I moved out to this area, the guys are all the same and exclusive. These guys stick together. The women are always with these guys. These guys have some little rule amonsts themselves, that if anyone says anything to a woman, even slightly out of the way they should jump and beat up or bully that guy that did that, or get onto him. The guys would be like 'I wonder if that guy would say that to a man!' These guys out here typically accuses a guy of being "gay" or a "male b I t c h' and harrasses him. These guys typically tend to have dark hair brushed across their arms, and tend to be of an athletic physique. These guys tend to try to pick fights with me and when I try to avoid them they laugh and say to the other guys ' hes not a man' These guys tend to be always around these women, scanning yours and her conversation making sure you don't say something out of the way. One of these women may walk up to a guy out here and say 'I don't like the car this guy over here drives' and those guys would have that guys car tore up and be after that particular guy. A man didn't hold the door open for a woman in this area, and these random guys ran to the woman asking the woman if they should go after him and jump him, she said 'no I'm fine' Every time I am around a woman out here in this area I have some serious stupid with these random guys. You literally have to call the police on them, they seem to be really stupid. This area is proclaimed to be a redneck area.

My friend has been having hard time since her boyfriend left her. She had mental breakdown and moved to another country. That was 5 years ago and now she's on under heavy medications and completely broke. Now she suddenly wants to come back into the country in the next few weeks. She calls me everyday 10x a day asking me when I'll buy a ticket for her and demands that I buy her a ticket that is direct flight with certain airlines on the date that she wants but the problem is the tickets that she wants are very expensive and I'm also out of town on the day that she wants me to pick her up from the airport on business trip. When I told her that she asked me to change my business trip until after she gets here or I can come fly in for 1 day to pick her up and let her in to my house because she also wants to live with me at my place until she starts making money to move out. She said when she gets here she wants to fly out of town to look for a job but she got no money so I'm expecting her to also ask me to buy her another ticket when she gets here. I'm not rich and I'm a single mother. I already have many things planned that will require a lot of money. I didn't even know she was moving here until last week. And I certainly didn't know she was going to expect me to pay for everything. I want to help her but I think she expects too much from me, my family tells me that she's taking advantage of me and her financial situations are not my responsibility. What do I tell her?

So before we started dating my boyfriend and I were actually best friends so we are really close, I have known him for more than 10 years and I am deeply in love with him, my best friend on the other hand, is like my brother we were basically raised together so we are like so close. Last week I found out that my best friend betrayed me (he basically shared one of my deepest secrets to this girl who told almost every person I know). When my boyfriend found out about it he beat him up. I got so frustrated and mad at both of them, one for betraying me, the other for reacting in such a violent way. I talked with my best friend and he apologized but now my boyfriend is making me choose between him or my best friend because he can t accept how I would forgive someone who basically made a scandal out of me when I trusted him. I really love my boyfriend but I also can t just give a way an 18 year old friendship like that. Help.

My flat mates and I always do things together, and generally if we're thinking of going somewhere on a day out we'll put it on the group chat and ask each other about it etc - like theme parks, different cities etc. Two of my flat mates told me today they booked tickets for Harry Potter World months ago and they're going tomorrow (I've wanted to go forever and we talked about it once). It came out of nowhere, I thought they were joking at first and I feel super left out. I know it wasn't intentional, they said they talked about it one evening and spontaneously booked, but I feel like it could've been extended. I might be irrational but I feel really left out right now. I keep thinking if I were in their shoes, I would ask my other close friends. I've messaged one of them about it and he's not particularly sympathetic about it. I just said I wanted him to know I'm a little down about it and his tone implied I should just get over it. Not sure how to proceed now 😔

Last year I helped my coworker/ friend pass a big test in the engineering field. I decided to take the test and told him to tag along since it looks very good for a resume. For 6 months I would create a lesson every night then the following morning teach him. I would create copies of studying material by topic for both of us, and created binders to help. I found good practice tests and did a lot of research for the preparation. In the end we both passed, but I literally spoon fed everything. Fast forward to this year. There is this software that only he and I know how to use in our department of 40 people. About a year ago there were talks to create a program on that software, and I told him at the time that if he's asked to make something on it that if I can help and he said yeah definitely. He's 1 level higher than me. This year managers wanted to contract out making a program on it to consultants, but he told his manager he can make the program himself and started creating it without telling me. A few days later when I stopped by his cube casually he told me he was making a program. When I said I can help he said he will need a lot of help later but he kept secretly working on it. Now he's done and everyone knows he did it by himself, & that he's the only one who knows how to use it. I just wanted to be involved because it was a great opportunity for work recognition and I was truly passionate about the work, but I feel a little disappointed that he didn't include me

I made a friend in a summer program. We sat together on the first day of class and were lab partners. Things were going great and since it was my first time abroad, I was super excited and nervous about everything. We ate and shopped together and had fun. However, she suddenly started losing interest in me and would only talk to me if I talked first. Else she's stay on her phone. Then she made friends with another girl who was really sweet and they got along really well. They'd be with each other all the time. She practically started to ignore me. Some time ago, I saw that she'd unfriended me on facebook while everyine else from the summer program was still in her friends list. We've not been in touch since summer and idk why this has kept bothering me. What did I do so wrong? I can't think of a single moment that went so wrong that she'd cut off things with me... am I overthinking?

Me and my girl done it again last night 4 times past week. Including last night day after her ovulation day. Today she get up throwing up. Feeling nauseas after work. And tells me to get her PB and pickles. Sh** disgusting. Is this normal after a week? Or is she gonna end up missing her period in the 16th? Please serious comments.

Two of my friends, who are not friends with each other, have asked me to meet up with them before prom to take pictures and drive there together. I had agreed to the first friend already, but my second friend just kind of assumed that I was going with her. Anyways, I'm caught in a lie now because I didn't want to tell her "no, I'm going with my first friend that you don't like." So instead I told her that I would be returning home late, and possibly not show up to prom on time so we wouldn't have time to go together or hang out beforehand. I made it seem more like a timing issue, not that I already had plans. I haven't said anything to the first friend yet. I was thinking to suggest to the first friend to invite over the second, but they don't like each other much and I think it would put them in a bad mood. If anybody has advice I would love to hear it. Thank you!!

I grew up in a wealthy family, my mom is a realestate agent, my dad is a financial advisor. My brother is starting to be successfull, he is going to Cornell. He is naturally smart, tall, good looking, and a great athelete. Me on the otherhand; I'm small, I try very hard at school, and I have good grades, but far from that, what my brother achieved with putting in way less effort. I'm not a very good athlete, I'm decent at track and tennis, but that's it. I have major scoliosis, that causes backpain, so I can't be that active in sports. I have had two girlfriends, one cheated on me, the other one dumped me, because she wasn't interested anyomre in me. I'm fairly popular at school, but I still feel alone sometimes, since I have a lot of friends, but no one is my "bestfriend". I tried developing friendships, but it never really worked out. My old friendgroup at my school fell apart, they started doing drugs sophomore year (ecstasy, speed). I quit that group for that. Eversince I can't really find anyone else. Now that it is my junior year, I have one more year at school and then I'm going to college. I also feel like my parents just like my brother more, since he is so much more successfull, and I'm just the black sheep of the family, with not being good at anything, not a great student, not a great athlete, no real friends, no real girlfriend.

My friend of mine wanted to hang out with me, I told her I can't afford to have dinner, she claimed me as her "date" and offered to pay for my dinner. She claimed her as her "date" (friend date) the entire week. I saw her the day we were going to hang out, she came into my work so i know everything was fine with her. However she NEVER showed up to dinner, I tried calling her, Facebook messaging her, texting her, she never answered. I know she read my message/I know she was online.

So yesterday, my friend auditioned for a show that could've been the start of her acting career but she didn't get the part. She said that if she went for audition in the last week instead she would've gotten the part due to less competition, and that this is all my fault. Long story short, last week was the first round of audition and she wanted me to wake up at 9am and go for the audition with her as early as possible but I've told her that I might not be able to get up in time due to not having enough sleep the night before and that she just go alone first since some of her friends are auditioning as well I ended up waking up at 11am and found out that she wasn't at the audition yet, but at that time she still could've gone for the audition as the audition was opened till 7pm. But then she told me that she didn't want to go after 9am because there will be a huge crowd lining up for the audition after 9am and that she is not in the mood to wait in line on that day, I insisted that she should still go for it but she told me to stop talking about it and refused to go. So she ended up missing the first round of audition. I do feel a little guilty about this because I don't want her to give up on her dreams. But I really find it unfair that I'm being blamed for this.

I joined a bridge club and at my first meeting they introduced me to the other members. One of the members asked me what I did and I told her. She them asked me where I worked and I said the XYZ company. She said I know a lot of people at the XYZ company. Do you know John Doe? I said "Yes I do. He is my boss. Then she asked me all sorts of questions about John. Like was he a good boss? I told her he was a great boss. She wanted to know if he hit on the female employees and I jokingly told her no but I wish he would because he was a great looking guy. I was getting tired of her questions and I wanted to talk to other club members so I ask her why she was so interested in John Doe? She finally reluctantly told me he was her ex husband and then asked me more questions about him. I told her I did not care to discuss my work or her ex husband anymore. That really got her mad at me and she told the other club members that I had been rude to her. It was obvious that she and her ex husband had unresolved problems. I was not about to get in the middle of her problems. Was I being rude to her?

I don't socialize because I have a weird voice. I have had people want to be friends with me but I feel very insecure around them and just didn't feel the need to hang out with them but they wanted to hang out with me. I just don't get life or my life at all.

There is a woman at my new job that is always flirting with me even though she is way older and I asked her to stop. By flirting it's mostly like she is very physical when she deals with me and shes not like that with anyone else. It's usually above the waist like my arms, shoulders and chest. I know I'm probably overreacting and maybe over sensitive but she's been making very uncomfortable and everyone just thinks it's funny.

I was talking with my friend while the professor was lecturing (Yeah! It was very stupid to talk nonsense in such a serious situation!) and my professor suddenly said:"You're the type of person who talks too much! If you say another word, I'll throw you out of the class! The only good thing about you is that you participate in the subject, but you don't know that my patience is limited.". I apologised him, but he ordered me to be quite. What made me angry at him was that he didn't say a single word to my friend and he only blamed ME for talking too much! He even said that I don't note his lectures and I told him that he can take a look at my notebook and see that I have noted almost everything he'd said, but he told me that he doesn't care about my notebook! I'm an 18 year old female, by the way.

Recently a classmate that I used to sit by everyday in my first two hours has passed away. It's been hard on everyone around him, even those, including myself who were not very close to him. It's really taken a toll on everyone and I can't imagine how his family feels. A girl from my school who is your typical popular, pretty blonde girl posted a video on social media of her basically talking about herself for 3 minutes. She talked about how triggering it has been for her to hear the news of him taking his life. She also talked about how she has had dark thoughts before and struggles with depression. Also right in the middle of the whole thing she started talking about how she broke her leg and couldn't play volleyball and how bad she feels for herself and how sad she is that she can't do sports. It felt like a huge attention seeking thing. It felt very disrespectful in my opinion. What made it even worse was that she got hundreds of comments basically calling her a hero as if she fixed the situation. In reality that's not what happened. A guy died and all she could do is turn on her camera and talk about herself. I am a bit upset right now so I guess my train of thought isn't really all that logical right now. What do you think?

So I'm a guy in my early 20s. Last summer, a girl at my work my age started running up to me and hugging and hanging on me while I was working. She was cute, so I took it as ''she likes me''. So I asked her if she wanted to ''hang out'' with me some time. I didn't say ''go out''. Didn't think it mattered at the time. She said yes. We started texting and going places together. Ice cream, the mall, going for walks, etc. We would hug every time we ran into each other at work. We never kissed, the moment was never there. We just talked and laughed. She would text me all the time to say good night, wyd, how are you, will I see you today?, etc. What were we? In your opinion. Part of me feels like she liked me as a friend and I lost a girl friend because of me misreading her. Another part of me feels like she did have a crush on me.

I used to have a best friend and we were almost inseparable until she met a person who totally changed her. She literally became as if she was demonic or something and used to physically and emotionally abuse me. Many adults became involved in the situation and everything stopped and our friendship obviously ended until the person who changed her started bullying her and they stopped being friends as well. Then she came apologizing saying she's changed and that she realized that what she did was horrible and I stupidly accepted and we became friends again. During the same time I started talking to a guy and she knew that we liked each other but she ended up talking to him and they started going out together. I consider this to be a blessing as I found out that he was messed up as he likes drugs and I don't want to be associated with any of that but I keep dwelling on how I'm the one who was really effected by this situation and nothing happened to her and I just want to forget her and everything associated with her that happened recently. How can I do this?

Whenever I do something good she gets an attitude and then when I tell her off she gets mad but she's quiet and when something bad happens to her she takes it out on me and only me and I find it weird cause she's my closes friend

I have three friends I mainly hangout with. One of my friends I just met form my other two friends and she always gets mad when I'm hanging out with my other two friends and I always invite her but she says no all the time and when I text her to invite her she don't text back I recently got a job and I was happy and she got mad because she kept telling me to not go and to take care of it another time. My second friend I feel a vibe feel a weird vibe from her she acts like she's happy for me but then I can tell she's always mad about everything I do. Today my 2 friends went to the mall and I told them I was gonna look for another job since I didn't end up getting the first job but I wasn't about to give up and my second friend made it seem like it was a competition to see "who gets the most jobs" she was mad because this one job wanted me and not her for some reason and she just was quiet the whole time and started talking at a loud voice and my third friend told her to chill she gets mad at first with me then the next minute acts like nothing happened I can't say the same for my third friend cause she's always happy for me but to be honest she don't really pay attention when I talk to her about anything I don't know what to think to be honest

So I'm 18 and female and my literally best friend is a 22 year old male, we've been friends for just over a year. We literally tell eachother everything, things that nobody else knows at all. We've shared a bed(hotel and if we're at a friends house) I often steal his hoodies(he doesn't mind) and we often joke that we're "soulmates". But there's never been any kind of talk or thoughts of a relationship between us and people never believe that. People always ask one of us if we're jealous that the other is hanging out with a girl/guy (we're both bisexual btw). And sometime when we're out with friends it gets awkward and when we're alone or around a small friend group we'll always talk about it and how weird it is. So I gues what I'm trying to ask is do you think our friendship is weird?

So since I can t add pics to this post, I m going to try and explain this the best way possible! My ex and I broke up, I deleted him off Snapchat. A few months go by, and I just recently decided to add him back onto Snapchat. Now, you know how your Snapchat main page has all your discussions with your friends in chronological order and next to it will say when either you or your friend opened the snap? Well mine reads like this (I changed the names for privacy purposes: Sally > 2h Morgan > 1d Ryan > 1wk Katie > 1mos Kelsey > 5mos Andrea >5mos MY EX > 1d Jordan > 6mos Desia > 6mos So I m scrolling down and BOOM there s my ex that I haven t snapped in MONTHS and it has the open snap arrow with 1d next to his name....COMPLETELY out of chronological order!! What the heck!?!? I don t ever remember messaging him, I simply added him. Why does it say opened one day ago? What did he open? And if it was like some "butt dial" situation..wouldn t it be at the top of my list of recent chats!? Please help! :(

My friend is planning on killing himself in three days. I can't tell his mom because she is abusive and will probably make him want to kill himself more. His dad is never mentally around and his siblings don't know what to do. I can't tell counselors at school, because they never do anything and it's the weekend. I don't know how to stop him. He doesn't know that I know, his sister told me.

I had a crush on a co worker and I asked her if she wanted to hang out with me some time outside of work. Part of me feels like I should have said ''go out''. Do you think she got it? I wanted to tread lightly since it's my work. She said yes btw and she said i'm cute to her friend

ya estoy cansada que mi esposo cuando se enoja no me habla por varios diaz me parece inmaduro e infantil el tiene 38 anosy estoy cansandome de esto

I have heard stories about people ending friendships because of politics and that just makes me so sad. Just because someone sees the world differently from me doesn't mean I would stop being friends with them. If you have ever done this can you explain why?

I'm in 7th grade as of right now going into 8th. I met this kid in 6th grade and he let me sit at his lunch table with all of his friends. I sat with all of them and they loved me. I'm still great friends with everyone else but one of my best friends at that table hates me for no apparent reason. I tell a joke, everyone listens and the kid is just like "Stop, no one likes you", and "Dude just don't...". He's a lot bigger than me height wise, he's like 5'10 or something and he just hits me sometimes. He's the head of the table basically so I can't really do anything about it. He's the only kid in my friend group who just hates me. We hung out a lot and really liked each other, but up until recently like a couple of months ago he just doesn't like me and only me. His sister and my brother are both in 10th grade. My brother has autism and his sister is normal. They don't really talk so I don't see how it could do anything with that... My grandmother committed suicide and my parents got divorced and now this kid I trusted just stopped liking me all in the span of a couple months. I'm not depressed by any means I would say, but I'm just super bummed and sad. I hate the word depressed.
