So it turns out my roommate's cousin is someone who I shared a class with in grade school, and apparently she's pretty resentful of me because she says I treated her horribly. Honestly I have no memory of her at all because it was like the second grade, but I'm an adult now so I apologized for my behavior. Unfortunately she doesn't think my apology is sincere enough, and has remained bitter. I genuinely do feel bad if she was that hurt by me, but from my perspective this was something that happened fifteen-years-ago. Plus, I think she's sort of created scenarios in her mind over the years that just didn't take place, or at the very least didn't involve me. Should I just let the situation go, or is there something more I could do to try to make peace?

They found out I'm adopted when we did an 8th grade family tree project. This girl has autism, and I know she can be impulsive sometimes. I tried being nice to her, and avoided her. It doesn't work much, she follows me everywhere. That I don't have a "real" family and I've never really known love. My birth mom is a family friend. She was too sick to be a single mom. Thats all! She knew my parents could do better at parenting,because they're healthy enough to do so.

I met my neighbor the day they were moving out. I hung out with them for like an hour while they were cleaning there apt. And when they left we exchanged numbers. I don't know a tun about them. So how could I try and build what I have into friendship?

My best friend has been acting kind of fake lately. She's absent a lot and I always send her all her work and keep her up to date on everything happening in class, and then she ignores those messages. I know she sees them because she does stuff like posting on social media so she's clearly using her phone. Also, there's a girl who randomly started hating me and being really mean and rude to me one day, and my friend said that she didn't like this girl because the girl did drugs and was a very nasty person, but then my friend acts like they are best friends and continues to hang out with her. And my friend is the instigator of these hang outs, so I know that she is not just agreeing to hang out with the girl so that she doesn't seem mean. I don't know what to do because lately is seems like she just isn't a genuine person.

My aunt is inviting her self to a trip my mom and I are taking to Costa Rica to see a friend of ours. My aunt has only met her once, it's a bit annoying but my mom and I don't know how to break it to my aunt that we just want to go ourselves without my aunt throwing a fit and being mad at us. How can we tell her?

There's this girl in my language arts class and we were partnered, and her sleeve went up and I saw a bandaid on her wristand tons of rubber bracelets, she quickly pulled up her sleeve and she was holding onto her arm. I might just be overreacting and i know it could be an accident or something but I know what it's like to self harm and I know how much pain people who do it are in, but I don't jut want to come out and say "Do you cut?" A because it's the most stressful thing in the world and B, I don't want to be wrong. What should I do?

Hola soy un chico de 16 años y quisiera platicar con alguien de mi misma edad...😀

Possible reasons why?

So my best friend Sara is coming into town. She has a bf of over a year now and they're pretty serious. I have another friend named Kolby who's gay who lives in the same town as me and he's friends with Sara to so we're like a trio. Anyways, since Sara is coming into town we'd all planned to hang out. Me and Kolby have another friend named Alex who's straight and was planning on coming to hang out tonight to. Sara hasn't met Alex but knows of him and when she found out Alex was coming she said she couldn't come anymore because Alex is straight and she didn't want to disrespect her bf or make him mad. Like I think that's ridiculous. If she was in a healthy relationship, she should be able to hang out with a group of friends and their be a straight guy there but no she will not come hang out because of Alex being there. I asked her what she is going to do when she's with a group of people in the future and a straight guy shows up, is she going to leave every time? Me and Kolby both think this is beyond stupid and have decided that we're not going to disinvite Alex just because Sara is being difficult. Idk what do you think? We're all 22 so I think she's being super immature and ridiculous.

We broke up and when I tried going back(4 months ago) he said he wouldn't forgive me for saying something about his mom when he said something to mine first(idiotic).I didn't chase him. We ran into eachother one day i expected him to ignore but he smiled and said hi.Now he keeps looking at me, making eye contact and i caught him looking at me sneakily through the door crack. He's started coming out about the same time as I do and he said hi hesitantly and smiling. Today I was going down the stairs and he was behind me. He was "on the phone" saying he was leaving church and would call back which wasn't necessary since church was already over. I feel like he did it so I'd know he was behind me. We walked next to eachother he smiled and said how are you. We had a few exchanges and I asked him about his sick brother. Also why is he on a dating site if it seems hes trying to come back?

By the way i am not ugly and she is not better than me She reminds me all the time that i am a big zero and when i feel bad with my self she tell me that i am realistic And when i feel good with my self she tells me that i am delusional

I am 20 years old male. I care about my looms way too much that I like to admit. After I take bath , I comb my hair and it takes me about 5-10 minutes alone to make myself satisfied that it is perfect. I put cream and shave my face ( all facial hair except eyebrows obviously ). I brush my teeth everytime before I go out and carry pocket perfume with me. I have heard that I am good looking by girls. I'm not a popular guy but I have rejected 4 girls. I have seen hot girls look at me a little more than usual but obviously not all girls thunk I'm good looking. My attitude is pretty bad but. I am pretty rude to girls and call them names like $luts. I have "acted" like an a$$hole for a long time and many girls hate me soo much that when I texted them they told me never to text them again and will report me if I do so but I continue to text them and they rarely reply but never report it even block. I was rude to girls but now I'm going to be normal and not act like a bad guy. I'm good looking ( not hot because my body isn't ripped) but I don't have not even had a single girlfriend. I also wear spectacles and look good with them. My another problem is I look at a girl too much. For example , if I find a girl pretty or hot I look at them a lot but not stare . I just look at the girl , do something else like talk to someone else and then look at her and I keep doing this and never talk to the girl so she probably starts to think I'm creepy. How do I reverse this ?

I met few people on yahoo answers, they answered my questions. We shared couple of emails and suddenly they stopped talking. I have their email addresses. Is it ethically right to send them email to start communication again? They all were girls. I am a guy. Please guide me.

We were online (email friends) only. It's been 11 years now. We were sharing ourselves through emails only. I have her email address, I don't know if it's still active or not? I don't know I should send her email or not? She was married lady that time and she was a mother too. Please guide me.

My best friend goes on tons of different diets and spends a whole day preparing her meals on Sunday with "gluten free" ingredients and "carb- cutting" foods. However, she is a BIG girl, very fat and says she wants to "lose a few pounds" by the summer and feel sexy again. She's not physically active and I've suggested she do more walking or do trials at various gyms to join. Even though she complains every week how she's trying to eat healthy, she refuses to exercise and get moving. I'm very supportive of her - but I also can only go for walks and exercise with her on Sundays when she's busy all day doing meal prep (she works nights and all day Saturday, so that limits her "work out" time). I'm starting to think she maybe she doesn't REALLY want to lose weight and she's just comfortable with her body without making any true healthy changes. What can I say to her?

So i am a decent looking guy and because of that it seems like its easy for me to be-friend girls. I dont really want to get married because then i will have to stick to one girl. i seem to like just having a lot of female friends. But now that i am OLD (30 years old), it seems like all the girls are married and they wont really be my friend because of their husband not liking it. I would talk and hangout with several girls all the time, constantly meeting stranger girls as well. but now its like i have no friends anymore. Of course i could be a 30 year old male and make friends with 18-22 year old girls in college, but would't that be weird because of the age difference. And plus since im 30 years old i will look so much older than that of a 18 year old. I dont really care for making male friends. I started college late and want to do medicine so i wont really be done with college until about 35 years old. So there are always people to meet, but they are so much younger. What should i do?

My friend and I are both upon hard times. I stay with family and my family was nice enough to let my friend stay with us during the cold weather (I live in Chicago). He's 43 and got fired from a job he had 13 years but that was 2 almost 3 years ago and hes had a few temp jobs but quit after not being able to afford the travel expenses with the wages he earned. He doesnt have a resume and i've offered to help but I have my own things going on and he NEVER reminds me. Plus he never goes out looking for a job but claims he fills out applications online. He's always wanted to be with me even before his hard times but he just isnt driven enough for me and I don't see security our future. The cold weather is ending soon and he'll have to find someplace else to stay but seems complacent and is coming up with ideas like "go fund me" and "youtube". My life is being held up by him staying here..I feel like I have a child to care for...But if I put him out I feel guilty...please help!!

guys always go for my friend (guys go for me to but only for sex) we met this guy and he talked to me and my friend. when he was talking to my friend he talks about how beautiful she is and talks about how he wants to marry her. When he is with me he talks about sex and what nasty stuff he wants to do to me. I dont talk about sex with him and never did until he changed the subject and randomly saying he wants to sleep with me. this happens all the time with guys just talk to me cause they want to sleep with me but they treat my friend like a queen. Me and my friend dress exactly the same. We cover up and dont really expose ourselves. my friend can literally say anything and these guys will love it. She texts no different from me ill be talking about life or anything and theyll change the subject to sex out of nowhere i even texted the guy pretending to be her and he was like omg you have a amazing personality but it was me the whole time.

So two of my freinds let's call them Emma and Julia Emma was my bff and I was nice to Julia so when I was supposed to go over to Emma's house I had a fever and stuff so I couldent go but a hour later they sent me a pic on Emma's phone of them hugging and said we are bffs now bcuz your selfish for not coming my other freinds stood up for me and a week later Emma apologized and was really sry we r not bffs anymore but I'm not mad and then Julia never said sorry and called me names now a month later I'm still mad at Julia bcuz it was mostly her being mean so my other freinds are my bffs now and yeah am I overeating?

I've gotten into some pretty big fights with friends over the years. The thing is people have made that claim, but I fail to see how if I care so much for other peoples emotional being. Sure at times I may let things get to me and I may say something quite messed up, but almost instantly regret it and sincerely apologize for it. Because that is not who I truly am is a person nor do I want to be remembered by it. I'd do anything to take back things I may have said or done. I don't blame the person, but know I am pretty f**ked up inside.Whenever arguments have arised I've always tried to deescalate them and resolve whatever is on the table. I guess a perfect example would be if a friend stated they no longer wanted to be friends (for whatever reason). Because I have so very few friends to begin with they mean the world to me and I fight for them. Trying to make friends is incredibly hard. Being an incredibly shy person..when I go out of my comfort zone and try to reach out, but no one is interested....yea....... I care for what little friends I have immensely and don't want to let go.

My life has become dry with no joy and enjoyment...no friends and girls too accept me just as a friend ....What should I do ? How should I come out of this ?

Then they also state their opinions on these classmates.

We broke up and when I tried going back(4 months ago) he said he wouldn't forgive me for saying something about his mom when he said something to mine first(idiotic).I didn't chase him.

In my German class we have a very small class and I only have one friend in it who has this other friend that she just met a couple months ago, when it's us three at a table they always leave me out, every time we have partner work they are always partners and they always talk to the point that the teacher gets upset, they never include me in convos, and when i say what are you talking about? They say it's nothing and continue to talk. Any advice I cannot confront

my friend seems corrupt. Today he made a joke about dead people and I got really offended, but I knew I once did that too when I was in my freshmen year of high school. I was always trying to act tough while staying with my quirky personality but I never realized who extremely rude that was until about a year ago (we're still in high school, I'm a junior in case u got confused). So since no one ever told me anything, I assumed that I was just being cute n innocent, but I was being the opposite. So I didn't want that 2happen 2my friend so I politely told him 2not say that again. he said he'd stop but turns out that he didn't c anything wrong w/ it cuz he asked me y it was bad. I explained n he still didn't get it n wen we got in2 a convo n I found out that his whole life he's always been...in my words, 4 lack of a better word....corrupt. Just 2 paint a better picuture, an example would be this: he laughs @ blood splatter in horror movies. That and he's been exposed 2 stuff like this since he was a toddler, including real corpses. I asked what age this started and when he told me, it shocked me and I showed my shock on my face. (was that a bad idea? I feel like I mad him feel bad and insecure). That n wen he asked me if there was something wrong w/ him, I said, "I would think so but I don't know". Now I'm thinking about it n feel bad 4 saying that but how else would he know that he needs help? Didn't want 2b rude, am I a good frend and can I still say something to reassure him?

My best friend (32 years old) went from having the life everyone dreamed of, to having the life no one wishes upon anyone. She had a very successful career, but put it on hold to care for both of her parents who got diagnosed with terminal cancer within a week of each other; her father passed 3 months ago, her mother beat the cancer. She takes care of all the bills and fully supports her brother who lives in the same house and got into some legal trouble while her father was in hospice. She is fortunate enough to have an employer who continues to pay her even though she hasn't worked in 4 years. But this is the reason she doesn't feel the need to return to work. She was rarely able to leave the house, so I kept her company a lot especially after her father passed, but it has gotten to the point where it is affecting my life now. She asks me to come over almost every single day, calls me in the middle of the night very drunk and crying for her father, calls me at work to express frustrations, etc. For me, this has lead to lack of sleep, loss of other friendships, and not being able to have the daily routine I once did (consistent bedtime, gym, etc.). Oh yeah, she is also my landlord and I live right behind her, so she knows if I am home or not. She has done so much for me and of course I want to be there for her, but I want my own life back and feel SO guilty about. I don't even know what questions to ask at this point. Note: we were friends before she became my landlord.

i alsways game with my friends but it is kinda boring to do that all te time. what do you do with your friends or do tou have any suggestions?

I have been experiencing family conflict ONLY with my older sister. Everytime I stand up to her when it's concerning my 2 kids which is 11 and 13 because she claims to be this loving auntie but never does anything with them and is always complaining of what they don't have rather then giving them praise for making honor roll, winning awards and being in honor classes. Ever since they was born we always stop talking then she start spreading lies to everyone would listen then wanna be my friend after it has die-downed. I don't mind talking to her but being her friend isn't what I'm interested in cuz it just seems like she hate everyone and likes nothing about no one. She be in church talking about how to hate this person and that person. My thing is why would a person wanna be friends with someone she hates? I just want her to be respectful towards my parenting with my kids and for 13 years she still isn't. My brother doesn't even talk to her because of this either. My daughter doesn't like her because of her disrespect and hating spirit towards everyone and never wants to do anything with her. She talks down on everyone she encounters. Everytime I set a boundary she goes over the line. She has no respect for me. So is it possible to mend this relationship?
