I have known my friend since January and we are both attending school overseas. She is 26, the same age as me and has been married for a couple of years. We ended up becoming really close friends over the past few months although since last month she has been acting really strange. She does her best to avoid hanging out with me and I have noticed that and thus given her space. Even when we are just talking she seems fine for a bit but then starts getting visibly upset over nothing. Also whenever we go on a break she stays in touch with all my other friends except for me. When we are with our friends she is back to herself and really nice but whenever we hang out nowadays its the opposite and I kind of don't like being around her. We live on campus together and will continue to see each other for the next three years so I do want to figure out what is going on with her. I have asked her directly but she never says anything about it so I don't know what to do.

In high school, I was one of the most popular dudes and was also friends with almost every girl I knew. I also played varsity basketball and I was actively involved in a busy social life. As I began college, things seemed to stop going my way. What do I need to do differently? I also need tips on how to get girls. I feel like an idiot because getting girls always came naturally for me.

Hi This follows up a question I had on here earlier. I think I was manipulated into making a decision by a friend . Which was a visit to see me, even though I told her, with any luck that later in the year I would be more together and on my feet again. However I honestly felt pressured as she was asking for my address. But it`s the way she asked me, quite indirect. Something like, she had forgotten exactly where I lived etc...I told her later in the year I am looking forward to back to normal again that I would like to see her if all goes well. I never gave her my address. She has not answered me for a few days. I had one health problem after another and she knew about them. Would you say she is just giving me space? I do have a fault that sometimes I don´t want to offend so I tend to not be too direct about things. And her offer to see me seemed so nice of her.

Is it weird that I'm 23 and my boyfriend and best friend are 21 or is this common? The rest of my friends in the same friendship group are the same age/ older

Sooo a few weeks ago my friend made this group, and I was in it. But being the little b/):& that I am, when we where all planing to go to this one girls house, the girl said that "You aren't invited" I don't know if it was a joke, but IMO that girl seems fake. Anyways, I cried and left the group chat cause like I said, I'm a little b:$:$;$; (sorry for how bad the sensorship is, you can't curse here.) anyways, I'm pretty sure she hates me. But thannnnn she wants me to talk with her and all this stuff as if we are friends. Does she hate me? Can I rejoin the chat? I honestly want to be I. The group, but at the same time I don't. Help because my bestfriend is in the group and I'm worried she'll always stick with that group and change.

There's this girl i used to work with (we both got laid off at least 3 months ago) and she constantly wants to hang out with me. I feel we just don't have much in common; there is also a bit of an age gap and we grew up on different sides of the country (I'm west cost and she's east). She is really nice and all, but i just don't like talking or hanging out with her. Every time we do hang out all she talks about is her boyfriend!! Or she asks about mine. There are so many other things she can talk about but she only talks about him. And the last time we were supposed to hang out all day at a festival in LA (she was the one who asked me to go with her btw), not only did she forget about it until I reminded her a few days before but she canceled just cuz her boyfriend wanted to eat lunch with her!!! I honestly didn't really want to go, but it still bothers me that she would cancel a whole days plan just to have lunch with him. I'm just tired of hearing about her boyfriend and would like to just cut her out of my life. Or maybe help her not be so attached to him and get her own life that doesn't constantly revolve around him (preferred). How do I do this without hurting her feelings? She's still a really nice person, but I can't take it anymore!

My best friend says he loves his kids more than anything, but feels like he is losing his identity because of them. I mentioned to a work colleague that I was going to Australia for a year, she laughed saying "God I wish I could do that but I have the two kids", then she burst into tears and went off to the toilet. My brother in law is always saying "if you like money and piece and quiet, dont have kids haha" or "hey, want a couple of free kids? Please?" I know they all love their kids, and they planned them, but they dont seem overly happy about it. Is this a common thing?

I use social media and podcast to promote my online business and try to be as authentic as I can ... which is a great way to connect with customers. But the problem with this, I feel, is that some followers take it to heart and think they know you really well and/or want to become closer friends. How can I stay friendly while at the same time maintaining boundaries between me and my followers? Some think it's OK to send me multiple messages, or long-winded emails or want to meet-up when they happen to be in my city. Some even get offended or worried if I don't respond right away. It's such a strange dynamic that I'm not sure how to handle very well. Thanks for any advice!

Ive had this friend for several years, then she started having an attitude towards me alot/making rude comments/being demeaning. I had noticed she talks to her husband this way but figured at the time it was due to marital issues or something. However, I now think its her personality as my socially oblivious new husband and father have noticed it. I dont wish to be friends with her anymore. I dont dislike her but I notice I feel bad about myself around her. Right after I got married, I tried to voice my thoughts on this in a convo where she was criticizing me on something that happened and she immediately shut down and did not speak for minutes then said she was sorry and changed the subject. I dont think she got the hint because she was asking me to go to an event with her repeatedly, and while Id like to go- when I went with her last year was around the time she started acting like this and I didnt have a good time. I finally responded to her that I wanted to go, but it was awkward for me the last time due to the way she talked to me and didnt talk to her other friend that way she brought along the way she does with me, and that I had wanted to leave shortly after the event was over. She hasnt responded and its been 3 months. Is it safe to say the friendship is finally over

So imagine you're going on vacation with a guy who is just a friend and there's just one bed. What would you do? Would you sleep together? Assuming it is clear that all you have to do is sleep. Would you refuse?

So, my best friend knows that I'm going through a lot of stress. So, I kind of wanted to see what he would do if I "drank alcohol" (I actually didn't, I only told him through text). I'm underage (14) but he took everything so seriously and now I'm too scared to tell him it was just a social experiment because he might get mad. Please help.

So a few years back I had this guy friend who became my best friend. We were truly inseparable. Well we were super young back then and his mom got involved and made us cut each other off. We slept together once. 4 years went by and we find ourselves hanging out again because our friends are mutual. My Best friend works at the same place as him, and my other two close friends grew up with him. He is constantly meaner to me than everyone else. He makes rude comments but smirks at me. I know he is joking and it's just how he is but I never truly got over him. We hang out frequently because he is a part of our group. He knows I love him still and he just got out of a super bad relationship. Also it probably doesn't help that we slept with each other a month and a half ago after not talking for 4 years. We haven't spoken about it and I'm not mad or anything . I genuinely want to be his friend.. but it's hard when I feel like we're supposed to be together. I just need some advice...he calls me often to talk. We're not physical at all since we slept together and I think he is genuinely trying to be my friend but I'm not a dude so what the hell is going through His head ?? Lol help

I love everything social that comes with being an extrovert, being a social butterfly, parties, being more open and close with others? but unluckily I'm closed off. And I get anxious that I have to give a certain response to make myself funny and not make it awkward. To be honest, I don't rlly have a best friend and that's scares me. I sound dumb but, god I want someone close that I can rely on. but I have a hard time opening up with others and just remain "good" friends. Does anyone know what I mean? like I can be friends with someone up to a certain point and then idk how to get closer. Btw I'm in middle school. I rlly want to be more social maybe even get with someone, but I'm what people call "someone with no personality" so that doesn't help. As much as that annoys me, I've come to terms with it. Some of my friends meet someone from a nearby school through snap and hook up the week after, and I'm jealous of their abilities to attract and talk to people that easily. I actually find myself lucky that I have the friends I have considering my personality. I'm quite awkward on text and don't know how to become friends with someone new through snapchat . So pls give me some suggestion or help me out in any way.

Growing up I didn't really have friends, well real friends. I had a few here and there but they never seem to stay. I just graduated high school and am planning to go to college. I'm live in Ohio so there isn't much going on... I have bipolar disorder which makes it hard for me to stay in contact sometimes but this is nothing I can do about that.. Which sucks. By any advice on how I can meet friends and be less socially awkward? All answers are appreciated!

One of my coworkers found out I'm moving out of state. She said I would like my new city. She would ask me how much longer till I move. When I moved to my new and I came back into town to visit, people asked me how it was going. I told them I didn't like the town. Why did she get upset with me and ask me why I don't like the town?

I sent her a message with a picture that said "Avril is this how you look now? is that how you look now? I found this a website about you a few months ago" and she said "yes"

I had a friend for a few months until recently that friend and their best friend wanted to end their friendship with me. Apparently I was being too soft on them and I was thinking that they hated me when they got mad at me and stuff. When we were friends, it was kinda a toxic relationship. They were being rude sometimes, they hurt my feelings sometimes, etc. Ever since the friendships ended, I ve started feeling more sensitive and more sad, etc. Is it my fault?

My stupid friend signed up for a life-guard training course and paid $125, but he only attended training for 2 days and quickly gave up. He claimed he wasn't going back because the fatigue caused him to grow dizzy to the point of passing out. However, he waited a month late, and has only now remembered about the money. How would he go about getting the refund?

Here's the problem I work and I've been buying her food all long but I have my own bills to pay but she doesn't seem to care. I always leave myself broke for buying my friend food.
