The problem: friendship just isnt working out, its beyond obvious that it needs to end. But the other person happens to have depression and is possibly suicidal. I am being told to not "tell the person to get help (which is exactly what i did) and then walk away. That, that wont help and it might make the situation worse" But then im also told that the person's feelings are not my responsibility. And that if the friendship just isnt helping either person, that i should just cut it off. Its contradicting because im being told that i should abandon the person but im also being told that its better to just rip the bandage off. What do i do?? Ive asked a similar questions here but i still get contradicted. Should i just talk to my school counselor and ask her what i should do? I dont wanna hurt my friend but i think i might hurt him more if i keep going. But what if he tries to comit suicide if i cut the friendship? I dont wanna be the main cause of his hurt.

First things first, i have daddy issues and am attracted to older guys. Her parents don't love each other anymore and i'm 17. I've known my best friend for only 2 years but I've never had a friendship like this before and let's say that we respect each other deeply. I've known her parents since the beginning of our friendship but i never thought of her dad as someone hot. Her parents were always nice to me, especially her dad. He is super caring and protective over me and we tend to hug each other a lot. My best friend even told me that he told her that he sees me as his own daughter and stuff what gave me the feelings. Now that i have these feelings for him, i caught myself flirting with him multiple times and trying to seduce him in an 'innocent' way. I tell him he lost weight (he isn't even obese but he's insecure for some reason) or tease him by poking in his stomach. I remember when i had a sleepover at my friend her house, i came into the kitchen and as he was dressed for work, i slapped his butt and said "morning handsome" and he just said "morning" back kissed my cheek and went to work. I feel really comfortable around him and also imagine having sex with him but don't want a relationship. I know it's wrong so how can i stop having these feelings for him? I don't want to ruin the friendship with my best friend because of lust. Also, she doesn't sees anything wrong with the way i act around him since she acts the same way. I feel horrible for crushing on him

When I texted him he played the hurt card and cast blame on me. I said okay despite all that i tried giving you the doubt but you're still stuck in the past bittnerness and resentment. He said Ok I'm not going to argue with you enjoy your trip( i was going on vacation). I'm back now and at church this Sunday he keeps staring at me and he passed by me and winked at me but why does he text me? What does this mean?

so my sisters in town and she went out with her friends and invited me and so we are all out at this restaraunt and this one girl WONT SHUTUP AND SHES ANNOYING HER NAME IS ARRIANA AND SHE HAS TWO R'S IN HER NAME SO WHENEVER U SAY HER NAME SHE CORRECTS YOU IF U SAY IT WRONG! anyways i need advice like now cause im hiding in the bathroom writing this. thx

Basically, last year my group of five girls and I were all so close. We'd hang out - do everything together. I knew 1 of them since we were in 6th grade - now I'm in 10th. Anyway, last year I had some family issues and couldn't attend school for around three months. When I finally got back, I found out a new girl had came and they were friends with her. But my friends were still talking to me. This year though...something is different. Last summer (of 2018) I would ask what they're doing and if they've been hanging out. They said no, and nobody asked me. I only hung out ONCE with them. Then on their instagrams I saw they all went back to school shopping at the mall when they told me they didn't do anything really. One of my friends would always invite me to her bday parties and this year nothing. Now at school they basically all ignore me except for one girl that I used to not even be close with. Whenever I'm absent they don't notice like they used to. That new girl has developed such good friendships with them - took my friend I knew since 6th grade away. I just wanna... grab her and smash her head against the wall. Can somebody help me??! What's going on with them?

I have two friends whom i'm very close with(used to). Since school started, I noticed they're always busy when I ask to hangout. I understood because we're all university students. But lately I noticed that every time I ask them out, they'd say they're busy but then later on i'd see pictures of them hanging out with their university friends(we go to a different schools). I was upset but told them how I felt in the group chat we had. They put me on seen zone. Never said anything. Is this friendship over?

Hi..I'm Rick and i'm italian. I really like english language and your country, with your habits etc. ..I'm looking for someone who wants to chat sometimes and "meet" new people out of my country, i know, it's a weird question,but it can be funny. You can find me on instagram: ricksick_

Last night I went to a club with 4 other friends. My friend wanted to go outside to smoke, but then the bouncer wouldn't let 2 of us back in because he thought We were drunk. So my friends decided to go back inside while me and another friend sat outside. Since they were the ones that drove there, we were stuck. After 30 min we decided to call them, no answer after about 10 calls. So we went to another club and on the way we saw them walking down the street. So they left and didn't even bother telling us. So we took an Uber home. Am I right to be angry about this? We were both drunk and they just left us in the middle of Melbourne city (45 min away from my house)

Okay, so basically I have this somewhat friend who doesn't care about anything I have to say (like important matters). She has openly told me she doesn't want friends and just talks to me because I'm a step up from the people at school. And, it hurts because I listen to the stuff she says that bother her whether its stupid or big and always try to be there when she needs like, y'know, what a friend is supposed to do. I still only talk to her because she's the only friend I have, well I DO have friends but don't talk them outside of school much besides a few texts every few days. So, now I'm thinking if I just part ways with this girl, will I be lonely? Is it worth it to leave someone when you guys talk happily but they don't care about serious things? And the serious problems are suicidal depression, regular depression, bad family problems, and anything else that they respond with "I'm not in the mood for that emo ****." for?

I've been secretly crying at night and freaking out at school in the dressing rooms (during drama rehearsal) because my best friend started dating a mutual friend of ours. (I admired them too, but thats not the main issue here) I'm so so scared that my best friend is gonna get distant. It's happened to me before with other friends, and I am so incredibly afraid that it might happen to my best friend too. I can't function normally because everytime I hear they did or do something fun together, for instance they stayed up super late talking last night, my stomach drops hard and I start breathing heavier. usually followed by excusing myself to be alone for a little bit and trying to not freak out completely (again) I just don't know what to do. I'm so lost and I get depressed often because of it. He's my best and one of my only friends. I've never felt so close to anyone before. I love this kid (not in a romantic way) so much I hate this..

I dont wanna go to school cause i know that I'll have to face him. I tried ignoring him and his texts/distancing myself but he still keeps persisting. Even tho i've been where he is, I still dont know how to help.From my perspective, any kind of acknowledgment from the toxic friend meant i got my hopes ALL up. He's doing exactly that. I play along with ONE SLIGHT fist bump, and all of a sudden he won't give me time to relax in my own silence cuz he's trying to talk to me. At the VERY LEAST, i need some space from him. The reason i havent broken up the friendship yet and that im so contrdicted is becuz 2 of my frens n i went to talk 2 him a few days ago telling him that we know he has depression (minus the part of him possibly being suicidal) and shud get help.1 of them said she needs space n i feel like if i do the same right after some1 else did, i might b abandoning him. But at the same time, i cant help him if i dont even feel confortable around him. He keeps trying to get me to acknowledge him, while I keep trying to get a moment to breathe without having to worry about his persisting behind me just trying to get a fist bump. Every time i ignore him he gets hurt n its obvious n it makes me feel guilty cause i keep leading him on but i feel like i cant break it off or it'll hurt him further. I dont wanna continue this friendship anymore but i dont wanna hurt him, should i just wait till its clear he's finally getting help and then break it off? What do i do??

I have a female friend that I am crushing on. (we have been friends for a little more than year) I have decided that I want to try and show her that I like her. (more than friends). Would this be acceptable to do? As a clarification, I would ensure that I got her consent (some of you seem to think that I would just steal the kiss, which is ABSOLUTELY WRONG of course). My plan was to lean in towards her cheek slowly like I wanted to kiss her there and see if she backs away or allows me. That or just plain ask her. Again, I do believe that "Consent is Sexy"

So last night I got embarrassed from my roommate who was being a jerk to me in front of my crush. I immediately when to my dorm, which my roommate came back a hour later to get me. I tried to explain to him the problem, which i got a bit emotional. Because he knows I have a crush on this girl. He was playing dumb and said I was over reacting. When he left to go back to the party he told everyone I was crying in my room which is not true. I like my roommate a lot it's just he can be so fake when girls are around. And I have no Idea how to talk to him about this problem.

I have this girl I have known for three years. When we first met we quickly became friends. But after a while she became annoying. She always wanted to know where I was and what I was doing. It came to a point I had to avoid her knocks on my dorm door and avoid her calls. Sometimes I just wanted to study or be alone. She would often get mad at me because she felt I was not spending enough time with her and spent more time with my friends. Then for the past 5 months things continued to get irritating. We talked a lot...but often times if she would call first I would not be able to answer right away and she would get upset about it. Mind you I would be sleeping, working, studying etc. But I would always get back to her. This always made her angry.Just yesterday she called me but I didn't wanna answer right away because I was tired and wanted to sleep. She called my friend talked to him and asked him if she could come over. She has done this once before where she would come to my house out of spite and go straight to his room. Yesterday she even told him not to tell me I was here. What do you guys think of this?? In the mean time she has a BOYFRIEND in another state where she is from. She only schools in the same city as me. My main issue is I need space. We are not even dating and I feel she is trying to control me. Last week we made plans to hang out and because I was at the gym 20 minutes before she was going to arrive she got angry and said I was a bad and fake friend...mind you I never said I wouldn't go By the way she is also kind of friends with my other friend. I currently live in house with 5 other guys which she knows. It's just that me and her became closer out of all of them

This year in college I live with a group of girls I met at the end of last semester. They are all really close and I still sometimes feel like an outsider after 1 1/2 months. We hang out and stuff but ik they have a group chat without me and I always feel like they are way more close to each other than I am to any of them. And sometimes they also do stuff together just the 3 of them. Ik we r friends but I want to be close friends. Their closeness kind of intimidates me and has kind of held me back from being my true, fun, and crazy self around them. Ik that I am enjoyable to be around bc people always tell me this and I usually make friends really quickly, I just don't know why I am struggling so much with them. Any suggestions on how to get closer to them and deepen our friendship? How can I become less insecure and just go all in with this group?

I was out with a friend and I treated her for a drink. She said thanks, and then after I was done settling the payment, she asked, Are you sure you have enough, and enough for the tip, too? Then the waiter came with my change, I took it and left the tip in the check holder. Then as me and my friend were walking out, I caught her looking at the check holder at the money I left there. It made me feel sort of uncomfortable. Why?

I remember being young and I had about 2 friends and they always wanted to see my body parts. I will tell them to "Stop" and "No go away." And they'll laugh and tell me "Okay we won't be your friend no more." It hurt me so when I ever let them see my body parts they will stare and look then leave. I haven't told anyone about this nor talked to them about it but I feel like was that sexual harassment or just friends being gross and perverted. Keep in mind that we were young like ages 10 or 14 I don't know.

This is not a question, I just need a place to vent. I'm 15 years old and I've been lonely for almost 7 years. Every time I see a group of friends hanging out, laughing, having a good time at homecoming/ school dances, texting, doing stuff they're not supposed to be doing such as drinking, smoking, going to late night parties, etc. I get so pissed off and I feel like pulling out a gun on those people or throwing a glass bottle at their faces and slitting their throats with the sharp left over pieces from the bottle. Nobody at school wants to be my friend I know this because whenever I make a tremendous effort to be someone's friend they never make one back with me. Whenever I make friends it only lasts a couple of days for me and that person leaves me but when other people make friends, the friendship for them lasts years. That sh*t really pisses me off. Whenever I'm left without a partner for a group project I get so embarrassed and extremely pissed. I envy other people's social lives because I don't have one. I feel like I'm wasting my teenage years just sitting at home all day not doing SH*T. I feel like sh*t without friends. Whenever I hear a person's friend has died or a person who has friends has died, I get so happy. I hate my ******* life and I don't wanna to live anymore. What's the point of life if no one wants to be your friend? I'M SO SICK OF MY F*CKING SH*T LIFE!!!!!!

I'm a really honest person. I was abused growing up, and I now stand up for myself. if I'm not into you, I'll tell you. I stand up for myself, and I don't take crap from anyone. I also am always ready to throw down if need be... People tend to tell me I'm too honest. Any advice on how to fix this? I mean I don't want to be this way... haha but I also want friends. I tend to always put my happiness, before others... which I know is a bad habit. I think people are just too intimidated by me, which makes me sad. I think it's because I'm gay, stereotypically sassy....but strong and masculine?? a recipe for disaster?? I say things that I probably shouldn't... but I honestly can't help it... I don't know what to do!! like yesterday... A guy I was seeing brought me over ice cream... I'm severely lactose intolerant...... and he knew that.... I told him I wasn't eating the ice cream, because I wasn't ruining my stomach. he got upset and I responded by saying "I'm not spending all night on the toilet, just so you can feel good about yourself...." was this wrong?? He blocked me on all social media.. or recently.. I found out my cousin took my money without asking, and bought drugs... I called the cops, and told the entire family..Now the entire family won't talk to me because I'm a "narc" and he hates my guts.... but I don't care... I'm not a mean, or violent person, I swear. I think I'm just too honest. any advice? I'm a little too honest... but I would never call someone fat, ugly, a loser, etc.

So I'm sixteen and I am a gay male. My parents HATE gay people and they know that's how I identify. I'm friends with these two sisters who are having a slumber party with a bunch of girls. I asked my mom if I could sleepover too and she said "no it's too much of a girl thing" but they really need me to stay over so how do I convince her?

I'm a female and I have a friend that is much older than me and she wants me to stay her friend forever and she said she's going to be my friend forever. What does this mean?

I wanna know if it's said in a good or mean way? How would you interpret this comment from a 3rd-grade student?

I m a sophomore in high school and I only have maybe 10 friends, I don t hang out outside if school with them but still. My dilemma is that I want more friends, but I think I come off as awkward and just a dick. I have never had a girlfriend or any friendships that mean a lot to me and I always feel lonely. What do I do? Also another question, I have a friend who I like and she s dating another guy, I know I have no chance because they are going on strong, but I want to get over it but I think about it all the time. How do I just forget about it and not feel trapped all the time?

I saw a friends penis at the gym showers and now i feel very awkward.

I need honest answers cause I am confused. I am gay male in my 20s who met a gay male roommate from internet. We lived together about a year. Now the truth I always thought he was cute. But I am believer in dont **** where you eat. We get along fine as friends, respect space , laugh , joke etc. He kind of only dates guys who are big muscle look. The truth I dont have much muscle I am in shape just normal size. He would always make jokes saying I would never bang you but like you as friend. One night we were both having shots in apt playing a shot game. He had 4 and me 4 , very small shot size glass. We both were in shorts and t -shirt. We start like play hugging bear hugging joking , I tighten hug a bit , then he does. I do move in for kiss but he pull away a bit but with returns with side kiss checks with a joke type smile. At some point near like kitchen wall we do this on he with his feet he is sliding down my shorts lightly kicking them down , with his hand guides me inside of him interlocks his feet around my waste and his eyes are just closed deeply breathing as he returns to hug in position. It lasted 7 to 8 min. After we both hit ground tired. Thoughts is he into me ?

Hello, I'm 22 years old and I'm feeling very depressed about having no friends. I didn't really have a college experience (i dropped out of my first school after becoming drinking too much and never went back to campus, I took online classes to finish my degree.) so I have no college friends, and I see everyone around me on social media with their college friends going out and having fun. Additionally, my friends from high school hardly talk to me when I reach out to them, even though they Snapchat me, they never answer my texts to hangout. I moved to a new town with my fiancée, but we know no one, and there is no one in their 20s around here, mostly people 40-50. I have no clue what to do, but I'm sad because I crave a group of female friends to take cute pics with and hangout with, my social media is very dead (my last post was like a year ago, from my mom,) and no one talks to me, or even remembers me. I'm just scared I'll be 40 and regret not enjoying my 20s.

A) ask her if she's okay Or B) threatened to beat her crush up, be rude toward him and you, made fun of their clothes, and her crush wasn't doing anything wrong and you never met her crush

I moved in with a friend I met on the Internet. Yeah, it was dumb thing to do, but it happened and now I'm stuck. Now that I know her in person, she's actually quite mean and has hurt my feelings on many occasions. I am no longer comfortable around her, I don't see it as worth it to try to save the friendship, but I am stuck living with her. She will get mad if I simply avoid talking to her, as she will assume I am mad at her. I don't want to fight, I don't like to, and don't have the energy to. How can I friend break up and still keep the peace?

My ex wife told me she's pregnant I don't know how. She's not dating anyone or married we been divorced for 3 years. I haven't seen her in a while she wants me to be her son's godfather yet I have two young kids of my own. How did she get pregnant without having sex ?

Pear L ripped a huge fart- in my face! She said , "take that"! How should I handle this? Should I let it go since she is a YA legend?

My ex wife called me crying she said she wants me back but I'm married. I married my best friend on Thursday me and her have a daughter together we're having another daughter on the way in March. I don't know why she's wanting me back so badly she's not married or dating anyone she told me she's scared but she didn't say why. Even though she's my other best friend I love her but like I said I'm married with two little kids. How can I help her feel better ? What should I say to her ?

There is one guy who I know that has a learning disability, while I think he is a nice guy but he seems to be a bit too attached towards me and always shows up in the locker lobby where me and my other friends hang out at. Whenever I tell him I need to talk or catch up with my friends, he would always apologize to me on Facebook for doing something that has caused me to shun or reject him, then he would talk about the poor treatment he has received in the past, he would also ask if there is anything he can do to be a better friend, he has told me I'm a really nice, sweet lady and he wants to receive the best love & treatment from me and my friends. I'm getting so annoyed with this person that I'm thinking about unfriending him on Facebook as well as in person.

I've been out of high school for three years. I had a few friends back in high school who I haven't spoke to since we graduated. I still have their numbers in my phone. I'm thinking about reaching out to them to reconnect. I miss them and I would like to catch up with them. What do you guys think?
