I've been dealing with family drama for 25 years! There has been things said about me behind my back that I've had to forget about because these ppl are my family, this happens ALL THE TIME. My family have stole from me and I've forgave them. I'm tired and no longer know what to do. I'm a Christian woman and I've forgiven them, but these things CONSTANTLY happen. I'm at a wits end and literally just want to move away to Houston get a new job and start a new life.

Is it ok for me to think that my friends don't need to stay in my life if they don't want to because I don't want to be pushy. I'm thinking about one of my friends in particular I told her that I want her to stay and she told me she's not going anywhere but I don't want to be pushy though

We were having some bears, and playing video games. I rarely drink. Had a couple wicked ales, and hardly finished the second one. He had quit a few and got drunk. Not black out drunk. Not running into walls drunk, but you could tell he was I intoxicated buy just listening to him talk. I looked, and sounded perfectly fine on the outside, but I knew I was buzzed. Anyway, he gets up, and says hes going to the bathroom. About 20 seconds later I hear him pulling out of the drive way. Not even thinking that I was drinking as well, i hoped into my truck, and drove down to the liquor store, and found him their with his shoes half on, and made him get into my car, and drove him home. So, am I a bad person for driving while intoxicated?

When I try to talk to him about it, he just laughs it off and says he likes pain. My other friends laugh too, and say that I'm overreacting, and keep telling me not to tell anyone. Would it be wrong for me to tell someone? Or would I be doing the right thing? If I were to tell a teacher, what would they do about it? I'm really worried about him, but at the same time, I'm scared to tell a teacher, because I have no idea what will happen to him. Help!

I am fourteen, young, I know. It's just everyone my age seems to have lots of friends. They all get invited to parties, have sleepovers, have fun days out shopping and some even have relationships!! I just feel so distant from the world, almost like I'm a dull - looking ghost and everyone around me is living a vibrant excitement - filled life. I absolutely love fashion and going to the gym, and those are the things I occupy my time with. I go to a dance club and I enjoy it but I still feel so lonely. People tell me that when I go to college after school I will find friends but I just don't know what to do right now! I get bullied all the time at school because of how much I stand out. I love experimenting with makeup, hairstyles and just everything! I can sing, dance and I can have a laugh too! There are so many good things about me but everyone still goes out of their way to pick out the bad things ( especially my acne, which is going because I'm taking accutane ). I just want to know what age you found REAL friends because I'm sick of people pretending, using me and then turning against me. I wish I could have fun like everyone else:( I want to go to parties, festivals, days out, sleepovers and I just want to spend some time with some real people, how do I make more true friends??

So I have a close friend of mine that I've known for 5 years now. I'm 20 he' 19. He has severe depression and social anxiety. He's not diagnosed but has all the warning signs of borderline personality disorder. He vents to me a lot and I have no problem listening to him. I'm patient and supportive of him. I invite him over all the time to so it gets him out of the house and he's occupied. He'll always says he wants to see me and make plans for us but when the time comes he'll blow me off. He either comes up with an excuse, ignores me, or will say he doesn't but feel like coming. He's came over before and he said it helps him. But now he's refusing but I always tell him that I'm always here for him and he's more than welcome to come over whenever he wants. But then it escalates to heated arguments and he blows it out of proportion and it's really unnecessary and he's very rude about it. It's to the point where I get frustrated and I feel like I need to sit in my room and cry because I get so mad. He claims im his only friend but he does that to me..I call him out for being disrespectful towards me and then he immediately starts apologizing and plays the "pity card." It's almost as if he's begging for sympathy. He complains that he's depressed all the time but refuses to get help. I feel likes taking advantage of me because I'm so nice to him. I really don't want to cut him out of my life. I care about him a lot and I just want what's best for him.

I introduced my friend and my cousin. My cousin used to answer my phone but decided to not answer my phone and text me call me back later but answers my friend's phone and has time to talk to her. What the hell is wrong with her? first of all, I didn't even want to go to the event that my cousin invited me in the first place. I wish she never invited me there but I have to go since I signed my name. What is going on here?

I seem to have found myself in a bit of a situation where people hate me or seriously dislike me. I was talking to a girl a couple of days ago and a "friend" who knew her, proceeded to send her a couple of texts in which he probably wanted to indicate that I'm a "bad egg" or something. When she told him that she likes me and doesn't care what he thinks, he blocked her. This isn't the first time something like this has happened (he's not the only one of my "friends" to be like that) and I don't know what I did ever wrong because I'm a very nice guy, always putting other's needs ahead of mine and then I get treatment like this. Can somebody please explain why, cause I can't quite put my finger on it and it sucks to be in this situation....

My sister has a friend who is my friend as well, well she gets offended by most things and is very sensitive so I feel like me and my sister have to walk around on egg shells with her. She becomes really petty especially when she fights with my sister and whines why my sister won't message her first to sort things out and why she has to always put in effort. Bare in mind we have done a lot for her, she's been through a lot but we have been there but she always says no one is there for me, I'm alone when she's upset. I normally have to sort out the fights and she blocks me after saying her part then weeks will go by and she's fine and reaches out. This is a constant circle and has a obsession with blocking us on social media when she's angry. How do me and my sister deal with this friend? She doesn't consider what we go through and our own problems. She's done it again now. We are all 21 years old

I'm 23, currently a student. I have a few close friends, and they're awesome, don't get me wrong. My only issue is: if they drink (which is rarely), they only wants to do it within our friend group. Me on the other hand, I'd like to go out and get to know people, and socialize with people I don t know. The people I've gotten to know at the university also rarely go out for a drink. I don't feel like I know someone well enough to just ask: hey can I join you this weekend? I live on my own, in a rented apartment. So I guess I could invite some people myself. Although I don't really have any people of the opposite sex I feel I could invite, which I assume would make it pretty lame? Also, I'm a dude

I plan to tell the birthday person 1-2 days before the surprise party, so her friends and family don't have time to plan another surprise. I'll tell them on social media so I can screenshot my message and show the party planners - to see how they react to the ruined surprise.

I'm a sophomore in college and one of my guy friends and I are going to share an on-campus apartment in the fall. I've been noticing that when he's drunk, he turns into an a**hole and he says offensive things (mainly offensive jokes, or he'll just mock you, but in a mean way). He's aware that he acts like that when he's drunk, but I feel like he isn't doing much to change that. Also, he can finish an entire bottle of Smirnoff in 2-3 days. I've tried talking to him about ways to cope with stuff that doesn't involve drinking, and he said that there's nothing wrong with him, and that he just likes to drink. So, I don't know if this is a red flag or not? We both literally have no where to stay in the fall, so that's why we're getting an on-campus apartment together. What should I do?

He misses me..... through text on more then on occasion?

It s kinda dumb. I m a sitter and I work for a young couple. idk they keep mentioning polygamy. idk how to explain it. The dad has also said to me three times, " when you find a boyfriend or girlfriend whatever you re into, that s fine." Like he wants to know my sexuality. Today the dad was like, "she (i) probably thinks we re crazy." I said. "I think all couples are weird." They told me to just be single. And the dad said I should try polygamy and just have sex instead of being committed. Then the mom was like, " that s what you use to do before you met me." I guess he use to do polygamy. Then the mom said to me, "text me later". And the dad was like, "sext me later?" and I was like, "no she said "text". and he was all like, "I bet you two send pictures to each other." I guess he meant nudes. And The mom s like, "Don t be weird." ad he s all like. "hows that weird?" idfk. like are they trying to hint something to me? do they want me to date them? i just need another person s thoughts on it.

Okay so at school there is this incredibly black kid who everyone hates. Me and my friends piss on him and his stuff often. We beat him up almost everyday. I was going unpopular for a while so i went to that kid and literally beat him up so badly that his tooth broke and bled and was taken to the hospital. Thankfully i but a bag on his head to he didn't know it was me but everyone who saw i knew it and how everyone loves me. I am getting dates and people are likiling me more for "Beating that N-word" However dispite all that i still dont get why everyone hates that kid so much. I mean he has just his gf and himself and when he is alone he is just either drinking or smoking i have never seen him hurt anyone so why does everyone hate him so much? I beat him and treat him badly only because everyone else does that and i dont wanna be left out but just for the fear of unpopularity i never asked ! WHY DOES EVERYONE HATE BLACK PEOPLE ???

I don't want to sit at home but I only have like 3 friends and one is sick and the others are a couple away for the weekend :/ it's also rainy

(if their oppisites in personality)?

I had a bestfriend, I've known her since we were 6 (we're 17, soon to be 18 now). She moved to England a few years ago, and I too moved to another country. We had very good contact for about 4 years, we would either facetime every night or send messages to each other if we were too busy. Up until around last year. I haven't heard from her for a while, but I just thought that she was busy with school and everything, it was understandable. But I sent her a message, she hasn't answered or seen it. When I tried sending her a message on fb I realized her profile was gone. I would try to send her messages every now and then, like on her birthday, or Christmas, but still, no anwer. I even sent a message to her mom, just to ask if she was ok, but she just viewed the message, but no answer there either. I tried talking to mutual friends of ours from primary school, they haven'y heard from her in years. I tried googling her, to find her number or any confirmation that she's at least alive, but nothing. fyi, it's not like we fought or anything, one day she just dissapeared. Any ideas what I can do, any UK number I can call? I really just want to know that she's ok.. I would really love to be able to talk to her again.

So, recently I've joined a new school and I was wondering why some people who has never even spoke to me hates me because they have no reason to hate me right? I was having a conversation about this with one of the few friends I've made and he said, it's because they think I'm lame and I have no class. Should I even de upset about this since I don't even know these people? I honestly don't know how to feel. Ps: I'm 15 and a girl

Okay so this probably sounds pathetic and stupid (well to me it does) I don't exactly go out often. My online friends say I should go to bars/clubs to meet people, make friends or dates. I'm gay so be like gay bars/clubs. But like isn't that like really pathetic or do people really do that? I have no friends on person exactly so it's why my online friends are telling me to do this, well most people tell me to do that actually but is that what people really do at bars/clubs? Let's be honest.

would you find it insulting or would you be complimented if someone said your looks was a 6.1 our of 10? Also, please say if you are a male or female that is answering. Will choose a best answer. Thanks

Wether it's ranting, expressing emotions, or even just existing, my friend keeps saying sorry for everything even though she hasn't done anything wrong. What do I do?

ik i already asked this but.. i really dont want her to.. so i was thinking of buying a securtiy cam and place it in the center of my room so that she doesnt invite people over and hang out in my big empty room. there is a bathroom and i dont want her to use it and use my room and bathroom for free because i paid the rent for my room. i was also thinking of putting trash like paper and water bottles around the room and bathroom so she wont be able to use it and stuff. i am also going to hang clothes i dont wear in my closet so she cant hang her clothes in there. i think this might be too much but its up to her, like if she listens to me and doesnt enter my room she wont know, but if she decides to then idk and ill check everyday to make sure she didnt go into my room i hate my roommate and she is the reason why im moving out so i dont want her to get any benefits from me moving out until the next roommate moves in in 2 months this is another stressful problem.. but just for 2 months

I really don't know what to do. I used to not bring my friends home, not call, and just not hang out a lot in general but recently I met new people and they are more free to go places so I hang out and call them a lot. Before my mom used to say things like "oh, you have no friends" and when I will get a call she'll be like "surprised you even had friends" my sisters would also join in and tease me. Now that I bring them home, talk on the phone etc all of a sudden the teasing changes. Now it's "stop talking on your phone." "I already gave you face in front of your friends, don't make it so I embarrass you in front of them," and etc. I feel like I'm never good enough. I get A's but my mom is like "your sisters are so much smarter than you." "I want to leave you property when I die but I'm afraid you can't afford the rent." I didn't know what to do so I talked a about how this made me felt and then I was told I had a glass heart, was to sensitive and that she never said some of the horrible things she did ("you are unlucky and should jump off a roof."). She thinks money can solve everything. She insulted my sisters friend and then turned around and gave my sister 200$. My sis was mad so she didn't accept and oh was my mom so confused why. I really don't know how to make her stop, I feel like she is singling me out, of all my sisters they all bring friends home a lot but I bring one home once and she freaks out.

Soooo my best friend today at school was planning with the other people in our group to go to the junior prom, the whole time they were talking about it in front of me and they didn't say anything to me and they never invited me to it. And it made me feel so unimportant and she does this a lot to me. She also always DM's me on Instagram and I always get back to her, but when I DM her, she takes hours to respond but she's posting pics with other people and liking and commenting on posts on insta. I don't know if I'm overreacting or not but it feels like I'm always there for her but she's never there for me. She never responds to me FaceTiming her but screenshots pics of her FaceTiming other people, it's just really draining

I'm stuck in a rut. It's like my life is stuck in repeat. I wake up every morning. I work all day long. Then I go home. I go to sleep. And then repeat. Every singe day. It gets old and the loneliness is crippling. I do everything alone. Go shopping, drive around, eat, do hobbies, and everything else alone. My weekends are extremely boring and I do nothing productive. I'm constantly reminded everyday by fact that my most recent relationship that ended badly about 4 months ago has affected my friendships and bonds with people I care about. I'm trying to move on and get back in the dating game. I had some dates a couple months back but never went anywhere. Maybe it's too soon for me? I've been trying all these dating apps for a while but I don't know it doesn't seem to work all too well for me. I'm just finding myself slowly not caring anymore. To top it all off lately I've gotten a speeding ticket, getting in conflicts with people, getting fed up with situations I'm put in at work, and I'm going through some bad self-esteem problems. I feel like I'm heading in a wrong path and I'm wasting my youth because I'm pretty much in my prime and it's all downhill from here. Any tips on how I could fight how my current life situation is going from who's been through any of these things would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hey guys I kind of need some help. About two years ago me and my best friend had a really big fight, and we stopped talking since then. it was a really big fight that she kicked me out of her life, but recently I've wanted to message her again. But I dont know how to begin the message!!!! can I have some advice????? Im 24 year old girl

I'm not in a relationship with this guy. But he and I had sex and I enjoyed it. I would like to do it again. Is there a chance that he might do it again?

The majority of my friends will make jokes about me, and that's fine; usually I'll laugh along with them. However, sometimes they go too far, and they don't stop even when they see that I've stopped laughing. For example, we were all watching a football game and somehow the topic of "pedophiles" came up. I have a picture of my niece as my lock screen on my phone, and my friends started making jokes about it and saying that I had child pornography on my phone (which I do not). I'm not trying to be a Debbie downer, but that joke was not funny and it kind of hurt my feelings, especially since I work around kids. What hurt more was that they didn't stop, even after I completely ignored them. Then, one of my friends (same one as above), always tells me to not joke about embarrassing things (about him) in front of other people, (which I would never do), however, he frequently jokes about my embarrassing moments in front of other people. I don't know what to do, because I consider these people good friends. It's just that sometimes they go too far with the jokes and it hurts my feelings. But, I am a sensitive person, so maybe this is my problem?
