I don't know why but for as long as I could remember I've ways tried to find a sense of belongingness with a group of friends but I just feel so alone. I've tried joining school clubs with people with the same interests as me and I still felt alone. I actually hate my birthday because the "friends" I have don't say it unless I remind them or have a bday party. Then when I do have a birthday party the time I'm supposed to feel the most appreciated I actually feel worse because I still feel alone Any tips on how to overcome this? (Serious answers only)

I'm keeping my friends informed about the mountaineers football game and I love to keep it funny by acting like it's a radio broadcast and occasionally throwing out a jokey sponser like mat mortuary where we don't ask questions as long as you don't and things like that. But I need more please put some down here and please keep it pg

I'm really shy and quite and I have a class with this really obnoxious guy. So during class I hear him talking to his friend and he's like "We're dating" (talking about him and I) and he was saying it in that annoying way like he knew I could hear him and he was saying it sarcastically. It made me feel uncomfortable and annoyed. Then his friend called me and he was like "are you two dating?!" And they were both joking but it was really obnoxious. So of course because I'm really shy I just looked at them really annoyed and shook my head. But like how am I even supposed to react to something like that?! People who are like that annoy me so much

So lately I've been having a rough time like with anxiety and school and I guess I've been a little off and kinda avoiding to talk to her since I wasn't really in the mood to talk to people. But I still kind of wanted to talk to her because I just wanted to talk to someone about how I feel because I've been bottling it up this entire time. So she just texted me if I'm ok and how I've been a little off lately and idk why I'm nervous cause I don't wanna seem needy and just overshare with her. Should I just say I'm fine and forget it or should I talk to her? I'm not sure why but I feel guilty and weird if I open up to her.

The question is simple, I will add some more information though. A couple weeks back she spent some time alone with her and came home late, about 2 hours later than she previously said she would, extremely giddy and hyper (At 2 am). She had a conversation with her recently in an odd manner, she made a unexpected walk around the block with out me while on the phone with her friend. I did unintentionally see a conversation over text dated that same night that seemed like parts were deleted, it began with a rather suggestive photo with a reply from my fiance indicating that she wanted a call from her "Dude you need to call me." We had a fight that same night over the fact that another friend had told her I wasn't invited to a party that she was invited too. She claimed to try get her friend to change her mind but claimed it was because her friend didn't know me well enough. The original idea prior to that rejection was for my fiance not to go if I couldn't, however she wanted to go anyway and couldn't explain to me why she had. We had planned a date night with a red box movie this evening a week ago and plans changed to wanting nothing but intimate time with me. I know its great to have an active sex life but she seems to oddly want it more now. Should I be worried?? Update: To clear something up, the text to call and photo came in on her phone minutes before her friend called. Originally I thought her friend called without prompting.

Recently, I've been feeling very annoyed and negative towards my best friend. I've been friends with them for over five years, they're a good friend to me, they haven't really done anything wrong to me. But over the summer, they were really depressed and would rely on only me to talk to, they would get jealous and sad whenever I talked to anyone else but them. And it just made me feel depressed and frustrated and lonely. They're fine now, but sometimes I get very annoyed when talking to them and I suddenly don't feel like talking to them. I don't know why, everything's been resolved with them but I still feel this way and I know they probably think that I think they're a nuisance to me which definitely isn't something I want them to be. I just want to know why I've been feeling this way and what I can do to change this.

Like if they said weird stuff and if they were a lot older than you? And also if they were females

My friend has been doing a few rude things to me lately like talking behind my back and stuff like that. Is there anything I can do about it besides not being her friend anymore?

My roommate spilt something on her pants, and she told me that she went into my drawer to use my nail polish remover, to get the stain out. However, she didn't ask me first. When I got back to my dorm, she told me that she meant to text me (but she didn't) to tell me that she had used my stuff but forgot. So, am I wrong for being a little upset at her for not asking first?

I'm a hairdresser who's 19 years old who started working at a new salon in May of this year. I've been working there full time for 6 months now. The problem is, I still feel like the new kid. Most of my colleagues are 10+ years older than me and treat me with little respect. I'm always polite, ask them how they are, how their weekend was and about their kids / partners etc. I work more hours than any one else does, always take extra shifts if no one else can because I'm the only one who doesn't have kids. I try to help them out by cleaning up after them when I don't have customers, and can't think of any reason why or how I could have offended them. I always feel like I have to start conversations with them, or else we will sit in silence. They all tend to go out for lunch as a "work" type of gathering and not invite me. Some of them even act snobby and rude towards me which I can honestly say I have done nothing to yield this. The only thing I can come up with is they don't take me seriously in a professional environment because of my age, or perhaps because I'm from another country than they are. I suffer from anxiety and this really hurts my work performance when I don't feel like a welcomed or valued employee. I'm at loss for ideas about what to do. I'm often really upset after work and it's making me very unhappy. I don't expect my colleagues to be my friends, or honestly even like me. I just want them to be polite and treat me with some respect. Any ideas?

Some friends picked me up from my house (live in the suburbs) and they had the music loud, I asked them to turn it down when I came outside and they got mad at me. Was I wrong for that?

I made a friend a couple months ago from my class and we hang out each time after class. She does not speak with any expression in her voice and hardly ever laughs. When we supposedly "hang out", she plugs in her headphones the entire time and doesn't say a word, or is doing homework. I try talking to her or to get her attention because this makes me very bored very quick and she makes a face at me or says she's busy, so I gave up trying to talk to her. Also when I am talking and laughing with my other friends she says, "Hurry up. Let's go." as if she wants to hang out with me! But then when we go to hang out, she DOESN'T TALK! I get sooooo bored sitting there in silence and it's so awkward for me. I just put in my own headphones at this point and text my other friends or listen to music. She is so serious and almost emotionless. Very quiet and I can tell she gets irritated when I talk too much or flat out ignores me. What can I do? Is this even my friend

I recently decided to keep a distance with a friend of mine who said something that I took it personally when she didn't mean it to be personal. I was being a little self-conscious and I just did not want to talk to her and did not want to bring it up to her. After a couple of weeks later, she noticed and asked me if she wanted to catch up with her and grab food. I met up with her and I told her about the reason behind my behavior and apologized to her and she also apologized and respected my reaction and the story behind it. As a guy, I was a little embarrassed that I did such a thing out of self-consciousness and she wanted to listen to my side of story. I was happy that she invited me out... she was understanding of it. I felt awkward because I had made the situation awkward to a point that she told me that she'd respect me even if I didn't want to continue our friendship and I feel bad about it too because that's not what I want. She was seemed content that we were able to talk it out and clear the misunderstanding. Would she find me uncomfortable from now on?

Thirth-four years ago I worked with a friend. I know her first name. I know that her last name starts with an M. I spent some time @ her home so, I have a 34-year-old address. I have been thinking of her quitr a bit lately and would love to find her to reconnect

So I've had this friend (who is a female) for several years and she has been a great friend. However, we recently went out and her mom was with us and well lets just say (after a few too many) I was "caught" with mom in the back seat. Do I apologize? Do I say that her mom was a willing participant? Its not like us as friends were ever doing anything sexual.

So my best friend (who is a guy) has been trying to set me up with one of his other good friends for a long time. He knows me from college and he knows this other guy from work, so we didn't cross paths for a while but i know he hyped us up to each other before we met After the first time I met the guy I was trying to be set up with, he told my friend that i was really cute and that he was definitely interested. The second time we were at the same party and I saw him but I was stone cold sober, really tired, and just wanted to leave for some reason so i didn't go talk to him. He later told my friend he wanted to come talk to me but he was too nervous. Then the other night we ran into each other at another party and talked for a while. he got my snapchat and we got along well. then this morning he snapchatted me and we had a brief conversation about the night before until he left me on read. what happened? is this a bad sign? i'm not super into this guy because i barely know him, but i was down to mess around if he was. does this mean he's no longer interested? he started the conversation though so i don't know. Normally i'm not weird about stuff like this. if i'm dating someone, i don't mind if they leave me on read because i know that i get busy and distracted as well. however i do think it's a different ballgame in the early stages of flirting i think you would be unlikely to leave someone you were trying to get with on read. thoughts?

I'm a senior in high school. I'm a very pretty girl. I'm very confident on my looks. But not with my personality. People usually want to be my friend and try to bring me into activities. I'm an introvert but I still want to have fun and do things with people. I'm very nice but I'm quiet. I do try to talk but I'm not into some things other people are around me. I've made a few friends but I don't know how to be a friend back. They like to give hugs everytime we see each other but I find it weird. Recently I reunited with my bestfriend from my childhood and I love her 💓 she was the same way. The first day we had so much fun together but my insecurities kicked in and it got awkward. She's still around but she's a bit more distant. If I lose her I'll be in tears. 💔 (Friends for 7 years and she's a really good person and we can relate). Nobody texts me besides ppl I've never really met. Guys have taken advantage of me. (3). I feel like I'm just that stereotypical pretty girl with a boring personality, and not that smart that won't make it anywhere. I have a good heart. I have interest like drawing and design. And I try to make people happy around me. Why do I keep losing them after they try to be mine?

I'm a male and I took my friend's word a little personally and I did not want to talk to her because I felt self-conscious about it. But she was kind enough to reach out to me to catch up to listen to me to clear up any misunderstanding and I apologized to her... she insisted that she wants to stay friends unless I feel uncomfortable about her... I feel that I've made the situation more awkward than it needed to be... I'm glad she reached out to me after I wanted to keep distance out of self-consciousness I initially said nothing and wanted to keep distance then she noticed and talk to me

I asked my friends go to out to eat since we haven't seen hangout for a while, ( we are all very close friends), i let them picked the time and they said around 6:30PM, i said yes, so after work i waited at home until 7:15, so i sent them a msg saying" I got to hungry so i ate already." the fact is i didn't eat, and i was mad, they replied" we just got home from the gym, so no more dinner?" i replied yes. And instead they got mad.......

My friend and I were talking on the phone today and our conversation seemed kinda weird. She was saying some weird stuff like we got on the subject of marijuana for some reason and she joked about that me and her should smoke it and I told her that I didn't think it was good to joke about that but she acted like it was fine to joke about it so is that weird that she said that? and me and her are both adults and we are both females by the way
