So basically I could have gotten my permit in August but here I am a year later in August and I am just now going to get my permit. The reason was I felt very scared of driving and the responsibility that came with it, I think it was my low confidence that had to fo with it, but I don't know. I feel really bad now because now that I am officially ready to take this step, it's been so long and all my friends will end up getting their license way before me. I feel like a huge loser:(

I understand it by now. I'm annoying. You don't have to tell me. Everyone else that I thought was close to me already did. My best friend that I thought would be my best friend even when we went to different schools told me. You don't know the pain it felt. I cried myself to sleep. I couldn't make any noise though since I sleep with one of my siblings. I had to keep it to myself while crying. I couldn't express the way I feel to anyone. I thought I should change. I thought I did, but I was wrong. Next year of school. One of my close friends meant a different girl. I hunged out with them though. They were nice. Until they showed me their true side. My close friend ditches me for a different group and she talks behind my back. Her friend hangs out with me, but she is mean and rude. I thought I was less annoying. I changed how I act because of my "best friend" comment. But the word came back to me. She said, " Describe me in one word". I said," I honestly don't know". She responded, " I would've described you as annoying.". I cried again. The word keeps coming back no matter if I am myself or try to change how I act.

We all know that one family or friend who just can't grow up and you just cant hold back on disappointment and frustration towards. My friend is 37 years old and just lost his random odd job of delivery service for fast food and grocery. I'm sure he lost his job because he smokes A LOT of weed, yes even when driving and doing his job. He's been homeless at least twice that I've known of and is known by everyone to just whine and never accept fault. So when I texted the group to meetup, he replied back that he can't because he has no gas money. It's like, you're 37 years old, and you literally have no backup money to even buy gas? He has no kids and does not own a place. He simply just rents a room off someone from craigslist. So when I told him he really needs to save his money instead of pissing it away on weed, he to no ones surprise got defensive instead of admitting fault and accepting change. Told me he had money saved up! that's how he survived the past 3 weeks of being unemployed. Mind you, this guy is simple minded so having enough money saved up for past 3 weeks means he had enough money to buy some cheap fast food and maybe some instant noodle. I know he had maybe $300 saved up at 37. Spent anywhere from $100-$150 weekly just on weed. Would you have been sympathetic towards him or would you have confronted his pattern of always being on the verge of being homeless cause his priorities are that of a teenager. Weed and games over savings for rainy days.

My "boyfriend" and I have known each other for close to a year. We ve been off and on for about 8 months. The last time, I told him I felt like a convenience to him. He told me he wanted to "make it up to me." Since then, my birthday recently came and went and he didn t know. I never mentioned it previously as I think it is tacky to promote one s own bday. I spent my bday with friends, but it hurts that it went unacknowledged by him. I am disappointed (again). Not once during the year he s known me has he ever concerned himself with when my bday was. Meanwhile, I got him a bday gift back in February (he had a big poker tournament on his bday and that s how the subject of his own bday naturally came up). In the past few months he has participated in bday celebrations for his best friend s wife, his former boss s wife s, and even discussed with me not long ago what he was planning for his young son s bday. Just 3 days before my bday he was talking to me about how he unsuccessfully tried to get a certain bday gift for one of his employees. After my bday weekend passed (I let him know that it passed), I ended it with him. He apologized for missing my bday. He said he didn t know (which is true) and asked me how he could make it up to me, but I have given up on him. We have been off and on for a reason and not just because of this. Do you think I m being too hard about this? Basically, I always feel like an afterthought to this man.

I am a 27 year old female and I have a friend that is 59 and me and were talking about night clubs and I told her that I have thought about going to one because I have never been to one and she knows that I am developmentally delayed but I am very high functioning that no one can really tell that I am that and she said that people would take advantage of me if I went there and then she told me about her sister that's really low functioning and how I think she used to go to those and how I guess they would take advantage of her so was my friend being negative to me when she said that they would do that to me? Or was she trying to tell me I shouldn't go to those?

My friend is jealous of me that I love my job and get really good raises and get along with most of the people there and have a good time. My friend recently got a job at target and that's all she has been talking about. She keeps on saying she is making more than me a bunch of times and that her company is worldwide. I'm happy for her that she got another job but she keeps on bragging it to just me and when there are other people around she will lash out even louder how much she makes and the people around her look at her really weird. Ever since she got this job she texts me about the target job nonstop and even person. How come she is doing this all of a sudden? Shouldn't normal people just get a job and do there work and that's it?

A few months ago I was involved in a toxic relationship. It all ended when he ultimately put his hands on me, broke my cell phone and dragged me out his house. The first person I told was my best friend at the time. Immediately she took me to the police station to file a report. I was supposed to do a follow up the next day to press charges. As i spoke to the police, he explained the court process and that pressing charges would take some time. I felt overwhelmed. My anxiety is already bad enough so I decided to drop the charges. my best friend was disappointed in me. She slowly started to distance herself and completely cut me off recently. She doesn't respond to my texts anymore. We only watch each other's Snapchat stories. I feel so devastated. She was my closest friend, the first friend I made in college. I completely regret not pressing charges on that boy. I feel like I'm being punished for the repercussions. I need advice on how to move forward without my best friend. Every now and then I can't help but cry thinking about how she just dropped me out her life.. I truly feel heartbroken.

I have a friend now who helped me when I was in a dark time and paid for a school bill and car insurance for me when I was looking for a job after resigning after 4 years. I only owe him 972 as opposed to 1280 but before that I knew him through running into him at a church, he worked at the same company as me but as a pharmacist and my good friend/neighbor is like a non blood cousin to him. He always messaged me after adding me on Facebook two years ago and I was hesitant as every time I would see him he'd talk my ear off and I had toxic friends in the past I had to get rid of. I figured hey I'll do something different and text him/go from there. He is a pharmacist at the company. He would take me, occasionally my neighbor or mutual friends he worked with to games & pay for everything. He says money isn't a thing but the issue is, he has has former relationships/friendships which ended as people insinuated that an older man late thirties helping and always hanging out with lates teens/early 20's was weird. My friend J had the cops called on him as he kept wanting closure from ended friendships. He lacks boundaries and always wants to hug and say he's proud of me while getting close to my face and looking me in the eyes saying I love you brother. He isn't malicious and there are no reports on him but it feels like this pseudo homosexual relationship and idk if I need to have a friendship that close as I already have a gf. Some insight is appreciated.

So my best friends know I had I have suicidal thoughts anf tried to kill myself.. But none of them seem to be worried about me.. They hardly ever check up on me or ask me if I want to hang out.. Sometimes I feel like they hate me and actually want me dead...

a friend made plans to become my lover, he seduced me in phone conversations and emails for months and months and then when it came to getting together and actually putting words into actions he changed his mind about it with me twice. I thought I was okay with it and I tried to just sweep it under the rug and forget about it but I am starting to realize that this may have upset me more than I even realized. Am I right to be upset by his flighty actions towards me? Would it upset others too? and possibly cause a bit of emotional damage like I think it may have done with me now? or does it sound like I am over-reacting? will give a best answer

I barely thought of this until I saw him again. Basically, this boy Justin transferred to my middle school but we didn't talk until our last year. At first,we argued a lot but somehow became friends and he gave me this cute nickname he'd use the rest of the year, his friends who I've known forever later told me he liked me. I ignored it and nervously laughed it off. We didn't talk much after that, until a month later he went right back to teasing/tickling,etc all the time. Fast forward to high school, Justin texted me one night, congratulating me on something I hadn't told him about which surprised me because it happened earlier that day and we go to different schools now so I don't know how he found out. Weeks later he saw me at an event and me, being me basically told him to back off when he kept trying to talk to me and get me to go with him (long story). I felt like crap after.Finally he just said goodbye and left and we stopped talking. Now, after a year,I saw him again in a store (we're sophs now), so I decided to say hey. He wouldn't look at me, and snapped that he was fine when I asked how he was. Then he turned away to talk to his mom. We were always just good friends and I'm pretty sure he dated a girl after so I thought he'd be a little nicer. I'm not even sure what I'm asking honestly, I think I just need to let it out since I'm not really the type to ask my friends about this mushy stuff. I've liked other boys since, it's just..with Justin Inever really knew.

to buy a sandwich.And my mother bought me cheap clothes.I was sad and isolated.I studied to forget I had no money and no friends...

I used to date a musician a few years ago. He was really into me but it didn't go well and I cut it off. I found out he later released an album that he wrote and sang. One song stuck out to me because the lyrics were similar to my experience with him. Also the first letter of 3 of his song titles spell out my full initials. And 1 song title is basically my last name but missing one letter. I won't ask him because we haven't spoken in years and it would awkward. So I'm asking if you think I was inspiration for one of his songs?

I would like some way to make my visitors feel uncomfortable when they come over so they dont stay too long. Friends, family, strangers, etc. What is the best way to do this without appearing rude? I have tried not cleaning my house but it gets uncomfortable to me as well after a while Im a man in his 30s Im talking less than 5 minutes most of the time

My closest friend and I don't really feel like best friends anymore, and I don't even have a problem with that. Our interests are different, our personalities are different, and we've kind of grown apart. And I'm completely okay with that. We have mutual friends, who I keep in contact with via text. But they are so insanely DRY with their text messages that I am tired of making an effort for all these years. There's only so much I say to an "Lol" or "Yeah" response. Is it silly of me to let go of my 5 year friendship? Have you ever felt similarly when you drift apart from friends?

We had been friends for years and I didn't even do anything wrong. My girlfriend cheated on me so I broke up with her and all of our mutual friends turned against me and sided with her (for some unknown reason). I never hurt my ex girlfriend, I never did anything wrong, and I lost basically all my friends because I broke up with her because she cheated on me It just always seem that women make the man out to be the bad guy in a breakup, even if he did nothing wrong

When we hang out it is with another mutual friend. He barely talks to me and when he does it's usually sarcastic and he doesn't look in my face at all...like almost never. But he acts nornal with our friend. And when I am talking, he looks away and turns his head or body to face away from me as if he wants to make it known he can't hear me or something. Maybe he hates me, is passive aggressive?
