Ok so lately I have been going through some sh!t. I have told this to my friend that I have known for over 2 years, and he understood and told me not to worry about it and to take as much time as I needed. He's the only one who didn't ditch me. All my other friends that were girls (I'm a girl too) ditched me because of it and said that I betrayed them because they think I just didn't want to be their friend anymore. A couple days ago me and my guy friend were talking and I told him that I appreciate his sticking with me even with the rough time I'm going through. He said "anything anytime" and he also told me that I'm a good friend and that he was happy to have met me. Are these signs that he cares about me? Also, we were never *too* close, but ever since that conversation I feel closer to him.

Im in high school and Atm im going through a lot. Anyway theres a group of people and for the first half of the year I've talked to them but I was never close to them . When we do partner work they were completely fine with leaving me out and ignoring me to talk to each other. Only thing is when i was alone today, some of them acted like they cared and wouldn't leave me alone. So basically is it wrong to tell your friends you want to be alone? I'm just going through a very hard time with family and my boyfriend of three years and ughhh and when I mean I want to be alone I mean for longer than a month. I just feel like I need to find myself and etc thanks everyone!

I am a 25 year old single guy that works in an office. One of my coworkers is a single mom who is a good friend of mine. She has a 15 year old daughter who I know. One afternoon she asked me to do her a big favor. She unexpectedly had to work late. She had reservations at a local restaurant for her daughter's birthday party and the daughter's friends would be there. She ask me to pick up her daughter at her home and take her to the restaurant and stay with her until she got there from work. I did what she asked. The next day I got an email from the daughter that said thanks for making her birthday party the BEST DAY OF HER LIFE. She said "My friends at the party are jealous to the max that I had a hot sexy date bring me to the party. My first thought was to email her back saying I was NOT her date and hot and sexy are not words I wanted to hear from a 15 year old girl. (Do 15 year old girls really know what hot and sexy means?) However after giving it more thought I am not sure I should do that. I don't want to embarrass her or cause her any problems but I don't want to have ANYTHING to do romantically with a 15 year old girl. Perhaps that is the way 15 years old girls talk now. Is it? If it gives her some joy from thinking I was her date, perhaps I should just let her think that and hope I NEVER see her again.

I stormed into my friends room today more pissed off than all hell itself. My friend cracked a joke and I just took a huge swing at her stupid ***. Now I don't want her to be mad so I'm gonna convince her that she was actually the one who swung at me. I want to tell the story to her in the most confusing *** way possible, so that she second guesses her own two eyes and thinks that she was the prick who swung at me. Any tips on how to confuse the hell out of someone?

Background: I've known him almost 16 years. We weren't friends until late 2016, though. I knew him through my brother and from going to the same middle school. I'm 28, he's almost 30. He was the first guy I ever had a huge crush on and I was obsessed back in middle school. My feelings resurfaced in January 2017. He said he didn't see me that way, but we agreed to be FWB. I think part of me agreed to it, hoping he'd eventually develop feelings for me (he was still heartbroken over another girl and I guess I thought he'd move on to me). We had sex 5 times between March 2017-April 2018. We've been on a rollercoaster for about 2 years now. Our friendship or whatever this is, is very toxic. He's very manipulative. After he found out my mom passed away, he reconnected with me to comfort me since he went through the same thing two years ago. It wasn't long before he was talking about having sex with me again. I've had a boyfriend for 4 months. He knows this and says he understands, but continues to try to manipulate me into cheating on my boyfriend with him. I refuse. He blocked me a couple weeks ago so I figured that was it, we were done talking. A couple nights ago, he friend requested me in the middle of the night. We've been talking all evening and he said he feels bad he didn't give me a chance before, that he was hurting over this girl who broke his heart and now he realizes too late that he likes me and misses me. He also says I'm pretty much his only friend. I want so badly to remove him from my life because it's not fair to my boyfriend that this guy is still in my life, but I don't know how to drop him completely. He's so dang manipulative that I actually feel bad for him, even though I know he's full of sh*t. I don't know why we keep coming back into each other's lives. He really hurt me a lot many times (emotionally, not physically) and he's very toxic and I've TOLD him this many times, but then he makes me feel bad for saying that about him. It was a bad idea to become FWB back then when I knew I had feelings for him. This is why people say don't have sex with somebody who only wants sex if you want more eventually. We've agreed many times that sex complicated everything. We were good friends who talked everyday before we started having sex. Now I don't know how to quit him!! My bad, his mom passed away 10 years ago, not 2 years ago. He had blocked me back in August when I refused to have sex with him again since he wouldn't be my boyfriend.

I have PTSD and I'm very avoidant. For the past 4 years I've been keeping everyone at distance, relatives, friends, guys.. I realize how dismissive I am and its hurt a lot of people that once were close to me. I have this one friend that I've known since I started high school last year. We've seen each other everyday for quite a while now but I still treat her like we've just meet.. No hugging, only texts no calls, we don't hang out after school and I don't let her known about personal things such as my childhood. As soon as shes done something like invited me over to her home I've backed off. I'm in therapy and I'm getting better but I still feel it would be very sudden if I started being more open with her after all this time of being dismissive. I'd really appreciate advice on how to renew our friendship/become a better friend

My friend hasn't been feeling well lately he's been throwing up at almost everything. My girlfriend was eating ice cream it made him sick just watching it. He can't even watch shows that have discusting stuff in it without making him sick. His husband is worried about him he's never acted this way before. He doesn't have a fever or nothing. Is he pregnant ? What's wrong with him ?

We were on a college tour and when we passed by the cafeteria, I looked away from the tour guide and my eyes fell upon the guest speaker who gave us a presentation before the tour. He was sitting down with others but he was staring back at me. We stared for like 15 seconds, then I looked away, and when I looked at him again he was still staring but looked red in the face?

I've known this guy since I was in 6th grade and he was in 8th grade. I'm 28 now, he'll be 30 in July. He was my brother's friend, that's how we met. We became friends in October 2016. He was the first guy I ever had a huge crush on back in middle school. I was super obsessed with him, so obsessed that I began crushing on his brother after he, himself, went to high school...all because the brother looked like him (don't worry, the brother never saw me that way). My feelings resurfaced in January 2017 and I told him, but he said he saw me as a friend and he was heartbroken over another girl. We agreed to be FWB, although I didn't usually sleep with somebody I wasn't in a relationship with. Fast forward to now, we had sex 5 times between March 2017-April 2018. One of the last times, the condom broke. He got me Plan B and forced me to get tested with him. He began treating me as if I was a slut who slept around, despite the fact that my test and his test both came back clean. Apparently, his last FWB (who he had fallen for) slept around and he was paranoid that I did, too. There's been a lot of back and forth between us...him trying to manipulate me into sleeping with him again, me pushing him away. I have a boyfriend of 4 months now. My former FWB knows this and tried to manipulate me into cheating with him. I refused and after a week or two of trying, he gave up and blocked me. That only lasted less than 2 weeks because next thing I know, he's friend requesting me. Why does he refuse to stay away? The last time we reconnected was because he had heard my mom passed away and his mom had passed away 10 years ago, so he wanted to be there for me since he knows what I'm going through, but it wasn't long before he was bringing up sex and wanting me to cheat. Today, we're talking about how he went to the hospital today for a panic attack and he said I'm the only one who knows about it. However, this same guy never wanted to date me and claimed he didn't like me. He claimed he didn't like me as more than a friend, but would admit to being jealous when I'd have a date with another guy. Now, he's mentioned being jealous over my boyfriend. He would tell me he felt bad for treating me like crap when I was "so nice" to him. (manipulative....soooo manipulative). I have this need to "save" people and help people, but I think he's beyond help because now it's interfering with my relationship. He always comes to me when he wants girl advice or when he wants to vent about some girl rejecting him, etc. He once told me that me giving him advice turns him on...what the? lol He's not Autistic. He said he thinks he may have issues due to his mother passing away 10 years ago, but I don't know. He claims this girl he's liked for 2 years rejected him and she manipulated him, which is ironic because he's extremely manipulative. When I first didn't want to get STD tested (I hate needles), he kissed me on the cheek and called me "baby". -_-

my anxiety has been bad this past year and in the last few months it has been extremely bad. most of the time I would try to keep my anxiety to myself, but then sometimes I would message a friend (who I haven't seen in person in a few years, but they are the person I consider to be the closest to me). I messaged them multiple times regarding it and the last few conversations I would whip it back to my anxiety. I would ask for reassurance and just annoy them. They would always say that I wasn't bothering them, but lately I know that we aren't talking as much and I know I need to accept that it probably isn't going well mainly because of me, but I just don't know how to accept it.

Help, there s something wrong with me. I don t understand why I always choose the worst decisions. I m still in highschool, and I m struggling. I make bad grades, skip class, buy drugs with my friends, and worse. I used to be good, but ever since I started hanging out with another friend group, thing s started getting worse. I love them though, and I never wanna stop being friends with them, although they re considered "the bad kids". I don t understand???

Me and my friend was watching South Park he was watching the episode where Kenny got sent to a foster home he got upset when Kenny's parents were fighting and holding their kid who cried. He got upset over it me and my friend were laughing he got mad at us told us to shut up about it. He's never done that it's his favorite show he usually laughs at it even at this episode. He's been very emotional lately. Is he having a period or do men get that time of the month too ? How can I help him feel better ?

My roommate is one of my friends whom I met freshman year of college, and we live in a 4 person on campus apartment. During the fall semester, we all sat down with our RA to agree on a roommate agreement regarding the kitchen, bathroom, living room, etc. My roommate was the one who said to not leave dirty dishes in the sink for more than 24 hours. However, she's the one leaving the dirty dishes in the sink for DAYS. The thing is, I moved in a week before everyone else, so the dishes/utensils are mine - I bought them with my own money. It kind of bothers me when people just leave TONS of my utensils in the sink and my bowls in the sink for days! One time, I got up for work, and all of the bowls, spoons were dirty! So, I talked to everyone, including my roommate about taking care of my things and not leaving them in the sink for days. It has happened again, and it's mainly MY roommate who does it. Should do I just take away from utensils and bowls, if they (mainly my roommate) can't bother to wash them?

What are some examples of trying too hard to be a friend? Because I have really struggled for a long time with being very selfish but I am changing that today from now on to going out of my way and being a friend to my friends. My question is is that trying too hard to be a friend by going out of my way for them a lot? I just want to do this in the right way since I have struggled for a long time with being selfish

My roomieand I have knwn each other for 3 months. Weird things started happnd in my room.Stuff got lost.my clothes were burnt with an iron.the teddy I got from my guy was torn 2 days after receiving it.I caught her once adding a whole bottle of salt into my food.She bitched a lot behind my back.But she calld me her best friend.She usd to abandon.Like we'd decide to go out with our group mates and when I'm ready she'd leave b4.This happened like 5-6 times.When we had exams and I score more than her she stop lookin at me.I startd fixin locks arnd my room cupboards. recently an apple juice bottle that was in my fridge had a toilet paper(it had blue stuff) . I live in an apartment Of 5.2 separat rooms.

It is very annoying every time i go to the bar they think my id is fake. All my coworker think im like 15 or 16. Its so annoying how can i make myself look older?

My best friend and her ex broke up. I'm friends with both of them so, the ex messaged me telling me what happened. Then, he said that he think I'm really pretty and cool. At this point I'm super confused. I say  you're not bad yourself. I didn't mean that I thought he was cute. I am super worried about letting people down and about what they think about me. It turns out that my best friend was the one who was messaging me through his account. I tried to explain that I really don't like him at all but she won't respond to me.

My friends and I have to select an on campus housing NOW in order to have a spot for the fall. So, in our friend group, we have a solid 4 people, however, my friend (included in the 4) wants to add other people to our group, however, she won't ask them, she'll just say, "I want to add so and so.." that's one problem. The other problem is we have a mutual guy friend who needs housing (because one, he's out of state, and two, he doesn't have a group) so, all 3 of us are fine with adding him to our housing group (we'd all get singles inside an apartment) except my friend's parents. Her parents won't allow her to live with a guy and vice versa. So, we don't know what to do. It's 4 (including the guy) against 1, but I'd feel really bad if things come to that.

I usually don't bother to go out of my way to talk to a friend. Sometimes I feel like hiding from them. I will not talk to someone for months or even years and I will still consider that person my friend. I just don't necessarily feel that friends need to be talked to everyday. However I take this to an extreme sometimes... I will still be there for a friend if they need me or something. I think I'm a honest person who as the ability to care a lot but I just don't sometimes...

My friend, who is no longer my friend, created drama and fight with me when the guy I'm interested accepted her Facebook request.

I am a fun loving college student who is mostly anti establishment. I have no interest in campus politics, parties or fraternities. As a joke, some of my buddies put me on the ballot for class president. I did not mind as nobody knows who I am and there was not a chance in hell that I would win. Just before the election, my buddies sent an email to all male students that said "Vote for Bob. He is part owner of a legal brothel (not true) and has lots of free coupons to give away". I did not know they had done this. Can you imagine my surprise when I won by a landslide. Now I am in big trouble with the guys on campus. They all want the coupons. If I print up some fake coupons, do you think any of the guys will try to use them? Any ideas how I get out of this mess.

Jim and his wife divorced 3 years ago. Their kid is living with her and he visits him every weekend. Jim has been chasing me a lot for 2 years though I kept denied him since he has a child. I said he could find another woman who accepts the fact that he has a kid ....but he never gave up on me. What would you think about him?

Throughout my life, I've always had trouble making friends. In school, I had some success but these friendships never laster. People become bored of me or grow to dislike me or some other thing and I always end up being ditched. After college, I basically had nobody left. I'm friendly with everyone at the office I intern in; but I do't have a social life. I never go out drinking or clubbing because I have nobody. The people I call my "friends" don't care about me and only text me when I text them. What should I do?

It was a Class A misdemeanor assault so they are being fined 4000 and jailed for a year after 5 weeks of DAEP. Fighting people are coming for me because I'm so protective of my friends and can fight. I don't want to get suspended or intrude but will hit back if I was hit first. Help!

Me and my friend have been really good friends for a year up until a few days ago. However, we just finished our exams and coming to school the next day, he seemed to have changed overnight. Day 1 coming back to school he was cold, not just to me but everyone too and when day 2 came, he looked like as if he was avoiding me. Following by day 3, he seemed to be better however he would only make general talks and that too it seemed forced. This then went on for the rest of the week till now, and i have tried to approach and ask him whats wrong and make him feel better but he is still off. (We have gotten our results back btw and it was okay) I have thought of possibilities of what i have done wrong to him or anything but i cant seem to recall doing anything wrong. I value our friendship alot and it would suck for it to disolve so easily, i am desperate in saving our friendship and this bothers me alot, what should i do about it? I really want our friendship back! Help pleasee?

A friend of mine has been married to this guy for a few years now and he helps her raise her kid. She goes to school, has a job, and is usually at home because of her lil one. He has a job and expects her to do all the cleaning and complains a lot to their friends when she doesn't (not that he seems to ever lift a finger to help her). She's been getting hit pretty hard with the depression due to the pressures he continuously places on her and has been talking about leaving her so he can do whatever he want and live an easier life. The other thing is he recently got back in contact with another girl he MIGHT have had a kid with. She doesn't expect him to take responsibility or pay for anything, she just wants her kid to see her (maybe) dad. He asked my friend to get along with this girl, complained when she didn't AND THEN when she DID. Like suddenly it's weird or something. How can I help? Are there things anyone can suggest? She has nowhere to go and is worried about feeding her kid. She just feels like she is failing at everything and wants to pack up and leave but doesn't know if she would be able to go back to her parents place.

I never really talk to guys because I just hangout with my friend group which is all girls. I want to have guy friends so that I can get guys opinions on things and also so that I have someone to do things that my friends (who are girly) don't want to do, like play video games or paintball. I just want to know how to start friendships with new people that are outside my friend group. Any tips?

Are true friends always going to be here for you when you are going through a rough time for a long time? Even though they may not know what to do for you?

edit* i am not mad at the people who talk about me. i couldn't give any less of a ****. i am mad at my friends for not saying anything to the people talking smack about me.

How do I get this guy to forget about having sex with me? I met a guy where he works we had been talking when I would see him at the store working. After a couple of years he asked me for my number. A couples of months later he called asking me to meet him at the Opera. But I didn't go instead I asked him if he wanted to be friends with benefits. He said yes and that he had always been into me. We've been talking on Facebook for awhile now and he's still trying to have sex with me. But now I've changed my mind and I just want to be friends with him. How can I reverse this? I was going to tell him that I just want to be friends and hangout.

I wanted to find out how I can get my roommate upstairs to allow me to watch her children more often when she needs someone have had some issues with them in the summer and don't want that to stop her from allowing me to watch them when she needs someone my question is how can I get her to trust me more is there something I can do to show her or say to her? that would make it a lot easier on me to make her allow me to babysit them
