We live in different continents. She has depression and is dealing with a lot of crap in her life. And today she called me on video chat and she was in full tears, I didn't know what to say. I tried distracting her by telling her about my day and making her laugh but that only distracted her for a little bit before she started crying again. I don't know what to say and I ended up just staring and probably making her feel uncomfortable and stupid for crying in front of me. I know I would feel that way. So how can I comfort her through video chat?

My friend and I look alike, we have the same glasses frames. people have mistaken me for her many times, but she does not seem to have the same problem. How can this change? does this mean people just prefer her more than me?

We got back results from tryouts and I made JV, but I'm going to be a junior next year. I'm upset because I'm just generally going to be embarrassed because I'm going to be an upperclassman but not that surprised because i've never done basketball cheer before. I just feel kind of sucky bc i reallyyy wanted to make varsity and I could really just use some words of encouragement/advice to deal with the jealousy and awkwardness :(

My friend is always super nice to me when it involves my other friends (accepting her Facebook request) there's no drama or no fighting. She's really nice to them and to me. However, when it involves my crush accepting her Facebook request she is really mean to me, say hurtful things to me, create drama with me, fights with me, purposely hurt my feelings more than once on the same topic, tell me she needs a break from me. My crush never did anything to her and to me.

Your friend is really nice to you and your friends. When your friends accept her Facebook request, there's no drama or fighting between you and her. However, when your crush accepts her Facebook request, she's really mean and say awful things to you, purposely hurt your feelings, want to make you cry, make stuff up about your crush, she creates drama with you over him accepting it and she creates a fight with you over him accepting it. Your crush never did anything wrong. I asked through text (since she and I don't hang out maybe one a year) what our friendship is based on and how she feels about me as a person. She ignored the text message when she finally answered it she said "can't handle this right now questioning friendship for being honest" I never told her I questioned our friendship if she's being honest or not. I told her I questioned it because we only hang out once a year I didn't know what our friendship is based on. She couldn't answer the question. She told me when my crush accepted her Facebook request, her and I need a break. I don't understand why she is really nice to me when it involves my other friends but she said awful things to me, really hurt my feelings, seem she doesn't want me around by saying we need a break.

So my friend and I sit next to each other on the bus and she STINKS really badly. How do I politely tell her she stinks and should shower? Yeah

I personally don't believe she is but today we had Olympic day at my middle school. Basically at the end I was playing around and I told my "friend" take this L ( we were on the same team and I was joking). She said no you take this L because I'm prettier than you, more athletic, and more talented the list goes on she says. I didn't say anything back because I didn't want to start anything. I personally don't know who she thinks she is because she tried to throw in that she could sing but to me she not good. Anyways she got mad at me for some rumor that was started that was not true. Than she tried to say that I called her fake but I didn't. She blames me for a lot of things and tries to boss me around. I got tried of her after her comment and I blocked her from everything and I'm not going to be her friend because I did nothing but be a good friend to her and she always does things that are rude and silly. Do you think I'm making a good choices.

He is incredibly flaky, 9 times out of 10 he flakes out on plans. I have the day off today and needed work done on my car, I scheduled my car's maintenance for another day because he specified that today we would hang out. I also scheduled a doctors appointment for next week to leave today open. He then calls me at 6am this morning asking me to go out to breakfast...I was asleep. He wrote a text to me at 6:30am and said "Well I tried to make plans with you and you aren't answering so I'm going to do something else" He knew full and well I would not be awake at 6 am, he did that to say he tried and assign the blame on me. Now he sends me a message at 12:30 pm and said "Busy all day, my friend Jess might need me to help her move out of her dorm later today, shes not getting back to me because she's hanging with her friends so I'm going to wait until 10pm for her to respond, if I dont hear from her we can get together" So he's now saying he is waiting on a person who doesn't even respect him enough to confirm plans and giving her until 10pm to see if she can fit him in. This enrages me, I just find it so rude. I'm a female by the way, I'm 32 and he's 40 a bit old for this kind of stuff. I told him that I think he's rude and incredibly inconsiderate to pull something like this and his response was "You're right, I'm such an awful person and you're perfect" What the heck?!

At lunch today I needed a quarter and I asked my friend for one. She got upset because I asked and said no. Now all last week I have her money without any issues and now when I ask it's a problem. Now it's not like she didn't have that much money, earlier today she told me she had the dollars worth of change and eighteen ones on her. I told her that I was never giving her money again. Later I told her how I felt and she didn't care so I've been giving her the silent treatment since. I'm not upset because she didn't give me the quarter I'm upset because of the way she reacted to me asking for the quarter

My school is notorious for favortism and it is a private school. They say there is 0 tolerance for bullying but they do NOTHING to help. This entire year people have been insulting me and I don't really have anyone to talk to (I have a group of friends but we aren't in any classes). I've recently just transferred to this school since i'm in 9th grade now and I HATE IT ALL. I'm thinking of giving out something at lunch with laxatives. Will I get introuble? Will they know it's me? Maybe if I target specific people only? This has been ruining my grades and this needs to stop now. I want some kind of petty revenge nothing that'll injure someone, just embarassment. No one is helping me and at this point (almost done with school year) i'm gonna take things into my own hands. It hasn't stopped at all and will most likely continue.

I suck at getting social cues. Every time i walk on the street and have eye contact with anyone, i m always the first to break it because it just feels awkward and I m afraid of their reaction to the eye contact or why they re looking at me. Most of the time I can be okay and hold normal conversations but after a while I get really exhausted and weird and I forget things...like people also start acting weird and they make me feel like something is wrong with me when there s more wrong with them! And it takes me days....even weeks to realize that i m doing way better than other people i m doing. And every time I make friends, all is nice and dandy at the start, because we don t know each other and we act polite and stuff...but somehow people gradually get ruder and act like they know everything around me, and i m more childish and wrong..How does that happen? I always try to maintain a distance, but people just get to me somehow. I m nice, open, sometimes too open sometimes, other times I don t want to talk to anyone, and I hope they don t take it personally...but yeah, other than that, I just want to know social stuff...if there s anything I need to know about friendships, how much should I actually care about people, what I should do in my free time? I m just really socially awkward idk help i m 18 and I suck at everything. Lmao, my bad about the repeated/misplacement of words, I have a lot of stuff on my mind and i'm trying to get every idea down which results in not really noticing my mistakes. Idk, I just want more friends and nice people in my life, but I always come across unhealthy relationships and that affects how I approach new potential friends. Because being isolated is unhealthy, i've been getting sick often and I'm sure it's because of my lazy lifestyle. I don't have a lot of friends, I have a loving boyfriend and he is busy with university. So yeah, a lot of times I find myself staying alone at home with nothing much to do and not a lot of people to talk to and it's just really furstrating. smh

To make a long story short, ever since I was a baby, my babysitter would watch over me and my brother. To this day we were still very close. She made us beautiful scarves and hats that she knitted for us as kids. My parents and I would stop by before holidays to come see her as her husband passed awhile ago. Well, up until last night I just found out she passed away. She actually passed away on March 17th and her funeral was on May 7th during my prom. No one told us and there was no info anywhere online or anything. So I ended up missing her funeral... I honestly feel like crap because I never got to say goodbye to my friend. Today I plan on stopping by her grave and placing some flowers and saying some last words. If anyone has any advice I'd greatly appreciate it very much. Please don't be rude. This is hard enough as it is.

My best friend for more than eight years has been secretly seeing this girl that had wanted to see me before. I fell in love with this girl, unknowing that she was taken, and I confessed to her. I'm doing that,she told me that she had been seeing my best friend, and had lost interest in him. She hadn't told him yet. When she was telling me this, she told me it was because she was falling for me. I'd be willing to sacrifice my feelings for her for my friendship with my best friend, but that would leave her unhappy. I'm not willing to lose this friend. Is there any solution?

My former colleague and I had a falling out a decade ago because she was extremely jealous of one of my good friends. My friend is prettier than my former colleague and is more educated than her. Do any of you have any idea why that would bother her? My former colleague isn't attractive at all and never finished college. She's divorced and unhappy with her life. She's the type of person that starts drama just for nothing. She's a crazy, rotten person. She got angry at me when I told her that I told my parents about what she said about my best friend. I haven't seen her in a decade and I randomly saw her yesterday when I went shopping. When she saw me, she ran across me, put her head down, and had a sad look on her face. Why would she do that? Is she sorry for what she did to me?

My former friend and I had a falling out about five years ago. I blocked her from Facebook because when I asked her for advice about something, her response was rude and bossy. Plus, her comments were quite hurtful. She's still friends with my ex-boyfriend although she knows he took advantage of me. After she got angry at me about something, she contacted me a year later asking if I can get her a discount at the hotel I work at. She was also being phony when she checked up on me. After I blocked her from all social media sites, I was surprised five years later she would start a game with me on Words With Friends and then logged off immediately. Do any of you know who she would do that? Do you think it was on purpose or by accident? I blocked her immediately on Words With Friends once I saw that.

I saw her on social media commenting on random posts so she probably was not busy
