I snooped through one of my friends phone and I regret it entirely. I came clean because I felt guilty and then my friend became mad at me. The same friend told all of my friends about what happened and managed to get my entire friend group mad at me. I desperately made a new friend and then my friend group got even more mad because I didn't tell them about this friend. They were my best friends and now they hate me. They said I'm a toxic lying friend and that I've always been annoying. We got into a huge argument and I've been glaring at them when ever I run into them. now I don't know if they will ever accept my apology because I've gone to far with the whole grudge thing. I barely have any other friends And I am feeling lonely and sad. What should I do? Apologize? Try to move on? And if so how?

So all my life, I've always hung out with kids that were pretty academically gifted. It was never much of a problem for me up until 11th grade, which is the year when pretty much everything counts and everyone is looking at potential colleges they're interested in and all. I'm an extremely hardworking student but my efforts don't seem to be getting me as far as most of my friends are. I love them all but hanging around them makes me feel so inferior. I feel like I'm always two steps behind them and it hurts sometimes. I got a 1100 on my SAT. I have a friend that got a perfect 1600. I got a 3 on my AP World History exam. Most friends all got a 4 and one got a 5. I have a 3.6 UW GPA. They all have a 3.8 and up. I'm horrible at math. None of them are bad at math. I'm juggling 4 AP classes classes, a sport, and some other extracurriculars and I'm at my breaking point now. Most of my friends are juggling way more than me and they're completely fine, they might comment on being stressed every now and then. Don't get me wrong, I love hearing about all of my friends and their achievements but at the same time, it makes me feel so stupid knowing that I'm just not mentally capable enough to be at their level. How do I build up my self esteem?

1. He used to look at my lips whenever we had a deep conversation. What does this mean? 2. He caught me naked after having a shower the once and wouldn't let me put underwear on just carried on talking and then afterwards acted shaken to his girlfriend we all lived together but was always weird acting if I ever nearly saw him naked. 3. Used to try and control when I had my girlfriend round or when she had to leave if she wasn't stopping over. And always felt the need to intrude in my personal space when she was there but had any other time to talk to me because we lived together. 4. He listened in the once on me and my girlfriend having sex st my bedroom door and admitted it to me. This was after I over came some personal barriers myself and he tried to help me but the way he said he was going to help me was by giving me lessons which I thought was very strange.

Yes. I know. Its a very weird question but I have those types of 'friends'. I have this friend that helps me out a lot and she's definitely NOT selfish. Like if you're in a group work with her in school she prefers to take in account the other members of the group opinion than her. She's tolerant. But she wants to be the best in all and be better than everyone else and she can easily betray you .This other friend is way more matture but is not tolerant. She gets mad so easily and she says things uhm like.. is very wrong to do this or that but she does it all the time. But she's very funny and have a lot of friends. I know I can trust in her. But when I need help I just know she would not help me just sometimes. If I ask her to explain me something she would just tell me oh ask another person or I don't understand. One day I did the same thing to her. Not help her and she just complain about me and she would tell me everything she thinks about me no matter if it will hurt me or not. My other friend NEVER complains about me. So.. which friend should I consider my friend? Please tell me don't writebsomething like neither. Just choose one

I'm a 22 year old guy and I have a really close guy friend from work. We met in November and we became bestfriends, we talk all day everyday, we hangout all the time and we know everything about our personal lifes. Is it weird to be so close with another guy????? I've never had a friend this close before Some people even think we are gay but we are NOT !!!!

These 3 girls feed off of drama and continue to harass a friend of mine, which has been also affecting our group of friends because they will harass whoever gets in their way. Her mother has gone to the office multiple times and the most they have done is suspended one of the girls for a day or two, but they continue to harass her/us. It could end up being physical and it hurts me seeing it happen. What should she do? They have threatened her multiple times so could the cops get involved?

My parents would say "Go to school, focus on school, you don t need friends because you have a family." Did terrible in school, I barely graduated with a 1.65 GPA. Had to spend the last few months of school doing computer classes to get it done, in turn sacrificed the time to hang out with little...and i mean little group of friends only had 3. Which in time they became a couple. Then had this rule where She can t have guy friends, and he can t have girlfriends, and considering I am a guy...we ended up not being friends anymore. So all I have is family. Family is not a family, we are broken, mom wants me to pay for everything for myself i pay 1160 a month to live at home, while babysitting my baby brother from 6am to 5pm or 4pm because sometimes i worked at 5 to 10 or 8pm to 4am at a fast food place. So there was no time for school, He is 5 now and about to start kindergarden, I want to start school, but im already in 900 $ in debt because car keeps needing to be fixed and plus insurance, and paying for electricity bill because "You use the Internet so you pay for it." At this rate i m going to be stuck with no education. In a town that is small and the only jobs around are franchise owned fast food and warehouse jobs. I m just starting to wonder, these thoughts in my head. Is it Worth living anymore? I have no friends, I have no family, I have no education, i m just wasting space at this point. Is it worth living anymore?

A heart that says dream girl inside of it.

I keep having the same argument with my friend, their white, English, they aren't tanned or anything but their bitmoji is black. I asked why because at first I thought they were someone else and they said they don't see what's wrong with it. I don't know whether I'm just overreacting but I think this is kinda weird...

I came from 5th period p.e today and then as I went to the locker room to change I went to the bathroom to fix my hair. Then I went to my next class next thing you know my friend calls me and says someone says you stole their phone and wants to fight(jump you ) and I talked to the person over the phone he was angry talking bout they saw me come from the bathroom and stuff and the phone case was in the bathroom so they accused me some how and I think he wants to fight me but I don't want to sound pussy and he's like a sophomore or jr he is skinny and tall around 6 ft and I'm 5,6 but tmmr is fsa test and I don't want to be worrying but he won't believe me when I said I didn't steal the phone can I get some advice ik I might just have to fight

Is it selfish if you only want to forgive someone who has wronged you in hopes of getting them and their friends to like you more? Admittedly years ago I've only wanted to forgive a girl who I've had a crush on for shunning/rejecting me on Facebook so I can get my past friends/acquaintances to like me more and for them to see what a great guy I am, unfortunately things didn't go the way I've hoped that it would and I've felt hurt & depressed by it. Then I've decided to forgive my crush and other friends for shunning/rejecting me because I want to have close friendships with these people in Heaven because I was likely never gonna have close friendships with them here on Earth because of my learning disability and me being a "lesser" person. I really wanted to have lots of friends and to do lots of fun & exciting things with them but they didn't feel the same about me. In the end I've realized that these people did serve a purpose in my life which is to stay in school and graduate and they probably want to remember the person I was in school and leave that image in their heads.

So someone I was talking to on Facebook for a few months randomly blocked me a month ago. She messaged me this morning out of the blue. This is what she said: "I am sorry for blocking you without saying anything, I just can't be a good friend to anyone and it's not fair, I thought you should have a message on why I did it" I have shown this person that I care about her. I want nothing but the best for her but I did NOTHING to deserve being randomly blocked. You want friends so the last thing you should be doing is blocking the people who try to show they care. I'm a bit mad and hurt over this. I told her that while she was decent enough to reach out to me, that I did nothing wrong. That me caring about her became too much. She has a lot of different issues that I can't "fix" for her. I have had several conversations with her about making changes in her life. I do worry about her because she makes poor choices, but there is not much more I can do. I've done everything I possibly can. Is it wrong that I'd rather not associate with her anymore?

Hi:) I have a bestfriend. Her and I have been bestfriends for almost 2 years. (But We've known each other a long Time) We've never been in fights, we always talk every single Day. Then last Friday, Everything was fine at first, But Then She wouldnt talk to me and walked away if I walked up to her. When I went home I snapped her, But She didnt respond. I didnt Think much of it, She was out of town. But Then She ignored My snaps on saturday+sunday. I kept texting her, But She just ignored it. I was sick Today so I didnt have to face her in School. When I went on Snapchat, I scrolled Down to her Previous account, and it had blocked me. (She Got a new one a while ago, because there was something on the old was She was scared was gonna Come out) and we had talked about that thing on her old one a lot of times. (On chat) and now she has blocked Me on there, so I Cant view our old messeges. I know how She thinks, so I know She did that, because She doesnt want to talk to me and she's Scared I'm gonna tell People about that thing. I feel so lost. In my class, everybody has a bestfriend and if you dont, You're gonna feel like the thirdwheel, No matter who you go to. So I am very scared about a class trip We're going on in May (that lasts 5 days) Because, I used to have a Great group of friends (Me, Her, her sis and 2 other Girls) But now, because she's The popular Girl, they'll all take her side No matter What, so I wont have anyone to hang out with anymore+on that trip. Advice?:)

We was speaking at all the way about satanism and how we worship satan and that this could not be judge by society and many other things And everyone at the bus was hearing us and when we arrived at our destination everyone turned and look at us.....why

This is not a matter of tolerance. Most substances just don t work anymore... Could it be as a result of a cardiovascular problem?

My best friends aren't in my class, but I do have some good friends there, so I thought I'd be fine. However, I feel extremely hurt all the time when they subtly shift their chatting group over or close it off, excluding me or give each other meaningful glances when deciding who would have to end up sitting by me. They aren't mean people - they are quite friendly and probably don't realise that they are excluding me. However, I'm not stupid and I can see that even if they consider me a friend, they consider me not part of their group. I don't want to be the only person not in their conversations, especially since aside from the hurt, I look a bit pathetic standing by myself and I feel terrible until recess, when I can see my best friends. They don't care to be more than friendly-civil to me no matter what I do and I have to be in their class for the rest of the year. How do I avoid exclusion?

I'm having a small and very intimate wedding for many reasons. My fiancé and I are inviting 15-20 (not a separate count. all together) of our closest people. There are no big issues between my brothers and I, however we just aren't that close. I don't believe in people feeling entitled or obligated, but I don't want to be mean or come off as if I have something against them. I could invite them, I would just prefer my two favorite cousins over them. My brothers and I are not close in age and I simply just don't LOVE or crave being around either of them. I don't even attempt to hang out with them when I travel back home. Again, no hate or issues between us we just aren't close. Should I invite them because we're brothers or do whatever I want?

I'm a pretty girl and all the males I've been "friends" with have tried pursuing me in one way or another. I have had to cut off all my past male friends. Any ideas?

this guy has a few toddlers, and i apparently have the same interests as his little girls. i've never met them before but he keeps insisting his kids would absolutely love me. does he see me as a daughter maybe or a potential babysitter? i am so confused.

So, I have this one friend, let's call her person A. She's known to be kind of a *****. I am known to be a really sweet person, at least that's what I have made people to believe, haha. Anyway, today she was bitching on her snapchat story about something that happened. I always ask people "What happened??" if they need to rant. I asked the same thing to her, "What happened?" She replied with "None of your business." which, I agree with. It's none of my business, I'm just trying to see if she needed to rant. She knows this, too. I replied with a simple "Okay" as to not push the subject any further, implying that I agreed with her previous statement. She responded to my one-worded answer with "Not everything in your life needs to be an over dramatic gossip story," to which Ii replied "I know, I'm just giving you an opportunity to rant if you need it." She left me on opened, which is totally fine by me, it just pissed me off. Now, I will admit this: I can be dramatic some times. In the past, I was being dramatic about my ex, and some of my best friends that I had lost my friendship with, but in all honesty, I don't think I was. That's another story, though. Anyway, my final question: Was I being reasonable? Should I have not tried to let her rant to me? P.S., sorry if none of this makes sense

I have this friend who isn't really my friend. We have known each other since 3rd grade and we're both high school sophomores now. I now take all my classes online but he goes to regular school. He's an idiot. He has ZERO common sense. He doesn't care about anyone else's opinions, he thinks his opinion is fact and everyone should feel that way. So I basically have to play along with everything he says otherwise we don't stop arguing. And he wonders why none of our other friends ever invite him over. He wants to be a neurosurgeon but I know that's never going to happen. He is good academically, but again he just has no common sense. I don't even know how to explain it. If I try to tell him something that would make sense to a normal person, he thinks it's wrong and when I tell him to look it up, he refuses because he knows he's wrong. He thinks he can beat me up just because he's bigger (which it's all fat) we spar/wrestle sometimes and I could always pin him down and I could tell that he's trying, but when I let him get up he just says "I wasn't trying" cause he's scared to lose to someone smaller than him. If ANYBODY smaller than him talks sh*t he wants to fight them, but if someone his own size messes with him he backs down like a little girl. Anyway, how do I quit hanging out with him? Do I just block his number and never talk to him again? But then I don't want him showing up at my house. Should I text him and tell him we aren't friends anymore? What should I do?

I'm a 14 year old freshman. My friend is 18 and is a senior. My boyfriend is her age, he's absolutely gorgeous and so sweet! We've been fighting for days over this- she DOESN'T like me dating him! She probably just doesn't want me at her prom as his date, because it's a senior thing. Prom is a big deal, and when it's a big deal, people want it to be perfect. Having someone much younger around isn't their idea of greatness. I sort of thought that she didn't take me as seriously just cause I'm a 9th grader 🙄. She is fighting really hard to convince me not to go on a real date, and I don't think she's gonna stop any time soon. By really hard, she doesn't care how mad I am or if my parents might punish me. If I'm grounded for the whole summer, it's way better than dating him (in her mind).

The more you familiarize yourself with someone, the more you will see the sadness of their reality. It is quite pitiful to see those kids in Africa digging in the mud for diamonds, to see the those factory slaves in Asia working in brutal sweatshops, The families who commit suicide together in Syria when they hear the airstrikes outside their home. But what about our cases? "The life of every individual" says Schopenhauer, "viewed as a whole and in general is really a tragedy" Some of us have a detestable job with ignorant coworkers and arrogant clients. Some of us live our life with abusive people in our homes. Some of us sleep with abusive people. Some deal with their aging parents Others with their difficult kids If we move on to the more affluent people, we see their life is no exception. A son or daughter shames their entire family. The mother cries, the father holds his head in despair. An ambitious businessman plots against his partner A husband sleeps with a secretary, or associate, or babysitter, etc. "Leave your wife" she says "I can't..." he replies An investor loses a ton of money in failed project. Divorce Bankruptcy Theft Lying Angry clients Angry family Manipulative girlfriend Aggressive boyfriend Abusive boss Cruel coworkers etc... And even more... Our hair turns grey, our faces look uglier, penises droop, breasts sag, 'It takes the whole of life to learn how to live" says Seneca. How is your life miserable? What have you done?

They never wanna hang out or do anything outside of class. I call and text them and they never answer. I even make suggestions about going out to eat, to the movies, going shopping or just going over each other's house and they never text/call back. It's starting to annoy me now and I honestly think it's the best thing. Maybe even look for new people to be with.

I asked this guy to unfollow me and I unfollowed him because I'm mad at him. Yet it's almost a week later and he still hasn't. And my account isn't even private.

I've always wanted to haves friends. But I'm too afraid of asking my friends out sometimes because in the past I remember always trying to get them to hang out with me but would always make shitty excuses or not reply, which is the reason why I don't ask them out too much. I don't wan to start annoying them or making myself sound like a ******* idiot. Is there anything I'm doing wrong? Should I be more specific? How can I ask them out without them easily rejecting the idea? I'm really a friendly, mature, I feel like I deserve friends. I just don't know what I'm doing wrong. It's so hard finding people who actually want to hang out with me when they never seem to want to hang out with me but yet are too afraid to straight up tell me. I try not to be too desperate or needy since I have other things to do in my life and I try not to dwell too much into friendship. But sometimes I get so angry and jealous that other people are hanging out so easily I'm wondering what the hell is wrong with me? I try to be the best version of myself. Should I just start being a misanthrope douchcebag and not talk to people? Or should I give them another chance?

We've known each other a total of 15 years, as he used to my brother's friend. Strangely enough, they don't talk anymore although my brother has no idea what's been going on. This guy was my first big crush/obsession when I was 11. We didn't become friends until October 2016, but we weren't close. I developed feelings for him again at my 27th birthday party in January. We began talking everyday, I was his confidant as he was brokenhearted over a girl he thought he had fallen for. They used to be FWB, too. I confessed my feelings to him, he said he liked what we were, but we somehow agreed to be FWB. Last year, we only had sex 4 times. The last time was just before Halloween and the condom broke. He got me Plan B, but kept asking if I was SURE I hadn't slept with anybody else since we started sleeping together. He forced me to get tested with him, we both were clean, but that wasn't good enough for him. He started harassing the crap out of me trying to get me to confess to sleeping with somebody else, but obviously that wasn't true. I got fed up with it, cut ties with him. Ever since, he's been worming his way back into my life by getting in touch with me any way he can. I decide to be friends with him again, I get mad and block him and then I end up unblocking him again because I enjoy his attention. He began telling me how much he misses me, how he "maybe" likes me, how he has SOME feelings for me and is attached to me. I've been REALLY horny the last few days so I got drunk last night and had him come pick me up and we parked somewhere and had sex. I know I used him, but he was likely using me as well. He tells me all the time how nobody wants him and nobody is interested in him, so basically implying I'm his only chance at having sex right now. I just wanted to get it out of my system one last time, but I don't feel attached anymore or anything. It's been a while since I felt that for him. I'm thinking of blocking him again. Is it wrong that I used him? I don't want to date him, he doesn't want to date me. I used to want to date him, but he is too toxic and there's just something about me that he's not romantically interested in.

I'm a 13 years old girl. I want to be like those people who are like mini older kids, and might come off as sassy or sarcastic . They imitate the older grades through wearing make-up, crop tops, and showing everyone that they're on the top ladder. They either like you or hate you. I've never been popular before. I'm always in the background. In 9th grade next year, I have the chance. How do i become one of them?

I made a lip balm cozy. (Significant in that it was my first knitting "project".) And I did my taxes myself for the first time ever.
