This guy and I hung out and we had sex. Before we had sex I asked him if he wanted to be friends with benefits. And he said yes because he was always into me. Recently I told him my parents like him and want me to date him. He said that he thinks us hooking up should just be a one-time thing but that he enjoyed our time together. He said that he didn t want me to think that this was going somewhere. He said that he thinks I m stunning that he loves my body and pictures. And that he will always accept them with open arms. I told him that I don t want a relationship and that I only want sex. And he replied telling me not to stop sending him pictures though. All I want is sex with him and nothing more. ***The only reason why he said he thinks it should just be a one time thing is because I told him about my parents liking him***

I use to want to have friends as a kid but I'm older now and all they do is just let you down I never talk to anyone I would rather just isolate myself and not socialize I was never good at it anyway I am trying to get into college and get a degree in computer technology I have autism and ADHD so there is a reason not to have friends is that normal?

i'm 13 and i'm in a close group of friends. there is five of us. now obviously that's an odd number so there's gonna be people closer than others. in my group its in pairs so there's a two, another two and then a one. i'm the one. i've done everything i possibly can just to have a close friend but they do not care as long as they have someone. i'm the backup plan in case someone's missing that day. they say these things to me all the time which are just so horrible. just basic bullying. name calling, pushing me, etc but to them it's "just a joke". about two month ago they told me to just go away and not speak to them anymore. so i did. i became friends with a new group of girls which were the nicest people ever. then my old friends apologised and asked me to go back to them. so me being stupid, i did. they still continue to plan things together without me then purposely send me photos and videos of all of them together. because of all the pushing and name calling i've thought about suicide and i still think about it. but i'm just too physically scared of putting my family through that pain. i know i should stay away from them but because being with them is so easy in school. meeting up after classes, going for lunch. i just can't cut them out of my life and then i let them get closer and it's just a viscous cycle. i don't know what to do because i can't let them go because i've grew so close to them before all this started happening.

My brother chooses too hang out with really big friends. They are really over weight and they all choose to sit inside and do nothing. They wear clothes that are over sized and out of style. None of them seem to get girlfriends or have relationships. They all have been to so many parties in high school and haven't gotten one girlfriend yet. My brother has a job that doesn't pay and on his day off he will sleep and hang out with his really big friends. He will also bring one or two friends over and they will just talk to one of our parents instead of going out and they talk about the same things over and over again like how messy my brothers room is. Sometimes they will go out. They all also smoke so much too whenever they can. My brother and his friends are 21 and ending college next year. How come he chooses this negative side of life?

So basically we are both 16 and were having a sleepover, and over the night while she was sleeping I found her wallet next to her bed ( I was in a sleeping bag) and I took her wallet and took 500 dollars of cash out and put it in my bag and I took her mac mini 2018 and some clothes and makeup and nice shoes and her iPad and put it all in my bag, I went home like usual the next day and she later called me asking if it was me and I told her it wasn't because I panicked and she said her parents think they were robbed and are getting the police involved and checking security cameras and stuff, im so scared im panicking I wish I had told her the truth before it all happened because now its to late, please advice

So I wrote a previous question regarding my friend (if you wanna go back and look at that for more details). But basically my friend lives with her boyfriend and his family and there's always conflicts between them all. It's obvious they don't want her there. My friend calls me all the time about her problems. I keep saying to move out. She says she's depressed. The other day she texted me saying she wanted to kill herself and slit her throat (cuz of everything that was happening at the house. All the arguments between my friend and the family.) I take that stuff very seriously, so she had me all stressed out and freaking out cuz idk what to do so I'm asking my family and friends what I should do. I was gunna have her stay at my place cuz I really wanted her to leave. I kept calling her but she wouldn't answer, only texted. I was trying to go out of my way to figure out how I'm gunna pick her up cuz she lives far. I told her to call her dad so she can stay over there. Long story short, she finally called me 2 hours later, talking very nonchalant, telling me about what happened. And I asked "so what are you gunna do. Did you ask your dad if you could move back?" And she basically concluded she was gunna continue living in that "toxic" house and was giving me bull shi t excuses on why she doesn't want to move back with her dad. Saying she doesn't wanna find a new job, she wont have as much freedom, wont have a car to drive, she'll have to pay a Lil more for rent, and that she wants to take her bf but doesn't want to pay extra for him to stay. So everyone keeps telling me to not be her friend and that she was only seeking attention from the suicide message. It did really upset me cuz I take suicide serious and for her to tell me that and STILL not make a change to the situation and continue living in that place and not listening to my advice, is irritating. Idk what to do or how to tell her it made me upset. I also Don't wanna invalidate her pain for wanting to commit suicide (if it was true). But everyone keeps telling me it was for attention and that I'm the only one who will feed into it cuz she has no one else to turn to. And that she needs someone to validate her feelings. She lost everyone else because there was always a conflict between her and another person. They say she very selfish and narcissistic and she don't care about my feelings or my advice. BTW, she's my best friend of 8 years. I at least wanna tell her why that upset me, but some say I shouldn't even tell her why I'm upset with her cuz she wont listen and doesn't care OR she'll get super defensive and get mad at me for telling her how I felt with that whole situation. Idk what to do.

So I liked this guy, and he liked me. But I had a feeling that my best friend also liked him, so when he asked me out I made a dumb decision by pretending nothing happened, because for one I was very stressed that week, and I'm not great at communicating with people. This was like a month ago, and I apologized a few days ago for everything that's happened. Turns out my best friend did really like him too. So I wasn't around for a month and then I come back and I learn that my friend group got into a fight and the guy said some rude stuff to people. He can be kinda jerky sometimes, but I talked to him, and he apologized for everything too, but my friends don't really want anything to do with him, but we both had a really great talk and talked everything out and he was so sweet. And I can't get him out of my mind again, my friends did say they didn't mind if I was going to be friends with him because I was gone when everything happened, idk what to do, should I tell him that I don't think we should be friends? I don't want to hurt my other friends so idkkkkk

I'm an 18 year old autistic person and have always been extremely socially anxious. Other than a few family members and some online friends, I am awkward and stiff around just about everyone I meet, and its incredibly lonely. In the past I have managed to join friend groups, but a lot of them made me feel terrible, and I have often been faced with the choice of being around people who make me feel bad or going back to that crushing loneliness. I don't understand - am I unable to make friends with people who are genuinely nice to me? Should I just accept that I will be alone forever?

So me and my friend has been friends since we was kids and everything was fine between us. We didn't fight a lot, we never really argued because we easily got along. We usually hung out at the bar or at our houses to chill and watch movies or drink. But all of that changed two weeks ago, ever since that day we went to the liquor store he seemed a bit off. I'm not sure why he was acting that way that day but he seemed quiet and he seemed stressed the hell out for some reason. As a good friend I believed that the right thing to do was to ask him if he was alright or if he needed help with anything but he just told me that he had a bad day and he was just really in a mood to relax and drink with me. I replied back to him saying "alright well if you don't wanna talk about it then I understand." He told me that he really didn't wanna talk about it and he thanked me for understanding. After that we just hung out and drank as usual. After that day he totally changed, he doesn't go on social media, he never calls me or text me and whenever I call him he just sounds sad or worried like something is happening. The last time I saw him was yesterday when I noticed him while I was driving in town and I saw him going inside this weird apartment, I noticed him because he always had this tattoo of a snake wrapped around a grenade on his neck and he was dressed in all black, he died his hair black, he was wearing contact lens and he seemed like he was in a rush. Someone please give me advice

There are two Hooters in my location. When you go into one, the manager is a black woman made into a guy. The staff is riddled with black women, most looks like AOC and a few are looks like boys with long hair. The white women that are hardly spotted there are fat and sloppy trailer park looking. The other Hooters location is just as bad. So is this Hooters or the area?

She tries really hard to prove to everyone that she is better than me Also she tell me that i am not pretty and she has a smile to her face when she do that... One day she told me that a girl called me ugly behind my back only to make me feel bad One day i told her that i like a guy and she told me in a rude way that i am too ugly for him

So I used to get picked on a lot in school. Bullied, made fun of and even my own friends seemed to make fun on me. I played sports and was very good at almost anything. I was always super smart as well. My brother died when I was in middle school and sadly enough I was getting made fun of for that as well. Some people even said my brother probably died because he smoked pot, or some said they were glad he died. When I needed friends the most, not many people were there. I had like three teachers say they were sorry for my loss and gave me a hug. I got detention because I shut everything out and a substitute thought I wasn't paying attention, yet I passed my homework. When I needed friends most that's when no one was there, there was even one kid that used to pee on me in the showers after wrestling practice and I just quit wrestling because of it. I couldn't tell the teachers otherwise risk getting made fun of or worse. The wrestling coach was mad but I didn't tell him why. One teacher really hated me in high school and made fun of my sex life which I replied (stupidly at the time) that she always seems to get pregnant every year and misses most the school year and gets paid for it and more or less called her lazy. She wasn't that great of a teacher either, I corrected stuff she put on the board and she got pissy at me. But there were times I was really close to becoming a school shooter. I didn't and I'm much happier now. Would it be a bad book idea? Let me know

I have a friend that has recently been diagnosed with anorexia. He wasn't very happy about the result saying "I don't want to be diagnosed with that when I've got more weight to lose". I can't be with him there physically as he's in Australia and I'm in the US. What are some things I can say when we speak again?

When I was younger, my friend and I (both of us in elementary school) used to kiss. It wasn't romantic or anything and it never got passed that, and it was just to do it is this normal?

He was stumbling over his words , seemed like he was somewhere else the whole time, and didn't know what was in his report. Did Mueller perhaps compose this fiction under the influence of a hallucinogenic drug. His behavior certainly does beg the question. Maybe he ate mushrooms. One has to wonder if the entire Democratic party was supplied a batch of those mushrooms ?

I'm a 21 year old guy and I'm friends with a 16 year old girl at my work. I trained her, and I've gotten to know her pretty well. Here's the thing. I like her, she's a smart, kind, fun, genuine person. How can I progress our friendship? I want to go out and do something as friends to strengthen our friendship. Just not sure what. To be clear, this is only friendship and I want to make sure no one thinks we are dating or something. Does she have a crush on me? I don't know. I think she's cute, but I'm not gonna cross that line. Any ideas for something fun to do she will like? I need something that won't come across "bad". I'm not gonna lie, I want to drive her around in my badass muscle car. And take her for ice cream. Or find a reason to drive her home. Any ideas?

There is LOADS of **** that happens to me on a daily basis and I can't do anything about it, really. I'm a few years from moving out and school is starting soon. I'm really trying to teach myself to not care, taking after Mark Manson. (I love him, he's my idol! Look him up!) I know that everybody is equal and my feelings don't matter than anybody elses, (I've read some of his books) and that I'm not a "special snowflake." I'm not playing the victim game or anything, but I need help on how to convince myself some things aren't worth giving a **** about! Advice??

I also am extremely forgetful when people talk to me, and I dont know how to respond properly. I always sound disinterested and bored. I say, "cool!' and "awesome!" a lot, and "thats good!" or "thats not good" in response. The forgetfulness is not just with people in real life though, because if I watch a tv show I often have trouble keeping track of the dialogue. I also always put off hanging out with friends for as long as possible, until it hits me that I'm being rude by putting them on hold so long. Then I grit my teeth and bear it, and hang out for a couple hours and when I get home I feel like I can relax again.

Almost every day he texts me "What's up?" Then we text about random stuff like girls and whatnot. However the only time we hang out is when other people are having a party or whatever and we are both invited. And we both went on a camping trip with mutual friends but didn't even sleep in the same tent. I haven't even been to his house except to drop him off. But now its been months since I have seen him in person yet we still text all the time. I even invited him bowling once and he said he couldn't go. Do you think he's a real friend?

Me and my friend, both 20, have been friends since we was 10 years old. The closest friendship ever imaginable. We have NEVER had fights or arguments but two years ago she got into a relationship with a man 10 years older than her and she completely lost herself. He is very abusive to not only her, but her 2 year old son also. (Not biologically his) She calls me almost every-night crying and telling me about how her nose is busted, how he spit on her, and how he destroyed all her things .I, along with her own parents, have called cops and child protective services multiple times and they fail her and her little boy each and every time. The next morning after everything happens she talks so good about him and acts like he is the best boyfriend ever and at this point I am so tired of it. I am so tired of seeing bruises on her and her little boy and knowing there is NOTHING I can do. I'm tired of being there physically and emotionally for her when she's obviously not interested in help. She defends him and blames everything on him being an alcoholic. I could go on and on about everything that has happened but I hope you get the point. I CAN'T do it anymore. I hate hearing how "great" he is and then that night hearing how he stole all her money and broke all her kids toys. I am physically and emotionally drained from this friendship and I do not know how to go about it at this point.

I liked this guy, my best friend, a couple years back, but when I told him I liked him he freaked out and said he needed space, but he eventually ended up blocking me. I was heartbroken and couldn't understand why he would hurt me like that. Add to that, that I was going through a very hard time, since I was sick with anxiety and panic attacks. He knew this, but still blocked me. So I decided to email him a couple of days ago, using a fake email account, so he can give my advice about god and my mom who has cancer, because I saw a video of him saying that he found god. I was feeling guilty that I made my mom worse, because I didn't go to church, like I promised god I would. I mentioned that he did know me, but started to hate me, and stopped talking to me for some reason, and that if he knew who i really was that he would probably block me. He emailed me back a paragraph saying that god is not punishing me and he said in the end, "hate you? Who are you?" I replied to him, telling him that he really hurt me in the past, and that i was afraid to tell him who i was out of fear that he would block me and I said that I didn't want to get upset and cry in front of my mom. I told him if he can at least explain why we couldn't be friends, so i could get some closure and move on, but that i hope that we could be friends again and that I'm sorry for whatever happened. I said that I believe his friendship will really help with dealing with my mom's cancer. I emailed him on Thur. and he hasn't replied back yet. I'm thinking of emailing him next month that my mom's treatment seems to be working, which I learned yesterday! :) Any thoughts? Think he will answer back? Thank you!
