Her and I have been friends for two or three years. We worked together for almost two years and then she left but we still texted on and off. She always said we're friends. I never asked to hang out cause she had a boyfriend and thought it's awkward. But they broke up a few months ago. She asked me if I ever wanted to chill to message her. I asked her out to movies and she said she'd love to go. We had an amazing time! She had fun for sure I mean she was all bubbly and she asked if we'd habg out again soon. Messaged me next morning. IMPORTANT: during these few cancellationss she would still snap chat and text me FIRST. Not responding to my text I mean as messaged me first so she likes talking to me still...Thing is we made plans again to hang but she has diabetes and gets sick a lot. She also suffers clinical depression and cancelled last week cause sick. We made plans last Friday but afternoon of cancelled cause she had to pull a double at work. Then for Sunday she got sick again, and I think it was true cause all week prior when we spoke she said a stomach bug went around her work. She's a teacher.

Been friends for 10 yrs but have been growing apart from her, especially when I found out (a yr ago) how she didn't keep my business private. She told a new co-worker something personal. The new co-worker told me & instigated to get gossip. Never again. Also, she's been a "single white female"/copycat for a while. I usually ignore it bc it's petty but now, it's like she believes we're the same person. She also gets petty. For ex: we both bought our friend jewelry from the same line (she got earrings, I got the bracelet). Instead, she threw a passive fit & kept saying, "that's why I texted her first to see if she would get what I get." PETTY. I've been working AND in grad school the past 15 months. The last quarter is a thesis/research project. She's been asking her to hang out & I told her I would let her know when I'm busy. I feel frustrated bc its one of those hang outs when it's best suited for her. Like I have to drop what I'm doing in my life to see her. Again, a month later she asked, "when are you free?" "I told you - I will contact you when I'm good. I'm so busy with school." She says, "I know, we're all busy. I have so many things going on." I know work is busy for people but she never said that when I WASN'T in school. So now that I'm busy, she's busy or BUSIER. I found time & texted her last week, "how's Thursday?" She agreed. Now, she texts me, "omg...I have a certification class on Thursday, I forgot. I can't meet on Friday bc my boss wants me to work. So busy! I can do these days if you can." I appreciate the compromise but why couldn't she tell me this before hand? And now she's suddenly busy, which makes me think I'm friend out of convenience (subconsciously). You'd be surprised how ppl these days wanna hang out for fun but not for your company

I don't get that I've been threw it's all but I can't have the right to take my own life I've been searching of ways to make it less painful or even no pain at all I just want to go one with no more pain cause I'm just tired I know some will judge but I'm 18 I've been molested by my own dad for 2 years I've been raped by a friend I thought was my friend my mother hates me I can't find a job I've tried everything so why stay? I feel that I'm a waist of space at this point I literally have no friends and I've tried to stay strong but I'm at my end I just want to fall asleep and never wake up suicide is something I've tried to help others with but I look back and think how hypocritical that is of me and please don't say therapy can help cause it hasn't and it won't I think today I want to say my final goodbye but I don't know exactly wats holding me back just currently staring at this alcohol and pills

I have this gummy bear that has different colors I kept and he ate it bc he thought it was a normal bear (which it is) it's been 15 minutes is there a way to get it back lmao

I grew up with small class of friends because of my learning disability so i thought i had enough friends at the time till i had move but this one girl have been mean for no reason all i did just add one friend on myspace days since then she been mean to me and we told each other sorry and now she still be mean to me for no reason so now all I do is photography group that i did for the race team and go places with my parents to vegas and San deigo or Sand dunes in Califorina with group of friends and all i see my old small group of friends they either work for nurse and do a school play and i dont know last one does but i think she was a teacher aid for volunteering and we all have same disability and i see on weekends sometimes they go nyc and they go to bars with there friends and I was wondering do you think it is a jealousy thing? i been called annoying and other words to this one friend i think she mad that she doesnt have enough friend at that time and she blame me and i hard one thing about that her exboyfriend i grew up with have slap her in face but i dont know how bad it because she still kept taken her angry at me, i tried message her mom but think the daughter help her control it, but yeah what can i send her a long message without being fake and clingy?? Do you think it is a jealousy thing? 0 following

I feel like I have trouble finding/making friends. I am kind of shy and people Often tell me that when they first see me, I look like I think I'm "better" than everybody else.. Which is actually the farthest thing from the truth. I want a real friend, so once I start noticing things within another person that makes me question their intentions/loyalty, I tend to back off. Maybe that's why I can't find any friends (I'm scared I'll get hurt)? Idk. But back to the initial Question, if someone (in their late teens/early 20's) has trouble making friends, should They start trying to evaluate themselves to see if they are the reason why they don't have friends, Or, is it just harder to make real friends as a whole nowadays?

There's this girl in my class who I used to be friends with last year. We weren't super close, but we hung out a couple of times and we'd walk to school together a lot. This school year, however, she started saying very passive aggressive things. She had done this before last year, but she'd usually be nice to me again within 45 minutes, now she's just always passive aggressive. If I'm joking with my friend, she'll overhear and add in a joke and smile, yet in the same day she will yell at me and call me an asshole. She told me once that her sister has anger issues, so maybe she does as well? A lot of people notice she's passive aggressive and feels the need to be right, but she's overwhelmingly aggressive towards me specifically, and I don't know why. My grades are high and hers are average, when I tell her that a school with a 3.6 gpa is my safety school (I have a 4.0 gpa) she's doubtful and says that's not a safe bet. She also says my 4.0 gpa could change any minute,and that I shouldn't count on it. She isn't pretty (I hate to be superficial), and she never gets any guys, whereas she's aware of many situations in which guys have shown interest in me. When she gives me attitude, I stick up for myself and I tell her to stop being so angry and stressed over nothing, but she still acts like a brat. She's a senior so maybe she's just stressed, but I sense something more here.

So she was a friend from outside of school and we weren't to close but she was really close with my best friend, who I am obviously very close with. And I heard that this friend was gonna start coming to my school because she didn't like how all three kids at her old school had sexual and did drugs. So she stared school this past Friday and all day Friday she was talking to me and my friends and we were hitting it off great. But today, Monday, she has only talked to me once and instead she is hanging around the loser druggies. But the reason she left her old school was because she didn't like doing drugs and stuff. And she is such a nice and innocent person and I don't want to be one to tell her who she can and can't be friends with but I don't want her being friends with those people. What should I do?

My boyfriend and his one friend talk on Facebook messenger all day every day. They both had a group chat with their other male friend, but still they talk sepererly in their own chat. When my boyfriend is at work, the second he goes on break he'll start messaging his friend. And he gets 3 breaks a day. Before he gets a shower, he'll be in the bathroom for at least 20/30 minutes talking to his friend before he actually showers, then start talking to him again the second he gets out. Even when we're all together, they'll be talking to each other privately on messenger. Is this normal? Why send messages to each other when we're all in the same room?

Im kind of pretty id say? this guys a senior and he's liked me since my freshmen year and he really is different..met my family, hang out everyday almost, all that. I have aquAintances, and this girl who im kind of close to who ive known but she sometimes would leave me for her other friends "sorry i didnt sit with you today i had to go with my other friend" and im scared she will do that when im alone the next 2 yeArs :/ i havent mAde any close friends except getting closer to some bit of people. but i want more close friends because all ill really have is her but when some of them are absent :/ im terrified. Im stressing about it and my grades are bad too.. again, in not ugly, yet not so pretty pretty, but i still feel kinda ugly and all ive done is lose friends :/ ive lost about 3/4 already and it ****** hurts so bad knowing i dont have anyone else really except aquaintances or just her and my sort of guy friend whom ive gotten close to too.. what can i do :/

Is it weird that I like to hear my friend hiccup? I like the sound of it

i should've said this in the details at first but what are like signs my friend hates me

So now I don't know what to do because being around her makes me uncomfortable and I just honestly don't know what to think about it anymore...help?

Have no close friends and they're going through spiritual awakening and working to expand their consciousness what impression does that leave you with of them? (I just said it because I felt like her boyfriend wanted to hate on me hard for not being a good/fun enough friend for her. So, I was explaining why I'm not super outgoing but that I do want to be friends and I'm trying my best without true friendship experience)

I have 2 weeks left with my roommate and she just told me that she refused to put BGE in her name like she promised so I'm upset now because I'll have an extra bill of $100. I let her boyfriend stay here and use wifi and electric all semester and now shes being rude (even though i expressed concern with her bf living here she said it wasn't her problem). So I changed the wifi password. How do I make it so she wont realize and wont know what happened

I keep telling this guy I need to be on birth control. He keeps saying I don't need it.

I have been going through a really rough time for awhile now and I'm a 26 year old female and the friend that I'm closest to knows about it and she told me that she wishes I could figure all of this out and get better but it's like I just wish she could actually be here in person with me through this but is it her place to do that or is it not her place? She does not live far from me and she's very busy with her job and her family. I just feel like she's not really here for me as I would like her to be and talking to her about that won't help because I don't think she really wants to deal with it because I have tried to talk to her about things before that she says or does that bothers me but it's like she doesn't want to deal with it and I still live with my parents but it's like I don't really want them because they don't know what to do for me so that's why I was turning to my friend I have been talking about but I don't think she knows what to do either and she is a lot older than me by the way and she known my family for years so she is like part of my family

So I ended my friendship with my best friend about 10 months ago and I am really starting to miss her. I ended the friendship because I wasn't happy with it anymore and I convinced myself that she doesn't like me as much as before. But when I was ending the friendship she begged me to stay and said that I was always her best friend. But I felt like it was best to end it at that time. We made a lot of fun memories together and after some distance from her, I realized how much she meant to me. She was the only one who understands me and shares the same energy with me. Now that I look back at it I was just going through a hard time and just pushed her away. I want to message her and be friends again, but I don't want to look like an asshole because I left her last messages on read. She looks like she's doing fine without me and I feel like I would hurt her if I text her or that it would be awkward if we actually do become friends again. Should I just move on or should I try to message her?

I have a friend in critical condition after attempting suicide. I need to break the news to some of my other friends, who had given him a tough time about some of his life choices. I know that they'll feel guilty and at fault, so what is the best way to handle this situation? Where should I tell them? In a public dining hall, one of their dorms,etc? How to I best let them know that it wasn't their fault and that other factors were in play?

My whole highschool career was trash especially sophomore and junior year. Sophomore year as when I had the most anxiety and depression thanks to 2 girls who would bully me in class and my only close friend would ditch me for new ones. I felt so lonely and left out especially since my friends new group said I made them feel awkward and creeped out cuz I wouldn't talk. That's cuz I'm really bad at conversation, so I can see why she would be embarrassed and hardly hang out with me. I would be a complete loner at lunch and it was so sad. Luckily it got a bit better junior year but not as much cuz I would still feel the same. My friend would always make me feel bad cuz of my mental illness and would tell me I wouldn't try hard enough and that I'll never change. I knew she was just trying to help me but I regret not defending myself . Even if I try, things still end up the same . Even now in senior year I'm having the worst depression due to things that were my fault and that I could have done better . It's so hard not mourning the past especially when I could have done something to prevent the painful years I went through. I just hope life gets better although I doubt it cuz my social anxiety will never let me experience real happiness.

I keep telling this guy I need to be on birth control. He keeps saying I don't need it.

My friend and I are very close. I'm a girl and so is she but we're both straight. I know if I ask ger she would say yes, but what would it do to our friendship? Also, she's my only option to practice on and I want to practice before my first kiss with someone I really like

I swear my guy friend has no clue how I feel about him and I'm really not sure how he doesn't know. He's VERY smart and observant (he has said himself that he's observant). I am constantly asking him for rides home from work (when really, I could ask a coworker); I "like" or react to almost every post he has on Facebook and he's even acknowledged the fact that I pay attention to all of his posts; I willingly got off work 40 minutes early (my job let me, it wasn't like I just up and left) just so he could be the one to give me a ride home; I use any excuse to talk to him at least once a week; I blow up his messages sometimes and I apologized for being so annoying and he told me I'm not annoying; etc. He's married and I respect that and I'm actually very cool with his wife. I just wondered if either he is seriously that clueless or he does know and he just likes the attention or is entertaining the fact. I got him a birthday card/gift card (for my job, as a matter of fact) earlier this year, but I also got his wife a birthday card/gift card (except for a different place). In the past, there was a moment we were around people and I hadn't acknowledged him when I could/should have and he playfully ran into me to get me to notice him. I think he was bothered that I hadn't acknowledged his presence yet. Also, when we are together in the car, he'll literally talk my ear off and I let him and I just listen lol. When we pull into my driveway, I try to prolong the conversation because I don't want to leave his side, but he doesn't seem bothered by it.

I have two friends. One guy and a girl. I've been quite close to the girl for 2 years now. Recently she's began getting closer to my friend. She sometimes only hangs around him, twerks on him in the club and kind of flirts with him. Whenever she decides to sleep over at our house she stays in his room. My friend knows I like her but she does not I tell him to stop sleeping in the same room with her, but he refuses. He feels if I like her I should have made a move. But the girl has a boyfriend. I have spoken to the girl how I don't feel comfortable about them sleeping together, and she gives me mixed replies like a neutral answer and also that since I am not day=ting her i should not care and that if i wanted her is should have went for her....BUT SHE HAS A BOYFRIEND TAT SHE IS IN AN ON AND OFF AGAIN relationship with. I feel like they are messing around with each other in there, which kind of drives me nuts. I feel my friend is not loyal for continuing to sleep with her whenever she comes and the girl is not a good friend for continuing to sleep in his room when she knows I feel uncomfortable with it. What do you guys think? By the way when I say sleep I do no mean sex... I mean just laying with each other in the bed. But I feel like they do get sexual when they are alone in the room. They both say they are not having sex...I asked them...but the fact that they lock the door is suspicious. I feel they could be messing around without having legit sex though... They don't hang out without me...but their seems to be a lot of separate flirting etc. The girl is so into him sometimes. I have asked her if she likes him and she even said no...and that she actually likes his friend

Me and a guy friend were having a conversation the other night. Tonight, he shared a post that is very much related to the conversation we had Friday night. Do you think it's just a coincidence or did he post it because it reminded him of the convo. we had?

I'm nearly 21, and feel so low. I lost all of my friends at university due to a toxic relationship and have decided to move back home and take a year out from my studies because I have become so anxious. I feel like a blank piece of paper, I just have nothing interesting to talk about with anyone. I have no friends, and have no clue on how to socialise anymore. The one friend that I do have, I haven't seen in months because the last time we hung out it was so awkward as I just said a couple of words the whole time. Recently, I have started taking anti depressants and having therapy, I want to be happy and have friends, be social, but I just find it so difficult to make conversation with anyone as I feel I have nothing to talk about. I spend all of my time that I'm not at work (which isn't a lot) trying to find things to talk about, listening to podcasts, watching YouTube videos, but none of it is really relevant, plus my memory is pretty bad so it kinda just goes over my head...I didn't keep in touch with people from school, and fell out with my friend of 10 years also so I have no one. I even find it hard to start a conversation with my mum now. My parents are in their 60s which is quite old, considering I am only 20. I really would like to start some new hobbies, but I just feel so anxious and feel like I wouldn't know how to socialise with new people as I'm just have no personality. I'm so stuck in a rut and really don't know how to get out.

My wife and my friend were in a play this weekend today was they're last showing my friend is kind of upset about it. It was his first play he's sad that it had to end. He hopes to do more in the future he had lots of fun doing it. How can I comfort him ?

They don't know the person you like in person but they started to make fun of their hair color, made fun of their clothes, threatened to beat them up, threatened to slap them with chop sticks or something else, (the person they like didn't do anything wrong), your friends never gave this person a chance, your friends called this person an A$$hole and you deserved better. They were also rude toward you by lying to you about him, trying to make you feel insecure with the person you like, telling you stuff that knows would hurt your feelings, not being supportive, and not respecting your boundaries or feelings when you told them what they were doing made you feel uncomfortable and awkward and asked them next time just say so so and move on a different topic but they can't respect it. So you feel they are going to walk over you
