It's hard to explain but there is a group of dudes that I grew up with in my neighborhood. We hung out almost everyday when we were kids up until high school. When high school started everything changed because they were football players and I was kind of a dork so they stopped associating with me and actually started bullying me. Then after graduation they started hanging out with me again and they even apologized for being jerks. Recently we all turned 21 and they are starting to act like jerks again out of nowhere. For the most part they broke contact with me again. I ran into them at the bar the other night and they acted like they didn't even know me. Even though we have all been hanging out all the time for the last few years. It sounds weird and stupid because i'm an adult but its been bothering me that people can act like this and feel fine about it.

I really like my crush and wanna be with him so bad and he also feels the same but he's such a player sometimes he flirts with the girls at my job. But he really likes me and the other day he was really trying to talk to me the whole time i knew what he was doing but I avoided him just because of the other night when we were at work and he was talking to a coworker.. I feel bad because he's not my boyfriend and never had a chance.. how to stop ignoring my crush?

My relatives are old or really old. Only 4 of us in total. My friends who I don't have much of I come to feel are really just my "friends" and might not need then no more. I'm 36 and life doesn't get better after this. Am I finally socially dead or about to be?

Okay I'm 18 still in highschool and just focused on graduating right now. I live in the outskirts of the city near the ghetto. I get home from school late and I don't drive. Yet my friend who graduated early, lives in a small town and works full time now. Keeps nagging to me to get a job. It's rude. I'm not going to go get robbed all cause I wanna make 9 dollars an hour.

I have one friend (R) who me and my best friend have been a trio with for a couple years but we added another person into our group (A) and I'm thinking they're starting to have feelings for each other. BUT HERES THE THING we are seniors in high school and if they were to start dating they wouldn't be able to continue their relationship as they are going to college in two different states (Georgia and New York). Not to mention we have 2 months of school left so it's not like they would be able to actually date. Also it would ruin our entire group dynamic because it would make them a couple and then leave me and my best friend out of it and ignored which would honestly break my heart. Not to mention R is supposed to be my friend-prom date (which we've agreed to for at least a year) and my best friend already has a date (and A is bringing her best friend so it's not like she'd be alone either) and chances are if they went to prom together I would be the one completely left out of the loop because I would be the only one of my close friends without a date which is just depressing lemme go cry. So I guess I'm just asking for any advice to confront my friends without making them upset? Is there any way I could gently push them away from each other? I don't want to hurt their feelings but I honestly feel like this is what would be best for the both of them.

Im 23 he is 36. We met at the gym. After having a few conversations at the gym I got his number and we started texting. I told him I iked him and he said he wasnt looking for anything serious. The conversations started PG then escalated quickly he started asking me for pictures and asking me if my nipples were pierced. A week later I told him I wanted to have sex he said come over now, I couldnt, then he tried to set it up for the next day at the time I couldnt do it then either. to make this a little shorter after that convo I tried to set it up twice and he ignored me. I confronted him the next day he said he didnt ignore me just read it and didnt respond and that he'll text me back by the end of the week. today I asked him if he even wanted to have sex with me and no respose. Whats crazy is at they gym he'll still try to go out of his way to talk to me and be nice in my face even though he ignores my texts and stare at me me too. I feel like he is using me for an ego boost. I dont understand why he was with the sex thing at first and now he wont talk about it via text. Should I ignore him. We are friends

Well I'd say I'm pretty over-dramatic so it's hard for me to realise if a reason I'm mad for is really worth it. So, few days ago we were at party for some of our school students, I only went there because she promised that she'll try to spend as much time with me as she can (she has a boyfriend sooo), I believed her as always. Well, I was there for 8 hours and she sat next to me for like 20mins, then spent rest of the time with him and I sat for hours alone. I didn't think she meant 20mins of sitting together and not really talking about anything, I got mad of course. And I don't think she gets why. Maybe I've heard way too many promises which weren't fulfilled so that was like the breaking point, I don't know. I sat alone for ~7 hours, she was my only friend there and I'm not social so I couldn't just go and talk with others, I went there just because I believed her. What do I do, am I just being way too over dramatic

I know it's a really bad thing to fake but sometimes I convince myself that I really am having a panic attack and I tell someone but I'm happy when they are trying to help me

Got a crush on my friend who goes to college near my house. Everytime we hangout she's always laughing at whatever I say like even if it's stupid, she always seems Intrested in our convos, and she likes to do stuff with me like go hiking or get drunk at my house but she always brings another friend of hers who's a girl. But she does show signs that she likes me but it's hard to read like REALLY hard. When I saw her for the first time in months the other day she said I missed you like 3-5 times throughout our convo. Something in my gut is saying to ask her out already but something else is saying don't keep her as a friend you'll make it awkward she doesn't like you. I just need to know if I should keep her as a friend or ask her out.

because I have not see him for a week.. What kind of answer does he expect?

It happens that I was having a discussion with a woman then her profile picture disappeared and her status as well. But her whatsapp name continues appearing for me (I didn't add her to the contacts list, so the name appearing is not the name I saved). So has she only deleted me from her contact list or blocked me?

I wanna visit my friend who I have a crush on at her college campus. I plan on asking her on a date when I visit. So what should I text to say I wanna visit her in a non friendzoneish way

So there's this girl who I've been friends with for three years. Last year she really started to change from the funny and enjoyable person I enjoyed hanging out with. She became extremely girly, like squealing and talking about boys constantly. I could handle it but lately it's gotten worse. She's started to over exaggerate her expressions. What I mean by that is when she's confused she makes little noises and widens her eyes. Or when she is embarrassed she laughs and again makes weird noises. She's also really bad at correcting me on everything I do wrong. She looks up things I say in order to prove me wrong and proceeds to go into detail on why I'm wrong. Because of all this I've tried to gently remove myself my her friendship. I have to interest in hurting her feelings. It seemed to work because she bonded with these other girls but now it seems she thinks we're besties.

There's a guy I see from time to time on campus. I've heard a lot about him from other people so I actually like to get to know him better as a friend and he is very popular and well known. The problem is whenever I walk past him, he only smiles at me and walks the other way. He knows me a bit, even my name because we were both involved in a university event at a stage but we don't know each other personally. Sometimes even if I say hi, he just smiles and stands there, so it feels weird to try and continue or create a conversation. Any advice is appreciated please.

I plan on visiting my friend who I have a crush on in college soon and I wanna go on a date with her. I've liked her for a long time and she shows signs she likes me too so it's up to me as a man to take initiative and make the first move. So after talking and stuff I wanna be like "hey by the way, get ready" and she says get ready for what and I'll reply "I'm taking you out on a date, just me & you, and we're gonna have a good time" OR I can use this line. I'll talk to her then be like "hey what are you doing Saturday" and she says "nothing" and I'll be like "well how would you like to have the time of your life" and she'll probably laugh and be like "how" and I'll say "well I'm going to grant you the honor and the privalege of going on a date with me, did you see all those girls lined up at the door? This might be your only chance" I feel the first line is straight to the point because she likes when a guy takes imitative but the second one does give her a option somewhat which might make her feel more comfortable plus she'll laugh and prolly say yes. WHICH LINE SOUNDS BETTER (by the way I don't know if she likes me I'm just testing my luck)

I'm an 18 yo law student. I recently signed up to do some charity work for my native country. My position in this charity requires me to travel back and forth on the weekends. My bestfriend and I haven't been able to connect much because of my commitments. A few months ago I told her I sometimes have to travel on the weekends because of certain projects, however my travels also include a health treatment I wanna keep private and away from friends. I really don't want to tell anyone things I'm not willing to talk about, and I frankly don't think I owe people an explanation as to why I do certain things to keep a friendship with them. But I recently noticed that she unfriended/unfollowed me in a few social media platforms. I'm not mad and never was but I was shocked and don't understand. Someone help me fix this without giving away my private concerns.

I'm friends with this guy and we're always making bets. I finally won against him! I want to get him good since he normally beats me in bets so I need ideas. Nothing inappropriate we're both 16.

How do I start this off... Well, I have some really bad friends that don't even notice if I'm gone or not. They often talk **** about me and never talks to me. They leave me out of everything and I can't talk to them about anything I like as they don't share the same interests as me. I've decided to stop torturing myself by sitting around them during lunch and have just decided to sit alone. But I've been wondering where I should go. My school is closed campus, and you need to stay in the school. the teacher's classrooms are usually full of students/a group of friends and are sometimes closed, the cafeteria is small and full of loud and noisy people, the library is also small and crowded with people-- they arr extremely loud. I have no idea where to go during lunch and I'm freaking out a bit because of my social anxiety. If anyone could give me some advice I'd appreciate it!!

There's a girl I made friends with from a church group. I've never been mean to her, but why is she being mean to me? Do you all agree with my parents that the thing she has said to weren't very nice. She said I can't get a boyfriend because I'm too innocent and naive. She has said to me a million times already. If someone said that you, how would you respond? Another time when I went out with her and a few friends, she made fun of me and said, "Oh you can see marriage is all over her face!" When my parents met her, they could tell she's not a nice person. They think she's kind of aggressive on the side and isn't afraid to speak her mind. Plus, they said she dresses hippie compared to me. I asked my parents how I dress. They said I dress conservative and I have the exotic look compared to her. What are your opinions? I want to know.

I've been friends with this guy for two years. He was always so nice and loving towards me but he recently started hooking up with a girl. Now, he is rude to me every time that she is around and I'm sick of it. I do not want to be friends with him anymore. Whenever I ignore him, he always asks me what's wrong or if I want to talk. I'm done with that. No, I don't want to talk and I don't want to be his friend anymore. I honestly want nothing more to do with him. How can I rid myself from this toxic mess?! I'm sick of him and his stupid games. He doesn't deserve me or my friendship.

He is having his tonsils removed and I did research on the types of food he can have and stuff and his mom is going to be there and I've never met her what should I bring them, like crosswords while they wait and pudding? What else or are those ideas not suitable? Any ideas are helpful thanks :-)

I just can't socialize well with new people. I don't think my social skills are bad, but it just seems like I repel people. Maybe I'm bad at conveying that I'm interested in someone or something. I guess I don't really engage people all that well. Plus, I find talking to new people extremely difficult. I just don't have the energy to engage people. It's always just "hi, nice weather we're having" and I just can't think of anything else to say, nor do I have the energy to say it. I guess I hate starting conversations because they feel like huge chores and commitments to me rather than something enjoyable like how normal people see them. Once I am forced into a conversation, I can talk fine, but despite that I can't talk or engage people, hence I can't make friends. At my work, I find it extremely difficult to get to know my coworkers. I'm also in a club at university, but I constantly feel left out of the clique and struggle connecting with them. I only have two friends who I've known for 8 years, and I feel like we're growing apart as it is. What should I do?

Which one show that you were happier about meeting the individual? which one is more formal? or do they mean the same thing?

So I don't get it but everyone calls me a selfish prick because i ask my best friend for help to get me to places to film. I asked my best friend steve to take me to atlanta to go film some elevators and people are calling me a jerk. I got mad because my friend didn't want to go into a place when I was only a few feet away. One of the entrances was keycarded off and so we just have to go through the main entrance and my friend didn't want to do it. He made me skip places and people called a selfish inconsiderate prick. They said your friend has a darn job interview on monday and he needs to get back home in time to go to the interview which is 5 hours away and you give him a hard time and treat him like trash. They said to me all you care is about yourself when your friend nicely explains to you that he will soon have a job and can't go often with you to places and you also give him a hard time with that. They told me that I need to get my drivers license because people ain't gonna be able to drive you to places. My friend andy told me you are driving everyone insane with your obsession with elevators and your pushing people away and you won't stop it. I don't get what is so wrong about asking for help to go to places. I am mad at him because I was only a few feet away from the entrance and he didn't want to go in because he wanted to go home. I should have made him stand outside and wait for me. Why does everyone call me selfish for wanting to go filming ? People said my hobby is pointless and stupid and that I am too lazy to get a job. Why do they call it stupid and pointless for ?

recently started at a new school. Some of the kids have been pretty nice I guess but recently a few of them cornered me and dunked my head in the toilet, flushing it repeatedly while they had a good laugh. They told me I would be cool if I did it. I am wondering - do you think this is a good way to fit in and be part of the cool crowd, or could this be considered a form of bullying?

So last Friday night, i went to a friends house to play smash, and kick his *** as yoshi. but these two girls who i guess knew quite well, came to the house and they started chilling on the trampoline with two of my other friends, after a while we went to go check on them, and once we came out both girls were just in bra. We were both kinda shocked, but the whole situation turned into this really sexual truth or dare. I really enjoyed it, but slightly regret it. How do i increase the chances of it happening again? And how do I become more mature and less worried about what happened. (No one lost their vvirginity, the worst that happened was **** being flashed.)

So, I try my best to be nice to people as much as I can. Like legit, I try not to curse or even say a bad word. Recently, however, there s word going around that I m a mean person and that I have no friends, and like, I don t understand what to do when literally I ve been trying not to get rumors like that spread about me. I m Korean and my school has a really big Korean population, and they re all pretty good at making stuff up, and I m trying to ignore the rumors and try to get over it because I know they re just doing it because they don t have anything else to say but I m like, obsessed over these things so how do I get rid of these rumors and get a better reputation at school? Thank you.
