I have this childhood friend that smokes meth every here and now and then lies about it. He tells my brother more truth than me. Anyways, I don't hate him, but everytime he comes around he tends to exaggerate the truth and make up some bullshit about how much money he is making and then he starts acting all goofy which is pretty much how he has mostly been all his life, but the real problem is when he starts lying and distorting the truth to make himself look and feel better about himself. He doesn't understand how that makes him look when I find out these exaggerated truths. I am not trying to discredit the man, but he makes it real hard to get a handle on him sometimes so I can at least know where I stand on the playing field. It has become so exhausting I just don't even try to keep in touch or hangout anymore. He will call me from time to time to catch up, but after that I do not want much to do with him because I know he will open up a pack of lies and bs. Is it meth that makes someone lie so much or is this just and inter personal problem?

I've tried asking nicely, splitting out 2-part kitchen sink, writing rules together, and going on a 3 week cleaning strike. Every time she leaves a mess she insists I left the mess and am blaming her for it. Not sure if it's a tactic or if she is really that oblivious. She never noticed the cleaning strike and now uses it as an example of how messy I am. My bedroom is allways cluttered so she says I'm the slob but it's only messy cause I'm spending all my spare time cleaning up after her. What can I do?!

Hi this isn't really a question but I'm super depressed right now about not having a life or friends. I have so much going for me like being in graduate school but I'm just so lonely and depressed that everyone has these friends and places to go, while in the past I had friends that didn't treat me right so I decided it was better to be alone, then friends with people that bring you down. I hold onto the hope that one day I'll have my own life, family, and friends. Does anyone else feel this way, or you felt this way, and life got better?

I told my mom about the guy I'm seeing and now everytime I go out she makes comments that are annoying. I didnt even want her to know his name let alone everything Ive learned about him. I don't understand why I couldn't just keep it from her. I tend to run into this problem a lot. I don't want her to know something but I still end up telling her. I'm not this way with anyone else. I never really had friends but still now I have a few friends but still end up telling my mom my secrets.

So I have this friend who grew up as a Jehova Witness, she is not an "active" witness, she still goes to some important ceremonies but doesn t go to meetings or door to door, still, she says she is a Jehova Witness and doesn t celebrate birthdays, Christmas or New Year because it s "important for her to respect that" Thing is she doesn t celebrate birthdays but will gladly takes the presents people give her on hers, but never buys presents for anyone. She says she doesn t celebrate Christmas, but comes to my house (my mom invites her because she doesn t want her to be alone) and eats and drinks, and receives the presents my family buys for her; she is the only one who doesn t buy presents for anyone because, and she makes this very clear, "she s not celebrating anything, she s just keeping us company" It really makes me mad, should I say something?

I texted my friend earlier at a little past midnight, wishing them a happy new year, happy and healthy one and best of luck in everything they do. They haven't yet responded to me and it's been almost a day. But yet they are on other social medias like snapchat. Are they ignoring me? Personally I don't believe in "forgetting" to respond, I think that's bullshit. So I don't think that's the case. I don't want to bother my friend again, but I was just trying to be nice. Why haven't they responded? I did text them on Thanksgiving and Christmas and both times they responded back instantly.

I've known this girl since she was born (she's 3 months younger than me...I'll be 28 in a few days). We were inseparable for 2 years in elementary school and her parents were my 2nd parents. Just after 5th grade, she moved half an hour away and that was back before MySpace and Facebook and all that, so we kept in touch by phone calls and snail mail and email. We saw each other every other weekend for a few years. When we were about 16, our friendship started to fade. She made new friends at her high school and became busy with honors classes/homework and band and I was busy with family stuff and school. We realized we weren't really friends anymore so we stopped talking. 6 months later, we started talking again, but things were never the same. Last time I saw her was 7 years ago. It was like we picked up where we left off, no missing a beat. I learned at some point that she developed such bad depression that she had to drop out of school for a bit, but I'm not sure why. Her parents got divorced when we were 14, but that's about the worst thing that's happened to her (that I know of), at least until recently. We've talked a little here and there, said our "I love you" and "I miss you", but she deleted me off Facebook some months ago. My mom passed away in October and she didn't take off time to go to my mom's funeral, but her mom and brother came. Last night, she was drunk (I suspect) and she sent me a photo of her boyfriend and her saying "Happy New Year" on Snapchat. I wrote back saying I hope they had a Happy New Year's Eve and she said that she hoped my boyfriend and I did, too. She brought up an old inside joke of ours, which I continued and then she continued some more. I was surprised she even remembered it!!! I told her I miss her and she said she misses me, too, but that was that. Why is she like this? I've tried asking why we can't be FB friends, but she doesn't respond then. Why does she treat me like she dislikes me one minute and then goes back to how things were between 15 years ago, another minute? Back in high school, she never told me she was having issues with depression. She even posted about a time where she was talking to her school friends about her issues, but she never brought them up to me although I was supposed to be her best friend. She was NEVER fake, I assure you.

Why am I such a bad person? Even from the start, I mean I used to think why do people be nasty to me, recently I've realised I've done f**ked up things, I said f*cked up things too. I mean people have been nasty for no reason but maybe it's Karma? No one wants anything to do with me now, no friends. My cousin and auntie are above average, conventionally pretty unlike me, they never have in their lives suffered. I'm also 19 and look 14, always reminded of it too. I am joining the army but reconsidering because I will go through hell there too, you hear about it all the time, your own people bullying you. I get enough sh*t in Military college, also cause I'm weak, one day I'll punch the girl who keeps saying it to me though, especially when she self harms, she's the real weak one. I was popular one time and I have dated but I can't have long lasting relationships or friendships, I destroy them. I used to tell people to get cancer, kill themselves and argue with random people over social media a few years back and I still tell people to kill them selves now. I'm reality it's me who should.

Why am I such a bad person? Even from the start, I mean I used to think why do people be nasty to me, recently I've realised I've done f**ked up things, I said f*cked up things too. I mean people have been nasty for no reason but maybe it's Karma? No one wants anything to do with me now, no family, no friends. Hardly anyone ever messages me from family, sometimes my siblings, parents and grandparents but that's it, oh and my auntie, but rarely. Obviously I live with parents still anyway so messaging doesn't really matter but I get the feeling they hate me at times. I mean I've been accused of taking drugs when I've never took a drug in my life, but apparently I look like I do, I've multiple times from everyone had nasty comments about my looks, bullied for being short, bullied for being quiet, bullied for make up not being blended properly, had a nasty comment saying I have a big head and big belly from a family member, told to never shave my head because I would look like a man, all from family members & outsiders. I know I'm ugly, I've been called Regan from the exorcist, scary looking, told I look like Wednesday Addams autistic cousin and other really nasty comments like "you have a smelly looking mole" even though I'm a bad person I don't deserve to be attacked like this and I don't know why I was put on earth to just go through hell.

Imagine the following situation: you are sitting relaxed in the steam sauna and another man sits accidentally (and naked) on your lap because he was not seeing right because of the steam ... What would you do in this situation?

I want to make a blood pact with my friend for friendship reasons, no santanic ****. But I'm worried about if mixing bloods could kill me or harm me in anyway. I doubt we could transfer std coz we have never had sex either of us. Unless you can contract it from fingering. But I need to know if it is dangerous

I'm 14 years old, and rarely ever talk to my friends about my issues. They do understand that I have them, however, and often explain their own troubles with each other. When everyone but me does it, they're treated with sympathy and care (even though I secretly feel that they don't even know what it feels like, and do it for reasons of 'angst' I guess. I don't know though, just a feeling, I'd never ever express it.) recently I told them I thought I might have PTSD, because whenever someone talks angrily or yells, I break down in tears and simply can't take it. (Most of the time I'll have the urge to stab them as well, although I'd never do it.) this would make sense because the majority of my childhood was filled with screaming... this on its own wasn't something that bothered me. It was the fear of someone getting killed, because sometimes it would come close to that once yelling had begun. We would have to hide in bathrooms and stay in hotels to get away. What bothers me most here, is that they know this. My best friend has witnessed this firsthand, and sometimes I would need to stay at her place for a night. They've all known about it, but every time I bring it up (which is not that often anymore, thankfully) and when I brought up PTSD, my best friend said "oof." That's it. And then they all began joking around like I hadn't said anything. They're simply ignoring me. What do I do? I can't ditch my best friend. It's not that simple.

If both people agree to it upfront there shouldn't be an issue.

I don't think that I am anymore weird than any other introverted person, it is just that the people that I grew up around are incredibly ignorant and stupid. I am a 19 year old black girl. I am introverted, quiet, and I like to stick to myself. I speak "proper English", and I like to listen to a lot of oldies and rock music. I also love to read. I grew up in a pretty urban area, and have no idea where I got my personality and interests from. I mean, I have always been kind of my own person. So I guess I am just how I am. Anyways, my entire life I have never really fit in with black people. I have never actually had a friend, because black kids (especially black girls) has never liked me. I was bullied and picked on, although I have never done anything to these people. Everyone around me agrees that I am really smart, and I am always the person that they come to for help. However, they always remind me of how "weird" I am. Am I "weird", or is it just that because I am not ghetto (which is something a lot of people expects from a black girl), that people call me this.

Example one : My birthday weekend she played music and I started dancing a little and was recording on snapchat. My friend literally just looked at me up and down. She didnt say go girl its your birthday or encourage me like she does her other friends. She is usually very lively and energetic. Other thing from that night she was recording me on her snapchat and I turned around and did a little booty dance and she hurried up and turned the camera from me and said she's gonna delete that one. Idk maybe she didnt want me to look a fool on camera. I am very overweight and not the best dancer. It just frustrates me that people always tell me Im boring and dont come out my shell then when I do its never enough or people just awkwardly stare at me. Example: Anytime I say anything the whole room gets quiet and people just stare at each other . Which makes it so hard for me to speak up in that social situation again. I dont know what I say wrong . I actually wish people would tell me so I can stop doing whatever that is. I mean it happens no matter where I go.

I love talking to my friends but I just hate calling because everytime we call or FaceTime there's always multiple long awkward silences. Not to mention, I just don't have call stamina- it's just not my thing. I'd rather talk to them face to face in person than face to.. phone if that makes sense XD How can I nicely tell them this because whenever I try to tell them, right before I send it and am proofreading my explanation on this it makes me sound like a jerk and I end up not sending and making up an excuse instead and I am tired of making excuses.

One of my best friends committed suicide a while ago. When it happened, I was so hurt, and the first thing I did was write a letter to them, even though I knew they'd never see it. Then I sorta just continued. Everyday, I would write them a letter in my notebook and tell them about what was going on and how much I miss them. And it makes me feel better. Even though they're gone, it still helps me feel that a small piece of them is still with me. My friends found it and started calling it stupid and were laughing about it. They won't leave me alone about it and keep saying stuff like "still writing to a dead person?" Maybe what I'm doing is stupid but I don't know. It's become a habit and I don't want to stop. It's the only thing that makes me feel like they're still here with me, and it comforts me.

I've been living with my roommates in a townhome for 2 years. Great roommates and all however, when our lease is up in 6months I'll be moving in with my boyfriend of 3yrs. I'm nervous to tell them! How can I tell them nicely ?

I just an attractive person, with many unlikable characteristics making normal people hate me. I hate all institutions and even though I'm not poor my standards of living make $50 seem like its $1.

I left school because of bullying,lost weight,got into college and people from my hometown started to reach out "congratulating" me on success and their the reason why I left. Now their saying I'm the mean one. Didn't I earn the right to be "snarky" or whatever you want to call it?

In a game of Never Have I Ever with my friend, her sister, and her group of friends, we were all initially having fun. When almost everyone had two fingers down and wanted to play another game, I insisted we continue playing because it was fun and light hearted. My friends decided to say obvious things that would get me out like "never have I ever worn a green shirt" and I was wearing a green shirt, just so we could move on to another game. My close friend who invited me decided to say this to get me out — "Never Have I Ever ****** A Guy On Tinder". Everyone heard. I knew only 2/12 people that were there, all complete strangers. I didn't want anyone knowing that about me and I thought I could trust her. She apologized profusely and even cried. I accepted her apology in the moment, but I still don't know how to feel about it. I know she regrets it, but still doesn't sit with me well.

I started talking to this guy and as I was looking at his eyes in the beginning of the conversation, he was looking from my eyes to my lips. He did this twice. Looked into my eyes, lips,eyes, lips and finally eyes again... Only after doing this he could establish eye contact.

Lo que sucedio es que mi novio y yo hicimos el amor pero despues de eso le chupe su pene y lo bese y pues despues hicimos el 69 ¿podria quedar embarazada si el introducio su boca o lengua en area vaginal a pesar de que lo bese pero lo bese despues de averle chupado su pene? Envien una mejor respuesta! Xfavor

I don't care about not having friends to hell with them I am not the party type either I just spent the night playing video games and went to bed at 10 pm

its new years eve i have no friends and im sitting in my dark room with my cat and pc while crying my eyes out while my sisters are downstairs having a party why am i so sad and why cant i celebrate like a normal person. none of my friends are here to celebrate with me and i have no body, please help me. -Anon

Would you keep being friends with someone that kept leaving the conversation when you'te Texting with them? And also when you bring it to their attention and they say they don't mean to but yet they keep doing it but yet they're busy a lot of the time

I was at my best friends house for a party and I smiled at her older sister as she walked past. She didn't smile back and I made a joke to my friend about her sister hating me. She laughed and said "Yeah she doesn't like you." I was kinda confused and asked what she was talking about. She said "Oh I didn't tell you? She doesn't like it when I invite you over. She thinks you're rude." I laughed it off but it's been bugging me for a while. I don't understand why she thinks that I'm rude because, though I can definitely be unpleasant at times, I have never been even the slitest bit rude to her or anyone she knows. I always try to be on my best behavior when I'm around my best friend's family (or any of my friends' families for that matter) because I think that it's very important that they like to be around me. I'm very insecure about people not liking me and this is really bothering me. How do I make her like me?
