I have someone in my life who isn't really a friend to me, but I'm a friend to them, therefore I try to listen to them as much as I can. This person is always very down and is always putting very heavy things on me mentally, and they are always doubting my loyalty and realness as a person. In short, talking to them instantly lowers my mood. I've suggested that they get some professional help as well as help from myself, as a qualified person could help them more, but they just make excuses as to why they won't be visiting a professional (Health care is free here too, so it isn't about the money). I am at a loss of what to do, I don't want to end up losing my patience and snapping.

im a male also and this guy talked to me in the store and asked for my number. i couldnt tell he was gay but im friendly guy anyway so id be friends with anyone. one day he asked me out to eat and i said i was going to be with my girlfriend. As soon as he heard girl friend he doesn't associate with me anymore. i feel bad like i broke his heart or something. what should i do?

I start a new school next week soooo....

She acts nice to me, but when she shares her thoughts in groups, she never looks at me or bothered to ask for my opinions.

Alright so I have this friend and I hear from everyone that she's fake! She talked bad about someone and that someone told me that they over heard her and that's why they stopped being friends with her. This friend is always hanging out with me but half the time she's just using my phone to text people and it's really annoying because my battery's always super low at the end of the day and she's always yelling things at my phone?? like she'll yell "bish" or something like that, oh and today she locked me outside during lunch and it was raining out and she laughed so I ran to the other door and she tried to close it (cause some boy opened it) and when I got in she just yelled "NO!" also she tells a lot of lies like how she's a vampire and stuff.. I really dislike her because she does lot she of things that she thinks are funny but actually hurt other people's feelings (including mine!) and lots of other people have told me she's fake and I REALLY wanna ditchcher but idk how.. and I also don't know how to many any new friends :(

So I recently had a conversation with a friend about how I felt like she had been distancing herself from me for about a year. I told her that I felt like she always put her family and boyfriend above her friends and that I felt our friendship was very one-sided and that I was doing most of the work. She agreed, and said that spending time with her family makes her feel "content" and that she doesn't really need to hangout with friends. I explained that I'm different. Overall, we both realized that we had been viewing our friendship in two different ways (we have been friends for three years). The conversation we had was really polite and I don't think there were many hard feelings, just a lot of understanding. Personally, I feel like I should distance myself from the friendship since it has caused me a lot of anxiety, and I didn't like being told that she would be content without seeing me. I'm not going to try and burn any bridges, just take a step back from the friendship. Is that rude to her? Like I'm giving up on the friendship in a way? Sorry this is so long and thank you for your help!

I was at a party and the host Billie asked me to drive June home because June was too drunk to drive. I was not drinking. Billie asked me to stay with her until she was sober as the last time she was this drunk she choked on her vomit and they had to take her to the hospital emergency room. I said sure and I drove June to her apartment. She was barely able to walk because she was so drunk. I carried her in and put her to bed. I slept on her couch, checking her often to see that she was OK. In the morning she wanted to know what I was doing in her apartment. I explained to her what happened. She said, Did I f— her". I told her "no". I would consider that rape. I told her I stayed with her until I knew she was sober and would not hurt herself. She really appreciated what I had done for her and said "You are really a nice guy not to f— when I was drunk and to spend the night with me to take care of me. I want to get to know you better". I got a call from Billie the next day thanking me for what I had done for June. She said everyone at her party really cares about June and it was very rare that someone June barely knew would take such good care of her and not take advantage of her when she was drunk. Billie wants to honor me at a dinner for what I did for June. I don't know if I want to attend a party that honors me because I did not have sex. Is what I did that uncommon? Should I go to the party?

So I came in to work today and my boss is like "did you get a ride today?" "Who exactly drove you to work??" Why would a boss ask his employee this and is it normal behaviour? Is he allowed or supposed to ask me this?

We're both college students and she's studious. We hung out a few times for lunch/dinner/coffee/on our school campus/outside of campus. I've known her for about 8 months now. We've taken a few classes together but not this semester. We've been through a misunderstanding recently where I sort of avoided her out of self-consciousness. She contacted me first asking me to have lunch, where we talked things out. I was a bit worried that she'd be uncomfortable with me so I've been careful. Although she doesn't seem to be posting much on social media, she seems to know what I'm posting on my page because when we talk, she'd talk about some of the posts I've posted my page. However she responds late sometimes... sometimes very late to my msgs. A few days ago, I met up her on campus to have coffee with her, this was just a week after we had met up to talk things out to restore our relationship. I was careful to ask her to coffee insisting if she's busy, it's okay. She complied and we had hung out for a bit. She offered me to taste her ice cream she ordered and insisted that she'd share her utensil with me since I was only going to give it a try. Because she was working on something and taking a break to meet me, she insisted we'd go back to the library she was at, so I stayed with her for a bit but didn't stay too long because I had to go. After hanging out, she initiated a hug but it wasn't the same... I'm wondering if she still feels uncomfortable with me.

My friend is friends with another girl who bullied me. She and I don't talk anymore . I feel like my friend is being disloyal to me if she's friends with that other girl who bullied me.

If you can't find any friends, are you the only person you can blame? Or, can external factors be to blame?

Sometimes I close my eyes and try to do normal stuff like eating, walking around, going to the bathroom, etc, all to 'see' (heh get it because i cant see) what it's like. I know that when you're blind, it's different than closing your eyes, since you still can see. You're just seeing the back of your eyelid. But when you're blind you don't see anything. Period. A common misconception is that blind people see black, but if they could see, then they're not blind aren't they? Anyway am I the only one?

He says negative instead of no, "roger", "stand by one". It's incredibly irritating. I don't mind when actual ex-military people use military terms, but this guy works in public relations and sounds ridiculous. Can I ask him to stop?

I know it sounds silly but there's this guy and I'm really in love with him. He's all I think about he makes me happy he completes me he makes me feel happy and good inside. I'm very attracted to him it's definitely honeymoon stage I'm always melting. But however I don't care about his personal well being like I don't care about his family there's stuff about him that I just don't care about or it wouldn't bother me..so I know that I don't love him. I feel that to love someone you have to be with them longer to care about them. He may love me but I don't love him however I'm very happy and feel good inside.. my stomach hurts all the time because I'm filled with butterflies..overal is this possible?

I'm new to Snapchat... I only have about 20ish friends. So recently I added a friend...we lost touch a few years back and had a thing for one another before I got married (14 yrs ago). Anyhow...he added me but then I did not see him on my friend list after a few days. I thought he decided to not accept me and blocked me instead. After that...I was going to post something when I see him on my recent list. I googled it...and I guess it means that he is tilll my friend but I'm not part of his private group of friends who he only shares his snapshot posts. Is this true? And can he see my snap chat posts? He does not appear on the list of those friends who has seen your posts. Just confused....

When somebody annoys me, I can't stop them. Even if i clearly tell them that hey, stop it! It's like i'm invisible to them.. Some guys who are physically stronger than me, they annoy my mother or syster easily knowing that i'm not going to be able to stop them. When somebody is wrong, whatever i do to stop them hurting/disrespecting me.. it's no good. I have to ask somebody else to stop them. Because they HAVE that power which I'm talking about. I think i NEED some power to be seen in my social circle and be able to control the situation by myself.. without the need to ask a third party to solve the problem for me. I know it is ok to ask for help but in my case, i feel and see myself in close to zero level of power and have became a guy who almost always loose the fight just because of this root problem. Any of you have similar problem? What should i do to solve it? Any advice is appreciated.

My best friend and I just started high school this year,&& she continously asks me if I met new people. To be honest it just seems like she doesn't want me to meet new people. Maybe I am overthinking? Also sometimes she just shows off she has a lot of friends, and jokes about me not having friends. What do you guys think? Gracias

A close friend of mine has been talking **** about me around my small, all girls high school. Everyone told me what she said, as she is know for generally being mean and doesn't have the reputation (she is really cruel). She told my best friend I'm a bad, flaky friend; then told another friend that I'm a "known liar" before telling someone else that I'm not funny. My feelings are very hurt because she is my neighbor and I let her come over frequently even though she can be very rude because it doesn't seem like she has anywhere else to go. I just texted her and had a long conversation after she's been glaring at me in every class and trying not to talk to me, or making rude comments. When I asked why she was mad at me she told me that I have told people her family secrets and didn't address any other comments she made about me. When I asked why she would be friends with me when she hates me so much she said that she had been upset with me before but though it would "blow over." I told her I wish she would have told me how much she hated me/how mad she was at me before telling everyone else. I haven't opened her response because I feel so betrayed and let down.

We hardly have anything to talk about. Lately any time she talks it's either complaining about something or awkward silence. Even our phone calls are the same. I don't mind listening to someone rant, that's not the problem. It's when all the conversations start with "I'm bored....I'm so bored" and then proceed to awkward silence... I'm not sugar coating when i say this: she's a nice person, as far as I see and know, therefore I don't wanna be remotely rude to her and hurt her feelings. I doubt i can just pop up after weeks of silence and say "hey im sorry its just not working out, we should go our seperate ways, no hard feelings". Yes people get over something like this, but people like her, (as in, those who might have a hard time getting over loosing another friend) might take it too hard considering how sensitive they are. And I cant just stay as her friend because that would be stringing along something that isn't even there anymore.  How should I go about breaking up with her? How do I do it as gently as possible in a way that she won't think I'm making up an excuse or lying? And what would I say or how should I act to not seem hostile or unwelcoming, I wanna let her know it's ok that I'm not mad at her (she thinks I'm mad). And would my response to this situation change if my friend was a male? I'm asking cause I have the same situation with him. Please help, they need closure.

Why can I never meet new friends and someone I can love and show them what I have to give. I want to find someone I can make feel like they are in heaven, romance them and tell them how they make me feel. I walk on Kent Campus and just feel like I'm a ghost. Nobody notices me. I smile and they look away sometimes. I have had this issue making friends for a long time. I make friends and good ones too, but I always end up having to contact them or else we would never see each other again. I just am not happy and have not in a while. A couple days ago I just had this dark day and was wanting to find a way out; drive off the road, something to do it. Why do I feel like I don't belong on this world? I'm just ready. Ready to not hurt. Why does it hurt me 😞 women complain about men, but when a good man is there, they don't realize it.

He said that there was a 30 year old woman trying to get a lift from his friend and she jumped in and started saying she just took crack and he played with her hair and pushed her head a little bit and she just did it.. then he's friend backed up the story.. My friend was 17 at the time.... true or not true coz 1 I've heard him talk balogne before about being to prison when I saw him during that time but 2 his friend backed it up?

Which one is worse, a back stab or a heart stab. Which one defines betrayal more and which one can kill you out of these two stabs?

It's the worst thing ever. When someone tries to have a conversation with me, my replies are always "really? yeah. alright. oh wow." It's like, I want to talk to people. But, my social skills are trash and I don't want anyone to think I am weird.

Hey guys, my name is Steven and I'm 24 years old. At my work theres this woman who I find very beautiful, she has an amazing personality but shes 35 and she has a husband. I see her once or twice a week and we always talk when we see eachother at work. I always make her laugh and smile, and I've noticed that she is always staring at me. I don't know if she knows I like her, but shes always trying to read me to find out. Could she be attracted to me????????? Any advice ?  Just so you guys know I'm not planning on making a move but I'm just curious!!

I was in a relationship with him for 4 years. He was cold to me. He referred to women as "broads", "dumb c***ts" etc. He's a car salesman and him and his buddies would take pics of teenage girls butts in leggings from their desks at the dealership and share the photos, best photo gets free lunch. He'd watch porn on my laptop and actually gave my computer a virus. He called me fat even though I was 5'6 135 lbs and he actually said to me "we have no long term prospects if you get any fatter, would you want to date me if I was fat? " He wasn't easy going, ocd about things being his way. If I did something like wear my shoes in our apartment after he swept he'd give me the silent treatment for 2-3 days, ignoring me as if I was invisible which was incredible draining. He never paid for a meal for me, despite making 65k when I made 40k and I treated him many times. He was emotionally abusive, cold, and not the warm comforting type at all. I was really good to him.He acted like I was nothing and had no respect for me. Now he's dating a girl 13 yrs younger who's 20. She posts photos of them with snapchat bunny faces, bear faces, laughing and smiling. I know because she liked my photos on instagram to get me to look at her page. He treats her to dinner, is silly with her, seems like a complete 180. He suddenly likes pumpkin picking, corn mazes, romantic comedies, coffee shops and going thrift shopping with her... She's 4'11 and probably 140 lbs and he comments saying "youre beautiful" and I'm not saying shes overweight. Just that I'm a lot smaller than her weight wise even at my heaviest and he would torment me saying I was fat, he threw away my food, it was so bad his friends actually intervened and told him he was being abusive and asked him to stop but he says shes beautiful at 4'11 140 lbs. she is quite chubby. Not judging just doesnt make sense that he'd bully me for my weight and embrace her size
