Listen I have no issues with anyone who smokes weed or anything. I know plently of my friends who smoke weed and I have no issue with them. I have one best friend she's like my best friend in the world and I literally hate it when she smokes, It's weird because I'm cool with other people smoking but she's different like I just find it stupid that she would do it and I don't even wanna be around or be her friend sometimes just because of it. Like why I do have this feeling towards her

I am 20 years old. From elementary, middle to high school, all I had was acquaintances. People in my schools were straight up assholes, so it was hard to click with people. Going into college, I met a few cool people. People that I can somewhat connect with. Yet, I still haven't found people that are weird and goofy like me. People in my age group just want to party smoke and drink. I've tried it before, but I just didn't like it. I'm just a geeky girl who likes to draw and watch anime. (Unfortunately, my uni does not have an anime club or an art club). Is it normal to be alone? Is it okay to not have a best friend? I mean, it's nice to just have yourself once in a while, but it can get pretty boring and frustrating to not have friends.

I honestly dont know what to do anymore. im a homeschooled teenager who's raised by her grandmother. i used to be in public school but she wants me to "get better at math before going again". so untill then im stuck in this co-op group with people i dont trust. the last school i went to and house i lived in is an hour away which may not seem so bad, but im starting to loose connections with old friends i loved and trusted. the only person i have left is my boyfriend and i have to hide our relationship from my grandparents. he's the only one i feel like i can truly trust. im just so alone and scared and feel like i cant make connections with the people i want to be friends with. i'm trapped.

For example, I get along with my friends pretty much perfectly and we have long conversations. However I feel like whenever I talk to random people at school or work I can't really connect with them at all.

I feel I've been socially ruined, I don't have many friends and those they I had don't really talk to me anymore. This person they all respect, what can I do to move on?

Many people i met and know seem lonely. They have friends but with work and everything else, they only see them once in a while. The usual routine for most people i know is work, come home, sleep, work, come home sleep. Then on weekends, they just stay home and do nothing because they are tired from working the whole week. Maybe go out here and there but not much. Most of the time, they are just alone.

I work in a call centre, and I ve known this girl Jessica since the beginning of the year. But on Monday of last week we began texting more and more, she even admitted she has feelings for me but for personal reasons shes scared to be in a relationship. She mentioned that she has a very dark past........so later She said she wants to try and work things out with me because I m such a fun, handsome guy..she would be texting me all the time, non stop. She couldn t wait to go on a date with me. We finally went out Monday and she kept taking pictures of us, and she kept hugging me...she was very happy with me that day. .. She even had the need to tell me one of her biggest secrets. She said She used to hangout with the wrong crowd, and she even divorced this guy 3 years ago, and he used to beat her up so she left him. But he still tries to contact her, and apperantly he and his friends are always spying on her.. she had to buy a house out of town because of her past. She feels as if her past wont stay in the past, She told me it s best to stay as friends to avoid something bad happening. She told me not to act different or awkward towards her at work, and that I can still talk to her at work.... She asked for a hug before she got out of my car.....but that night I was texting her but she was acting distant, she kept saying that "we are just friends " we used snapchat to always contact eachother, but u noticed the next day after our date that she deleted me. Like I dont understand what happened here????????????? Im Soo confused. She should have told me all this in the beginning. Can I please have advice??????????????

I'm a sophomore in high school and I've been in school for about 2 months now and it's been horrible, well for the first 2 months I had one person to sit with at lunch but it was very awkward with because we had nothing in common and last week she stopped sitting with me and she made new friends, she went to go sit somewhere else and it looks like she's having a jolly good time, now at lunch time I am sitting at a table all by myself. How do I handle this? I feel so sad and suicidal. People keep looking at me because I'm alone, I'm a very socially awkward person. I just don't know how to talk, how do I talk? What are cool things to say?

I have my first hour with her everyday, and there are only 8 kids in my first hour including me. And she's friends with all the other girls in the class and I want to be friends with them too but it's hard for me to start conversations and talk to people, how do I just become friends I guess 😂

My friend is suicidal and i found out she started again. About 2 months ago she went to er. because she overdosed on depressant meds and then a month ago she went because she was starting to try again. I didnt know what to do she made me promise not to tell her mom. I didnt know what else to do so i called the police and asked them to do a wellness check on her i didnt know that it would turn in to such a huge ordeal. My mom is the one who suggested i do it. Anyways they did think that she needed a 51/50 test so they took her to th hospital to get checked. Her mom ended up finding out. Now she hates my guts. She is like a sister to ms. We even called each other sisters. I cant stop thinking about all of it. Its killing me that she wont talk to me. She blocked me on everything. I cant even talk to her about it and tell her why i did what i did. Does anyone know lr have suggestions on how to get her to be my friend again?

I'm a pretty reserved person when I'm talking to new people. Once I warm up to them, I'm pretty outgoing. The problem is initiating a conversation. Last year during my freshman year, due to a few difficulties, my class was separated from the other freshman. Now during my sophomore year, we are dispersed and I have no idea how to make new friends. Most of my old friends aren't in most of my classes so I Andy see that in class. How can I make new friends.

My friend is very self interested and liberal. She can't talking about anything but church stuff or else it turns into a fight, he getting sassy, and her just turning it all on herself. I hate always having to rant about her and I can't take it anymore! It is effecting how my friends and I view church with her too bc we all just feel negative and don't want to feel that way! She is supposed to be our best friend, but she never cares about our feelings. She just blows us off and talks about herself. And I really can't do it anymore but I NEED HELP! Please ppl just give me advice on how to handle her

So these two people I know are dating, right? Well, ever since they started, they have ignored all their friends. They are okay when apart from each other, but you cannot talk to either of them if they are together. And the thing is, they ALWAYS want to be together. I feel like they are isolating themselves, and I worry for them. I worry that they are going to push away the few friends they have. And the friends even try to talk to them but they just ignore them! Is there anything I could do or say? Or should I just stand by and let the two isolate themselves/figure it out themselves?

Okay I've been asking a lot of people's opinions about this and they all feel indifferent. So I play for my highschool team and we're having a pink breast cancer awareness game. Each of use paid $25 for a jersey, socks, and a headband. When I went to go get mine, my coach asked for my number which is 30. She says that they accidentally put 12 which is another girls number who has the same name as me. Since it's her number originally they didn't give me the jersey and told me they would have to figure it out yesterday. Well the game is tomorrow and you can't have two of the same number in a game. Idk what to do cause I don't wanna be rude and say that it's not fair but I also paid for the items. Opinions?

A guy that I have been very close with and been in a relationship for 8 years married off another woman and had a baby behind my back while I was out the country studying . When I found out I broke up with him and he still tries to keep in touch and recently he hit me up and tries to act like I am his "friend" so he sent me his baby pictures I was super drunk and I started calling him crying about how he could do this and that to me when I was a good girlfriend towards him then blocked him . Did I make the right choice? why would he marry a woman he barely knows and still want to keep in touch ? Throughout the relationship was it all a lie ? PLEASE HELP I'm literally depressed.

Read this first please. I'm back in my home state taking a semester off. In the meantime I'm just working 6 days a week. All of my friends are in college, and I've become distant with a lot of people I was close to since I've been in a different state. I see probably 2 friends a week. Is that normal?

I m a very quiet person. I like my space and keep my opinions to myself. I m very observant and I don t really have much to say. It also is due to my history of being taken for granted and Advantage of my kindness. I don t have friends and I m 24. Talking to younger or older students in college. I don t understand why they are moody and often shrug me off when I try to get to know them. They are very judgemental and talk so much amongst themselves. The older ones want to fit in with this and act that age. I don t know what I m doing wrong I don t know if being quiet is giving them the wrong perceptions of me. Do I have to act like something I m not like everybody else? and why don t people reciprocate with the same kind of friendship or kindness anymore what happened to people?

I was away for a while with my dad He died so I came back with my mom I WAS always happy and active i would do childish things an have fun Until my birthday they thought a was like 11 no I'm 15 now I've been told to get a job and stop playing with toys. I have to hang out with friends rather than playing at the park My friends know I'm always happy and energetic. They told me they noticed my behavior and lately I've been depressed no one takes me seriously. I can run fast but today was the track try outs. I was forced to do it. Mid run i quit because being happy isn't appreciated here. It's all business. I'm not going to kill myself though because it not worth it but I can't be happy anymore. My grades are dropping and I get worse everyday. I've taken off of school for a week now. When should I go back?

I'm 21 years old and I've never had a bestie. I've never had good friends. I am socially awkward. I know it gets harder to make friends as you get older. How do I make friends? Where?

I have this friend who works with me in a hospital, but she only works weekends........ she only works weekends because she has to take care of her daughters and she's a single mom. But she has a side job, she works in a strip club and she is surrounded by a lot of bikers. there's a lot of guys there who harass her and a lot of those guys even stalk her. Most of the time she says she feels very controlled by some of those guys... I don't understand why shes still there??? She says it's a bad environment for her, then why does she continue to work there???????? Well shes a single mom, and she was able to buy a big home for herself and her 2 daughters. She bought a nice car.....
