So, I have a guy friend, we're just friends nothing more. And since we've known each other for quite a bit now he asked if we could hang out and watch the Star Wars prequels, you know just for laughs. I told him I couldn't this week because I'm busy, but I was planning on next week doing that with him. My parents are very Religious and conservative people, and I know they won't let me go over to some guy's house that they've never met. I still want to hang out with him though. What can I tell my parents? I was thinking he and I could meet at the library or some other public place, I live in a small, like very small town though so there's not many other options. Any help is appreciated.

I purchased her an expensive jewelry gift from a website similar to Ebay. I told her that I bought it at the original store when I gave her the item around 4 months ago for her birthday. Fast forward to today, she is trying to get her item repaired at the store, but the store is giving complimentary service for those who have the proof of purchase. If not, they are charging $50. I told her that I didn't have the receipt nor the card anymore, but now she's asking if I remember the date of purchase. How do I convince her that I don't?

i really want to post art and writing on my twitter but my irl friend follows my account with their accounts and i really dont want them to see it. should i block them and hope they don't bring it up? or should i just post the stuff and just not listen if they make fun of it or get weird about it? or should i just not post the art at all? adding on, i should mention that they would DEFINITELY notice if i blocked, and they would probably bring it up irl

I don't talk to my parents as often as I used to because every time I talk to them, they ask me about what's going on in my life (because they think someone's threatening me or something, even though I've told them nothing is wrong), get mad when I tell them that nothing harmful is happening to me, force me to stay in the room until I've told them something that they can say "I knew it" to, then get mad when I confront them about this. (They also get really mad when I talk about mental illness, politics, and religion, which I also used to talk to them about until I realized it only gets them angry, which is another reason I don't really talk to them anymore.) I'm sorry if this question is difficult to understand.

I'm a kind, honest, funny, caring, and giving person and yet, I find it hard to get my "friends" to hang out with me. I don't ask for much, just a day filled with giggling and silly ketchup fights, or whatever condiment is around. I always get the excuse of "I have to work early tomorrow", "I'm broke","I told my cat I'd clean the litter box". Stupid stuff. What am I doing wrong? ***No bullying please***

I just moved into eighth grade and it's hasnt been doing to well. I feel left out and feel that the 3 people I sit with don't like me. I just miss my old school so much and I haven't made more than 5 good friends

My crush's friends been coming to my work, they know I like him, they know what I look like and they know where I work. Sometimes they go through my line (I am a checker) at work, they have a smile on their face, they smile at me, they indicated they wanted to talk to me, recently one of them came into my work, not sure if they bought anything. They were walking around while I'm working. I didn't see if they bought anything cause I was in the bathroom. Why would his friends spying on me?

esterday, I was leaving my school parking lot and as I was driving away, I let a person get in front of me as they were trying to get out of the lot. There was another person behind them but I just kept driving and didn't let them go. I usually do this when I drive because I feel like if I let another person go, a whole line of people are going to try and cut in front of me. But the thing is that the person I didn't let in was someone I have a huge crush on and there weren't any more cars behind him... which I didn't realize at the time. So we drove along the same path and he was behind me for a whole ten minutes... and I didn't acknowledge or wave at him because I felt really awkward and guilty. Am I a total *** for doing this?

I'm really lonely… my family is just a wreck! My brothers treat me like crap for example one of my brothers is a whiny snot who thinks he is just better then everyone else, I talked to my brothers about this I thought we were getting closer as a family but I overheard them talking to each other about how I am a whiny brat who is just useless, I felt hurt but mostly betrayed and they still act like everything is okay like they never called me those things. My friends left me… I try to contact them to maybe seek help but they ignore me the other day I was going to get my friend something she really liked but my mom told me why would you get something for a friend who doesn't even talk to you… then again I felt betrayed by the people I care about. My mom and Dad are always fighting my mom told me they might get a divorce I don't know what to do I just feel so so lonely

Me and my boss are close. He favors me a lot.... So me and my boss' son are planning to go to LA this August. There is a event that is there and we have been dying to go previous years..But life didn't work out. So we decided that we should both go together this year. Since we had no one to go with... Also we are six years apart. We are planning to stay there for about six days. What will he think?? Will my boss think we have a thingy? Even though we are just friends??

My ex has turned into one of my best friends after a couple years after a mutual but heated break up. we have been friends for a couple years and hang out on a regular basis, we both still kind of care about each other but have agreed a relationship would be a bad idea as it would turn into a house fire that would kill us both. As friends we have been getting along great, hanging out all the time, helping each other out. spending time together when it suits both of us and just doing our own thing when we don't jive on something. we don't live together, we live 2 neighborhoods apart. Well just recently she kind of flew off the handle for something that was totally irrational even though she would never admit it. So a Saturday we planned on returning a couple batteries (one from my car I replaced) and then getting her dead lawnmower battery changed. eating out and then coming to my house and watching tv while we had the mobile detail guy come out to clean our cars. at any rate I talked to her on the phone before she came, she said she was starving and asked if I was hungry and I said not really but ill go with you anyway, I wasn't really going to be hungry until all the errands were taken care of but was willing to just accommodate her since I knew she was so hungry she couldn't wait and it needed to be the first thing on the list. So anyways she sounded a little aggravated on the phone but I told her to just come over and I wouldn't eat much but will go. more space need see my comment below for the rest of the story 1 She then called and said she was by arbys and was just going to eat and it would be a bit longer before the came. I was like ok. She came over, looked mad and I asked what was wrong she said she had a headache, I told her I was sorry that I wasn't hungry and would have eaten more had we waited but didn't want her to be hungry so id go first thing with her anyway. 2 so then she just got a nasty look and said I don't want to argue about this (I was completely nice and calm) she claimed we always did what I wanted to do, totally untrue, we did things that we both wanted to do when they coincided with each other. nastily said I CAN JUST GO HOME 3 right after she sat her purse down, I was mad at that point and I said that's your choice, she stormed off, I sent her a message later saying thanks for being an a hole to me, I got a response claiming I was the a hole, not true, however I just laughed it off and messaged her and said were just both stubborn as heck and we can stay mad or just forget it and id rather forget it. 4 she has seemed a little off even several days later, I literally did absolutely nothing to her and was going to accommodate her in anyway she needed. eating when I wasn't really hungry, repair her lawnmower, I don't know what the heck went wrong $%^&%? I got my head chewed off for no reason after like a year of being buddies like basically best friends that could vent to each other about our jobs and such. women out there, what in the world happened? maybe you can explain this to me

The narcissistic friend not my friend anymore said he want to be my roommate and think I'm his best friend. But he never pay me back. The narcissistic guy who gets mad easily and doesn't have a job and live on disability welfare and he can't control he anger and wants attention and he called every single guys ugly only find himself attractive and he think he the smartest student in school and he always skip school and he doesn't go to college or have a job he living with he parents sitting at home on disability welfare and he have angered management to deal with he also make fun of the shy guy because his Asian and he always judge people about how ugly the guy can get a girlfriend and he think he dress the best . Also he said he got sponsor in a sport to pay he fee and he said he was going to travel to Germany for a sport to live there for a year and he lied he doesn't show me the plane ticket and he said that Germany got a wildfire as a excuse everyone search online there was no wildfire. And last thing he did was he stole my friends money and other friend witness it and the narcissistic friend make an excuse saying he have mental disability see things that is not real as an excuse so he can get away with the money. I doubt that he will pay the rent. He also say that he drives a motorcycle but he doesn't show everyone how to drive it and show he licence. He always call me and my friend immature and tell us to grow up.

Hard and can't read people mind about what they are thinking. In some situation they say yes when I asking for it because they willing and want to say yes. Other is they say yes because of politics reason and afraid to be looks bad and hurt themselves when say no so they say yes to save their neck. Should I worry the reason they say yes or just be happy they say yes?

Certainly i would not. I ask cause my coworkers try to make me feel bad when i told them that i dont consider them to be friends and they said i should consider them to be. Even my supervisors tell me i should. Thing is i dont reason being that they have always been real rude to me. always try to get me in trouble when i mess up. But have each others back when they mess up. Recently a coworker found out through a friend that i been engaged and the whole gossip spread around and eversince they been asking for photos for me to show them the ring i got my fiance and pics of the wedding, but i been refusing reason that i dont consider them to be my friends. I mean they talk behind my back, they try to get me in trouble, they are rude and have been already for a year eversince i started working with them. Why should I? The only reason they want photos is to proof that i am. Like as if they think i couldnt and need proof that its true. Now not all are like this, some are real cool with me but even then i still consider them to be coworkers and thats it, i dont even share any personal info. My question is? Why do they behave like this? Am i wrong to not consider them not to be my friends and share personal info about my life and engagement, do i have too? I personally dont want for the reason that they are not my friends. But also since its work, i rather keep my personal life away from work and keep it professional.

I've tried letting a friendship fade by not initiating any contact, even waiting a few days to respond to their texts. But they just don't seem to get the point. They're always wanting to know when we can video chat next (we live in different states). I feel guilty ending the friendship, as this person hasn't done anything wrong. I just don't feel like we have a connection or anything much in common anymore. I don't want to be rude or hurt their feelings, but also I just don't have the time or energy to give. Thanks for any advice!

Is it ok to tell a guy you want to date him but don't want a relationship?

I'm a content creator on the internet and i recently made a few new friends that are pretty popular compared to myself and i really really love their content and all. Anyways, theyve invited me to do some pretty exciting projects with them recently, and i accepted without hesitation, but ever since then ive noticed myself getting less patient with the friends i already had before i met these new folks. I just woke up from a nightmare about trying to meet up with one of my new friends and, in the process, getting in a fight with one of my non-content creator friends for holding me up and wasting my time. It was a pretty upsetting experience, because i really love my current pals just as much as my new ones. Along with that, i believe i experienced this nightmare because i valued my new friends' opinion of me so much and i didnt want to be late or disappoint them, even at the expense of my other friends' emotional well being. I dont wanna become a jerk or let any of this go to my head, and maybe it seems silly but im genuinely thinking that like... maybe i'm going to screw things up and hurt someone. I can honestly feel myself getting frustrated when too many people ask for my time, but I really honestly wanna make everyone happy... I've had to put a lot of creative endeavors on the back burner to ensure i had enough time for people, and its starting to breed some internal resentment... it makes me worried about how the future will go.

A few weeks back I had to cut ties with a friend who was bullying me. I ignored her messages and she showed up at my social group a week later. She was glaring at me as if she wanted to kill me that night then she made an indirect comment about friends who stab other friends in the back. Then the next day she sent me a sweet text message and I felt guilty so I let her back into my life Since then, I feel like she has tried to turn me against the group and isolated me away from them. I was getting on very well with the group and felt that one of the guys had an attraction to me. I messaged the group asking if we could all put together a gift for someone's birthday. She never replied but everyone else on the group did. Then, she showed up that day with an even bigger gift, as if she tried to outstage me. Then on the day of the birthday I got all dressed up and she saw me and said 'you look like a princess, you always have lots of nice dresses' and she kept trying to take photos of me. The entire day she would try and take photos of me on my own, and photos of everyone else in the group together. I had a photo with her and she said sarcastically 'you always look so nice in photos you make me look like garbage stood next to you.' Then when I was stood with everyone else, she invited the guy who I like (and I think is attracted to me) to her house for champagne in front of my face. I got so embarrassed I made an excuse and left. What is her problem with me?

I'm 19 yo virgin boy and I never had girlfriend. It has made me really depressed and I feel I'm missing a lot. I'm socially very awkward and have bunch of other insecurities. How do I beat these and what makes girl attracted to a guy?

So after a friend breakup I have had several dreams about my ex friend, when I speak with people about it for example today in a conversation I was saying how I miss the place that my ex friend owns. And the person I was speaking with stated "who knows maybe in the future you can come back" I also have had people state to me give it time. What can it mean or should I just struggle it off. (From an anonymous person)

She is 43 years old and thinks she is a queen. She always causing drama and interferes in her friends relationships. She tried to cause problems between me and boyfriend. she got mad at me for because I wouldn't cosign so she get a new car She cries when someone blocks her Facebook and stalkeds her ex boyfriends. She blames others for her weight problem. We live the same neighbourhood and last Saturday she was yelling at some kids for playing outside in their own yard and refused to leave the yard so the kid's smother sprayed her with a water hose and she started to cried. She keyed our neighbor's car for spraying her with the water hose. Our neighbor's caught her keying their car and called the law to her.

does any one ever wanna just drive alone for awhile playing music and just driving. All by your self.? I had a bad day and I just need to drive around for a bit. It's like therapeutic to me. My roommate and his girlfriend are sitting in living room. Near entrance How do I leave without them knowing or a good excuse to go out. Everytime I wanna drive. I tell them. But they think I'm going to bang someone and it sparks a week long interrogation between my friends and I. Even though I tell them I'm just driving. It is all so stupid lol but it gets me so irritated having to explain myself over and over just for it to be interpreted as me lying. So how do I get outta the house lol

It has been 12 years we have been friends yet I notice the same patterns. I don't know if its because of her lack of social skills or if I just don't matter much to her. She always makes plans with other friends in front of me or generally notice them more, be more "public" about those friendships. I am a bit more reserved than she is but I don't know how to contribute to a friend group if they are only talking about memories/people only they know or something I can't relate to (like always talking about their hookups with dudes and insulting "gay" things when...i'm not straight). I don't know what to do. I can't sustain this BS much longer but idk whether it's time to cut her off without letting her know what happened, tell her I've moved on, or at least voice these concerns to her because I haven't previously.

A couple different friends I have will only reply to texts if I'm coming to them with a problem/venting. If I randomly ask to hang out one weekend, they either don't respond or say they already have plans. We're in our 20's and we're all busy, I get it, but instead of being understanding I'm feeling annoyed.

So sit down bc this is a long one. So me and these two girls hang out as a group of three. Bethany and Sarah. So they have known each other long than they have known me. And I've known Bethany longer than I've known Sarah. So one day I was with Bethany and she tried to make Sarah mad at me by telling her I was flirting with he ex which was a lie. So I didn't talk to her for the rest of the day, instead of getting into a fight. It made me mad bc that day Sarah had bought me a bunch of gifts and then she got her mad at me, however we made up. A little background about Beth, she gets mad when her friends talk to each-other and fear people will leave her. She says mean stuff to me all the time and is always being petty. SO we were all in a group chat with some other girls, who were Beths friends, and one day she left the group chat. As soon as she left, Sarah IMMEDIATLY was like, whatever let her leave. And started trash talking her and talking about how we should hang without her. Then she texted me and was trash talking her and told me some stuff she said about me behind my back ( she doesn't care what I think) . Sarah claims she took up for me but idk. SO then we hung out with the friends without her even though they wee all talking about how she hates when her friend s hang without her. The whole time Sarah was talking about her like she hated her. And when her friends took up for her she told them what she said about them behind he back. Im not gonna act like im innocent i said some stuff to, BUT then Sarah hung out with Bethany without me THE NEXT DAY, which was weird bc she talked mad trash about her the day before. We also have never hung out separately, that was the first time. So i was like wow she really invited her and not me and i wasn't the one talking the most trash about her, which made me wonder if Sarah said anything to her bc suddenly, Bethany seemed to know what people said about her behind her back. So i ignored her at school and then they kept hanging without me so i eventually said i didnt want to be a group anymore and i instead wanted to be friends separately, they got really mad bc they thought was trying to replace them, and Bethany would get mad when i talked to anybody else and leave me. They both yelled at me at lunch and stuff and me and Beth were planning to hang out together, but now she is hanging out with Sarah instead. Idk what ti do bc i feel like Sarah may be manipulating things bc of how she likes to get people on her side all of the time. She is good at making friends and i feel like she may have been trying to turn us against each other so all the attention can be on her bc she loves attention. At the same time i cant say that she is a bad friend bc she has always been hee for me when i needed her. Im sorry this is so long but please give me any advice u can. Odly enough, ever since i started cutting them out, ive been happier and focusing on me.

That's not realistic though is it?

So one of my best friends told me and some other friends that she was at the hospital because she tried to commit suicide. We were all confused, since she was only in the hospital for like 3 hours. My parents called her parents about it and said that this did not happen. Do we have the right to be mad at her for lying and making us worried about her? she also tries to make us feel bad by saying "oh well i did it because you guys leave me out alot" but we always invite her to things and talk to her

I drove to their house a few times and we went out to dinner. but they never invited me in before or after the restaurant, after an hour drive! Yet they are always talking about having people over their house, they told me they are having an out of state relative staying with them for a few weeks, but they never invite me over, except when they first moved here to show off their house. When they used to stay in this area with relatives before they moved here, I always invited them to my home, whether we ate here or out. I haven't said anything to them, but I'm tired of going to their area, eating out, and not getting invited in.

Anyways, I am the only person who can see my friends, which I know is weird. And people have been telling me to see a shrink. Well, lately, things haven't been going so good. They've all turned on me, and they have started making fun of me. They used to be my friends, but now all they do is harass me. I don't know what to do about this :( They used to be my friends
