I forgive people I don't forget though I just don't talk to them anymore and distance myself from them. I just don't need that emotional baggage on my shoulders.

Is there something wrong with me if I'm a quiet person? Or is there something wrong if I just prefer to have a small friend circle? Is something wrong if I just don't want to talk to some people? Is there something wrong if I don't dress like all the other girls? Is there something wrong if I'm an introvert? Is there something wrong if I'm shy? Because apparently to my bf, I am weird because of these things. It feels like all he cares about is status. How people see him. He says I care about what other people think, but if he's so worried about whether I'm normal or not, isn't he the one who cares way more than I do?

My best friend and I have this mutual friend. From the beginning, the other two have flirted despite my best friend having her own girlfriend. It never went anywhere and they never expected it to. I've always lowkey thought the other friend was hella cute, but he always assumed I was only into girls and I always assumed that he didn't see me in that way anyway. Well, the last time we hung out, we all got drunk and mutual friend and I made out. I had to take my too drunk best friend home so we couldn't continue. The thing is, me and mutual friend really want to continue, but best friend doesn't want us to because she still lowkey has a crush on him despite having a girlfriend of her own. I feel like if I hooked up with him I would betray some best friend code since we both kinda like him. But then again is my best friend being selfish since she has a girlfriend and I don't? Would I be an awful person for hooking up with him anyway? Someone please give me some insight from an outsiders point of view.

I don't even know any of these people but they are pointing and smiling and laughing at me. Found out I sort of but not really know one of their friends who I met through a church thing. We were in a group setting and we were friendly to each other. That is it. That friend called my name across a room but I didn't go over there. (I just want to know what I did to those people).

so i have 3 roommates, all who I am friends with. One roommate, when we first moved in, brought her xbox and remotes, and I brought some xbox games I had. Last week a friend was hosting a game night and asked if I had a xbox remote I could bring. Looking back, i should have asked permission. But we all share the xbox so i didn't think it was a big deal. When I left his house, i took the wrong remote. It works perfectly fine, but she noticed and was complaining "it wasn't the right one" I was honest. I told her it was my fault, and I would switch it back. She kept making a fuss about it. She then took all her remotes out of the living room and put it in her room, even though they had been in the living room for years as if she didn't trust me anymore to have acess to it. She sent me a picture the next day of what her remote is supposed to look like. I had already said I would switch it back 5 times. Its not like I lost a remote, i just accidentally grabbed one that wasn't hers. And i told her I would switch it back. and apologized for not asking first. Plus remotes are like $10. This isn't the first (in my opinion) she overreacts. Yes, she has a right to be annoyed, but its so minor, if it were me I wouldn't care. Opinions?

Hi, I'm a 23 year old male. At school I got on with a lot of people but only had one good friend. When school finished, I matured and he didn't so we just grew apart. I keep in contact with a guy and girl from school and we meet every few months or so but I wouldn't want to be much closer than that. I worked in retail and used to go clubbing with these people every week and as we all started leaving we have grown apart although we do meet up a fair bit. I still meet up with 3 of the guys but again, I would only really meet them to go clubbing. I am really looking for friendships where we can chill out together on the weekends, go on holidays together etc but I struggle to find people that I want to be more than just a clubbing friend/acquaintance. I'm very sociable and like to think I'm very fun, I just ironically don't have any interests so can't really join a group or a club. Does anyone have any advice or tips on how I can get a new social circle?

Im 26, shes 24. She works for the same company as i do, shes a new hire, but i only see her two days a week but only for about 15 minutes/day untill shes assigned her job for the day. We spoke 4 times and all were good conversations. She was flirty, smiled and laughed alot. Shes into the same sports and has a similar personality as me. She seemed so into me. I finally had her alone with no one near, so i asked for her number. She gave it to me. Idk, maybe she was caught off guard, maybe it wasnt the right time. But i felt it was a golden opportunity since no other coworkers were eavesdropping & thought i might not have that chance again. I texted her "hey whats up" yesterday, she responded once. I tried continuing the conversation a little bit further, but she hasnt responded. Then in the evening i sent her a funny meme (about our favorite sports team). And she has responded. Its all still marked unread on her part. What is it? I dont get it. My luck in the dating world is a joke.

I got drunk with my manager and the owner of my company and I called the owner a B**** and said if he kept acting like one then I might be inclined to make him one. I also kind of blocked him in a corner and I can't really remember but I probably made a few other comments. For some reason everyone just lets me act this way I've been doing it for years. You think I'll get in trouble at some point? I keep getting worse and worse. This is all off work hours. I've assaulted other employees but they were lower down so they couldn't do anything about it but with the owner it makes me nervous. Obviously what I'm doing isn't that bad or something would have happened by now.

For my best friend, I bought her a cake to school for her birthday. Anyway for my birthday she later told me she was too busy with college apps to text me happy birthday on my birthday. She told me she didn't forget my birthday though and to test her I asked her and she knew the date. My previous birthday she bought me whatever I wanted at the mall but I had to ask her, set the date for the plan and ask her to buy something for my birthday. I didn't text my "best friend" in 6 months and she never reached out. When asked in real life about it she said she was busy with college apps. All this time I thought she accidentally lost my number because I lost hers and thought I accidentally blocked her but in reality she had my number this whole time. I was so desperate that I spent an hour trying to remember my old snapchat and another hour getting wifi to text her on snapchat. She told me that I was still her #1 best friend and that she cares about our friendship just as much as I do AND she said that she texted about making plans but I just didn't get them. When I asked her to show me these texts in real life she said she meant she responded to the text that I SENT HER 6 months ago about making plans. I didn't text her back in 6 months to see if she would ever initiate text and she didn't. I decided last year to stop talking to her in real life and we didn't talk for a month. I feel like if this wasn't a situation that I was so emotional about I would be able to think rationally and I know I've hit an all time low in terms of self-respect to ask this on yahoo answers but we've been friends for so long and had a few good memories and I don't know why this is so hard for me to let go. I had no problem letting go of my previous best friends. One of my previous friends 3 years ago told me that I was really desperate when I asked her for her true opinion and I think she's right. It's so sad that I've never had a friend in high school who initiated conversation with me or initiated to make plans with me or texted me first. The "friends" that did do that ditched me the second they were accepted by the popular people. I really hope one day I have friends who appreciate and reciprocate my effort. I know that there are good people out there tho because I have had classmates come to me privately and told me that they wish they had a friend as loyal as me and that I deserve better friends who are as loyal as me and put in as much as effort as I do. This says alot to me that I must've really hit an all time low if random people are willing to chime in because that's how bad its gotten because usually people don't do that. I appreciate these people. I bet no one will even answer my question. Please give me your 100% uncut opinion Everything happens for a reason. I know that me "accidentally" losing her number was god being like " get some self respect sis you deserve better" but my desperate *** still found a way to get ahold of my toxic friend again. We haven't seen each other in real life in 9 months and this ***** still was sitting there telling me there's nothing to talk about. I initiated out of probably 50 conversations 49 of them. WE HAVEN'T SEEN EACH OTHER IN 9 MONTHS AND SHE STILL COULDN'T THINK OF ANYTHING TO TALK ABOUT WITH ME. Also another who has been through something similar like this how do I attract friendships that are 50/50 and not as toxic as the one I have with my ex-best friend PS I HAVE BLOCKED HER NUMBER AND HER SNAPCHAT. EVERYTIME I TELL HER I DON'T WANT TO BE FRIENDS I GO CRAWLING BACK. THIS TIME IM DROPPING HER WITH NO EXPLANATION. IF SHE CAN GO 6 MONTHS NOT TEXTING ME, AT THIS RATE I WILL ALREADY BE IN COLLEGE SO IT WON'T EVEN MATTER ANYMORE

She blocked me on all social media This happened 6 weeks ago and I sent her a apoogy text snd she replied. basically saying that she doesn't have the time or energy to constantly text me. She said she wishes we talk from time to time and not constantly like we use to. She said it was disrespectful to her husband but I see her as a friend and I told her that. Anyways it appear she wants to take the restart of the friendship slow but she has set boundaries for me. How do I act with out crossing thouse boundaries set by her? Let's say we start talking again and out of nowhere we are talking. Daily how do I proceed ? Do I just talk to her every other day? I already told her I would respect her wishes and back off a bit but I was giving a second chance how do proceed now?

I haven't felt connected to her in recent years. I always feels drained/tired after seeing my friend. I feel that her energy is competitive. She is paranoid that I would copy her when SHE was the one copying ME! I usually never care for that stuff bc it's so superficial (same socks, shirt, bag...I don't care..) but she'll throw some sort of dig and not realize it? She would always be competitive about everything but be low-key about it. Also, the thing she would "admire" about me (going to private school growing up, family vacations, being close to my cousins), she would resent. And I can't help but feel like she wants to be a better version of myself. I had an "aha moment" & realized her newest friend (her co-worker) was the old me. She's very bubbly, sweet, friendly... literally enables her bad behavior. I used to be that doormat. I realized I stopped behaving that way towards her in the past few years because it wasn't reciprocated. She said so many passive-agressive remarks, acted as if she was superior, and the need to gossip constantly. When I stated standing up to myself with honesty and being assertive, she found this new friend. Because I was in that spot, I'm pretty sure my friend uses her friend as a soundboard to talk about EVERYONE in her life and that includes me. And yes, I cannot trust her. She couldn't keep up with her lies and I caught her. I'm very private and everything I tell her, she tells everyone. Now, she's constantly asking about if my fiancé & I are going to buy a house. It makes me feel uncomfortable bc it feels like a competition. I don't bring it up & she'll just start giving me unsolicited advice & that I SHOULDN'T buy a house. She doesn't know my finances & she doesn't know my finances. When other people or friends ask, I don't feel as cornered, then again, they ask once. After I see her, I feel angry & I have headaches. I'm taking responsibility for this - I don't need to be around her so much. I'm thinking of cutting this off...

I had a close friend in my first year; we're still friends but she left due to lack of money to pay for college. I also had people i hang out the second year ; but they turned out rather toxic and bad people whom I cut the connection so with (long story short; they were arseholes; talking illy of people they dont even know well, always misinterpreting my words based upon how they precieve it, and i knew i couldnt trust or count on them on personal issues and never considered them my friends all the above reasons so I was rather happy i cut the ties with mean and bad people like them. I do of course have friends but outside school only; my flatmates, and that best friend i made in my freshman year etc Ever since then, i never really find any one whom I feel a real connection between and people disappoint me after i hang out and get to know them; for showing how fake they are to people around them and to me. I never really am making friends ever since my freshman year and so I am always alone all the time in college. Most of the time I am fine with being all by myself. But it gets a bit lonely when it is friday and you have no body to hang out with, go to the movies or have lunch during break times. Is it normal to nt have any friends or find those people that you know are the true ones in college ? And how do I deal wth my current situation of being alone all the time in college due to no friends? Thank you for yor answers.

I feel like the life I'm living is completely out of alignment. If you asked me where I'd be when I was 20, I would have definitely not anticipated this. I'm 27 years old and I'm behind where I want to be emotionally, financially, physically, and definitely socially. The worst part is knowing for a fact that I can't rewind time. I just got a job on February 1st after being unemployed for several months, my previous job laid me off and I was making peanuts there. My new job is 55,000 a year - a decent salary. But here's the thing - I'm in a lot of debt. Student loans, car payment, all of it equals about 67,000 dollars. By the time I pay it off, I may well be 30+. I have never gotten laid. This is a thing a lot of people don't think is a big deal because they're socialized into it - but I have never even kissed a girl. Meanwhile, a lot of my friends are married or in long-term relationships headed towards marriage and I'm still in the kiddie pool. What woman is going to want to teach a grown man sex? I have been working out in the gym for 4+ years but the progress I'm making is slow and frustrating. I have never really traveled widely and I know the best time to do it is in your 20s. I should have done a study abroad trip in college but I chickened out. I just, in general, regret a ton of things in my past because I'm paying for them now. How do I live with my abject failure as a man and human being moving forward?

Just got a new housemate. He's about 5 years younger than me, but a good stable bloke I've known for some time. I was walking from my room to shower this morning and caught him on his way out. Being straight out of bed, I had nothing on I said good morning, and he had a minor freak out which i did not expect. Clamped his eyes shut, kept saying he was sorry I've pretty much always done this. Previous flatmate never had a problem, often going about the same himself. Living in close quarters, it just happens. So Maybe he's brought up a bit more conservative? Or maybe it's something to do with the age gap? I feel like I should say something, but no idea how or what? Lil help?

I had a roommate who had her best friend over all the time, gave the key to her best friend so her friend can come in any time without consulting me first or telling me how she gave the key to her bff, and then called people over for random eating parties and was called out if I didnt want to participate in those random parties she would hold. She would also sleep super late and would make very loud talking and shouting noises playing the game up until 5ams or so until I had to tell her off. She was also very anxious and depressed person and that carried even over me. I missed my classes a lot since I was not able to sleep well with all her noises late till at night and my gpa dropped so low the term i had her as my roommate. It was very exhausting. After just 4 months living with her (and basically her bff who would be there all the time for sleepovers all the time everyday) , my poor soul has finally been freed and I didnt want to be friend with her anymore lol

I'm 21 and I moved to a new state for a job. I've been here for 2 months now. And I still don't have any friends. I work 50 hours per week, and I love my job, and the people I work with are pretty cool - we're friendly enough. But we're not friends. I've been trying to try out some churches but either the weathers bad (heavy snow, I'm from the south) or I oversleep. My birthday is in a couple of weeks, and I've never made a big deal out of my birthday - just a meal with my family and whatever small shindig my friends had planned (usually dancing or girls night in or light vandalism or co-ed game night... that sort of thing). But now I'm 2 thousand miles away from all of them. I don't know what to do, I'm just lonely all the time, and I feel like it's making me a little crazy.

i am a cashier and i took my phone out and brought it to my face. i was looking at my face and then i told the girl if she could please swipe her credit card because she was just standing there. then she was like "what are you doing with your phone?" and i told her im looking at myself then she said "oh i though you were taking a picture of me" and finally swiped her card like why would she think I'm even taking a picture of her. she wasn't even an attractive women.and im in my 20s and she looked 40 or 50.

This guy and I are friends we hung out and we had fun together. We went out to the movies and out to eat and then we had sex. I asked him if his guy friends are as exciting as he is. He said more exciting I told him I asked because I've never met a guy as exciting as he is. And he said I will so I asked him if he would introduce me to his his friends and that he could hook me up. Do you think this is ok since we are only friends? I don't see the problem he and I are just friends.

My two friends and I where pretty close and we shared a lot of storys. Untill my best friend ( I will refer to her as "L") Got a boyfriend. At first I was happy for her, obviously, she's my best friend. But the she started to act weird, she spent a lot (and really A LOT) of time with him (I will refer to him as S) So L and S started doing al these "sexual" stuff and me and my other best friend (I will refer to her as E) started getting really worried. L couldn't stop touching S and she really just didn't talk to us. So my friend and I went over to her after school and started talking about how we felt. Keep in mind this has been going on for a couple months. But as you could guess L didn't listen( even tho we had talked about this multiple times) We started ignoring her but that didn't work. I sended her a really long text saying how I felt but that didn't work This has been going on for way to long and I really don't know what to do. First of all she doesn't cares about us and only talks with us when S is not around Second of all she is doing stuff that are really not age appropiate (sexual stuff) and I'm getting really worried about her What should I do to become friends again?

I'm a home body. I'm a 20 year old college student. I had a very over protective dad growing up, so I couldn't go out anywhere until I got to college. Don't get me wrong, I want to go out and have fun. I want to enjoy my "college experience". However, when I do get the chance to go out, I feel so out of place and uncomfortable. I feel like I don't fit in with anyone around me. I immediately want to go home. I have no real friends, so could that be the reason why I don't enjoy going out? College is almost over for me, so I want to make the best of the short time I had left. Does any one else experience this? If so, how did you get over it/ how can I change?

I am 19 yo and go to school and work part time. My mom wants to rent me the house with 2 more friends of mine. She wants to charge me less than my friends. I think that's so unfair for my friends. I think she should be fair and charge us the same amount. She said she doesn't want me to stress but I feel bad having my friends pay more than me. Am i wrong?

Hola gente. Una amiga me dijo una frase que no entendí y quisiera que me dijeran qué significa. "Prendes el boiler y no te metes a bañar"

I have a best guy friend who I am super close with! Let's call him Ryan. We also have a mutual friend named Lauren. I was hanging out with Ryan this week and lauren was there too, as well as some of our other mutual friends. When Ryan drinks, he can tend to get a little handsy/touchy-feeling. While at the bar, he kept laying his head on me, hugging me, grabbing my side, touching my butt, etc. I ended up leaving the bar before him and the next day, I found out that he hooked up with Lauren. Today was the first time I've seen him since we hung out and he was being so weird! He barely said more than 15 words to me, wouldn't look at me, etc. Then he asked me if I was okay and if I was mad at him. Why would he ask me that?! Is he upset with me? Did I do something to upset him?! Help :(

I couldnt think of anyone to ask this to hi internet ig. my mom died five years ago and idk i guess i have a bad habit of never telling people including my closest friends idk now one of my friends mom is having surgery and shes worried and **** idk if itll make sense to tell her about that rn or if its relevant at all idk ***

Sometimes I feel so unwanted and unimportant. I rarely get invited places, I make my family life harder, nobody ever cares about me enough to listen to what I'm saying. I want to escape and meet people that actually care about me but the question is, "why am I so ignored?"

I'm 20 years old and have never partied, had a boyfriend, really done anything wild at all. I sit home every Friday and weekends because I really don't have friends. How can I change this?

How to respond when a guy says you know you love me. The thing is that we are not dating nor we hang out. Neither of us told each other about our feelings. What should I take from this?

details are helpful.

I just move to a town a few months ago.. I don't know anyone here other than my co-workers. I do sometimes hang out with them but we don't really share same interests. They are more into going out at night and drinking. I am normally a very social person and just being home all the time bothers me a lot. Is there any website I can use to make friends ?

A girl at work told me that her Mom doesnt like the friend she's is hanging out with and the counselor for school she doesn't like and she told her that she also doesn't like her doing club activities. The mother says if you keep hanging around with this friend I will cut you off and you have to pay for school. The mother is not allowing her to see her friend and counselor or she will cut her off. That girl and her friend have been friends for years and are really good friends and supporters of each other through thick and thin. They are there for each other every single day. The mother just keeps on coming up with things that she can't do. She has to be home at a certain time, can't go out ect. Anyone have any advice? Do you think that girl should listen or do what she wants to do?

I always hope that they didn't download my photos. In the past someone used to log on to my facebook and chat with people How do I deal with this if it happens again
