Any tips and tricks? I feel very cut off from everyone else and I've been told I have a "tough shell." I'm shy and not very outgoing, and I also have a hard time making friends and associating myslef with others. I don't want to stay an awkward, lone wolf forever. How do I make myself seem more open and approachable? And how do I make myself someone people want to go out of their way to be friends with?

There is no point in giving inappropriate answers and being trolls since you'll just get reported.

My best ever friend and me have drifted apart the last few years. I never even see her anymore, she's moved away and has a new best friend and they both have a child the same age who are also best friends and now they have started their own business together. My old friend never makes any effort to talk to me, see me, didn't turn up to my wedding, has no time for me. She keeps posting loads of photos and exciting things on her Facebook and instagram with her best friend and it's making me feel really rubbish about my own life, jealous and lonely. Social media is the only contact I now have with her and the only thing keeping us slightly connected. If I delete her she probably won't even notice for months or even care. Should I get rid of her for good and try and move on? I desperately want her as my friend still but if I'm lucky to get a text reply from her she just forgets about me and stops messaging after a couple of texts. What shall I do?

Her boyfriend tried to kiss me yesterday. I couldn't sleep because of it, so I called her over to my house to tell her about it. She was immediately in denial, accused me of lying so that they could break up, told me she was hurt by me, and called me a bad friend. We've been best friends since high school. How could she not believe me? Shouldn't she know that I'd never lie to her?

Why do abusers hate women who work, have their own apartment and car? Why do they prefer weak women who have nowhere to go? And no job? Or women on welfare and disabled women?

I feel like all my friends are ignoring me nor take me seriously at all. I've seen too many icons that say 'read' but they don't reply. I currently have no internet friends to talk to or a serious friend outside of school because i feel they all disregard me. I find it tough to make friends initially because i'm introverted and many people around me find me intimidating due to my appearance.. that's mainly why i'm quiet at school. What should i do? :(

I've always been an introverted ever since i was young. When i was 10 i moved to a different city and faced a tough time since i didn't get used to things fast. It was hard when i moved to secondary school the following year, I became really quiet but after 2-3 years i made a large group of friends since everyone began at the same time. I was a loud person and would laugh a lot everyday. Around 2 years ago in 2017 october, i moved and it became really hard and i fell into a clinically diagnosed depression due to personal & social problems. Because of that, i'd rarely speak all year except for registration in lessons, to my family & a tiny circle of friends. I only met my old friends 3 times. Now that i feel a bit more comfortable in school, i find it physically hard to talk to people/teachers & make new friends... i have to stop and think about my words often, i stumble and mix up my words, i have no basic conversation skills whatsoever, and i sound very foreign despite being born in England. I'm 15 and i'm going to have to start doing job interviews, speaking tests and more soon but i'm afraid of being awkward. What should i do?

This guy wants to have sex with me. But I feel self conscious about my weight and breasts. My breasts are really huge. He knows what I look like because I met him where he works. He said he likes full figured women with large breasts. But being clothed and naked are two different things. My breasts sag and it makes me feel self conscious. I really want to do it though.

So the other day was my bday and the girl who claims to be my best friend texts me In the evening saying happy bday then callls me when she's drunk to sing me happy birthday. Am I wrong for feeling some type of way or?

So the other day was my birthday and the girl who claims to be my best friend shoots me a text mid day saying happy birthday then when she gets home from all late after 11pm drinking she wants to call me and sing happy birthday am I wrong to feel some type of way or am I making something out of nothing ?

Long story..I've been best friends with this guy for the past 6 years and we are currently almost joining university in two months. Even when he dated some time back, people would still say we'd get married. We text each other daily and he makes sure he tells me goodnight almost everyday, plus including really sweet names.Anyways, we met up yesterday after one month of seeing each other. We went to a fast food place and ate and talked and later we cuddled for a really long time with him giving me kisses on my forehead and cheeks.(honestly I felt like I was in heaven😂) and we also made a pact to never leave each other. He also said that he wishes we would stay like that forever.Then we took the same taxi home although we live in different places. I put my head on his shoulder and he put his head on mine. Then he took my hand and he made sure we were locking hands the whole time and he also kept rubbing my hands. When I reached home we just hugged. The problem is that he told me he likes someone( I know her) but the girl doesn't like him back. Why is he doing all these then if his heart belongs to someone else? Or is he just messing with me? I don't know what to do.

My friend's birthday it is in a couple of days, I ask her opinion about something I want to get her. It's something kind of expensive $120 and she was ashamed with the idea of me getting her such a expensive gift and she suggested I should get her a video game instead cause it's cheaper but 5 mins after she started sending me this images of a smart watch which was $150 and told me that since I was willing to spend $120 in a flower she rather have the watch. She even suggested she was gonna put 30 bucks. I felt like a total idiot, Why she is like that? I am not her dad, I am her friend. You don't tell me "you feel ashamed" and the proceed to take advantage of my offer.... but she knows that I am a student working at night as a waitress to pay my bills cause I live alone...spending 120 in a gift it's way over my budget, I was kind of surprised when she showed me some consideration asking me to buy her something cheeper but then she proceeds to take advantage of me...sometimes I feel like terrible friend complaining about her but I don't know anymore

Say you knew this person for a few months and you two decide to have your first sleepover. How would you react to them asking if they can sleep without a shirt and pants, whether they're girl or boy. I'm actually really curious on this answer.

I've never had the experience of dating someone, even for just 1 date. Never, even when I was a teenager. Never. I'm not sure if I even want to marry someone yet, but I at least want to see what it's like to be with someone and if I find someone I truly love than maybe I'll get married eventually. But how am I supposed even find a decent guy? I'm moving soon (to finish up college), so it might be a good time to get out more and talk to more people and stuff. But a few years ago I did get asked out, but then I declined because it was so out of the blue that I didn't realize what was happening, and I only saw the guy as a friend. Nothing more and nothing less. (He was someone from work). How should I go about finding someone, or them finding me?? And I don't want to do dating apps/websites. Those seem like they only have sketchy people on them. I'm also a only child, and I realized lately, I don't want to end up completely alone. My childhood friends have had plenty of relationships, and even my younger cousins have gone on dates/have had more boyfriends then me. I'm seriously the odd one out... I don't really want to end up alone... I'm not worried about it yet. But I'm not sure what to do either. They say don't go looking for a relationship... but if you've never had one before what should you even do?? Any advice?? Thanks. 1 I would never have sex before marriage... it's just not me. 2 I've never even cared about dating until recently... so to me I didn't act desperate around anyone at all. I might've acted a little different around them if I had a crush on them. But that's as far as it got... I'm in my 20's if that matters I'm a young adult woman

I'm 19 he's 45 it's the funnest thing ever should I feel bad

Hi, so let me give you some context. At my high school there are always people who are considered less "popular" I guess (but many of them are actually really amazing people if you get to know them!!!) Anyways, because of this label these people often get left out and even made fun of indirectly. I d like to help these individuals in some way, but at the same time I m also ashamed to say that I m guilty of talking trash about them too. And honestly, it was just for pathetic and selfish reasons :( On several occasions I ve wanted to stand up for these people when mean things were said about them, but I m scared of offending my friends and classmates. I also feel hypocritical because in the past I did the same thing; I basically bullied them. I m really confused, but I genuinely want to change and do what is right. But what should I even do? Thanks for helping me!!! Lol I just realized this is kind of a weird and awkward question! But I promise it's legitimately an issue for me.

My 10 year high school reunion is currently being planned this year, probably for the summer. I'm not sure I want to go. The majority of the members in the group that was created to invite people, are either married and/or with kids or they've moved to another state and/or are in their respective careers. I am 28, unwed and childless (although in a serious relationship) and I work in fast food. I know why I am where I am in life, but most people won't understand. The kids I went to school with back then were HIGHLY stuck-up and judgmental. The school was a rich, public school and if you didn't wear name brand clothes or hang out with the most popular kids, you were judged. If you were the slightest bit different, you were judged. Would you go to your 10 year high school reunion or did you? Had anybody changed? It's kind of funny because I was an average teenage girl and I've noticed two guys who were nerdy and socially awkward who I never would've dated, are now dating or MARRIED to supermodel looking women!!! My mom passed away, but some of her high school friends added me on Facebook after she passed away. They're about to have their 45th high-school reunion!! Why would anybody go to that!? lol
