I am an adult now but when I was a freshman at 14, I was 6' tall and had a deep voice. I looked like I was 18 at least. I met one older girl because she eavesdropped into my conversations and then laughed loudly at a joke she clearly heard me make then asked me to repeat it to her, then after I talked to her, her and her friend wait after class for me so she can pop out and say boo and smile at me and she got in my face to do so. Then she began laughing at dumb stuff I say to other people, butting into my conversations, responding to me or asking me to repeat stuff to her. She couldn't look me in the eyes and say hi first. At first, her friend girl 2 didn't talk to me and she just pushed me to the first one. While talking to me 1 would get red and make no eye contact, hide her face and didn't stand still. She blushed and smiled when I say hi first. Then her friend asked me to be around them and she was embarrassed and had an attitude but 1 wanted me as close as possible to her and talked to me as much as possible. She scared me after I talked to her and she got my attention. Then she had her friend come and get me for a selfie when she dressed up and wore something showing cleavage. 1 asked for a picture with me when I talked to her and for me to get close to her. She found any way she could to compliment me and approached me with her friend next to her. They both laughed at everything found any excuse to be around me and talk. 2 offered me a ride when it wasn't necessary

It's so hard for me to make female friends. I'm the coolest woman you would ever meet. I real and I never stab anybody in the back. I don't get why people switch up on me so quick. One minute we are great, the next they blow me off. There have been times girls wouldn't invite me places. They would say their not going somewhere, and end up posting photos with them there. Females choose friendships with other women over me. I don't get it.

i just need advice bc i'm literally paranoid and anxious about it and the worst things that could happen

I had a friend who let me be the godmother of a child who at first she didn't want. This offer was made after months of not talking to each other. When I finally met with her, she asked if I can help drive her around with errands. So, I tried to make up for lost time and avoiding a confrontation from before. I helped with her baby shower and bought stuff for the newborn. I had a chance to see the baby only once. Any other time, it was no she thinks people want to see it like a showcase. So one day she ranted at me and said I'm not helpful or supportive enough even though she lives with her boyfriend and his fam. The mom wanted to help, she said no. But me, who's busy with two jobs, school, and tired was not supportive enough? I tried to tell her I did the best I could but it wasn't enough for her. She said she was still upset about how I left things from last time. She cut me out of her life. Months past and she still has my number and sent me a text that saying hi. I responsed to her but just like a short message, not engaging in the conversation. Now, she sent me a Christmas text and asked how I'm doing. Me: I'm good and you? Her: My girl is growing. Me: Cool. How's the family? Her: You don't care about me, why'd you ask. You're the worst. I don't know why I made you the godmother. I tried to reach out to you and you act like I did something to you. What's wrong with her?

Just had late lunch at friend's house. During lunch, my friend's wife sat next to me at the table. I felt something touching my leg. Then a few minutes later I noticed my friend's wife put her hand on my knee. I didn't say or do anything because I didn't want to make a scene. She left her hand on my knee forever. Did she make a pass at me or was she just being friendly? We are are also celebrating Christmas this evening at his house and now I'm not sure what to do.

I'm 18 almost 19, my friend is also 18 and has a little sister (she's 15) who tags along to everything (she never asks us if it's okay, she just says she's coming and does just that). If I try to hang out with my friend, like go out for dinner, anything like that, she's always there and honestly I don't mind too much. Anyways, for New Years I really want to go out with my friend and just enjoy myself, get wasted, all that typical teenage bs and her little sister swears she's coming with us? I don't feel comfortable this time, like at all, knowing an underage girl might be around all of that makes me euughhh. Talked to my friend about it and she really doesn't mind that her younger sister wants to tag along, but this time it's different. Oh and her mom doesn't care either?

I love them and my cousins will be there and stuff but honestly it's the last thing I feel like doing. I did see them just a few months ago

I only feel this way because a lot of people I know don't/didn't like me or just aren't interested in a friendship with me for whatever reason. I know middle school/high school was a long time ago, but this is exactly why I wish I could go back in time & changed how I acted. Me acting weird and being an ugly female was what caused me to be an easy target for bullies & someone that nobody wanted to be friends with. I always see people with their friends from middle school/high school/college, & I get jealous. I'm still hurting because I do realize that I'm not liked too much by my peers & I still haven't found good friends at age 25, but yet I got ghosted by a lot of people I used to be friendly with in high school ever since I earned my bachelors and masters. Even as adults, people will still be childish. I even witnessed this with my old college I used to attend when the students would bully this autistic boy by screen-recording his social media and/or actively recorded him being weird & post it on Twitter to bully him.

I have a friend that I've known since I was about 8. I'm now in my late 20's. We went to different highschools/colleges but have always kept in touch. I recently moved by to my home city (Dallas) and was hoping we'd reconnect. We have hung out a few times and always have fun but I noticed a few things that to me are weird. I NEVER hear from her. We will hang out and things are great, she' ll say "you've got to come to Austin with me to visit my brother" or "come to game nights with my boyfriend and I." But after we hang out I never hear from her, no texts no calls no nothing. I know that she has done this do some of her other friends so I don't think it's just me, but I find it strange. She has mentioned that she's busy or that she's focusing on herself which I understand, but to never reach out or sometimes not even reply to a text is weird to me. Maybe it's just a part of growing up and being an adult. I decided to not reach out as often as I started to feel kind of embarrassed when she didn't reply or never reaches out to me.

He has 11th anniversary with the Wife on Saturday and having feast and wine with friends. Mutual friends are giving them wishes and everyone is happy for them but on Sunday when the wife is out while the Husband is home alone, he text a gal Friend and have sex texting and he starts to masturbate and came and kept asking the gal to send nude photo and video but the gal did not. Does this consider cheating? What do you say about this guy? Everyone seem to portray him being the nice guy but?!

I'm female and My friend is in an abusive relationship with a man, and has been together with him for five years. I feel like she gets anxious or agitated all the time when he texts her, and then she takes it out on me. It is starting to affect me, because I have given her so much support to leave this man, but no matter how much I support her, she stays with him. Thing is, it is starting to affect our friendship, and because of him she is becoming an unpleasant person. He is always asking her for money when she doesn't have any, so one time she told me she wanted to buy a headband and took me to this shop, and then we got to the till and she told me she couldn't afford it, and so I wound up buying her this headband and paying ten pounds. Then, when I asked her for the ten pounds back which I lent her, she kept complaining and said she had no money. Whenever I hang around with her, she snaps at me and gets agitated really easily. I feel like she is using me as a punch-bag. When we hang out together and I am talking to other people, I see she gets annoyed and rolls her eyes and glares at me. I am starting to feel really intimidated. Another time she arranged to see me and I knocked on her door and she shouted at me that I had to wait a minute for her to open the door. Why is she always angry with me? I feel like I want to distance myself from her now because she is getting unpleasant to be around.

Hi I'm 21, and I moved school at 17, but I lost contact with my friends from my old school, my old friend and I was in the sameclass since I was 7-17 I always see him on social media but I actually miss hanging around with him. Do you think it would be stupid to reconnect? And if so how?

Miraculously, I ve made a wonderful friend. She s wickedly funny, perpetually thoughtful and kind, incredibly smart and creative, and takes no bullshit. I love her very, very much, and we talk almost every day, but I know that I m not as important to her as she is to me. Is that pathetic or wrong? I don t have very many friends, and she s the person I m closest to outside of my family. I know that s not true for her, and it would be awful of me to try to work my way into the same position in her life, or to be jealous of those closer to her. After all, it s better for more people to know her and enjoy her company. I m just wondering if it s pathetic of me to be in this situation, to have a best friendship that s not mutual. If it changes anything, I m a girl.

I forgot there was a little 2 year old in the room when I lost my temper and screamed pretty loudly. I don't care for a relationship with this kid but is there something I can do in terms of lessening the effect the screaming had on him. I feel so very terrible.

So I went to a new school last year and met a girl she seemed nice but I was never interested in her. She did not have many friends so I thought that I would hang out with her and be her Friend. She had some depression issues as well. I became very good friends with this girl and we hung out a lot. I was never interested in fact I had a girlfriend. This girl had some attention issues to say the least. Then the next year I had to move away and go to another new school. I hate it here and am going back to the school with the girl next year. Then I get a text from my friend from the old school that says "you do know that Carrie is accusing you of sexual assault" I care about my reputation more than anything in that school. I know that she really might have said that because she often says stuff for attention. I know I am going back next year but I have to save my reputation from my backstabbing best Friend. Keep in mind I have never ever done so much as to pat her on the shoulder. And take it from me I really wouldn't want to do anything with her anyways

If you were walking by your friends house or randomly outside your friends house (your friend doesn't know your there) and you can hear stuff from inside and it sounds like your friend is being abused?

My cousin who is female brought her friend who is also female to the bar and she was mean to me the whole night but when I was taking off I went to say goodbye to my cousin and goodbye to her friend and her friend gave me a really tight hug. Why was she mean to me I wasn't being rude

I commented to a friend that my coworker, who is older, has a very tacky taste. "What do you mean she has tacky taste?" I reply with "She's just tacky, tasteless, very conventional. She would go to the most basic conventional place in her neighborhood" "Oh its because she's just older" says my friend "Thats nonsense, plenty of older people with taste! What I find tacky is that she only goes for what has been popularized. It's sad really, she will never really dabble into whats emerging or underground. Just trite popular conventional things" Now why is that, ladies and gentlemen of Y! answers? Why are some people just so tacky and tasteless? Does it have to do with getting older?

I have an old friend that found me on social media recently. I have been avoiding his presence because we ended on bad terms, but this time he seemed to be in a better place. We briefly dated. After a few weeks of talking again I ve met up with him and we just conversed. I listened to him, let him vent and tell me all about how bad his life was without me but yet as we continue to talk he makes it seem like I am an inconvenience to him. I dated him when I was 21/22 and I m now almost 24. He s still at the same minimum wage job and I m now at a pharmaceutical. I gave him some advice on how to care for the elderly at his job and he basically blew it off saying my advice wouldn t work. He vented to me about it and said he was having a bad day so I tried to help. He said I was negative later on and he s a positive person and just want to enjoy life right now or etc. I m not so sure what his reasoning was for getting back in touch with me when I m doing so much to improve my now life and he s just putting me down like before. I ended up blocking him, but for whatever reason I feel like I did something wrong. Did I? I don t feel like I m better then anyone, but I also think he makes poor choices. Did I say that no because we are both grown and I will not tell a grown man what he should or shouldn t be doing. I guess I just didn t expect things to go that way. I was good enough when I made the same pay as him and now I guess he could care less about my life.

I used to have a really solid friend group who did everything together. For years, I have never worried about being excluded. Our group of 6 drifted apart this year though. One friend is my best friend and I am still very close to her, but she is always working and never has time to hang out. Another friend, Riley, is one I used to consider a best friend, but she is so focused on being popular now and has abandoned me for people she thinks are cooler. Her main best friend is Jenna, who is still my good friend but is always loyal to Riley first and foremost. Abigail is someone I just don't see that often anymore, and then Emily is a girl I used to be best friends with, but this year she has just been so negative and snarky all the time. Basically, Riley, Abigail, and Jenna have drifted away and stopped inviting me and Emily to everything. To a certain extent, I get it because I genuinely do not see them as much as I used to. On the other hand, we have always all been loyal to each other so to be excluded now feels horrible, and it just keeps happening. Do you think that I should put more effort into trying to hang out with these girls and rekindle things? Or should I move on? Its just that I feel like I have been so loyal to them but they stopped caring about our friendships anyways so that makes me angry and not want to be friends with them anymore, but also, I don't know who I would have left if I did that. I could try to hang out with them more instead. Please advise. *Names are changed by the way we are seniors in high school by the way.

I got invited to go to the movies with some friends and one of their oarents is dropping us off and then picking us up somewhere. My mom doesnt want to let me go because she doesn't trust the kids. Help.

I like to have fun with some friends. But I am writer, try to do something. When I alone, I feel sad but anytime I can just sit at the table and start to write. My thoughts are concentrated adn there's nothing to prevent me... After friends (friend)I feel fun but disconnection... How can I work and have fun with friends?

all my friends do but i'm still scared to do it around them even though I do by myself, i'm a 16 yr old girl, the reason I'm scared i bc i dont want to sound stupid/make a fool of myself or get extreme reactions from them since they've never heard me do it, i know this is a stupid problem but it for some reason makes me super anxious and is making me drift away from them i'm truly looking for help on how to be more open /myself around my friends, i'm not against swearing, just afraid to do it w/ friends

im a dumb teenager, and as such, i make dumb jokes. i find foot fetish jokes really funny, because it s gross and makes people uncomfortable. i must have cracked it too many times or something, but now people are starting to think i actually have a thing for feet and im using jokes to cover it up/give hints. i m not. i don t have a thing for feet at all, but every time i deny it people take it as further evidence that i m covering something up. how do i tell my friends it s not true without making it seem like i m "covering up" something??? I DONT WANNA BE THE FOOT KID
