the administrator of the school i was applied to get an email as well? I had a friend do the same thing, but the first time only he got one. the second time, the admin got one

i'm only 16 and i hear "you have your whole life ahead of you". yet i'm stuck in my house most of the time cause my mom is too scared for me to leave. (i'm homeschooled) and she always makes up excuses as to why she can't drive me anywhere or why we never leave. i only gave two friends and they're always busy. i'm always stuck in my head and i just imagine hanging myself cause i don't feel like i'm worth anything. i never have. i used to starve myself when i was 12 cause i felt i was wasting the little money we had. but i've become to dislike my mom a lot so i don't think like that anymore.. i feel like i'm just burdening my friends if i talk about how i feel. they already have their own problems. my brothers and sisters don't talk to me and my dad left us when i was 2. my mom hates the doctors so i'll never get professional help. i'm just rambling but i have no one to talk to. thank you if you took the time to read this.

I was tryna get someone to clean my apartment for a small fee from time to time, so i asked a female friend of mine (22 yrs old). I'm 26, so she said she will ask he mom. I said ok because i didnt want to disrespect her mom, but i honestly would rather a young girl clean my apartment. She told me that she spoke to her mom, and her mom told her to go and check my place out first. She has a boyfriend so I guess thats why she herself doesnt want to do it. Anyways, she asked if i can bring her to check my place out on sunday. Foolish me again, arranged to pick her up on sunday to check the place out. I know her mom needs the money but.. sigh. I honestly was hoping for something different and have no intention of letting her mom clean my apartment.

So about 2 days ago one of my closest friend was talking to me about a party on the weekend for our friend from a different school that's moving away. She told me it was going to be on Friday night but she wasn't sure if it was going to happen or not. I told her ok and to please let me know. I look on Snapchat tonight and see that one of my other friends is at the party that I didn't know was going to happen. I'm not sure why she didn't invite me or even text me to let me know that the party was on tonight. She didn't forget because she inviting my other friend and not me. Am I over reacting or should I confront her about it when I see her again?

What do you see in this picture?? https://janinenie.deviantart.com/art/20160226-222948-593524978

To quote tyler the creator, " close your eyes" like for real. And in any case, i feel like what im about to say constitutes to real bullying as well. If the dude is bullying you and you know him, PUNCH HIM IN THE FACE. Cyber bullying to me just seems so insignificant. Like just turn off your phone. Before you start calling me an unsympathetic jerk, i was bullied from 6 to 8th grade.

I had a childhood friend. And she was there for me during the worst times and helped me out. We are not best friends anymore because we are older now and she hide her wedding from me. Her and husband got married privately without nobody knowing about it but that's okay, that's her business. I congratulated her. She thank me. If she's in a happy relationship, I'm happy for her but something tells me that she's not okay. I am worried about her and my other friend also got worried about her. She's not answering my phone calls. I heard rumors that her husband gets violent and has beaten up some of his own family members. I don't know what's going on. Should I keep calling or maybe I am worried for no reason? and stop being her friend since she don't share details with me anymore

In school, i left to go to the bathroom. I left my bag in class, when a returned a few things were missing. I was kinda pissed. People were telling me it was 2 kids who usually make trouble and fool around. I confronted one of them, he claimed he didn't have anything. The other left, it was the end of the period. I am mad and I reported it to the dean cause I felt my privacy was invaded. The dean told me that they might face suspension, I feel bad about this. In my opinion suspension is a bit extreme, I am also scared of being jumped by the 2 kids and their friends, what should it do?

I usually get in trouble because of my anger and all that, I have gotten in trouble 3-4 times because of arguments on my personal school computer that they give everyone, they finally took it up, but I just can't help it sometimes, when someone says something mean to me or someone is being dumb or is being a smart alek I just wanna punch them and I end up cussing them out, I don't wanna be seen as rude or anything but some small things get on my nerves and are seen as stupid by other people, like if someone deletes me from a group chat, or if someone is standing super close to me, or if someone smells bad, or if someone is touching me, or if someone is talking way too loud when I'm sleeping, working, etc., and, chewing with your mouth open is a big one. But my friends say I need to control my "issues", my assistant principle says I need to, and I do yell sometimes and I say things I don't mean, but it makes me feel good when I'm done doing what I need to do or say to someone. And my mom doesn't do therapy, because of money and all that, and I tried finding some online stuff but you have to buy all of it. Its gotten to the point where I start hitting, cussing, and for some reason crying? Why do I cry? I don't know.
