They act like they feel threatened and intimidated by my independence! I love being alone. I have never had any friends except my boyfriends. I don't need people in my life. Why can't they accept that and mind their own business?

i'm 16 and i'm a sophomore. i'm sick of feeling lonely all the time. all i have is my boyfriend. i feel like a loser because i have no friends and nobody ever considers me their friend no matter what. i lost my group of friends in the beginning of the school year because they were fake, and now i sometimes regret it. i wish i stayed with people that treated me like **** because it's better than being lonely. sometimes i just want to commit suicide because everyone else has fun except me. i care about my boyfriend a lot, but sometimes i'm so insecure about my pathetic life that sometimes i think he's better off without me. i've been taking medication for depression and it has made me a lot better than i used to be but still my life is super shitty and boring. i feel like i'm never gonna have true friends ever again. i want to go to a new school but i don't even know what to do anymore because i feel like my life is always gonna be garbage.

I have a friend of mine that I am very much in love with. I live with her as a roomate due to some circumstances. The thing is though, she is with somebody else and is also pregnant his baby. Me and her have done nothing with each other as she doesn't know my feelings.We live as friends. And i also fear being alone again. I am scared that as soon as she has her baby, I will have to kick myself out of the house so her baby and boyfriend can have privacy and room. Mind you the boyfriend lives in Cali for now. Being alone with no friends and family scares me. What should i do?

I've had two best friends in my life but I don't talk to either of them now because of personal reasons. Mostly between our parents. I had one in the 6th grade but we barely talk to each other now because we both go to different schools. I'm 17 and find it really hard to make friends now. It doesn't help that I am homeschooled. The only people I can say I "hang out" with are my moms best friends sons. I would never say this out loud or to my mom but they are very hard to enjoy hanging out with. I also had really bad social anxiety back in the 6th grade. It got worse when I had to go to a homeschool academy with the boys I was talking about, for two years. (I'd like to mention that I went to a private school until the 6th grade.) It didn't help that the teacher was very adamant about me being social. I hated it, but It got better when I left. For a while I was very happy about being alone. I guess it helped with my social anxiety because it's not so bad anymore! I can now speak to people without stressing so much. It wasn't until last year that I started to get very, very lonely. I don't have anyone that I can just text/call at anytime. I don't have anyone to talk to. It doesn't help that I'm also really, really socially awkward. I get very jittery when talking to strangers. I can't think of words quickly. I also mispronounce words ALOT. I'm just hoping I can find someone who wouldn't care about that stuff, Who would actually like me for who I am. How do I make friends?

I got a c in math

He used my new teflon pan and scratched the telflon with something metal so i told the landlord who lives there to tell him he needs to use his own.I only have 3 soup and salad bowls and now hes using those and not putting them back when hes done.I told my landlord to tell him I havnt had good luck sharing with roommates in the past and he should buy his own stuff but my landlord hasnt told him yet.Am I handling the situation right?what should I do if he continues?

me cheating? What should i do?

This woman I know fairly asked me if I think she's pretty. She's a "generically" attractive girl, but everyone has different opinions, so I was honest and said "you're alright". She was offended, and hurt. I didn't call her ugly, I don't think she's ugly. Was I wrong? Opinions?

There was this girl that I was friends with back in school. We've known each other since elementary school and we were best friends. She was very nice until when we started high school together, her personality totally changed. When all I wanted was to talk to her or at least hang out with her, she would either ignore me or tell me to back off of her. I haven't been anything but nice to her and yet, she treated me like I was nothing to her. Even during my freshman year of high school (she was a sophomore) when all I needed was a friend to help me navigate high school, she still would treat me like total crap. But when the next year of high school came (I was a sophomore; she was a junior), we were kinda on good terms with each other. After when we graduated from high school, we kinda went our separate ways. But I was still incredibly hurt by the way she treated me during my freshman year of high school. I still don't understand what her problem was. Was she a bad friend to me?

I was scammed. I was purchasing tickets to Ed Sheerin for my girlfriends birthday from what I believed to be a legitimate website I spent £120 on them through PayPal and they said it would be send via email. This email never came, no confirmation was made so I tried contacting them and they kept hanging up on me and I was using their chat service who got me the tickets and they are not responding and keep transferring me to different people. I got people called "jesse james", "Michael angelo", "Simon garfunkel" and it became clear it was a scam, a fake site that said they were partners with ticket master, I emailed ticket master after and they told me it's fake. I know I'm an idiot and I'm bloody embarrassed over it but have any of you had an experience like this using PayPal, I did it yesterday can I get a refund or get PayPal to take the money back or cancel it?

So my best friend, we week in touch through E-Mails and message each other like on avenge every three weeks. This has happened sevel times; I have times where I have to deal with online trolls, and getting fed up enough, I completely tell them off. Then filled with anger, I realize I haven't messaged my best friend/love interest in a while. I should message her help cheer me up and take my mind off my anger. But then I think to myself "No, I shouldn't. After how I just lost my tempter getting angry at those online trolls, I'm just not worthy at the moment to message my best friend." Which side of my conciseness should I listen to? The side that says message my best friend to help remove anger, or the side that says messaging a friend during anger is never a good idea?

hangout with friends or hangout by yourself.

We were suppose to hang out today and I texted her to confirm that we still were and she said yes. When the time came, I asked her if she's getting ready to go now and she's like almost. 20 mins past by and I texted her again but she never answered. I even called her but she hung up. I texted her again and again asking if we were still going but she never answered. A few minutes later she snapchats me but it was directed towards all her streaks. I had something that I needed to do after the hang out with someone else and I ended up being an hour late because I was waiting basically all ******* day for that ***** to answer. She has done this multiple times and I'm honestly am sick of her crap. I don't think she values our friendship more than I do. Should I just stop being friends with her?

We haven't spoken in 7 months. Before that, I had given her a second chance after not speaking for an entire year. The problem with her is that I feel she is toxic and jealous. She was always trying to prove that she is very smart, she would always criticize but she could never take any criticism, we had decided that we would never talk about politics since we are polar opposites but she would always try to get the conversation there to start an argument with me. Whenever I tried talking to her about my problems she would always make things about her and her own problems, she would try to bring the attention to herself every time. Since I cut her off I don't have anyone ruining my confidence and that is great but at the same time there is no one to replace her and I feel lonely. I still miss a lot of the things that we did together and the conversations we had when we weren't arguing. I don't really have any close friends, I have other friends but no best friend. Is it a bad idea?

I get anxiety over the idea that people think I am a loser or unpopular. I have alot of friends and I am pretty proud of my popularity but its people like my grandparents and cousins who don't see me or my friends on a regular basis that I get upset about. I just can't shake the idea that they think I am unpopular. Does anyone know ways that I can shake this paranoia or show my family that I have friends? Thanks

I was at college and walking to the toilets, I walked past this girl in my class, sometimes we chat but not a lot. She says to me hi, I say hi back, then she says to me I'm just gonna go to the canteen and get a hot chocolate and then I'll have a cigarette so I'll maybe see you outside. I smiled and said okay, but I had no intention of going outside to meet her because I don't even smoke. So I didn't go. Then when I saw her in class she was giving me evil looks and made her nervous. Did I do anything wrong?

If I almost beat another student to death for punching me in the face will I get arrested or not.

When I was a freshman in high school, I attacked this one girl in my class outside. I tackled her down to the ground and started biting on her. Later in the day, another girl in my class named Victoria told me that I was a beast. What did she mean when she called me a "beast"???

I have this friend who seems to enjoy her time more with her 'other' friends. She describes herself as shy but that is completely false. She is very loud and prefers to be around a lot of loud and bubbly people. I'm quite reserved on the other hand, and I choose to have a one or two really good friends instead of having so many. I also struggle with being happy most of the time because of the environment I'm in, but when I'm around her I try to remain as happy as I can be. Recently she ditched our plans last minute only to hang out with her new 'loud' friends. It was so last minute that I was all dressed and waiting for a phone call so I could pick her up; only to get a message that says she's cancelling. She seems to have more fun with them than she does with me. I guess I'm the more boring friend... I've been told that my personality repels my friends away. I can do so much but it seems like it will never be enough for her. This is actually the second time this has happened. I do think that what she did was wrong. Especially putting her new friends over me who's been friends with her for so long. Any thoughts? Do you think I have to change my ways? I'm tired of the same scenarios repeating themselves. Nowadays I try to do everything alone.

I understand that my friends "care" about me and and all that crap but i don't feel like talking about my feelings. They know that I used to cut (I still do but they don't know that). They don't believe me when i tell them i'm okay. I don't want to tell them the truth either. I'm been backstabbed too many times now.

Preface: I don't need anybody telling me I don't need to be friends with certain people or go to parties and do rebellious teenage stuff, leave it at the door. This is what teenagers do.-I moved to a new school a week ago. The girls I hanging out with aren't my 'cup of tea'. They're just different to me. I want friends who are like me and like the same things as me. I have my eye on a few girls but they're all really pretty with 40 boyfriends and I'm just not that even though I wish to be. As far as I know they judge me when I walk down the halls, I've already heard one of them talk **** abt me. But still, I know who they really are. Idk how to explain it but I know they aren't as bad as they seem at all, I mean I know people like that and they're not as mean as they sound. Anywho, I'm a brace face with ****** up teeth, ya know? Why would they even talk to me. I want to go out to parties etc. the girls I currently hanging out with would never step foot at a party, especially at this age. They're I guess 'nerds' WHICH IS OKAY!!! But not my kind of people. I have no friends at my previous school (hence the move) to go to parties with either. I'm so jealous of everyone having friends and boyfriends, I haven't had a proper boyfriend yet and I'm so jealous of everyone who does. It ******* sucks. + I have anxiety and social anxiety and go to therapy so that too sucks **** bc I can't talk to new people. Idk what to do anymore. I moved bc I had no life and idk where to start 🙂

Mother constantly want to come everywhere with me. 2 weeks ago me and my friend was supposed to go for lunch and she ends up coming to the bus stop and she said I'm coming to. So I had to cancel. Yesterday me and my friend booked a train ticket to go to a beautiful town. She ends coming with me. I told her we wants some alone time together but she won't listen. How do I stop her from doing this?

Hi I am 17, a guy. I am friends with this guy who is also my age. He is literally annoying. He got an Xbox One with the Forza Horizon 3 Bundle (I got that for Christmas). Whenever I'm playing Fortnite he would message me saying "boi", "Fortnite...really" on Xbox. He would send me multiple party chat invites and even FaceTime me multiple times until I answer. I would tell him "I'm in a game" and he says "yeah I know, I want to know if you want to play Forza". It makes no sense. If he knows I'm in a game he should wait until I reply back instead of messaging me. Another thing, this guy says so many ******* lies. He says oh I have a Lambo or a BMW I8. I got a GLK350 over the weekend and I have a band. He also makes me look bad in front of my other friends. He swears at me for no reason too. Should I be friends with him

Me and this friend were really close back in elementary school. I don't know what happened, but we kinda separated, finding our own friends. It was a mutual thing but I guess she grew further or even annoyed by me. So would it be okay to say praising words to her without it being awkward...?

My friend and I are both 14. We out at dinner in a nicer restaurant today with my family and I went to use the restroom (my friend stayed at the table during this time). When I came back, I went to sit down and she pulled my chair all the way back so I fell on the floor and hurt my arm REALLY bad (probs going to get it checked tomorrow). My mom is a nurse, and said it looked pretty bad but we will just look at it tonight). I got mad at my friend and left the restaurant and sat in the car while I waited for my family to pay the bill. She comes out and goes "it couldn't have hurt that bad, my friend did it the other day to me at school and I'm fine". And I got mad and wouldn't talk to her for awhile and when I started to talk to her I was not very talkative. But then she TOOK OVER MU AUNT! This is my favorite aunt and I like to hangout with her and my friend wouldn't even let me TALK to her! Every time I tried to talk to my Aunt, my friend would butt in and talk about something else with MY aunt. Should I say something to my friend? Should we not be friends? Idk what to do anymore. *Keep in mind I had taken her into a different state for a concert (that I paid for), we went shopping, and also out to dinner at a nice restaurant.

So I think I am generally a pretty good friend for my friends. But I would like a book that gives me even more info on how to be an even better friend. My best friend is very introverted, but he is someone I care very much for. He is like a little brother to me and I am extremely loyal to him. I would honestly die for him if I had to, so I think I am about the best friend he can ever have. But it is hard sometimes to read him. Being that he is introverted he does not share feelings as often as some. I want to make sure that every day I spend with him is one of the best days of his life. After losing my own little brother to tragedy years ago, there is nothing that makes me feel better then seeing my best friend (new little brother) smile. Is there a book or something out there I can read that will teach me how to be even better to him? I just want more ideas and tips.

We were supposed to hang out tomorrow, but something had popped up and I couldn't hang out anymore. I told her this like four days ago and she was fine with it. It turns out I can actually go so I messaged her yesterday saying that I can actually go on Sunday, but she never answered back. I know she saw it because she even snap chatted me a few hours later, but it was for all her streaks. I texted her again today, but she still didn't answer. I know she saw it again today as she snapped me again. Why is she doing this? I haven't done anything wrong at all that would have made her mad. I guess I'm kinda pissed off that she is not ignoring me for no reason. She does this a lot, but when I see her in person she acts like everything is fine and I'm just sick of it.

I m a 25 year old gay man who lives in a small town. The closest city is over an hour away. I don t have any friends and I m really struggling to meet new people and create new friendships. Every single night, whether its a weekday or weekend, I spend the night home alone watching TV. I m always very sad and down on myself at night because of my social situation, but I really want to make it better. I always check for local events to participate in but there isn t much around here in this small place. Any ideas on how I can get out and become more social and less sad?

Hello. I need to know how to start a rumor about yourself. And please do not say, "Do not do this. You will regret it for the rest of your life." I'm moving to a new school! And, another thing, also do not say. "Just because you're moving to a new school doesn't mean you should do it." I JUST WANT TO KNOW HOW TO SPREAD A RUMOR ABOUT MYSELF! But it has to be a bad rumor... I do not want to tell my friends to tell it for me because I am not going to tell my friends what I'm thinking. I AM NOT! So don't say, "Tell your' friends to start the rumor." Just, please give me ways to start a rumor. A bad rumor about myself. I NEED ANSWERS FAST!

I have a small disability where I'm missing my 18th chromosome and it makes a just a little on the slow side. One time I was at Sam's Club and I bought a ball of edam cheese. After I checked out an employee said "Wow that is a big ball." I felt offended by that so when I got home I called the manager right away and told him what happened. I told my mother what happened and she told me that I am too sensitive. Another time I was offended was at a church group. This one lady saw that I had a one liter glass of beer at a church event. The next week she bought a one liter of root beer and said to me "I got a big beer just like you." I felt offended because I felt like she was talking to me like I had downs syndrome. My friend told me her name so I messaged her a Facebook telling her that I was offended by how she was talking to me. She asked me why I was offended and I explained it. She replied that she is a teacher and she was just being nice. So does it sound like I'm overly sensitive?

I'm a guy, 21. Don't normally get along with kids, usually hang with friends at college. But I met this girl. (I'll call her Jen) who does yoga at the studio where I work as a receptionist. We ended up talking one day when she was waiting for a ride home and really connected. Long story short, her Mom asked if I was interested in a babysitting, I said sure. Jen and I share interests and inside jokes and she always seems to brighten up when I'm around - which I really notice because she has depression. She gets bullied at school because she looks closer to sixteen. "You try being 5'4 with D cups in seventh grade." Yeah, she doesn't really mind talking to me about stuff like that. I always try to sympathize even if I can't related. Sometimes she falls asleep on my shoulder or sits in my lap or snap-chats me into early hours. I don't think she has a crush on me, but I know I'm one of her closest guy-friends now. Sometimes she'll come downstairs in her towel, or ask me what I think of certain outfits. But is it weird or creepy to have a friend or close friend who's younger? Like, twelve years old? It's pretty much the exception not the rule for me, most of my friends are early twenties. What's the deal with Jen anyway? Any advice?

I'm 22 years old and I have a big crush on a woman who is 33. She's soo nice and super sweet, and she finds me very attractive. But the problem is that she's married and has 2 little kids. Is it weird to ask her to go to a movie or dinner just as friends???? Or would that be too weird. Any help ????
