I went out with this guy and we left our coats in the car when we went to the arcade. So when we were leaving out it was cold outside. I told him it was cold and he put his arm around me. I told him that I had fun with him and he said he did too. I'm not saying it means he likes me. I'm asking if it's a possibility.

I notice everywhere I live, everyone in their apartments keeps to themselves, no one ever tries to get to know their neighbors. I see some people and try to introduce myself to them and I always kinda get a cold shoulder. Men and women both. I'm just trying to be friendly, I mean even just a hey man whats up would be cool, but everyone is always like looking straight down and avoiding you. I'm not some scary black guy, I'm just a regular mid 20's nice guy who's professional and not creepy looking, just a regular guy. Funnily enough, the people who are nicest to me are black men, I'm not trying to sound racist or anything, it just seems like black men are very friendly to me and we talk about sports, etc etc, but other white guys just kinda cold shoulder me, not even a head nod

My friend is suffering a broken heart she said it really hurts I just sit with her let her cry on me for a while. I'm gay if I wasn't I'd go out with her but I have a boyfriend. I've been best friends with her for a long time she told me she needed some time to be alone I told her I'll be here if she needs me. What else can I do for her ?

Like I was in the hallway joking around with my friend (she prestended to take something from me) and a few people were walking in the hall nearby and chuckled/laughed. ???

Basically there's this girl that I used to be best friends with but we fell out like 9 months ago and we don't ever talk. I always hear that she's been talking about me behind my back. One time at lunch we had just had pe and we were both in the changing room. Everyone was already dressed and she started having a massive argument with her friends. Me and my friend thought it was really funny and then I hear someone mention my name so I started recording her in case she said something about me. She didn't say anything and I deleted it the next day. However i told someone who was involved in the argument that I had recorded it and she wasn't bothered but then she told another girl who was involved and they were really annoyed and told the girl that I used to be best friends with. She sent me loads of really horrible messages on sc saying I was really weird and what the f is wrong with me. I blocked her but all day today she's been trying to find this teacher who has tried to sort out her and my falling out and she's that teachers favourite. He's also like deputy head and has the power to suspend me. I've been stressing all day and she's litrally been telling loads of people in my classes about what a weirdo I am and I don't know what to do. Literally I am so stressed that I've lost 2lbs in the past day

So i'm in 10th grade and my friend hannah's in 8th, and so basically on the school bus going home, i made a fake textNow number and we did a prank that i texted her pretending to be a creepy pedophile saying "i'm going to take you home and do sexual stuff" and she would show everyone on the bus saying this is my stalker omg and she said "i go to (my school name) and if you want to come shoot up the school i'll give you my schedule" and then a bunch of kids freaked out and said they are telling their parents and hannah said "no don't my stalker is my friend i love him" and they all left the bus saying they are reporting to the school and stuff

I have been in a serious, committed, relationship for about a year now. My boyfriend and I were also good friends for almost 2 years before we got together. We are very happy and have a healthy relationship. Well, a friend of mine acts very strange about my relationship. My boyfriend is younger than me and she feels the need to point that out all the time. Makes fun of our age gap every time she gets the chance. Especially picks on him for his age. She picks on him for being a nerd. (Which is one thing I really love about him). It gets old. We don't care about our age gap. For one, I'm not even old enough to be his mother. We are aware we're different in age, we don't care. In fact, we're so comfortable we joke about it. Recently, and out of absolutely nowhere, she texts me pic of a guy I used to have a crush on and went on a couple dates with over a year ago. She literally screenshotted his recent Tinder selfie and sent it to me. Okay? Yeah, I know he has Tinder And? This guy and I went on two "dates" which weren't even that. We met up for drinks twice. I paid for myself the second time. We didn't even kiss. I liked him, but something didn't click between us. We remained friends on FB but went out separate ways and don't really talk. I don't even think about him anymore. And here I am in a committed relationship, happy and in love with my boyfriend, and she sends me this other guy's Tinder selfie out of the blue. Why do you think she did this?

someone has been sending pepperoni pizzas and drinks to my house all night from different restaurants and I'm supposed to pay for it. At first I thought it was some type of joke from my friends but it wasn't and it's been happening all night. I'm very scared since only my closest friends and family know my address. Thinking of getting police involved....? What should I do

Increasingly, I find them vulgar with no sense of refinement. A number of times I've felt 'let down' by them. Recently, I invited one friend to visit my house for dinner with my family – dinner is something we never did together in 20 year unless you count pizza! – but he behaved like an animal, didn't know how to hold a knife and fork, used bad language, and was generally boorish by helping himself to all food without taking a moment to consider anyone else. My other friend is a little better but increasingly I feel a bit embarrassed by his casual language and his poor sense of dress/personal hygiene. Last year I introduced him to someone and his clothes look so shabby and he smelled bad too – which I told him later to address (he didn't). This guy is smart but also very closed minded and has a dumb attitude especially to new experiences which he always knocks down: learn a language? ('Everyone speaks English, why bother?') Take up a musical instrument? ('Just listen to a CD; it will always sound better'). I know I've had a more privileged upbringing and it didn't really bother me before - but now I'm older, the above is undermining how I feel. Can our relationship survive?

I have been thinking to treat my friends like I do my family and so I was talking to my uncle last night and he said for me to treat my friends better then family because some families are not good with each other so how do I do that? I am already a caring person to my friends and I try to talk to them quite a bit and be there for them even though I have had problems with friendships and people not tearing me right in the past and I also overthink having friends too

I am a guy but would like to find a woman that would let me dress as a woman and let me live with her as her "female roommate"

I had my birthday like 5 months ago, and people at my school know I get embarrassed and blush really easily, I'm shy. So all that day MOST people (some people genuinely said it and I thanked them) repetitively said "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" just to continuously see my reaction. That continued the following day, I kind of got a little bit more annoyed. It's been 5 months and people are still telling me HAPPY BIRTHDAY including my friend, but not as frequently as before. But this is really annoying, my birthday was definitely the worst day of my entire life because of this. Why are people ding this to me? Help?

I do my best to be supportive but the fact that my life is getting better while theirs is getting worse is making them not want to be around me. I wish I could help

My friend fell asleep on a call with me and I need to wake her up so she can turn off everything in her house. Her call volume is low and she won t receive and notifications from my texts. Is there anyway to wake her up without shouting as it is night time and I don t want to wake the neighbours.

I've never had friends in my entire life, only acquaintances.

i let a friend store things in my closet bags of clothing and books. now someone told me that becauce they have stuff here they could say they live here an try to force their way into my apartment call the police an say im keeping them out of their apartment. They dont have a key, dont sleep here ever but found themselves in a spot where they had to leave their current place. I have text between me an the friend that she needed a place to store her things for 3 days till she could get someone to pick it up or id be thrown out becauce i dont have the room. Should i worry that someone could force their way in for helping them store stuff. I figured i could help someone out without having any risk besides a pissed off friend if it gets thrown away past the deadline we agreed on

There's a set of identical twins at my school, we'll say they're called Casey and Rowan. I like Casey. Casey is nice, and we're friends. This is primarily because of how often we both get bullied and stand up for each other all the time, so I have a good platonic connection to Casey. Rowan never gets bullied, so we don't stand up for each other and therefore there isn't that same connection. I like Rowan, but I wouldn't say we're actually FRIENDS, like I am with Casey. The both of them always talk about how they love each other no matter what, but because Casey gets bullied all the time by some of Rowan's friends, they all talk about how Rowan is "the nice/cool/best one", and all that time I just tell them: "No. They are both humans with equal value, and that's a family bond. You can't just compare them like that." I say that to stand up for Casey, but then I feel like a hypocrite, just because I say Casey is my friend but Rowan isn't, only because of that connection built. I'm sure that if I bonded with Rowan enough, I'd eventually consider the two of US friends, but for now... I just feel bad, because it's like I'm playing favorites. But at the same time, I don't??? All because I have a good connection, and that's just the way it is. The bullies just straight-up bash on Casey for no reason. Is it bad I like Casey more because of that, even if I'm open to connecting that same way with Rowan? Or am I just overthinking all of this?

People could be taping what you are saying. People could be taking advantage of you. There's less accountability, in a way, than face-to-face support groups. Thoughts?

I don't trust people and I feel some people have ulterior motives: I don't have many friends because of this I can be easily offended sometimes; mainly from people who are not my friends or close to me I'm very shy with people I don't know I can be confrontational but over the years i've learned how to be more positive with this approach. As I child I was shy and didn't have many friends but never confrontational, and I didn't care what people thought of me either but now as an adult I've noticed a lot of things have changed; with some changes I view as very negative. Any advice? thanks

I was very close to her, but then she started using me as her personal verbal punching bag whenever she was in a bad mood. She'd usually apologize afterwards, half-heartedly. She never ever really considered how her constantly telling me that she hated me and that none of my problems mattered and that I make her feel like **** affected me. I guess she just assumed that saying "sorry" after all those times just made it okay. I cut her off bc I thought she was abusive. She blew at me in front of my friends and they didn't say anything. They're still friends with her and with me. They treat it as though nothing happened, but just stopped inviting us to things, which really messed up my friendship with all my friends. (bc they don't want to deal with having to decide between us). I never said anything to hurt her, but everything she said to me was intentional to cut me as deep as possible. It's been 3ish months but since we have the same friends / college classes I have to deal with it every single day, and I think about it every single day. She doesn't even know why I was so upset with her, she completely cut me off when i dropped a lab i previously (6 months prior) agreed to partner with her in. My reason was because she had been so detrimental to my mental health. I tried to tell her why I was so upset but she just started rapid firing all the reasons that I'm a horrible person and why she hates me. Please, I feel so awful and its not getting any better.

We are in different timezones and noone has any idea how to point it out without seeming mean or like were targetting them and help?

We used to be very close, I told her a lot of personal stuff about me and vented to her a lot. She started getting more judgmental and would take personal subjects I told her about and use them against me in front of my friends because she "thinks its funny when i get upset." I talked with her about this afterwards and she justified it by saying "I cope with stuff by joking about it, if you re my friend you just have to deal with that." She went off her antidepressants and snapped at me while I was with her in her car. She tried to say she felt physically threatened by me (Even though I was tearing up and talking very quietly while she was angrily screaming at me). Later I texted her and said that what happened wasnt okay, which only made it worse. To sum it up she told me "I just feel like such **** when it comes to you" "I guess that s just what you re for huh, just not caring n ****" and "I don t want anything to do with you" She gave a half-assed apology afterwards, and didn t consider how it affected me. and she just acted like it never happened. Later she blew up at me in a textchat with all our friends. They didn t say anything and just started avoiding both of us. Even though it was a one-sided attack, they don t care. They act like nothing happened and still talk to her all the time, even though I ve told them all the horrible things she s said to me, and they agree they were horrible. I feel awful that nobody cares about how emotionally abusive she was to me.

The on my parents like is about my friend, but i don't know if i should present it. The second they say will get me sent to therapy. It's supposed to be sad. Which one should I do? The poems are on the response to my question.

Alright, this may sound stupid and all, but I have no idea how to get new friends. I've joined 2 sports, but I'm just too shy to engage in any conversations, especially with the popular people. Also, I have no clue on how to ask somehow if I can hangout with their friend group. I'm just too shy. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I've started noticing a pattern at school, every guy in my class refuses to sit next to me. Example: Today seats were assigned and the guys I were assigned to acted annoyed and grossed out. This happened FOUR TIMES TODAY WITH DIFFRENT GUYS. They all moved themselves as far as they could and asked if they could move seats and it honestly made me feel a little self conscious. Idk if I'm creeping them put somehow or just make them uncomfortable. Just wondering if this has happened to anyone else and how you dealed with it.
