so going into 10th grade and I feel like i'm surrounded by like really negative people which is one of the reasons i feel sad? idk. Iv'e been trying to be more optimistic but it's hard when no one understands ya know? and most kids in my school juul or vape and it looks really retarded ngl. also a friend of mine I wouldnt have expected to do those things juuled and like a couple of them got drunk during class and i dont see the appeal of it. and this weird *** girl that yelled in my ear during a pep rally and is very hyper once threw a beer bottle out of the bus and hit a car and got suspended. I just dont like being surrounded by negative energy and like most of my grade is like that. by no means am I more mature or anything I just feel like I have standards. and my last 'best' friend I had constantly put me down for YEARS like insulting my outfits, things i did etc because of her own insecurities. but when I was younger I took it too personally but i'm glad I cut her off and realized she was toxic.

I've been talking to this old classmate from high school on Facebook. She said that she doesn't want to talk to me on Facebook anymore until I'm ready to hang out with her in person. I like her and I want to hang out with her but I'm scared. I've been a homebody for the past few years. It's been a while since I've hung out with someone. She said she's not into people who just want to interact on Facebook or solely text.

I had my graduation party today with just my family, and invited my two closest friends. They both said they'd come two hours after it started, and i was fine with that. I asked them around the time they said they were coming where they were... it was obvious they had other things they wanted to do. I then find out theyre at someones house hanging out with our other friends. I am extremely upset by this and i told them not to come because everyone left. I just dont understand, is there something wrong with me??? Why wouldn't they just come, they've met my family dozens of times before.

Ok so I'm a 26 year old woman. How would my friends feel if I just didn't text them first anymore? Or didn't really talk to them anymore? I have a disability so it is kinda hard for me to be a friend anyway and I feel like I just want to make new ones. I'm getting bored with the ones I have now and the friends I have now say that they will be my friends forever but I don't want that. I'm not going to tell them that I don't want to be their friend anymore because to me that's kinda immature but that's just my opinion

I give off this vibe to people, they get shocked if I curse casually, some tell me I have no life, I don't understand banter, I see people I know talk to others in a way that they don't with me, everybody seems so natural at it, this is at work, I try to fit in mean I know I'm there to do my job, but I don't want to be the creep or the weirdo but is just so hard for me, they think I'm angry when I'm not, I don't how to speak in a way that doesn't sound like I'm yelling, my friends that I have my whole life are in a another city, where I live now I managed to make one friend that's it, I'm 24 male btw, when people go out what do they do?, why am I so uninteresting and boring? I wish I wasn't so awkward.

Ok so i'm A 26 year old female and I feel like I don't want the friends that I have now. I want to make new ones. I'm special needs and I still live with my parents. My friends have told me that they will always be my friends but I feel like I don't want to talk to them anymore. One of my friends that's 58 she really wants to keep me as a friend but I feel like I just want new ones altogether. I feel like I still want to have fun because I feel like I didn't have enough fun when I was a teenager because I was so shy and quiet. Is it bad for me to feel like I just don't want the friends that I have anymore? It's like i'm getting tired of them

Ok so I sometimes feel like I just want to drop my old friends and get new ones and i'm Feeling like that now. I'm a 26 year old female and I have a friend that's 58 and then I have another friend that's 39 and then another friend that's in her 30's and then a couple of other friends that are close to my age. I know this all may sound bad that I just want to get new friends and drop my old ones. I just don't get to hang out with anyone a lot and I just want to keep having fun. I feel like I missed out on my teenage years because I was so quiet and shy that I didn't really hang out with anyone much at all. I just stayed at home and now I'm still that way. Really the only people I hang out with is my parents and I still live with them. I'm special needs too. Is this wrong the way i'm Feeling?

soo idk if im just going crazy or just imaging things but the other day when i went out with my friends around town we were stopped at the streetlight waiting for it to turn green. & the other cars were driving by & i see this red car driving by & i see someone with sunglasses looking at me while driving by. & idk i think it was this girl i used to liked back in college.

I live in a house with two other girls, two dogs, two cats, and two ferrets. I own one of the dogs, but the other animals are not my responsibility and belong to my roommates. We live in a three bedroom house that would be horribly smelly and messy if I didn't clean it regularly. If I didn't do the dishes, sweep, mop, and take out the trash on a regular basis, the house would be a HUGE mess. I've tried the "leave it and let them suffer" method... they didn't care while I was seething in anger over how dirty the house became. One of my roommates also relies on me soley to be her transportation, and has the exact same school/work/vacation schedule as me so that she doesn't have to find a ride. My schedule also must match whenever my OTHER roommate wants to go out of town, because someone has to be home to watch all of her animals. If I try to address any of these problems (or the other 50 things that are wrong) I am painted as emotional and trying to blame things on other people, and they talk **** about me behind my back. I did NOT move in with these girls to become their mother, and I'm honestly so sick of it. The only problem is we are all locked into a 4 year lease (the length of our stay at college) and it cannot be broken. What do I do???

I have a friend let's call him Lalo and he and I became really good friends last school year. I've got to know him well and all his friends flirt with me sometimes and touch me ( I slap their hand bc nobody ever wants to be touched or I walk away) or ask me to **** but he denfends me at all costs, he tells me he will fight them if he has to. In this particular situation, his brother tried getting at me. I denied him at first but then things went to another level and long story short I regret what happened. I confronted him about this and he said not to worry because he'll fix this, he said he'll always be there for me not matter what. He has told me before I mean so much to him and he's told me I mean more to him than his two best friends (they've been friends for years and years) I barely started hanging out with him and talking to him last school year. And I am so happy when we're together, why does he defend me? Why is he always ALWAYS there for me. He's always taking my side, why? Thank you for reading and responding! I'm literally crying bc I've never had a friend like this...

Rachel's been a loyal friend to me my whole life. After we finished high school, Rachel became depressed. She kept secrets from us at this time, so we didn't realize what she was going through. we became aware of her changed behavior after college. December was the first time I saw her in person for a year. We spent the day with another one of our friends. She was very narcissistic, insisting that we constantly take pictures of her. At the bar, she told us we were boring the whole time. She left us at one point to make out with a random stranger. And she became violent and knocked a hat off of a random guy. We went to my apartment later, where she asked my fiancé to come into the room while she was changing (I just got engaged that week, and she was not drunk that night.) This week was the first time I saw her since December. She told me many of her secrets: how she manipulated a guy to have sex with her to see if she could do it, and how she had an abortion. I reserved my judgement at the time. But later that day, when I told her my sister had a miscarriage, she said "in my opinion, I had it much worse". Every time I see her, I am left broken, I feel used, and I burst out crying after she leaves, but she always follows up by texting "I really needed a friend today, thanks for being there for me". How do I know if she's a toxic friend or a friend in need? I'm afraid of what might happen if I decided to leave the friendship, but it has really taken a toll on me.

Before going to a fair my plan was to bring my purse and the thing to put my stuff in that wraps around my waste. That's all but my mom forced me to bring extra shoes and a sweater. It was so hot which I knew it was going to be. I drove to my friend's house before and after the fair. My friend forced me to leave because he was in a rush and he rushed me out of his house which lead me to leave my sweater and extra shoes at his house. I didn't know I left my stuff until Friday. My mom asked where my stuff was. I couldn't find them. I asked my friend's father. He told me that his wife mentioned that I left my stuff at his house. He thought his wife could go back home but she wasn't able to. Since we talked on Facebook Messenger I could only use it when I'm at home. I gave him my number since I was going to the movies with my other friend so I was not able to pick up my stuff when he came home. About time I came home it was almost dark. My friend asked why I contacted his father. We got into a big argument because my friend made lots of excuses so I wouldn't get my things I told him that I need my stuff. He didn't want me to contact his father so he said that he can put my stuff on the porch which he didn't do. I would have been mad anyway. Since no one told me before hand, meet me half way nor drop my stuff off at my house I woke up early in the morning yesterday (Saturday) to go to his house. I now have things things but his father had no idea I was coming.

Yesterday I went on a party and there was one singer. So i took lots of videos on snapchat and saved them to memories. On the videos i was singing and 4 of them i posten on snapchat story. I literally was screaming on the videos because i was enjoying and i sounded like a screaming fool ... i wasnt drunk, i drank juice. After i came home, i first posted the videos on my story because i couldnt delete them and after that i deleted them. After that i started backing up my snaps. 40 mins later, i refreshed my snap and there were my snaps published .. omg.. i might have set them on floop.. please help! After i saw that i didnt watch the videos i immediately deleted them.. i didnt know what was in those videos.. i am sure ppl have screen recorded them and they are going to post them on yt or something.. pls help.. also a friend of my ex bf is my friend on sc so maybe he screen recorded them.. omg.. and maybe he sent them to him? Pls help. I wanna die 😭 i didnt even see who saw the snaps.. but only 7 ppl saw them. But these could be very important ppl. Please help omg im dying and im very embarrased 😭😭😭💔

Like I came across people that seem to dislike me even if i didnt do anything bad. I invite them to my house, but they never invite me to their house.

My daughter has a friend who's been coming over more frequently lately. At least 1-2 times a week. They're both college-age, so it's not like they need me to supervise them. But I still try to make sure she feels welcomed. Well she has mild aspergers. Mild enough that you can barely tell. For her, it makes her painfully shy. I've known her for a year, and I STILL have to push to get her to talk to me. She talks to my daughter no problem. Every time she comes over I say the whole "make yourself at home" thing. I tell her she can help herself to food, drink, etc. She won't though! Most of the time if she's here more than a few hours, I just bring her food and water. She says "thank you" and eats it all, which I take to mean she IS hungry. She's just too shy to get it herself. Another thing I've noticed is she won't use our bathroom. She won't even ask when she needs to. She just waits until my daughter or I give her permission. She's spent the night a few times, and it's no different then. I find this all very odd. I assume it's part of her aspergers. But since she's comes here so much, I want to help her feel more comfortable. What can I do? I want her to make herself at home.

If you try to 'roll' with their guy friends their guy friends will bully/harass you over the way you are (look talk and act, social status) and accuse you of being 'gay, loser, different, weird, nerdy, retard' or think that you are stupid. You might get beat up by them for no particular reason. If you try to get to know these women, them and their friends will bully you just because of the way you are. They seem to not want to get involved with you or they would hang with you in a whole group just to make fun of you. These women will get you jumped or bullied by a bunch of guys just because they think it would be funny, or they think you're annoying or they simply don't get their way, or you said something out of the way to them. These women's friends tends to dress talk and act the same and physically look alike. Them and their friends are cliquey and exclusive. I meet women all sorts of ages and they are like this. Even at age 50. What should I do?

I'm a female and growing up I had acne and acne scars. I was picked on by guys a couple of guys each year. During seventh grade, there were these guys in my English class who didn't like me because they thought that I was ugly and one of them, Mushroom ( his name isn't really mushroom I just call him mushroom cause I don't like mushrooms ), tried to get his other friends to bully me. During eighth grade I didn't have any classes with him and eighth grade was the last time I saw him. Flash forward to now, I graduated high school a couple of weeks ago ( I still have acne anc acne scars) and I hanged out with one of my guy friends and Mushroom came up to us ( mushroom is also friends with him ) and I was silent the whole time cause I didn't want to talk to Mushroom. Then yesterday my guy friend was at my house and he was hanging out with my brother and he brought Mushroom along. Mushroom would try to talk to him and I told him " I don't like you. I never had and never will. I don't hang out with people who pick on others based on their appearence and/or weight." And I went into a different room. My dad found out what happened and lectured me about me not being nice and he knows about the situation that happened in seventh grade. I told my dad that Mushroom deserves to be treated like that since he's a disrespectful human being. Who's right in this situation? Me or my dad?

I met one of my students for math tutoring and she was wearing a diamond ring and I asked her if her boyfriend proposed, how and when.. She looked uncomfortable with my question. Do you think my questions were personal? I have not seen her for a while. She is in her early twenties and I tutored her for 2 months and then we had 2 months break and now I am back to tutoring her. Were my questions out of line?

I am a 35 year old mother, with a very busy work life but I have not friends or meaningful adult connections. I am suffering from acute loneliness since 5-7 years. There is no one I can call on emergency. My school friends, parents as in different countries. It's hard for me to build things from scratch. Is there a way to make meaningful connections?

So, we have a group of about 8 people as a group of friends. One of the girls in the group (the only one other than me) has started harassing and causing a lot of problems within our group. We all wish to not be friends with this girl anymore. however, we are too scared to tell her due to the fact she is factually crazy and suicidal (has participated in self-harm before). She knows where multiple of us live, and we wouldn't put it past her to just show up at our house. ghosting isn't an option, it will only make the situation worse. How should we, as a group, go about not being friends with this girl? The issue is, She isn't just annoying. She HARASSES us all. she has sent my boyfriend naked pics of herself, constantly comes onto the other guys in the group no more than 3 inches away from unwanted molestation and sexual harassment, and on top of that repeatedly messages me on multiple social media to rub my miscarriage in my face. Me personally, I have blocked her. but the rest of my friends are suffering.

Recently, a close friend of mine called me fat. While I was sitting down, my stomache "rolled" up. She then told me "You have rolls" and laughed. One of my biggest insucurites is my stomach and it really hurt my feelings. I know she was joking but it still hurt. So, I told her that her joke hurt me and I didn t find it funny. She apologized and didn t mean for her to come off rude. I didn t really think anything of the situation until about a week later, she metioned my stomach again. I was wearing this really pretty black dress to a school dance and she asked me "When is the baby due?" and laughed. I felt really beautiful until that comment. The rest of the night I spent worrying about how my body looked. What do I do?

I feel I am being too harsh but what would you tell your bestfriend?..please read: My friend starting dating this guy who is 8 years older, has three kids with three different baby mothers... He keeps telling her that he is looking for a house, love wants a family of his "own" being that all his children are separated. He had a child during the teenage years then got married, (I assume divorced then engaged) He is now 36, single, and is looking for a wife. my friend is 27. single, no kids, works full time and goes to school full time and also lives on her own, etc so she is doing pretty good on her own. I don't know the guy and I don't mean to judge but I tell her to meet someone younger who has no children and max at least 1 child but...3 from 3 different woman? And another question he is in the army.... if she were to go along with this wouldn't the ex wife still be getting money from him..would she even be taken care of? plus the thought of him (I assume) having to pay child support to, three children?? Is that a lot? what would ur advice be.. If she falls in love cool but....
