My roommate moved out a couple of months ago. Instead of packing things himself, he hired movers to do it for him. I always kept a Bluetooth speaker on a bookshelf in the living room. When I went to use it I found it to be missing. My roommate was already gone so I couldn t ask the movers and my roommate didn t know the name of the moving company. I thought maybe the movers accidentally put it in one of the boxes, so I asked my old roommate to look when he had a chance. Two months later, my old roommate finally finished looking through all of the boxes and nothing showed up. It looks as if it was stolen, which was not what I wanted to assume. However, I m not surprised since one of the movers totally trashed my bathroom by taking a shower in it. So, because the movers stole my speaker while my roommate was moving out, should I ask my old roommate to buy me a new one?

So I just wanted to vent really or find out if anyone else feels like this. I find myself to be a awkward person, I'm not sure if other people notice it but when talking to people I always just want the conversation to end because I'm scared I'm being boring or I'll have nothing to say. I always worry about meeting up with people or any kind of socialising because I'm worried that I'll have nothing to say and that makes me anxious. For example, my friend has started this thing where we stay awake until 5am but she always says I should entertain her so she doesn't fall asleep and I panic because I dunno how I'm supposed to find something to talk about for that long because I feel like I'm just boring her. I really hate feeling like this because it's holding me back and I was wondering if you have felt like this what did you do to overcome it? Like, when someone says something to me I'm always worried about how I'm gonna respond to that so I take longer to respond and also don't know how to respond to compliments.

Hello, I've really never done one of these before, but here goes. Last year my mother had passed away due to cancer, she always was a great support, and kindness. But since she passed away my sister has been bullying me around and making fun of me in high school. Now I'm a senior and things are still annoying. Last year it was really bad, she would say something bad about me and the whole class would push me down with comments. I felt that no one had loved me. Of course my faith in God was huge, it felt it wasn't enough. Now that were in the same math class because they didn't have any other one; my sister is constantly making rude comments and everyone just laughs at me or they make fun of me. The teacher wont care and the school says if we fight than we get kicked out, due to the private school. My sister also keeps on threating me saying that the president of the school is best friends with her, and its just annoying. Sorry if my grammar is bad, I'm annoyed.

Me and my bf have known one another since we were practically kids, we met his best female friend when we were in our pre-teen stage because she was the new kid on the block. Recently, in our adult years, the two have remained friends to the point of being best friends. Me and him are certain were gonna be married, have kids, and everything else but I feel iffy about him getting a tattoo with his best friend. He s told me they never had done anything together and he didn t feel romantic feelings for her, but it irks me a little that he s making this kind of big commitment with her but won t even get my name tattooed on him. Am I right to feel irritated or anxious or am I being crazy/jealous?

m a mom of two and work as a lift driver. My kids dad do not help out at all. I have family here and there. I have a friend who is single and I went to see her new home and obviously she has enough room. She has two guest rooms and a loft. I told her my situation and asked if I could stay as I'm facing tough times due to loosing my purse and have to be out in ten days. She keeps avoiding me. I tried to ask if we can hang out at her place so that I can ask in person and she declined. My thing is she has the room. Why isn't she offering to let me stay? We still talk but whenever I bring up the situation she changes the subject. I can go to my moms but her place is only a two bedroom and two hours away which means I have to transport all of our things . Any advice? Should I cut her off as a friend

Edit He is a guy in my school ( a year ahead of me) and we met previously at a 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. 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 friend or is he interested

Alright, first of all, this isn't a troll. I'm putting this on private because I know I'll probably get some backlash-y answers for this. I've been living with my boyfriend for several months, and his best friend and roommate has this best friend that comes over all the time. She's really weird, she dresses like she's in a modestly dressed Lady Gaga music video and she's always doing something odd. I've seldom had conversations with her, but she and my boyfriend have heated debates on everything. But besides that ger forte is art. She's a comic artist and has her own comic book that she ACTUALLY makes money from. She's really smart, and intelligent. It doesn't take a genius to see that. What doesn't make sense is that she's a high school drop out, she makes a fair living, and she's married with her husband on the top floor of a high end apartment, APPARENTLY. I'm almost out of medical school and I still don't have any of that and I don't know what she and my boyfriend are talking about most of the time. How the hell is a high school drop out with only a comic book make so much money and do so well? Aren't drop outs supposed to be like crackheads or something? Sorry this sounds so bitter, I just don't understand.

So almost three years ago I completely cut off my guy best friend, because it made my boyfriend at the time uncomfortable. I felt awful for it. It didn't settle well in my stomach at all, but I did it, because I thought I was keeping my potential soulmate. I was very wrong. We ended things a year and a half later, due to his constant paranoia of me cheating and lack of trust. So when things ended I messaged said guy friend after ghosting him. I wasn't expecting our friendship to rekindle, because I knew I'd messed up. I just messaged to apologize, because I knew I'd done an awful thing and it never settled well with me. We meet in person about a week after I sent the apology (his request). We talk in person for about two hours. All seemed well and like we were working on being friends again. He then messages me a couple days later saying that he doesn't think he can trust me again and that he was still very hurt. So we didn't continue to work on being friends. Then a little over a month after we ended things again, he messages me saying he realized he really did want to be friends because he missed me. But we haven't talked since and that was about 5 months ago. I'm trying to let him have the reigns on how he wants our friendship to go, because I hurt him. I don't know how to start a friendship with someone I hurt, but what do I do? I'm very bad at reading people & situations, so it's hard to know what to do in this case. Does he want to be friends again? Or do I leave it be?

I have been at school for 4 days now and it seems like most people have at least paired up or found a small group of friends. Orientation already occurred, and I didn't make friends in my group because I have anxiety, so I was always out of my comfort zone. I even sent out a text today to my hall mates asking to get lunch and no one responded, so I never ate cuz I'm so lonely. I like my roommate and everything but she is in choir so she's already connected with people with similar interests. I thought I would have no problem making friends in college because I had so many in high school. I feel like I've done all the little things (like keeping my door open, talking to people in classes, always saying hi in the hallway). I just feel so alone... I don't know what to do. Please help.

Learned recently I should be wearing glasses to drive? I didn't know before but it explains why I couldn't see the turns lol

I expressed to my friend that I wanted to go into the city weeks ago, and they know I've been wanting to go. There was also an exhibition that I really wanted to go to. This may seem unrelated, but I'm also weaning off anxiety medication, so I've been feeling really crappy, low and lonely. So, my friend decided to go into the city -- without me -- & with their significant other instead, citing that they just wanted to be alone. Later I find out that they met up w people anyway & went to the exhibition I wanted to go to, and posted about it all over social media. A few days later my friend says "maybe we can hang tmo". I say ok. This person is usually busy, but I'm constantly working around THEIR schedule, if THEY'RE tired, if THEY'RE doing this and that. And this person doesn't like to be on a schedule, so they often wait until last min to cancel/accept plans. Tmrw comes. I ask what's happening today. They say IDK, and I ask them if they could just pick a time so I know what I'm doing & can plan around it. They won't give me one cuz they don't want to be on a schedule, but this person constantly does this. Makes me sit around & wait all day for an answer, & usually it's them just cancelling on me. It's like they dont respect my time at all, it's all about what they want to do. I am expected to mold to their timeline. Am I going crazy, or is this person treating me not right? Don't you think this is rude? I just need validation -- cuz often times I don't know. Thanks. Keep in mind, this person is actually my best friend. But I'm just starting to have doubts if I'm being treated fairly.

I've had these neighbors for around 12 years and I truly love them as people more than just my neighbors. I'm only 20, and I'm particularly close with the lady who's around 40, I know the age gap for a friendship is kind of large but we just get along really well and I often house/dog sit, watch the kids, and we just generally help each other out a lot. So I'm not only close to her, but also the kids and dog. We'll be about 40 minutes away max, but it's hard to think about not being able to simply see them everyday outside and have those conversations. Has anyone had to deal with this or have tips on how to?

Is it meant for some people to have friends if they have social problems?

Tell me about it

I'm a 27 year old female and I have had social problems with making friends and keeping them ever since I was little and I still really struggle in this area to this day and I am tired of struggling with it. I want to have friends and I do have some but not many at all because I just ended a friendship with a person I have been friends for awhile. She was not respecting me and I even gave her another chance but she messed up again and some of the things she was saying to me were making me feel really uncomfortable and I have been hurt a lot in the past. I also have been beginning to question with the friends I have now if they really like me or not even though it seems like they do. I have talked to my therapist about this but she just doesn't say much about it at all and I really need some help in this area so can someone please give me some advice?

Please don't take this the wrong way, as I have the utmost compassion for others. I'm just trying to explain this situation for the sake of advice. My dear friend's mom passed away, and he is currently married. His wife, as opposed to my friend/his ex mentioned above, is very pretty. According to the ex, he has been ignoring her texts, which she obviously meant in the "too busy" sense. But sadly, I think he is literally ignoring her. She told me that she saw him one day while out and about, to which she read a poem to him who she wrote about, regarding how much she pined for him back in JHS. The poem also mentions her having asked him to their school's Sweetheart dance which he told her he was already going with someone, and that he'll let her know. While that poem was obvious he was letting her down easy, it states otherwise from her point of view. Therefore, I can imagine how awkward it was for him to listen to that poem, because not only is he married AND not attracted to her, but it's his wife's job to stroke his ego, not hers. So I think his ex cluelessly went overboard and embarrassed herself. Did I do the right thing by not telling her that his mom died? I didn't want to risk the possibility of her asking me where the services will be held, as I'm certain he would not want her there, especially due to awkwardness because of his wife. Again, I do NOT mean any harm here. But I was in a tough situation where I didn't want to hurt anybody. FYI, it was just "puppy love" where they dated for five minutes, so to speak.

Does he regret breaking up with her? Why is my friend doing this? He dated a girl for 7 months and then broke up, he said we aren't right for each other and we will be happy for other people. Next day, he said to her he was unhappy in relationship but unhappy with break up. He kept on checking if she was online on social media on valentines and sometimes he'd check, why does he do this?

People bully me all day. They won't stop. Nobody does anything about it. I can't do anything about it. I don't know what to do. Nothing works.

Personally I am an open book. I don't expect everyone to be like that and I don't expect my friends to tell me everything about everything. But one of my friends has had some big moments happen to her, and I am the last to find out. Apparently she had been dating a guy for almost 18 months and the other week she comes from nowhere and says she is engaged to get married next year. And she is moving in a couple of months. I had no idea she was seeing someone, let alone that they were that serious. I had no idea that she had found a new job and is going to move. In a way I feel hurt. Here I am sharing about my life, thinking I know her, when apparently I don't know anything about her. She doesn't have to share every detail about her, but she could share the big moments. Am I wrong to think that maybe we're not as good friends as I initially thought and our friendship is more or less over?

what do i do if melora isn't any of my classes i want to make up with her

My best friend and I are both straight and I'm still straight even after I had a hot dream of us messing around after she made the first move. Sometimes she gives me the kind of look that seems like she's curious and wondering if she's interested in doing it. It's hard to tell.

I do know that the meaning of Acquaintance is someone you know at least, but not a close friend. I always say hello to my neighbor men often like asking each other how's everything going so and so.. at least I do know his name but not very close friends at least... Is neighbor be a good example of Acquaintances???

So my friends really clingy but she's still my friend like for instance she always wants to hold hands when we go skating, or she always sits too close to me, and has little nicknames for me so she acts like I'm her girlfriend and if she likes me and that's the case I tell her that I'm 100 percent straight and do not like girls and would never date one and she'll make a joke that makes me upset or something and she acts gross sometimes. Like for instance I was at her house and we were spending the night the next day in the afternoon she kept putting eyeliner on her hand and kept smacking me with it and I asked her to stop multiple times and I told her that it hurt but she kept doing it and kept laughing even though she knew I was serious so then she licked the top of my phone and I asked her "Did you just lick my phone?" and she responded "yeah" and kept laughing and I said "Can you not do that please that's disgusting and there has been so many times that I've dropped it or let someone hold it" and she then kept laughing and started making fun of people with ADHD. She got me to transfer over to her school but things that she does really make me upset or if I try to talk to her about it she just makes a comment about someone or says something racist. I don't want to not be her friend because all of her friends are my friends and I've also had good memories with her I've known her for 4 years but she just has no regard for some people and I dislike that she's racist sometimes.

Basically what happened was that my cousin is a spoiled princess, and I said no to what she wanted because of a logical reason. She wanted to use my student number and my name to register her car for a parking pass. I said no, because it violates the student handbook. Plus, she can use literally a parking garage for commuting students to park her car. She went absolute crazy after I said no. She sent me a very mean and harsh message on snapchat, saying that "you're an evil person/cousin, you are invisible to me, don't ever talk to me. You are not allowed to be around my mom, my brothers, or myself." Well... anyways. I left that on "read." And I wasn't expecting to see her for a while after that message. Unfortunately, we were just placed into the same Chemistry class. So I have to see her. I sent her a message saying, "Hey, I know you hate me and I'll respect your decision of not wanting to speak to me again, but I'm hoping we can be civil and professional considering we do have class together this semester. Wish you the best." She responds with, "You're evil, so I don't ever want anything to do with you." Um... what the heck am I supposed to do at this point? I left her on "read" again, but I have to see her tomorrow. Help.(have screenshots of our messages if you would like to see
