I was at school studying for exams and my best friend took my laptop. since I ve trusted him for years I knew he wouldn't do anything to betray me and my teacher pulled me aside to look over a mistake I made on a quiz and when i came back my friend was gone and somebody came up to me and said he was looking through my search history. eventually I found him and I got really mad and left for awhile to think things over. I eventually talked to him and he had no remorse so yelled and let the entire school know what he did. the worst part is that I don"t feel bad about yelling at him. I get a sick feeling in my gut whenever I think of him but what he did, is that even legal? but is it okay that I feel betrayed?

no one wants to come to my birthday party I feel so embarrassed they all are making up lies just so they don't come i hate myself and i keep on crying should i just cancel? :(

When comparing male and female friends, women are often seen as b*tchy, jealous and associated with PMS. But men are seen as the awesome ones, the more entertraining and stuff. Why aren't women ever seen as awesome?

So I told my friend how a couple of girls in a clique at my school got into a fight I saw. She asked a girl from that clique if anything was going on between them, and then it got to the "leader" of the group. They began throwing notes at her constantly and begging her to tell them and insulting her. Finally, she gave in and told them it was me, so they began insulting me. One girl grabbed me by the shirt and pulled me up and said: "If you spread any more ******* rumors I will beat your ***." That was pretty scary? They then began to insult me and told me to "get a life", "you're such a pathetic liar", "you're just trying to get us separated", "you're lying, dumb dork". Like, what?? I quickly left, but then the leader of the clique grabbed my friend and literally CRADLED her head in her arms and was like "I'm sorry honey, I wasn't talking to you, I was talking to (my name), that little ***** has been doing this all year." I've barely ever even talked to her and I've never spread rumors. Now, whenever we walk by they roll my eyes at me and throw stuff at me. School is ending in 2 weeks, but should I still tell the teachers? It is really annoying. My friend HATES one of the girls over there because she is always trash talking her with her fake *** group and calling her a whore for no reason. So, I thought telling her about the fight would be a good idea. Apparently not. What should I do? Leave it? She was kind of threatening me with the "I'll beat your ***" thing though :/

I'll try and explain this as best as possible, I'm very good friends with someone and they have had problems with someone who used to live with them in the past as a friend and on some occasions arguments and bad fights have happened between them, the police has been involved numerous of times with these incidents. My friend has a baby who she trusts me to babysit for her while she works during the week and the person who used to live with her basically harasses her at random times and comes round to her house and smashes things up. I will be babysitting at her house with her child and I'm scared in case this person comes round the house while I'm alone and tries to get in or smashes the window or something, I don't know what to do if this happens and I'm scared to be alone and babysit in case this does happen because I don't know what I would do, I would be in danger as well as the baby. This person knows who knows me is jealous that I'm friends with her and accuses her of things because we are friends, she claims she knows where I live and she is capable of bad things. I really don't know what to do in this situation I have such a good friend who I care for and trust but this is a problem that I don't know what I can do about. I need advice please as soon as possible.

I hang out with friends and neighbors and listen to what they are talking about, but I also want to become a professional conversation starter too. Being a good listener is important, I already know that. But how do I become an excellent conversation starter without becoming boring or uninteresting?

I told my friends I would not be coming with them on the limo for prom, which costs about $35. Someone in our group chat (a friend of one of my friends) asked me "Can I ask why not?" I've had issues with this particular person before and I found this comment to be insensitive because I should be able to make financial decisions without explaining myself. It's not that I cannot afford, I would just rather use my hard earned money for something else. Thoughts? **$35 per person

One of my friend's friends asked me why I don't want to spend $35 on a limo ride to prom. He made me feel like ****. Then when I showed my friend the message, I said "he is acting so ridiculous." and she said, "well I would ask the same thing, not to you though, because I know you get offended easily." Am I really that much of a pussy? Should I have to answer myself, regarding why I feel like a limo is a waste of money? I have a lot of costs coming up, uni, car, etc

I am female and My boyfriend had a male friend who was the same age as my boyfriend and still single at age 32. My boyfriend always wanted to set him up with women and was keen for him to get a girlfriend like he had me. He kept telling me that women were ungrateful not to go out with him because he was a good looking guy. Still this man couldn't get a girlfriend my boyfriend used to go on holiday with this guy often and he would text me and say that they were both sharing a bed together My boyfriend never shared a bed with me the entire time we were together, he said it was best if we sleep in separate rooms until marriage On a separate occasion me and my boyfriend were invited to a wedding. My boyfriend rang me to tell me that he has spent the evening with his male friend and they went out for dinner and they had both decided that at the wedding they would be sharing a hotel room and that I would have a hotel room on my own His reasons for this was because he was worried that his 'friend' would be a third wheel to our relationship that weekend and didn't want to leave him out. He said that he would spend time with me in the day I felt really uncomfortable with this arrangement and I questioned my boyfriend about it and he told me that they wouldn't be sharing a bed and his male friend would sleep on the floor He would often say to me that he was worried his male friend was lonely and he wanted to pay to take him on holiday again Is this a strange friendship?

I get really mad at myself as it's been a year since I decided to stop a toxic friendship as they used to hurt me both physically and emotionally and yet I still think about them and I still want to check into their social media accounts in order to see what and how they're doing just by seeing their posts and not making any contact with them. We were really close friends and they really messed up my life to the point where I got anxiety. They act as if they're the victim and they're really toxic. It's been a year since I cut contact with this person and yet I still feel as if they have control over my life. Whenever a person follows me on social media I just have to check if they follow this person as well, and if they do I just immediately resent the person for what this 'friend' did to me. How can I let everything go and forget about them and just not care at all about them anymore?

Everyone in my town is fake or rude or probably doesn't want to hang with me. Fr I'm a bit quieter but not totally shy. Like if you insult my friends you insult me, I don't let people walk over me as much as i used to. I have major trust issues and what happened last night with my best and basically only friend i hang out with has made that a bigger part of me. I just want a friend i can actually trust and know fully and deeply. More like a boyfriend//bestfriend where its just you two with eachother fully. Dangerous to let someone see so much of you but I just need someone who wouldn't make it seem dangerous. Any advice?

I had a falling out with my old group of friends. They bullied me and consistently made a fool of me Everyone in my town thought they only hung out with me to bully me and laugh at me. One night I was humiliated as usual in front of the group and others at the bar. On the way home I ended up walking home with one of them called Joe. Me and Joe didn't have a lot in common so if we were alone together there would be awkward silence. Joe would laugh and join in with the gang when they made fun of me. When we were alone, he told me firmly not to let any of them ever bully me. I was surprised and he emphasised how he was dead serious. At the time I was a pushover and just said OK I won't. However, if it happened today I would have confronted Joe and asked if he felt it was wrong why did he not stand up for me instead of laughing and encouraging them. My friend Sam thinks Joe deserves respect and I should have appreciated the advice and he wouldn't have deserved the aggressive response I would have given him. Do you agree with me or Sam and what is your opinion of people like Joe?

I'm a 21 year old guy. A few weeks ago at work, my boss hired a 16 year old girl. I trained her and over that time we would chat and have breaks together. We have a lot in common. Especially religion and hobbies. She always smiles and waves at me when I walk by or she walks by. And I catch her looking over at me across the way while I'm working. Do you think she has a crush on me? I'm a working man and she's still in high school, so I have no intention on being more than friends for now. I just want to be the cool guy in the work place and see how things go. I have a crush on her, I think she's cute as a button, but there is no way I would do anything direct.

thx

Okay. This is the third time this happens to me in the last few years. Someone is being awfully nice to me, and I turn back the kindness as much as manageable, and then out of the blue they flat tell me or I overhear it that they can't stand me! Do I inspire hypocrisy in human beings? Have you ever been there? What do I do?

I met this guy 3 months ago at work and we hit it off as great colleagues. Soon enough we were messaging each other at work a bunch. Then we ended up exchanging numbers. We are at the point where we talk on the phone multiple days per week for about 2-5 hrs at a time. But that's it. We do see each other at work everyday. When we talk we talk about our days, very deep emotional things, funny things, etc. He opened up to me about his ex who he says is smothering him but he feels bad for her so though he never initiates contact with her he will still hang out with her if she initiates. He then asked me if there are any guys in my life and I played it off bc I'm dumb. I said I'm in a bunch of dating apps and I'm looking for a man there and told him about a few guys I'm talking too. Anyways aside from that he compliments me a lot, he things we vibe a lot (which he says he doesn't do with his ex). I don't want to ruin our work relationship, friendship - but I'm also confused as to why he's not making a move or something. This is also dumb but we are two different races and have not really ventured down this path before - but the connection is so real. I really want to ask him about his feelings but I also don't want to ruin anything. Any guys or girls with any advice?

There's was this guy who works at the supermarket, I think he's new there, anyways I walked in and then turned back to see where my brother was and he was just standing there looking right at me, he turned his body and everything. I looked at him briefly but he didn't look away, And then when I am about to pay he looks at my face and eyes. Anyways all of a sudden he's stopped looking at me. I mean I do walk in with my brother. But he's not paying me any attention? Why is this?

We used to be really good friends and then we dated for awhile and we broke up and now were not friends anymore. Tonight tho i spent a long time talking to him and i just realized how much i miss him and that i just want to be friends again but i have no idea how to tell him. I dont want it to sound weird or anything bc i dont want it to be awkward.

So ive had a guy account on there for quite a long time now and a girl kind of fell in love with the character i pretended to be, we played pub g like once and she thought i was a guy still sense i sounded like a guy. I have no bad intentions on this, i generally care about this person but not in a romantic way, what do you think of this? Im still using it of course, and shes more happy thanks to me BUT I FEEL SO BAD ABOUT IT IDK WHAT TO DO LYING ABOUT GENDER? LYING ABOUT GENDER ONLINE? IS IT BAD?

So i have this friend in my classes and i really like him. He doesn't say much but we still talk. He's such a sweet and quiet person. His friend told me something about him that made me mad and i told my friends about it. They apparently told these two boys i've known for a while and they're like brothers to me. When they asked me about it i got emotional and they got the wrong idea and got mad at him. They took it too far. They hurt him. He was gone for a week after it happened and when he came back i tried to talk to him about it but he just ignored me. I feel really bad and i don't want him to be mad at me. How do i fix everything? How do i make things normal between us again? Any advice would be helpful. Thank you

I just like doing nice things for you. I want to be there for you and support you. I don't want our friendship to be superficial. I really want us to become close friends.

I live in a rural area. I like running, cycling, soccer, footbal l ;wrestling and working out. I have made good first impressions with almost everyone I wanted to be my friend but then I meet them to never call them or ask them anything, people are like friends but they never reach out or invite me to anything. I just somehow manage to distance myself from literally everyone and it kind of like feels like a shield around me that gets people close and pushes them away, I think I have a mindset that says I dont deserve any friends or something. Also sometimes I feel like others are stupid but its fine so I try to act cool and end up being called stupid myself (I dont do anything when someone calls me names) The anxiety is so bad that I think someone is going to see me and give me weird looks so I end up just spending the entire week on my computer because I dont have nothing and nobody (atleast I feel like it, when I ask someone they just say ah im busy or something) I really need to know how to get closer to my friends and especially for my friends not to feel awkward around his friends so they can openly be my friend instead of just being my friend when nobody else is around.

Tonight, I hugged my guy friend and it was more of a romantic hug. I put my head near his when hugging. Afterward, I was going to say bye and I looked down at a tag he was wearing. We work together and I said oh you have your name on your tag now because he didn't for a while. I said this in a friendly way and just wanted to be friendly. He laughed and said "are you roasting me?" and smiled. He thought I was teasing him and I laughed and smiled and said no. He then teased me by saying a rude comment to me jokingly. I would have felt weird just hugging like that and leaving. I wasn't trying to be rude. After hugging, should I have just said bye or was it okay what I did?

So my friend and I both prank called this dude up the street and he figured out it was me and laughed and then asked my friend what she looks like and then my friend said I'm a step worse than Tina (aka me) and he said oh well then you can't be that bad cause Tina's pretty cute. Then my friend asked " what do you think of Tina's dad"? And he said "I don't think he'd like me if I told him his daughters smoking hot" and then my friend said " are you being serious" and he's all "well no I'm just saying if I did he would't cause it would be weird if his old neighbor said that about his daughter". Then right before he hung up he said here let me tell Tina good night. And he did address he felt that he shouldn't have been talking to us but still the call lasted about an hour of just joking but those are the things he said that stuck out to me. We then just hung up the phone We're 15 and he's 40 with a family.

You used to know this person, they'd say hi, you'd say hi, have a small chat. But something changed in their lives. When they visit your group of friends, they talk to your friends, but totally ignore your existence.

One of my friends asked me if I knew anybody she could shadow to gain experience for medicine. I decided to invite her to the docs office where she agreed and spent the whole day with me. However, she mentioned two things that caught my attention. First, she talked about that her parents telling her that she should tell them that if she finds a guy that she likes to do so in order to arrange for things to happen. And then, she later talked about her opinion about adopting kids and how many kids she considered one day to have with me. Is this just friends or was she hinting at me? She talked about the kids stuff but of course didn't say forthright that it would be with me. However, I found it interesting nevertheless.

2 girls now have cut Sidney out of their lives, they say she's annoying and one friend got into an argument with Sidney because of women project . However she hasn't done anything to me, and I'm good friends with her twin and their family. I would feel guilty if I did that and it would be so awkward if I was only friends with one of the twins. But I'm afraid that I'll feel lame because that's what everyone calls Sidney and she's loosing all her friends and my friend group dislikes her

During my 2 friends birthday i chipped in so we could buy a present for them. They did a big suprise with ballons and cakes for both of them. Then my birthday comes and i get nothing. 2 weeks later one of my friend said she would buy me chocolate as a gift but never did. My other friends birthday is coming up now and they want me to chip in. I brought it up and they got awkward about and tried to blame me for it somehow. They said lets do a shared birthday but it feels forced and not like they actually care. I dont care about the presents or a suprise it just showed me how little they care. I feel like im not apart of the group and im not appreciated. I dont want to waste money on people who dont care about me. They might think im a ***** for not contributing but i dont care. Am i being petty or is it justified??

One thing i don't care about are people and if they die
