I left public school at a young age due to bullying about my weight and appearance. I ended up moving states for college. I lost weight and built a life for myself AWAY from my unfortunate hometown. I visit family every now and then and the people who made my life A LIVING HELL are acting like nothing happened when I run into them. Like hugging me and smiling. Why?!?

I know this girl and I have a big crush on her, but she has a boyfriend. me and her are friends but a couple of nights ago, me and her were talking. she told me that she has been dating him for 8 months and they live together. She has told him many times that she loves him, but he never says it back. he always says he's not ready or he makes a different excuse.. her boyfriend is trying to get a job outside of town to be a police officer, so he has been applying to different towns. Buut she doesn't know if she's going to leave with him and live in another town..... he never tells her that they are going to go together, she kind of feels like he's planning this whole thing by himself. she's even looking for apartments on the side in case he gets a job out of town and he moves without her. apparently he says he doesn't think that far ahead in his life, she told me that apparently he does care for her and he has always been there for her.... but is this relationship even going anywhere????????

My name is Josh, ans Ive liked this girl for a couple of months. she was really beautiful and we met at work, we became good friends and we went out but nothing ever happened. eventually she told me she only saw me as a friend, she has a 4 year old son, so she told me that I'm not a father figure for her kid because apparently I'm too immaturr. but now recently she got into a relationship with this guy who doesn't have a job, he doesn't drive, he smokes weed every single day and dresses like a bum. she fell in love with him and she's posting pictures all over Facebook of her boyfriend. IT kind of makes me feel like a big loser or something. How does a girl like that, fall in love with a guy like him???????

I'm a 18 year old guy with a supposed best friend.I'm not a very social guy and this girl told me her intuition told her to speak to me in the beginning of this school year. We connected really fast I still don't understand how and i think thats possibly why we have so many problems. Then she tells me how I'm her best friend and how I'm the only one ahe imvested so much effort I'm trying to stay friends with me. That's the main problem right there. I don't see how she is trying to achieve that. She recognizes the problem I have with what she does to me but does not acknowledge it. She has too many friends and I know not alot of them or like them. We had a senior luncheon yesterday and she sat at a table with them and I was at a table by myself literally. Then near the end when they are gone she comes to the table asking why I didn't sit with her when she knows why. She has left me alone so many times for other people. I come to talk to her about it through text and i get no response.

Is it ok for someone to be all about their friends and not about their family? Even if their family loves them?

Me and my friend babysit these three kids. One's 12, the other's 8, and the other one is 5. The 5-year-old is an angel and such a sweetheart, and the 8-year-old isn't super bad, but the 12-year-old can be so mean. And usually not to me but to my friend. She's always targeting her. Like when she plays pool with them she'll say things like "oh that's just luck" or "you're such a failure". And maybe she's just teasing her, but there's a point where you take it too far. And my friend has a short temper so if you're being a jerk, she'll get angry. It's fine if I tease her and call her a shorty, because I'm a close friend of hers and she knows I love her, so she won't get mad at me or feel hurt by it. But it's not okay if these kids say that to her. She's going to get mad. And when she gets mad, I'll just walk away with her and we'll just sit down until she cools down a bit. Sometimes she'll put her head on my shoulder or I'll play with her hair or she'll hold my hand because it helps her calm down. She's a super affectionate person. But the kids (the 12 and 8) will make fun of it. They'll be like "you two are so gross", or "PDA!" or, "are you guys lesbians or something?". Which both of us are lesbians and we dated in the past, so it's really offensive. We're taking time out of our day to take care of them while their mom is away. Yet they are so incredibly rude and mean to us.

I could have had a ton of friends they are still friendly to me but I just do not feel comfortable around people my age. I can talk to older people but people my age just make me so shy around them. I have been like that all through school had very few friends. I wanted to be friends with the other people my age that liked me but it's just I get so timid around people my age. Well I have been graduated from school but miss old friends and I don't feel the need to have a facebook or instagram or twitter to keep in touch with them.

Those stupid questions are for online friends not me

Married over 30 years. After years of talking me down in front of grand kids. Laughing with other steps about my health ( my son was there and told me). Grands now are rude to me, her friends awful. But she wants to be all hugging. She has destroyed our blended family (twice) from miss communication. I have tried to just keep on, for the sake of the grand kids. None of the grands have said happy birthday (I turned 60). None give anything (I got 2 hand made presents from one 8years ago). We (I with my bonus) have always given to everyone equally. I blame the parents.

I work in a department of a large company. There are 14 other women in my department. Our boss is a 28 year old single guy who is the best boss ever. We really like him and consider him a good friend. We have a weekly staff meeting and at the end of the meeting he always says "Does anyone have any questions or comments". One of us ask him "If I get a b00b job, will it improve my chances of finding a guy that will marry me". We all had a good laugh at that. Our boss said "I can not say anything about your b00b size". "I can say you are a beautiful woman just as you are". Someone else said "Is it a qualification to be beautiful for you to hire us"? He said it sure looks like that doesn't it? We were still laughing about that in the employee break room when people form other departments said that was sexual harassment. Do you think it was? If it was we want more of it.

Let me explain. Everyone treats me differently than they treat others. This means people at school, work or anywhere else. They don't really treat me better or worse, just differently. For example I find a everyone can joke around with other people, but are serious and don't joke with me. People can jokingly insult others, but never joke with me. People from work are often going out all together and they all hang out outside of work, but not me. They never have invited me or anything. Even people from school have party's and invite majority of the grade- even my friends, but not me. It just makes me feel like an outcast. Why do people treat me like this? What is wrong with me? What do I need to change?

This girl has been working at the job for 5 months now and she is so pretty i want her so bad. I got her number only because i was trying to get a book from her but i never text her after that its been 5 months. I see her at work like 3 days a week, then 2 days a week, and now i only see her 1 day a week. And im nervous that eventually i wont see her at all and i will lose my chance. And another problem is that when i do see her the only thing i can talk to her about is SCHOOL. and i wont to talk to her about something else but i just dont know what to say. Today i was walking and she said "hi mike, you can't say hi?" And then i made up some excuse that i didn't see her all day. It sucks because i want to say hi to her but im always afraid i just think she is so pretty and it makes me nervous and im a shy guy. Next week i was thinking of saying "we should hang out over the spring/summer" Would that be good or not? And what do i talk about other than SCHOOL!?

I am a (21F) After my friend (21F) constantly lied to me, air in others talking behind my back, hid secrets involving other people badmouthing me behind my back and manipulating me, I decided to call it off. Not to mention I always have to reply to this girl right away 24/7 and if I am talking to anyone else she gets upset and throw a fit. Being friends with her I am always bound to get myself in danger because of the people she interact with. So I decided to call it quits. I had told her numerous of times that I do not like her lieing and manipulating me, but it feels as if she will never change. So I was really tired of wasting my breath on someone who doesn't listen. However not replying to her texts and basically "going ghost" resulted in her calling and texting non-stop on every social media, sending "cry-face" emojiis and claiming she cannot go on without our friendship. I am starting to feel like the bad guy, and is tempted to respond, what must I do?

My neighbor who lives next door to.me keeps on harassing me every single time I come home from going anywhere. He lives in his car and hes always outside so I cant really avoid him but he is just always insulting me and calling me foul names for no reason at all. Me and him used to be friends but he had a bad drug problem so I stopped talking to him because hes very unpredictable. What should I do? Should I call the police if he keeps doing this?

Me and my friend have been super close since 7th grade and we're in 9th now. Recently we've been talking less and less and now we don't talk at all. If I try to start a conversation with her she'll say, "What???" in a rude way. Also, the other day the people at my lunch table were lifting up the side of the table and I almost fell off so I told them to stop and she told me to stop, and today I was pouring my soda out because I didn't want the rest and she yelled at me to stop again. Also, I've never done ANYTHING to make her act like this. She just acts like I don't exist anymore and I'm getting more and more afraid to start a conversation with her because she'll just say "What???" like I'm bothering her or something. But in the beginning of 9th grade we got into a fight for the same reason, and she told me that she never talked to me because I didn't talk to her which is NOT true. And during that same fight she said that I need to "change." Whatever the f*ck that means.

I have this best friend from high school. She s one of the type of friends I would have never imagined being out of my life, but sadly she is. I haven t spoken to her in about 9 years. We had a falling out over something pretty stupid. I think it had more to do with me wanting to hangout with her over the summer, but she was busy. So I made a big deal about it and said a few hurtful things. I apologized later and she had said she would forgive me if I hung out with her during lunch, but I didn t. I ended up hanging out with this dude I was dating. I look back and kick myself for not hanging out with her. I would ve ditched that dude any day if it would ve saved my friendship with her. It s years later and I have a family now. I have no friends other than this terrible fair weather friend who disrespects me in front of my children. It s hard to let that friendship go because I have no one else. I know my high school friend would ve been there for me through thick and thin had I kept her in my life long enough. But is it too late? It s been so many years....I ve tried to reach out but she had me blocked, so I waited. She unblocked me a few years back but I couldn t muster up the courage to apologize and how how she s doing.

Me and her both dont drive and are tight on money. We live in South Jersey. My (so-called) fiance on a daily basis keeps bringing his friends over or going out to see them and he never spends time with me. I try to see my family but its strained so, why not, hang with a friend since he does it to me everyday.

I'm a man in my early 20's. I started a new job a few years ago. I became friends with a co worker, a married woman in 40's. We started chatting, busting chops, and talking about things like music. We have a lot in common. We would always wave also. We developed almost a "mom/son" thing. She refers to me as "my boy". Recently, I added her on social media. I found out she loves to play cards. I love to play cards! I don't know many others who do. I usually have to beg my family to play with me. I expressed that I love cards and she invited me to play next week. I accepted, and told her I'm excited to see her outside of work. I told my folks I'm going to see a friend next week and they asked me who. I can tell they find this strange. I think maybe it's because she's my parents age. So do you honestly find it odd? She does by the way have kids of her own if that matters. And I did briefly date her daughter (who secretly kinda broke my heart). She got a boyfriend now too. Kinda would be awkward to run into her but I mean... I'm friends with her mom. How to handle that? I'm thinking just be casual. We prob would never date again. It didn't work out. Any serious advice is appreciated.

I cant help but feel hurt. My best friend or who I thought was my best friend has been blowing me off. He met this guy 4 months ago and since then hasnt been good about going to his classes and is blowing me off as of late. My Grammy died earlier this week. I texted him to tell him she passed and all I got was a "Aww I'm so sorry sweety". Its been four days since shes passed. I havent gotten a single text and he hasnt returned my calls. I got the hint and havent reached out to him. Hes been blowing up his Facebook about all the things hes doing with his fiance. So of course I'm hurt. Ive known him for 13 years and he knew how much my Grammy meant to me. She was like a mom to me and Id really like to talk to him but hes too caught up in his new fiance ( yes you read that right). Do I call him out on his behavior or be passive agressive and ignore him for the time being? I'm too hurt and emotionally drained. My Grammy had a slow death over two weeks caused by a massive stroke followed by mini strokes leading up to her passing. I dont want to lash out but I do want to let him know he hurt me. How should I handle this?
