Now its kindve like rocket science to me..

There's a guy that has been in my life for 5 years now. He always had a thing for me but because of trust issues that happened when we first met, it took me a while to take things to the next level. Long story short, we were together for 6 months. The whole 6 months were a roller coaster. I forgave him for many things I shouldn't have and continuously stuck around. Things ended this summer because of personal issues on his end and we agreed on being friends. At first I was fine with it, but after a while, I realized the feelings were still there (he said his were too). I'm at a point where I am extremely frustrated and I've been getting upset over a lot of little things he does. A month ago, he was telling me how much he missed the fun times we used to have. Lately, he's been distant as hell and it's honestly affecting me. One day everything is great, the next day it's like I mean nothing to him. The inconsistency hurts and I tend to overthink everything. As much as I want him in my life, I feel like it's unhealthy for me right now. I want to talk to him about everything on my mind instead of just walking away, I just don't know how. We were the couple that was basically "best friends" and it hurts so much that we are where we are right now. Any advice?

I address my friend's father as Mr Mitchell (not his real name) not because he asks me to but because I choose to. He is the father of my friend and not MY friend. Similarly said friend has two older sisters. One I am on first name terms with as we know each other. The other is married and several years older than me (I'd say 5 years?) and I have only met her once. I call her Mrs Wallace (not her real name) again out of choice and respect. Is this the correct thing to do?

I live in a college apartment dorm with my friend from freshman year, and we have a study area outside of our dorm (but inside our "apartment" if that makes sense. Kind of like a living room). So yesterday, I decided to study in our "living room" instead of studying in our dorm (my student I.D is needed in order to open the door to our dorm) and I left my phone (with my I.D in the case) in our dorm because I was studying, and I get distracted if o have my phone near me. Anyway, my roommate was in our dorm while I was studying, and occasionally she'd come out into the living room, but she'd close (the door locks when it's closed) the door behind. I had to ask her THREE times to leave the door open, because I was in the living room studying, and didn't have my I.D. She says she kept forgetting to leave the door open, but I had to tell her 3 times within 15 minutes, so I'm starting to think that she didn't forget. But maybe I'm too skeptical?

I made a new friend this semester.. im a very shy and introverted person so i do not have a lot of friends.. she talks to me in class, we sometimes call, we always hang out during class.. but I would like to hang out other then in class.. but she always hangs out with her best friend who we are also in the same classes with.. so why can't we hang out all together? I am not going to try to invite myself but.. I just feel like she does not think of me as a close friend as I think of her? I tried to ask her many times if we can hang out over the past 2 months but she says she cant because she has hw to do, she already made plans with her best friend even tho they hang out everyday and are roommates and that makes me feel like she does not want to hang out with me? but when her friend comes along she is willing to go together.. i text her if we can go to a class field trip together and she seems kinda annoyed and just replies with "yeah" and sometimes we planned to go together but she suddenly changed her location and did not tell me so i end up going alone.. she is really friendly and she is the one who comes up to me and talks to me in class.. so i don't know why she is not willing to become as close to me as she is with her other friend? i guess i am a little disappointed.. and she always says we should do this and that but we never do because she rather hang out with her other friend

I live in a house with 5 other guys. For the past 2 months one of my friends that I lived with had began doing laundry alot more than he normally ever did. Literally like three times a week. He would always leave his laundry there for days and even when I'd ask him to come get his stuff he would always take forever to get it or have me bring it upstairs for him. I sometimes would too. Not only this, he'd have things in the washer AND dryer. After some time I stopped telling him his stuff was there because I knew he would ask me to bring his stuff upstairs...so I would move his stuff out of the dryer and put it on top of it, even though it sometimes was slightly wet...I planned to put it back as soon as my stuff were done because if I waited for him he would never come get his stuff. I would even move his stuff from washer to dryer...stuff he never did for me This happened again..he left to another town for the past weekend and left his laundry unattended to. And it was there all the way up to yesterday. My other friend left his laundry in the washer...me not knowing it was someone elses took it out and put it in with the guys who left to Madison. I thought they were both his. I also turned the dryer on. The friend who left to Madison was furious and said I was mishandling his clothes and that I should never put his stuff with others. I said I did not know the other clothes were his. We got into a big argument. Personally I hate how he is the only one doing laundry three times a week and leaves it their for days. I am wrong in any way here?

My friend and I of 15 years recently got into a fight because she says I don't spend enough time with her and that the last time we "met up for real" was several months ago. We met up a month ago, but she doesn't count it because we didn't talk about everything she wanted to, despite the fact that we spent an hour and a half together. During the summer when I had a lot of free time, I would visit her several times a week, but now that I'm busy, I'm having a hard time meeting up with her. She pointed out that I'm not proving myself or putting in effort for this friendship because I'm not making time for her when I'm busy. Is this a reasonable way of thinking? I am genuinely busy now that I'm in a graduate program in school, and I personally think she's being selfish, but I want to hear an objective viewpoint.

My college roommate doesn't wrap her pads, and I've talked to her about this several times, and she still doesn't get it. For example, when she's on her period, she'll wrap the pad wrapper, but not the pad. Then, she used wipes (when she's on her period) and instead of wrapping those up, she'll just put them in the trash, exposed. She does the same thing with her panty liners. She'll wrap the wrapper, but not the pad. So, I asked her if she was taught how to properly dispose of her pads, and she said yes, and that the reason for her not wrapping her pads was because she forgot she was on her period and freaked out. However, I don't believe that because she's 20, so that means that she probably has had her period for at least 5 years now. No woman should be freaking out about being on her period at that age. So, do I just deal with it or...?

won't let you follow them on Instagram or Snapchat? Now, I'm still friends with these ppl, yet social media is such an interesting thing. You would think that they wouldn't mind adding you at all, just as friends, but I find it weird if they never accept you some odd reason. The only exception includes: - They don't want you to see their pictures or stories because they you may not be as close to them (friendship wise) But as time goes along, who knows if they may have a change of heart. Plus, I like to stay in touch whenever I meet new people. Now, I understand that people come and go, but it kinda sucks when people aren't as open towards each other these days. I just wish more people took more chances in life. And who knows? That one person you rejected could become famous someday... On an extra note, you still have the power to make your own choices on who you want to meet and such, but still...

I have had plans for the past two months to travel for this long weekend. My school originally had plans to have a large event this weekend but canceled due to budget cuts. Yet at the last minute they said it was back on. I am graduating next month. I really want to travel. I also really want to go to the event because it will be the last event that all my friends will all be in one place together before we graduate. My family also wants to spend time with me this weekend. So do I still travel or cancel and stay with the people that mean the most to me?

We've been friends since we were 8. We ended up going to different universities, and we started becoming different people, but still we would call every couple of months and talk like normal as if no time has passed. Anyway, we graduated from uni about 7-8 years ago. She didn't work afterwards (her parents support her), but I was working full time which meant that I had less free time than her. But I would still call her every few months to catch up (and every time she gives me a tongue lashing for most of the conversation about how I don't call her enough or how she called me once a few months earlier but I didn't call back). I'd explain that I was extremely busy and she wakes up like 8 in the afternoon so how am I supposed to find the time to call her. Anyway, we talked once, she then told me she was worried she has cancer, despite the doctors telling her she was fine. The next day I sent her the contacts for a oncologist. I admit I didn't call after that for a few weeks, my grand ma had fallen sick… and in a few weeks she passed away. My friend showed up to the funeral but didn't call after. About 3 months later, My boyfriend proposed so I called her to tell her, and she didn't answer. .We then had a small event (parents and us only!) to celebrate and make the engagement official (customary in my country). I remember trying to call and tell her but she also didn't answer (but according to her she didn't get a missed call from me and since I have a bad memory lets say she is right). Fast forward a few weeks later, we talk. She asks me whats up. I tell her I got engaged and immediately she tells me a friend told her but she didn't believe her because she didn't think i'd get engaged without telling her first. I told her I think I tried to call you, and she sends me screenshots of her call log to prove that I didn't. She starts telling me how horrible I am because I haven't called her after the cancer scare. When I told her she didn't call me either after my grandma (keep in mind that I've lived with my grandma all my life) passing away, she told me she didn't call because she was upset with me. Anyway, I try to call her a few times after. She doesn't answer. I sent her a message how are you, and she replied that she was fine. I asked her if she's not going to ask about me back, she said no because she is upset with me and needs time… Am I in the wrong here?

Im 35 and i still get bullied. Adults talk down to me so much or ridicule me and idk why. They shame me for not doing anything but its not my fault i have no drive or self worth cause people took it all away

Throughout HS I only had one really close best friend, but because college and all we are kinda growing apart. But, I got to be closer to my one other friend from HS who is becoming to be a best friend to me. In terms of friendship in some aspects she is.."friendlier" than my last one and I appreciate that. But my old friend, I've gotten to know her so well that I know how she reacts under different situations and got to really enjoy her personality and qualities for being overall funny and positive. She was a bit opposite from me and it was a good combination. But when I see my current friend put under similar situations where I wish she'd act humorous, outgoing, etc and I see her act different such as by being defensive, insecure, serious, or whatever, I can't help but compare her and wish she'd act more like my last best friend. Sometimes she's a bit more like me and idk why I don't like that. I know I'm being a bad friend, I shouldn't be comparing her and it only sets me up for disappointment. I try to remind myself that I'm probably not like her last friends either, but because I didn't have a lot of close friends I'm so used to what I've experienced and hard time accepting differences.

So I was bullied in middle school and in high school by a girl named Athena. Well we are now 22 and she recently got pregnant. Her boyfriend is one of my good friends at my job. I was thinking of getting him and her a gift. Would she hate me for that or is it inappropriate to get her something as well as the baby. Any help is appreciated.

I'm a 14 year girl and everytime I go to school someone ends up calling me ugly. People always take gross photos of me wherever I go. I dont have high confidence but I dont think I'm as ugly as people say I am. People always tell me that I'd never get married cause nobody would ever wanna wake up next to me. All I'm asking is if anyone knows what to do besides talk to the counselor or parents cause I've tried and nothing happens. Thanks 4 your time.

I haven't had a party in ages. So I would like to invite about3 friends and have it at home. Then maybe I could invite my aunt and uncle the next day. Any ideas on how to make this day enjoyable for the guests? Do you prefer homemade cake or store bought cake. Should I make a speech or is that unnecessary for a small gathering? What did you do for yours?

People have no problem saying that to a loner guy.

In my life I've had around 5 BEST friends and some good friends. The problem is, I'm either used by them and then dropped, used as a backup friend, accused of horrible things or forgotten about. When this happens, I start to lose that friend... and then my close friends always choose the girl that used me or made me feel worthless or accused me of things that she did. I've only got a few friends left.. what am I doing wrong?

I'm an 18 year old male highschool graduate working full time. I'm introverted with no desire for friends except one best friend (a girlfriend) But no friends = no exposure to girls so I'm stuck in a rut. And if I did want friends I'm not sure where I'd make them as most people my age are not like-minded.

alright i'm sorry if this will sound like a cry for help i really don't onow what to do my life is crashing down on me and whenever i think it can't get any worse it gets worse but there's this guy that we'll call A and i was very close with A and when we both met we were in a very depressed state and we kind of built each other up and he always knew what to say to me i cared about him so much and we were close for like 4 years until he kinda stopped talking to me and he blocked me on quite a few social media apps and he's going to college across the country (that last part isn't because of me that's ehere he's always wanted to go) and said that he needed to move on from his dark past so he doesn't wanna keep in contact anymore which as much as i respect his reasons i am so broken and with that amongst other things and none of my other friends care and i gave up on therapy bc i don't want to talk to a stranger i just want someone to ACTUALLY CARE about me but anyways i'm not blocked on everyrhing so should i try getting in contact with him? without him life really isn't worth living anymore i just really need him right now i don't know what to do and i'm sorry for the huge run on sentence

I ll try to make this as short as possible, but with as much content. So, my brother has been on and off jobs for the past few years. I have been trying to tell him he needs to pick it up... but he is not motivated and so entitled that he just runs away from his problems. He recently moved away to Vegas with his friend, but his friend told me he is on the verge of being let go. So, he doesn t concentrate on tasks. He s constantly on his cell phone. Gets mad when you ask him to do something. Strays away from social conversations. And is never on time for anything. He says that he is doing things when he really is not and he goes out of the house to go to the gym... when he really needs to be concentrating on things that really matter. My mom is no help at all as she just says just pray and is the type to just push away the problem. I don t know what to do anymore. He is about to let go from his new job*

So me and my friends like to mess with my little brother we have a few ways we torture him but we been wanting new things we can do to him. Any suggestions? (Me and my friends are 19 and my brother is 17)

People are really mean and when ever I try to talk to people they treat me like garbage, my life is such **** and I have no one to confide in and no friends. Idk what to do.

Anyways I am a male too in my 30's. But would it be rude or ok to fart? I'm worried it may echo. There isn't a bathroom nearby however.

So then she told me I couldn't go at all :( but then I apologized and she let me go, but not sleepover but I reallly want to sleepover. please help.
