I have distance mysef from a friend that I thought was honest and straightforward to me. I just think friendships should have a lot of honesty and respect. But last year after 6 months into the friendship she just sort of distanced herself from me. I was a bit upset and tried talking to her because I knew she was having some difficulties. She sort of made a joke of it and told me things were great. To be honest it all felt strange. She put me in some difficulties, I became confused, ill and felt that I was losing who I was. So I decided to not be so readily available if it meant a drain on me. I said no to her once and that was all it took. She made me feel terrible in a way that was not directed at me but knew that I would see it. She was very nasty sort of saying things like people who are ungrateful and bitter will never be happy. She knew that I had a very hurtful breakup. Can you still be a good person and toughen up in a gentle way with boundaries. She is the only friend that I have had to do this with. Unfourtunately I cannot avoid this person and feel like I need to protect myself, strange as it may sound.

Me and my friends were messing around and one of my friends hit another in the balls as a joke, he got mad and started freaking out it wasn't even hard. Also how old are you me and my friends are 13,-15

This girl tried to get attention before we met, she indirectly inserted herself into my life. She offered to help out this guy I talk to in class and was talking loudly and rolled up her shirt to show her belly ring and stomach while talking loudly. Well she started giggling at my singing. I ignored but a week later laughs at a joke loudly and starts shouting at me asking me to repeat it to her and the context. Well after class she waits giggled with her friend and scared me and did this so we have a closer view of each other, closest we've been. Well she then starts butting into my conversations to start laughing and responding to me. She stares at me. She gets red and can't stand still and makes poor eye contact. Well just about every time we talk she does the scaring thing (is this a way to get me to ask her out?). She Also wants pictures next to me have me get real close and sends it to me to put on Facebook to like it then tell me the next day she likes it when she took it. She liked a picture I tagged of my dad on Facebook so it notified him and he tells me she likes me. Well she tells me the next day she likes it. She finds any way to compliment me and finds out information about me to inform me she learned something about me. Well she holds really long never ending eye contact with smiles and there's awkward silence. I have to break this never ending eye contact. Are these all tactics to get me to go out with her and make things move, ☆ Sent from iOS Dr. Know! 1.1.04

I have a neighbor who has never liked me, even though we never talk. This is a townhouse community. She has friends here, who are nice to me. But, its always been obvious she despised me. I got suddenly very sick and an ambulance was called. Im sitting up, inside the ambulance and she drives up. She looks very,very worried that something happened to a neighbor. As she gets closer, she sees it's me. She cannot tell that I can see her. Her face instantly moved from concern to sneering about it. It's normal for people to dislike somebody but, usually seeing them hurt still bothers you. What would say?

I keep thinking like ohh I'm gonna ask her out but I then start getting nervous thinking of the bad even though the signs are right to ask her out. How can I not be nervous

So my best friend and I, both 24 year old females, are straight. Never been sexually attracted to other girls, but my best friend are so close and she will cuddle with me and talk about how much she loves my legs and she will rub my arm or back underneath the shirt when were laying on the bed. She will play with my hands and she'll be right underneath my chin in my chest and when we talk she looks at my lips and eyes. We've talked about not being gay because we both want guys, but she said when I find one it's gonna be weird. I've kissed her a few times, a peck, she never makes the first move. But with the way she acts what does it mean?

I was hanging out with my best friend Taylor and it was getting pretty late. My friend Soph (who Taylor doesn't like) texted me and asked to hang out. I had to go home and drop my car off anyway so i told Taylor that i was leaving for that reason and told soph yeah. I went to Soph's and slept over forgetting that Taylor has me on the find my friends app. she's really mad. i don't really know what to do because i've always been super confident that i've been a great friend to her, and this is the first time i can remember ever lying. i feel super guilty because she's pissed at me but I only lied to not hurt her. ( the only reason she doesnt like Soph is because shes jealous we hang out). I feel so guilty and brought her coffee and fessed up and told her, but shes still mad. i didnt even really think it was that big of a deal but i still feel super bad, its eating at me. PLEASE help. am i a bad friend??

Was invited to a quinceañera, and my hubby used to be friends with the family but haven't seen them in years, we've never been to one so we have no idea what to gift

I posted a topic in Craigslist's "rants and raves" section, and got a response from some guy. We corresponded casually, etc. Last night he emailed me "Can I ask u advice about my boat?" (He'd mentioned it before. Before I went to bed at MIDNIGHT, I replied back: "Sure". This morning at 9 am I check my messages, and he wrote sometime between then and now: "Why aren't you responding? Are you freaking out or something?" ... This guy is crazy for being mad at me, right? It's NOT reasonable to expect a person to be "on call" between MIDNIGHT and 9 am, right? And yes: we've only responded via email, with no "fast responses"—just normal at best. Thoughts??

Some months ago myself and 2 friends booked a trip to the U.S that we are expected to leave for on July 2nd. Since then I have changed my mind and have no intentions of leaving for this trip but, unwisely, we did not get insurance on the trip at the time of booking. Does anyone have a good excuse that I could use to flake out of this trip?

I have a new friend and we've started going places and hanging out a bunch. This is the best friend I've had in years. I can tell they want to have lots of sleepovers but I don't think their parents let people coming over all the time and my friend assumes we can just come to mine all the time. My friend's very chill. But my parents are very formal people. The thing is, my parents don't really like having sleepovers at mine cause then they have to clean and provide breakfast every time. Plus my parents believe in taking turns, so they wouldn't want the sleepover being at mine all the time and never at my friends'. I feel like if I told my friend we need to take turns she'd be annoyed cause her parents don't really let people come over, and if I told my parents the sleepovers will mostly be at my house, they'd be annoyed. Idk what to do cause I don't want to disappoint my friend or annoy my family. I want my fiends and family to get along cause they usually don't. What should I do?

two twin sisters on my high school bus and in my school who are sophomores and i follow on instagram used it in their latest posts. the post was a bunch of pics they took together with their friends and they both had the same picture of their backs facing towards the camera and holding up sideways vs with their fingers

Should I see a doctor?

My best friend is a travel nurse and is making great experiences, working as she travels. I am almost done with my Master's in ABA. So I will be a BCBA and I would love to travel if anyone knows of anything.

I've been this person's best friend for maybe five years and I don't want to be in the friendship anymore. I've felt like this for over a year but they depend on me so I don't know what will happen if I push them away. I'm tired of talking with them long into the night to convince them not to kill themselves. It's stressful and draining. Every conversation we have, they complain about the same things and I'm tired. They have a therapist and medications, but I'm their only close friend, and I don't know if they'll harm themselves if I leave. What should I do?

I'm leaving 11th grade soon. I took AP Chem this year, and for 2nd semester I was assigned a new lab partner, Erin. We often go to each other's houses to work on projects. She's really snarky and competitive. She gets stressed out easily. In the beginning she couldn't stand me. But the more we hung out the more she seemed to grow fond of me. Now when she's tired (which is often) she'll sleep on my shoulder or sit in my lap. I don't think she's use to having regular guy friends, but we've started talking about other things. Like what bands we listen to, where we're applying to college.She sometimes vents to me about bullies and exes, who pick on her for being on honor roll, for wearing glasses. Stupid stuff. I found out she smokes pot, to help her relax. She got defensive at first but I wasn't judging, I told her I'd never tried it and asked if I could, so we shared the joint. We listened to music and went out to sit in the hot tub. I gave her a shoulder massage. While stoned, she talked about being self conscious with her body, mainly her massive boobs. She always wears flannels and jeans, and never shows off skin, so it was definitely a bonding experience. She doesn't seem embarrassed by that day either. We still talk and work together like nothing happened. Thing is though, the school year is ending soon. I kind of want to keep in contact with Erin, maybe hang out over summer. Any advice for how to make that happen? How to approach her? Do you think she'd even want to?

Ayudame! porfavor :(

I was supposed to participate to help in an event but I have not been replying to the organizer so she texted me saying that she does not want to text me or bother me when it is clear that I am busy but it is only courteous to let people about your availability and being responsible enough to communicate. Is she being rude???

But when I get back at them for what they did they get mad. Honestly the way people treat me is how I treat them. Why these boys been rude? I'm to myself but I have to speak up when I know its not right.

Why people making a big deal for? Why can't they leave me alone? 😦

I went to this job training place. And groups of young girls were looking at me, I'm also a young adult. They were giggling and making comments about me. I did not say or do anything and do not even know them. I ignored them acted like nothing happened and walked past them. It was irritating. I wanted so badly to say something back or complain to someone and let someone know since this is supposed to be an ADULT job training environment. Some of them did not look very professional. They remind me of mean HS girls or bullies. I think they're jealous of me. So should I say something back next time? I'm irritated if i didn't provoke or do or say anything but these people who don't even know me, are trying to make comments about me. so what do I do if this keeps happening? i felt they were jealous because I look better than them. I ignored them and said nothing back. And they looked like they were trying to start trouble with me for no reason, its like bullying or mean girls gossip. what's irritating is if people, for no reason, are trying to start trouble with you or looked like they were trying to start a fight.

I know this seems like a baby thing to be upset about, but does anyone else deal with this? There are some people who get over 50 comments of people telling them they are beautiful or loved and I get two at the most and they are from my parents. I have a lot of friends, so I don't know why this happens. The only times they ever comment is after I've written something to them, so it doesn't feel sincere to me, it feels forced and just like they are trying to repay me for my comment.

I really like this girl from work Sara, and we often talk to each other. My friend told Sara that I have a crush on her, which is true. The problem is that shes a little older than me and shes happily married. I can tell that she feels attracted by me whenever I walk in the room. Sara even told my friend that I'm very attractive but she obviously has a husband. She things its just a little fling but i honestly like her alot more !!!! I'm always thinking about her and I feel sad when shes not there. Should I tell her exactly how I feel or would that be weird????? She said to me once on Facebook "im really chill, it takes alot to make me feel uncomfortable"

My roommate had been terrible to live with the entire year. She is extremely loud and wakes me up early every morning, doesn't clean up after herself, refuses to take the trash out, won't unload the dishwasher, breaks things and doesn't fix them, and moves my things to make room for hers. I have had many conversations about her not being respectful of the space we share and she still doesn't get it. I can't put up with her **** any longer. What should I do?

a) yes b) no When you answer, can you give me an explanation?
