Is it a lesbian crush, obsession or do you think I just really admire and like her as a friend only? I'm being obsessed over someone who I shared a brief friendship with during my childhood years. When i was in 5th grade there's a university student who worked as a volunteer at my primary school temporary. She works with me every week in my class. At that time i was only a 10 year old child and she is a 20 year old women. I don't even know why I get attracted to an adult. She's a nice and friendly person, I immediately warm up to her since the first day I met her. We talked together regularly at class and I really enjoy her company. After I left primary school, we didn't see each other again. A few year later, I attempted to reconnect with her via email. She was happy to hear from me again at the beginning but after awhile I tried to message her again for a few more times over the course of several days and she will only give shorts replies and never initiates a conversation. Although she still reply to my message, but I sensed she is no longer interested to maintain contact with me anymore and she's only replying to my message just to be polite. From then on, I got the hint and stopped contacting her again. Now it's been more than 9 years since I last heard from her, but I still think of her from time time? How can I move on and stop being fixating on a person who is long gone from my life.

A year ago I started hanging out with a girl who had graduated from the same university program as me. I think the friendship developed out of mutual post-grad loneliness & the fact that she was a familiar face in a new city. Now a year later after getting to know her, I have discovered we have nothing in common beyond our education, and that she has an awful personality (chronic liar, selfish, constantly bragging etc.) that is very hard to be around. On top of that I don't drink (for medical reasons), and she little interest in activities that don't involve alcohol. The problem is she calls me her "best friend" and texts me asking to hang out every day. I really don't enjoy spending time with her anymore, but sadly I think I'm the only friend she has. How do I peel myself away from her without being mean?? I've tried giving delayed, shorter responses to her constant texts but she doesn't seem to be getting the hint.

She's three years older. I'm 19. It seems like I'm just not as mature and it bugs me that seems more experienced in life, but she seems totally okay with that, although shell tease me sometimes for being naive. Man, I seriously don't like this feeling I get.

So this girl that went to my high school goes to ucf and has always been super involved in marketing and advertisement. I see that she's successesding very much and it's super inspiring to me. I never spoke to her so I doubt she knows who I am but I just want some advice from her. I requested her on Instagram about a week ago and she hasn't accepted it yet so I just wanted to dm her to see if she'll accept it and respond. But I don't want to seem creepy. Any help?

I've been feeling a bit insecure about my social life in college these past few days, and I'm not sure what to do about it. At the beginning of the year, I was feeling very alone—I'm naturally shy, and, spare my boyfriend whom I started dating immediately, I didn't really have any friends. I decided to put myself out there a bit—I joined some clubs, joined a sports team, and started talking to the people in my dorm more. From that, I made a lot of friends—I have one very close friend from my dorm, and a bunch of less close but still good friends from my dorm and from my team. Still, it feels like my friends have a lot more friends than I do, or are closer to other people than they are to me. That sometimes leaves me feeling lonely. For example, some nights, when my close friends are busy and my boyfriend is eating with his friends, I end up eating alone, which is pretty depressing. Sure I have people to eat with some nights and friends to go out with, but I want to expand my social circle to eliminate my loneliness. I don't know how to do this though. At the beginning of the year, it was easy—there were clubs to join and new people in my dorm to meet, plus everyone was looking for friends. But now that the year is almost over and most people have solidified their friend groups, I'm not sure how else to make new friends. Any advice? Thank you :)

I was a happy kid and now I am not. I was born in Europe, made friends, had relatives, had fun. Then I moved to U.S. when I was 10 years old. Lost my friends and relatives, only me and my parents. But that was fine, I could handle that, it wasn't that big of a deal. I was actually kinda interested in seeing how other people live. I went to an Elementary School and some of my friends from there went to the same Middle School I went to. So everything was fine for about 4 years. Then I got into High School and none of my friends went to my High School. So I lost all of my friends, again. But I was a very brave kid and didn't let any obstacle get in front of me. So I made friends again. By the way throughout those 4 years I was the best student in those schools, I was skilled at sports and I was very smart. So then In High School I was Varsity in Swimming, Tennis and Soccer. I was in a lot of Clubs. My Projects were above and beyond. After 2 years in that High School my parents decided to move to a different city in a different state. My opinion didn't matter and again I lost all of my friends. At this point I lost myself, I haven't seen my relatives for a long time, I was the only student out of every school that made people smile and laugh while I was pretending to be happy. So I made friends again. And then after those 2 years my friends went of to college while my parents told me they can't afford college. So I lost my friends again. I want to kill myself.

She got one of her friends to try to talk to me about something very important. She already promised me a month or two ago she wasn't pregnant. She is on the pill and I used a condom (didn't break) and she has had her period after that. My mom/family and friends are aware of this. They believe she just wants to get me back as a boyfriend or just a friend. The reason why we broke up was because she treated my friends poorly and was rude to them. Plus she cost her best friend thousands of dollars out of money. PLEASE help me. What do you think the situation is???

I am part of a group of work friends (4 ladies). I was particularly close with one of them, with whom I had a fallout. I was recovering from a minor surgery, she visited me, and sort of made me run around and do errands while she sat and tapped away on her laptop. This brought out some irritation I was feeling towards her for months and I told her so in a nice way. She walked out claiming my face looked "full of rage". I tried to talk to her after my recovery, but we did not patch it up. The current problem is, her birthday is coming along and the group wants to throw her a small celebration. I don t mind being a part of it. But a) I do not want to spend too much on someone who did not give a damn when I was recovering from a surgery b) might not want to be at the celebration. I tried discussing this with a common friend, but she seemed uncomfortable with figuring things out. Now I am worried I am alienating my other friends too, by discussing this. What do I do to make this all right? (I don t mind not being friends with the first girl, but I am wondering if I am making other friends see me in a bad light). PS: I never said anything bad about this girl to the other friend. I just told we had a fallout and I wonder whether things might be uncomfortable in group gatherings.

Okay so recently she has been neglecting me and my other best friend because she got a new boyfriend. Everytime she gets a new boyfriend, she ditches us for him and doesn't care enough to hang out with us. Also, she talks behind our backs to everyone and is fake to us in front of our faces. i know the obvious answer is to get away but we were a trio and so close and we do everything together so that would just leave me with like 3 close friends. what should i do?

Everyone seems like their uptight and get offended easily maybe it's just me?

Ive been really interested in this girl Ashley, and in January we began going out. But she told me she wanted us to take our relationship slow because of a lot of personal problems in her life. Mostly because her ex cheated on her, so she wanted we to give her time and I agreed. We would still hangout, but 2 days ago everything ended between us because there was drama between Me, Her and another guy. She told me through a text that she doesn't want to talk to anyone anymore and she wants to be alone because she enjoys it. I haven't messaged her at all because I don't know what to say. I'm in love with this girl, and I don't want to walk away. What should I doo????? Please help??? The other guy was causing drama and I confronted him soo she wasn't too happy

We used to talk 24/7 and stopped but he wants things to be fixed or whatever and so did I. He literally texts me first everyday and when I answer he leaves me on open and then comes back with an excuse hours later about how he was busy, when he was clearly on social media. Then I answer and it happens all over again. This happens all the time so it's getting annoying. What should I do?

So i have a friend who is bipolar. She is super nice but i dont think she trusts me completely. I know that the fact that we have have never met in real life might be the reason for not trusting me (we are friends over the internet). By not trusting me, i mean that she does not talk about her problems with me. She either say "its private" or something like "just leave it". But i really want to hear her problems. And the thing is that i dont like asking about her problems over and over again (because she might not like it). Any tips on how to gain her trust? Please only serious answers

When ever I make a suggestion about anything from hanging out or just walking home together my friend always asks me if I am sure? Is this a polite way of saying "You're annoying me"?

I've been friends for 2+ years with most of them and they always make me mad on purpose to ammuse them because I get mad easily and take life too seriously. What do I do? Example: They Like To Steal My Phone

I have always tried my best in school. I entered a state school for pre-med and couldn't do well enough to go to med school. So, I switched to pre-law. The worst part of it was, if I applied to an Ivy League school for pre-law, I'm sure I would've gotten in. It's after finishing my bachelors that I decided to go to accounting (mba). Just to see that after graduating there's no money. Now, I'm stuck in a job with no money. And may go back to school. The worst part of it is whenever I go through school stress my body physically becomes weak to the point that I need to wear braces on both my wrists and struggle with day to day activities

So I was at school and we were doing a group project and afterwards my friend named jasmine told me that someone at her group was slacking off named Jonah. Then after school I told Jonah what jasmine said to him and Jonah said that he's going to confront her tomorrow and I'm really worried because jasmine is my best friend and if Jonah confronts her jasmine will hate me forever. Please help!! I already told Jonah not to tell but he said he will tell.

I'm 13, and my mom has a problem with my friends. ALL of them. And my friends aren't even bad influences or anything. She calls my best friend a slut and she says my friends are all liars and I have terrible taste in people and my boyfriend sounds like "trailer park trash" (she read our texts) But he doesn't, and she hasn't even met him. Any time i bring up one of my friends in a conversation or a story my mom will roll her eyes or make some snooty remark. I'm not allowed to go to any of my friends houses and none of them are allowed to come to mine. I'm not exaggerating either, she hates ALL of my friends. They are all nice and normal and some of them she hasn't even had a full conversation with. What do I do??? Just live my life without friends??

I have a friend, and lately I've felt like they aren't interested in hanging out with me, but I really like them. I really need to tell them how I'm feeling and that they don't need to talk with me if they don't want to, because I don't want to just stop talking to them. I also don't want to come off as rude or like I'm guilt tripping them by saying "if you don't want to be my friend I'll be sad" or something like that. I just want them to understand how I feel without coming off as rude. I also need to tell them. Any ideas?

So I've been detaching from her for a lot of this year, i think. It's hard to be around someone who is clinging to a friendship but I tried to stick this year out because i didn't want the drama. She's talked about being abandoned for years by a friend a long time ago and it's made me feel obligated to stay with her. She did everything I did and I was afraid to say anything that would offend her or make her feel bad. Has anyone had an experience like this? She's in a lot of the classes and clubs I'm in (even tried joining some solely because I was in them) and this friendship is worn I think. I still care about her of course and want the best for her, but I don't want to be best friends forever.

Guy 1 does these: - glances at me when i'm drinking water - glances when I'm not looking across the classroom constantly - constantly stretches his feet towards me as I sit opposite him and invades my personal space - as I was walking to another guy sitting in between us, he was leaning forward to make it obvious for me to see - smiled at me one time another guy pulled a chair for me - makes eye contact with me but doesn't look away - stood super close to me (sleeves touching) for 15 mins during a presentation - waited for me while talking to another dude as I sign in for attendance after class - he was standing up while everyone was sitting and we looked up towards him but he only made eye contact with me - points his feet towards me constantly Guy 2 does these: - pulls a chair for me - opens the door for me till I walk through it constantly - apologized to me when his friend interrupted our conversation while we were working on our project - smiles at me when sees me as he was talking to another guy - cares for me like asking me to sit when another guy was standing too but never bothered to tell him to sit

My friend is 16 and lives in another state to me. She is in an abusive household, her parents don't give her the medical care she needs and deny her help for her mental problems. They verbally and emotionally attack her and she has wanted to kill herself because of them. Her school is **** too, and she has no other people to confide in than me. She has increasingly talked about running away and I said that if it comes to that she of course has a place with me in my house. That said, I want to make sure I'm prepared. We know how she would get here and everything. But I want to make sure that I'm not missing anything, cause it's reaching a boiling point and I'm seriously afraid something is gonna happen to her. Either her parents will hurt her or she will seriously hurt herself, so it's likely that if she's gonna leave it will be soon. Help? Please?

Hi, i really need help. my friend annoys everyone around her and is really agitating. i talk to other people about it and they feel the same way. when i'm not around her, i start to feel bad for whatever is wrong with her, but then, when i'm around her i get really upset and agitated. one weird issue i noticed is when we're at lunch at school, she eats very large amounts of food and tries to steal other people's food from their lunch and then right after she feels bad about herself and how much she ate. i talked about this w/ my older sister and she thinks it's possible that she may have an eating disorder. my friend has a weird home life and has lots of anger issues. i try to be there for her and be kind to her, but it's just too much— and everyone feels this way about her. she keeps losing friends and always asks why she is losing them. she has this weird stare that makes a lot of people feel uncomfortable. what are some possibilities for all of these weird things? like i know this sounds weird but what do you guys think could be wrong with her?

My parents come from Asia, so they're traditional. They consider sleeping over "overstaying your welcome", however, the person who invited me decided all together it was fine. They also say, "Why do you need to be at someone else's house to be happy" and other things like that. The real reason I want to go is because I'll feel excluded, like I'm missing out. Of course, my parents won't think that'll matter. They also HATE dropping/picking me up, and I'm underage to drive. However, the house is close enough for me to bike over before sunset. We've talked about this earlier, but my dad got really mad, and I really hate it when he gets mad.

I am "friends" with this human. I guess I want to ask this person if they would like to study with me. How should I go about doing that?
