I have known this girl for a few months. We met in one of my classes last semester and talked every now and then, but never exchanged phone numbers or hung out outside of class. Today is the 2nd day of the new semester and we are in the same program so we have all the same classes. She sits next to me in every single one, follows me to get food. Wherever I go, she says "I'll come with you!" She will insist if I say "no" or "you really don't have to." When I mentioned today that I was thinking about heading to the gym on campus, she said she would go with me. When I try to talk to and get to know other classmates she jumps into every conversation and completely takes it over. I don't mind talking to, or having lunch, but again its 2 days in and I'm am already starting to get very annoyed. I want to meet new people and get to know my classmates but am finding it difficult with her constantly there. I am more introverted and avoid confrontation, but I know that if I just avoid it, its not going to solve anything. How can I tell her I need some personal space without being cruel? I don't want to hurt her, and I understand she may just be lonely but I don't have to be her only friend, I want to be able to have a conversation with someone else without feeling guilty about "ignoring" her. Or for not sitting next to her in class. Tomorrow is lab and I know shes going to want to be partners. For me, it's too much.

Please don't take this the wrong way, as I don't wish death on my worst enemy. During my teen years, (I'm a guy, BTW), a girl (about the same age) always talked about me behind my back. I think it was mostly due to the fact that I wasn't "cool." At one point, I somehow found out that she even said that I'm "slow." I know I shouldn't base my opinions based on what I don't know for a fact. But, keep in mind of the following horrendous thing she did to me... While I was sitting on her porch, along with another one of our male neighbors, she was munching on a 25-cent bag of potato chips or whatever, and then went back inside her house. All of a sudden, my neighbor seated next to me said that there was something in the hood of my sweatshirt. Turned out that the girl used my hood as a trash can before she left. It was embarrassing too, because my neighbor basically said that she "played" me, "dissed" me. etc. I still keep in contact with another one of my female neighbors on Facebook, and I noticed that the girl who violated me, is on her friends list. So I checked out her page. After noticing what she has listed as her "occupation," I googled that position, as well as mine. Her starting salary is lower than mine. I've been at my job for a little over seven years. I have no idea how long she's been at hers, but that's enough to keep me satisfied. Am I wrong for feeling this way?

Someone removed/blocked on awhile ago on sc. I noticed bc when I sent them a snap a grey arrow appeared that said "open." But now next to their name a blue box that says received appears. What does that mean? Did they unblock me? Cuz I still don't see them in my friends list.

My friend and I have a hangout planned this weekend, but we don't know what to do. We hang out a lot and have done almost everything together. We've walked the local malls, shopping, sleepovers, movie marathons, driving around town, brunch/dinner, etc. We want to do things we haven't done on a low budget...pleaseeee give me some ideas. Thank you! 😊

I want to buy something, and since I can't drive, my best option seems to be ordering it online. I have a gift card, so money isn't an issue, but I don't know how to get the package to my house without anybody knowing. My parents work during the day, but I have siblings who are at home then. I can't drive to go pick it up somewhere, and I'd need a good excuse for going out even if I could. I also don't want my friends to know what I'm doing, so I can't have it sent to one of their houses. I suppose I could come up with some intricate lie, but that seems risky and I'd rather not have to outright lie to my friends and family. Any ideas?

I used to get bullied from 4th to 8th grade. I only had 2 friends. During that time, I accepted a couple special needs kids with mild speech disorders and aspies (girls mainly) who befriended me. However, I was using their friendship for the meantime. Once the bullying stopped, I made more friends in HS and a better crowd came, I ditched them all. Sometimes I would switch sides and hang out with the more outgoing crowd; kind of like an opportunist. So yeah I wasn't too sweet either. To be honest, if someone else would have gotten bullied, I wouldn't have done anything.

I am a 27 year old female and I have a friend that's 59 and she doesn't think that it's ok for me and her to go months without talking because she likes to check on me because I have gone through a really rough time and well she likes to check on me anyway and she has a couple of other friends that are close to her age that she goes months without talking to them because one of them works in the school system like she does so my friend that i'm talking about goes to her other friend to vent if she's having problems at the school so does all of this seem weird or normal?

so ive been friends with this katy for nearly 4 years & through a mutual friend we met. She instantly became one of my best friends. She had a huge fallout with our mutual friend over some bank fraud (I heard, not sure if its true). We would go to parties, holidays and events together. We were almost inseperable along with this other girl, emily. Katy is a very nice person. But she has been showing her true colours lately and its scary. We went on holiday together she would always walk infront of me and not together and would walk ahead so fast and leave me behind to catch up with her. Sometimes i would loose her. It was rude. Once we went to the club and the atmosphere was just off. Katy slapped my hand when i pointed at someone because she thought it was rude,but she does the same thing. She was just passive aggresive the whole night for NO reason & honestly its because I was getting male attention.Shes never done this before. Her behavior was kinda abusive and scary. Also We went to a street party and she said yes in going with me & my other friends. But on the last day that i reminded her, she said she's going with new ppl and thought I didnt want to go anymore. I didn't even say that! so I went with her and her friends (mine couldnt go no more) but she kept on leaving me behind and I couldnt find her in the crowd. She would wait for others, but me! She did this twice! Whats going on?Its like she didnt want me to go with her in the 1st place! do best friends do that?

Whenever someone tries to bully or pick a fight with me, its always those outcast looking types that are smaller than me that try to do so. Why is that? (I'm 6'1" 200 lbs by the way) . By the way this is with people i DO NOT know (so reputation has nothing to do with it). Thanks in advance.

Some friends and I went out drinking for a 21st birthday and the birthday boy got pretty wasted and was stumbling and what not. He ended up bumping into a guy they essentially wanted to fight and so a bouncer got involved and though my friend was trying to start the fight. No doubt due to how drunk he was. We were telling the bouncer that we would get him out and get him home, but he took it upon himself to grab him and put him in a headlock to drag him out. My friend wasnt fighting or resisting or anything, he could barely stand, but the bounce kinda shoved him out on to the concrete like they do in the movies. I personally have never seen them handle anyone one like that but that's not to say it doesnt happen. My friend got pretty banged up and we all kinda brushed it off but then, this morning we noticed all of the marks and bruises from what happened. The group is kinda devided on what to do. Is this all normal stuff that you just brush off or was the bouncer seriously out of line?

I met a guy at a school party and we chatted for a bit. Now whenever he sees me at school he always says hi and he tried to talk to me once about school. He talked to me last week, and I was surprised that he remembered my name since we last met was few months ago and we only talked for few minutes. Yesterday, I was at the library reading and when I looked up I noticed he was looking at me, so he waved and smiled. Is he trying to be friendly or is he interested?

Two friends of mine are planning on a cartrip to a few countries in Europe they both have stable jobs whereas I m gonna start to study and have almost no money at all and it feels like I need to prioritize other stuff because I already been overseas 2 times this year and I have to afford to buy other stuff but I already started making plans and don t know how to say to them that I can t go anymore because of my financial "stance" in life

I only have 2 close friends (I've known for 5 years) but I feel as though I'm beginning to out grow them. We don't have classes together, and they have given little to no effort to try to talk or hangout outside of school. It's senior year and my parents are really adamant on me making friends, but I'm so exhausted. I've honestly tried, I act confident, I'm polite, I talk about the things the other persons interested in, I do everything right. Though for some reason (one that I must be completely oblivious to) I get nothing back. Years of trying, only to fail, and I'm so tired of rejection. I don't think I fear rejection but more so, am done giving so much effort and receiving so little. I truly don't understand how some people can just so easily connect with others... Should I continue to try? Any advice or tips on how to overcome this? Or is this normal to give up in high school?

Like I feel like all the friends I have I have mischievously and gamishly hated them lightly for my own self confidence. Because it makes me function better. I feel like if I were to just have a normal relationship with them I would feel like so bored. Without the mischief it's no fun. I don't like talk about them behind their backs but I lightly hate them in my head and pretend they can hear it and they say "you can hate me!" I'm like if they knew idk what would happen. But other than that I'm a genuine friend. But I feel so fake for doing that. Am I wrong? Does anyone not play these games no one knows about? Edit: I think people can hear my thoughts so that's where the idea to do it came from...

I have known the guy for several years. We've always been "sex buddies." He's very well endowed, so there were things that we could & couldn't do. I'm sorry if this is tmi, he's never been able to be inside my completely, until tonight. I did invite him over. Not for sex! He ended up forcing himself on & in me. He punched me several times and choked me. In the midst of all of this, my 1 year old daughter was here. That didn't stop him. He didn't care that my baby was there. He didn't care that I was crying. Im embarrassed. I dont want to tell anyone. I am fat and I feel like I should have been able to fight more than I did. But I'm only 5'3 & hes 6'5. He's not fat, but very muscular. I feel like I should have been able to stop it. I can't stop the tears. Or the bleeding. I don't know what my baby thinks. I pray this didn't scare her. Before he left he asked if I still liked him. I didn't answer. Now he's texting and saying he loves me so much. He's always been aggressive, but he's never forced me to have sex. Only ever forced me to do oral. Should I change my number? Or act like nothing happened?

Please take me seriously I'm NOT talking about a GUYS. I'm a girl and I'm starting high school in less than a month and I believe that I will make new friends but when is the right time to ask for someones number? Right away when you meet the person? or should I wait until we get to know each other better?

my crush is dating my best friend, my other best friend has cancer, my mom has arthritis and I'm lonely at school and i feel like i wanna Kill my self to end it all but i don't want to at the same time and no I'm not calling the hotline i need help 😞

I've been invited to stuff with co workers but I don't want to make friends with co workers. I try other ways to meet people and I'm doing fine. I go to a couple bars and met some cool regs and bar staff is good. I want to keep my personal life private.

i just started a new job as a nurse and am so overwhelmed with the work that i have been neglecting getting to know my coworkers. I have tried but i feel awkward and I am so stressed about working that I cant deal with new relationships on top of that. I guess it will come with time but is it really that important to be friends with coworkers?

I posted to someone who I once knew from school that I was lonely at uni and that I had no friends and that people were calling me names. I felt very down and under pressure at Uni when I did, and think that this person is angry at me now. Do you think this is good advice to what I posted, or do you think this person hates me? He responded: First of all you need to chill. You are not a retard. The dictionary definition does not apply to you because you are social and you know how to interact with people. Only you can change your loneliness. Throw caution to the wind. Join a club/society. Ignore those who insult you - you have dealt with worse at school. If you think you have no friends then you are wrong. Look up the definition of friend in a dictionary and apply it to people you know. It s not all about uni work. You need to put yourself out there and friends will come your way. Do you think that this is good advice, or do you think that the person who wrote it now hates me and is angry at me? They initially asked me how Uni was going, and I responded inappropriately, only saying how lonely/friendless I was there. I was suffering from some depression when I responded. Do you think both the way I responded to their message and their response to my (in hindsight) inappropriate response (stressing my loneliness/friendlessness) has made them hate me now? We haven t spoke since. Is this good advice, or is it blunt and are they effectively saying that they hate me now?

I'm a freshman in college. I thought I had made friends with my dorm neighbors (4 of them) but they've all started to exclude me. They all make inside jokes with each other and hang out and talk about personal things but they never address me or let me in on it. It makes me really sad and self conscious because I don't know what I've been doing wrong and I just wanted to fit in and make a good group of friends freshman year, and now that might not happen. I'm just feeling really down and I'm starting to hate myself. One of the girls asked for water one time and I said she could have mine and she asked for anything else because she's a "germaphobe". Then when I said I didn't have anything she drank it without putting it in her mouth. Then the same day we got tea at this one place and the same girl offered the other girls to drink out of it but not me. They also were talking about how their personalities all compliment each other and one girl said "except [my name]". It's making me feel terrible but i have no other people to hang out with. At this point I'm certain I'm just the fifth wheel, I feel like a ghost around them. What makes it worse is that all 4 are roomie pairs and my actual roommate who i was paired with randomly doesn't even like me or talk to me, even when I initiate conversation. I'm just feeling really lonely and I don't know what to do :(

I do have other friends but we don't talk on the phone everyday and they don't call me all the time. I'm very into god and church she's not we always talk about her problems which is okay, but we when get on a subject I like she skips it or starts talking over me or about something else. Also if we start talking about she makes all her being gay or bi because she been judged. I feel like sometimes we have to stop or she'll get mad. I'm recently going through a divorce and have a lot of things going on. My friend is a lesbian or gay or bi we don't hang out at all. So talking everyday kind of weirded me out I don't want her to have a crush on me. We talked about the same stuff over and over and again. Plus she would call repeatedly if I didn't answer. Some times I would have ignore the phone calls. I recently tried explaining to her that I like talking to her as a friend and don't mind talking on the phone everyday maybe once a week for a little. I told her to leave a voice mail once or maybe text I will get back with her. She started crying on the phone. I asked if she was okay she it fine. She understands then hung up the phone. She blocked our friendship through Facebook. Talking everyday was tiring annoying and tiring. I have a lot going on. I guess I thought she would be mature about the situation and understand.
