Okay, so I have this friend. None of my other friends like him, they all think he is a weirdo and a waste of time. Anyway, he doesn't have that much friends, I try include him in things and help him out. He has a lot of time on his hands, has no job, stays indoors and is obsessed with being on a computer all day. I heard rumours about him pretending to be a girl on the net before to guys but didn't believe it. He is gay but wont come out of the closet because of his family religion and how they view the whole thing. He is scared. He is into me and some other people, he has told people. I haven't seen him in a while and we invited him out Saturday night. He kept complimenting me and asking me about my love life all night. He tried kissing me also and I wasn't having it. Next morning, I had a random message from a fake account on social media trying to connect with me. It was a girl and none of the pics even looked the same person on it. When I looked at the friends list on the account, the friends are all the people who HE has crushes on which made me feel sick. My friends all stay away from him, they think he's creepy and a dark person too. I just found this very coincidental. I didn't respond to the message, I blocked the account and reported it.

I'm a freshman trying to beat the seniors in a timetrial so I can get some play time. The coach said run 8 down and backs in 1min, then you're done. But, if you fail, then you have to rerun once more. I tried really hard, but I missed it by two seconds, but only two seniors made it, so it wasn't too embarrassing. As soon as I crossed, I just projectile vomited. I wiped my face then lined up for my next sprints, but a junior said "you gotta tell coach." Of course I wasn't thinking and went and told coach, he said to go find a janitor. When I got to the janitor, he was on the phone, so it took 5min to tell him. When I got back, the team had already went into the locker room. I told coach I was sorry it took so long to get the janitor, and that I owed him 8. I asked if he wanted me to do them now or next practice, and he just said I can get him later.

Friend A started an argument with friend B, then the next day acted like nothing happened at school and then online started another argument. We re trying to ignore her, but she ll probably tell the teacher. Friend C confronted her online, and friend A said friend C was being rude. Friend A acts like friend B is her bff irl, but online she is a *****. So, what should I do? Can t ignore her, she ll tell the teacher.

Usually when I first introduce myself to people and tell them my name is Rusty, they smile and say "Is that really your name?" This has happened multiple times.

I'm not making fun of fat people, it's not their fault. I just need roasts for my friend that thinks he's the best. Best answer for the best roast

I was recently talking with one of my friends and he is in this huge dilemma. He said he's been talking to this girl who happens to be his dad first cousin daughter. They met at a family reunion party and he explained since then he has these feelings for her. He told his grandfather if they were related somehow and he said no but my friend then spoke with his aunts and uncles and apparently they said yes they were. I want to be able to help him but don't know how.

I was thinking about giving her a picture frame with a few pictures of us in it. Would she like this? Or is it weird since we're not gf/bf

So basically my good friend Nathan told me he had a surprise for my 17th years birthday. When I unwrapped the gift it was a collage picture framed of the 2 of us. We took those pics over time and he put it into a collage. Honestly I find Nathan a good friend and I've know him for 10 years but that sounds to me like more of a boyfriend/girlfriend thing so I said "uhm.. that's nice" but letting him know I was uncomfortable with it. He said " you didn't like it did you?",then took it and threw it on the ground of the parking lot where were standing. What do you think?

So my friends and I are all thinking about getting a 4 bedroom apartment next year. Three of us have decided we don't want to share a place with one of the girls because she can be a little annoying and messy at times. We still want to maintain a friendship with her, but we just don't know how to tell her we don't want to live with her. She is someone who gets angry pretty easily and takes everything personal (which is another reason we don't feel comfortable living with her). The three of us have decided that we are okay with living in the same complex, just not sharing the same apartment. How do we break the news to her, without sounding mean? Thanks.

My friend made it a big deal my crush was hanging out with his best friend and his best friend's family.

I immigrated to the US from England a few years ago with my husband. We are 27 years old now. Anyways in the last 4 years we have made some friends but they don't seem very deep. Also some people we have met but they drifted away

Is it common to be scared to leave a friendship? I'm kind of in this situation with my friend who is a lot older than me. I haven't been thinking straight and I'm still not because of some medicine I got off of but I know this is just temporary. Actually I don't know what to do in this friendship. My friend that I'm talking about is really different like sometimes some of the stuff she says does not make sense so any advice for me? And going to a therapist does not help. I've been to several over the years and what I'm going through is just temporary like I said

Person A messed up the pronunciation of a word and Person B poked fun at them. Person B didn't mean any harm, but didn't stop when Person A asked. Person B can be a little dense and was confused at why person A was upset, but felt bad for upsetting her and apologized. However the apology was rough and didn't come across the way they intended and now Person A is angrier because to them the apology came off as Person B shifting the blame by saying A should've been more clear they wanted them to stop because B didn't really get it. What should I do to help them while remaining neutral?

I had up and down with this one chick that i grew up with 4 friends of the group and her name's Courtney and she was the one always have been mean to me & along with name calling so i called it like in middle school anyways we grew up with learning disabilities so we grew up in a small class in a small town up till i had moved in 9th grade anyways myspace came along she only got mad at me becaus i added her one good 'friend' i did it because I thought she wouldnt mind & was nice person to me also i thought she would had same problem as we did so i did then she got into fight with me about it & blocked me so facebook came long and I've found her to reconnected so i give her apologize and she gave my mom & my sister with a same apologize saying she wasnt her self at that time because of her grandfather have die and she had apologize and we made up with apologize so then again start fight again for like 5 times till she blocked me then last message so we fought and I've tried to apologize,she was being mean and told me that our mutual friend name Jessica said that she agree with Courtney with same names like I am annoying & i get life go make new friends so I message Jessica with a apologize and i brought up Courtney,Jessica said that this doesn't have to do with Courtney & she havent talk to Courtney. So who is lieing and how can I bring up better message to apologize where not so clingy and fake where they believe me? 20 points if you had answered this before i want to see some others thoughts and should i message facebook message in a group?

So, Long story short. This was a super great friend that I once had. We were long time friends then tried some more. Naming her Kate for identity purposes. Well Kate suffered from mental trauma since she was sexual violated by a male in her family. I understand this was terrible and I told her that I'd be there for her with whatever she needed. I truly cared. But the thing is after a while of trying things out she said she couldn't for that reason and that she knew i was great, but she couldn't because she had anger towards men. Which kinda hurt a lot. I tried to talk about it which led to her being super defensive. After some time, things cooled but we didn't really speak but I still wanted to be her friend since we were once great friends. She basically stated that I'm trying to find problems in things that aren't there that people tend to grow apart and threw in examples of how her friends were basically kinda insinuating that I should be more like them. She said things were okay when they obviously were not and evidence said otherwise. It's been a few months since I last hung out with her and it didn't go well... since she did do some things like text people the entire time we were hanging out. And some other things. which I kept quiet about. At this point i dont really talk to her, but do get extremely sad when I see her on social media for some reason. Which brings me to question... should I just end all of this by deleting her? or do leave as is? Thanks.

I went on a training trip with my fellow martial arts students. We went to Africa to visit the other schools over there. South Africa was a beautiful place but it was ruined for me by the way my fellow students treated me. They were cold and indifferent. They're all friends with each other, but didn't bother talking to me. Any time we had a conversation was when I initiated. They never bothered. They ended up excluding us from things, saying, Oh I'm just going over to Lana and Jose's apartment for a bit. Then next thing you hear is everyone over there, drinking and playing cards. I didn't get an invite. The thing is, I am with one of the senior guys. We had been together for about 8 months at the time. They know about it, we are always respectful when training, we go into our training personalities, we keep our personal lives separate from martial arts. Is it jealousy? That I might get extra training with him or something? Me and Kay were respectful and tried to participate in the group activities. Unfortunately, pretty much every morning, they would want to sit in a coffee shop for like 2 hours before training, drinking and spending money on food and having small talk. We put up with it for a decent chuck of the trip. Then, we thought, it's not rude to want to do your own thing. People are different. So we would just go and entertain ourselves a different way. We politely decline when we weren't interested and thanked them for asking. I get that people stop asking if someone always declines, no matter how polite, but we didn't always say no and there's a point where you would still consider others at least. They were so rude! One time we were at the office getting spare keys so we could come and go freely. I asked the girls if they wanted a spare key too while I was there. and Lana said; "No thanks, we don't need one cause we're like, doing everything." in this really cold accusing voice, pointing out that she had a problem Then Caleb at dinner in our apartment, literally forced food down his throat, and waited for about 5 minute before saying he was going over to the other's apartment where they had a get together without us. Having fun in their little clique until about 11:30pm (training early the next morning) And Kay was one of the drivers for th hire car, so there was one time where Josie pretty much demanded him to pick her and Lana up from kung fu school. It was like "Kay, you need to pick us up at 10:00am" Like; where's the please? What the heck is wrong with you people? :( coordinator we would just pop down the road to get groceries meanwhile. SO when we came back, Lana just gave me this total stink eye, it was so blatant.She disproved of us.. getting groceries...? And then when we were at Changi airport, we almost missed the last plane because it was a changeover. We had about 10 minutes to get from one plane to the other. Now as a group, you would think that its a common courtesy to wait outside the gate maybe, for about a minute, then all walk together. But no, they went off on their own and we were trying to find our own way there. They didn't care less to see if we had made it. The first part of update 4 got cut off, here's the first bit: There was another time when we didn't want to sit in the coffee shop, so we told our group coordinator I think the worst thing is that they can appear to be nice, 'lovely' people, but only when it's on their terms. I'm reminded of somewhere in the bible where it says, even tax collectors (money hungry, the old equivalent of a loan shark) have friends and family they love, how much harder is it to love someone who doesn't love you. Meaning that not many people are capable of being nice to someone unless they get something from it.

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. 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?

so for Halloween I wanted to have matching costumes with my best friend. she s super hot and one of the prettiest girls in school but to be fair i m not too bad myself (like I think im pretty, but not as pretty as her) and we both get a lot of attention from guys. so for Halloween we were brainstorming ideas and I said, lets be angel and devil. I explained that we would wear matching bodysuit, have horns and halos, etc, and then said "and I call being devil". then she was like no I want to be devil, and we had a little argument (mostly play fighting). she keeps asking all our friends "who should be devil and who should be angel" and the majority say that she should be devil, but I think that I should still get to be, because I literally came up with the idea AND I called it. Just because all our friends worship her and agree with every thing she says doesn t mean that she gets to be devil, right? and everytime I ask her why she deserves to be devil more than me, she says its because she has more "bad ***** energy" which is honestly really hurting my feelings because I know she s prettier than me but she doesn t have to SAY it, and use it as a reason to be devil. any suggestions on what I should do? I already told her that it was hurtful and she still insists to be devil I didn't realize yahoo censors stuff. I was saying "bad b*tch energy"

So I've been having dreams about the same person for months now. I've been feeling sad because I've never had a best friend. I realized it even when I was younger. I remember realizing at 12 that I had no friends. I've always wanted a bestie who's like a brother or family. And now I'm 21 with no friends and no best friend. Well, a couple of months back, I had a dream about a guy. The setting was: we were in a house and I was across the room from him and he was looking at me smiling with a light shining on him. And our relationship was platonic. I've had other dreams about him. And I know I want a bestie so bad, I have for years longed to have a good platonic friendship. Someone who's like family. And I feel as though I want it so much that I'm making up a guy in my head or reading too much into it. Could I be constantly dreaming about a guy because I want friends. Or could he be real? Am I so desperate for a good friend that I'm overthinking it. I've been obsessing over him for months now. And it takes up my time, it consumes me. I'm always daydreaming about him. Could he be real? Is he a figment of my imagination?

It seems like that's all I see are white, Hispanic, and mixed women with black men on social media and in the news. It seems that most of these women are doing it for the attention and the social status that it brings. Do you think this will pass anytime soon?

i've been very depressed for years and i'm finally doing so much better. i can finally say i've been happy, for weeks! and i used to do bad stuff but it's all changed i'm doing so well with everything. my bestfriend has started to change and became the worst version of herself. the things she's doing at 17 is unbelievable. she's never been this way. and i'm doubting our friendship because i'm doing so good and don't want that negativity in my life. she's became kinda rude and lies a lot now. she changed so badly. what do i do? our friendship used to be strong but i've heen tryna fix it for over a few months but it's only getting worse and i feel like she's draging me down
