Joe: One time he saw Rebecca at a department store, Joe wanted to catch up with Rebecca but she arrogantly told Joe she was in a hurry and storms off. Joe just took it as if she was having a bad day because he remembered Rebecca being a really nice girl. Then a few months later Joe saw Rebecca and her friend at another department store, Joe wanted to keep in touch with Rebecca, while doing so Rebecca sends her friend to get an employee to tell Joe to leave them alone, while Joe was trying to catch up with Rebecca an employee goes up to Joe and requests him to leave Rebecca alone, Joe then asks Rebecca if he could finish the conversation, Rebecca arrogantly tells him no and that he needs to get going, she was totally smiling when she saw Joe get humiliated and treated like a little child because she couldn't stand him. Joe then starts telling Rebecca's other friends that he's very concerned about her and asks them if Rebecca is okay in hopes of getting lots of information about her. Most of them just ignore Joe but one friend lets Joe know that Rebecca is a very reclusive person because she's in the middle of a divorce with her husband and she hasn't been in high spirits lately, she also tell Joe that Rebecca doesn't feel comfortable having conversations with people who she isn't close to. Joe then tells her friend he would like to apologize to Rebecca for what happened at the store that caused her friend to ask one employee to tell Joe to leave her alone. Rebecca's friend tells Joe that she would let her know that Joe wants to apologize to her for what happened, Rebecca then tells her friend to tell Joe she doesn't want to communicate with him anymore because she thinks Joe is a manipulative, passive aggressive person, when Joe realized the truth on how Rebecca feels about him it inspired Joe to change for the better.

I felt depressed with them, not anymore.

So my friend has started acting strange. He used to be the happiest person I knew he was always singing and making jokes and starting conversations with me and making everyone laugh and smile. Fast forward the summer holidays and he's skipping school, walking straight past me in the halls, always looking moody and been generally secretive. When I directly speak to him he seems to kinda go back to his old self but he doesn't speak unless spoken to. I'm really worried about him but I'm not friends with any of his other friends so I can't ask if they've noticed the change. Any suggestions?

My friend showed my the test messages that I had sent her to other people. There was nothing bad in the messages. I didn't insult anyone, or gossip. I was a simple text about me complaining about something. I didn't think she would show it to others. This made me not want to text her anymore. Is it normal to show texts to others? Do you show texts to other friends? The friend of this friend came told me she saw my text and i felt so bad.

My friends (guy and girl) started dating each other and I haven't seen them in a long time. Recently, my guy friend invited me to his roomies party and honestly i'm debating on going. Parties already make me anxious and I don't have anyone to go with so I would just show up by myself. Because I haven't seen them in a while, I already feel like a stranger and it would just be awkward. I don't wanna feel lonely in a group of people if that's the case I rather just be alone with myself.Do you think I should go to the party?

I made up a story and everything I just feel so bad and dont know how to tell them the truth or if they ll even accept an apology. I was in a bad spot mentally when I made this story up but im better now and I realize how unhealthy lying is.

My friend keeps saying this and then runs away!! WHY??

My Bestfriend has been acting very weird lately and it makes me feel uncomfortable one day I spent the night out at my Bestfriend house and we was getting ready to go out and get dress when I got dress and put on my outfit my Bestfriend was staring at me when I wasn't looking and in my opinion it was in a bad way she suddenly starts getting random attitudes like omg I need clothes I don't know what to wear she then keep changing from clothes to clothes like she's trying to upstage me I told her what she had on was pretty she then replied ewwww no it's not this doesn't look right. Also my Bestfriend mother complimented me but my Bestfriend didn't that day and normally she compliments me but not that day. Also lately my Bestfriend been having smart reactions after everything she says she once told me a story and kept repeating it to me I told her politely I heard you the first time you don't have to keep repeating it she shouts out well I'm just making sure because you don't be listening that is a big lie because sometimes when I talk about my situations she doesn't listen or just skips what I'm saying and just go on about her stories also another time me and her went out we both looked beautiful she then looks at me again but not in a nice way and she just starts saying omg I look so fine today she just kept boating about herself and not giving me props she used to but not anymore what should I do ? She's a good friend but she starting to get to me help ?

I am an above average looking guy.I look way better than most of boys in school. I do have to deal with a lot of bullying....not because of my looks.....but because I'm an easy target and i can't assertively stand up them......or maybe it's because my interests are different from them.....or maybe it's because they don't like me. So I'm mostly by guys who less attractive than me and bad looking guys.So being bullied obviously hurts a lot......So when i get bullied i tell myself that atleast i look better than them....and feel superior that way and make myself feel better. But what do i do if I'm bullied by someone who is much better than me......Then how will i make myself feel better?

I I met a guy at a school party and we talked for a bit few months ago. Now whenever he sees me at school he always says hi and he tried to talk to me once about school work. He is always well aware if I am around him. He also 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 a bit. Yesterday, I was at the library reading and when I looked up I noticed he was looking at me, so he waved and smiled and I waved back. Is he trying to be nice /friendly or is he interested?

I have been feeling really insecure and like i try too hard around my friends. My best friend and I just "broke up" and I don t feel close enough or like I can/want to be close enough with any of my other friends. What do I do?

Before my success, I had many friends. But, now, A lot of good things are starting to happen in my life and I'm starting to become a little more popular than usual. But my friends are starting to distance themselves from me. Did I do anything wrong by becoming successful. A lot of my friends seem shy now to talk to me and I don't know now why. I'm still the same Person, just trying to aim high. Help me understand this situation for other successful people out there.

Okay so in eighth grade I was friends with this one girl and we were best of friend, and I had agreed to be in her court at the time when she asked me to. Well we went to the same high school, but had different classes and interest. I tried to keep the friendship going as long as I could, but it got tiring. Any time she said she wanted me around she would ignore me and talk to her new friends she met at school. Long story short the quince is soon and I don't know what to do. Yes, I know I made the commitment, but that was before I saw this side of her and honestly I don't feel into the friendship anymore and I am tired of tiring to keep it going.

Idk What to do about a "Friend" No one in my group of friends likes her (except my GF). She's really pushy, and assumes that everyone's her best friend, and refuse to ever admit that she's ever done anything wrong and gets really pissy whenever we get annoyed at her for anything But we don't want to just kick here out Help??

So, I have this friend that I met in college a few years ago. He's really sweet, and I think he's a great friend. But, despite that we only see each other maybe twice a year (we live 800 miles apart) and only talk on the phone once in a blue moon, he thinks we're as close as two people could be. As a matter of fact, he's in love with me, and goes on these emotional tangents about his feelings for me and how close he thinks we are every time he talks to me. It's getting to a point where I dread seeing him and dread picking up the phone when he calls. This has been going on for a few years now. And I have made it clear to him that I am only interested in friendship, but he still goes on these emotional spills about his feelings when he talks to me. I also might want to mention he's a little "slow". So that might have something to do with his repeated emotional spills. Again, I think he's very sweet, but I just don't return his feelings. And I don't want to cut off the friendship because 1) He's a good friend and 2) I'm worried he might harm himself (he feels that deeply for me. As a matter of fact he indicated to me that he'd hurt himself if we were to stop being friends). But we can't go on like this. What can I do?

If we're talking about: you are a single adult male, and you want nice things(similar to all adult males): fast cars, and big houses. You have attracted the attention of some very wealthy single females, but they don't want to ever invite you over, or introduce you to what their real life is like. You need a car, but nobody will buy it for you, or even be your cosigner. Average middle classed girls are different, because we're definitely talking about the superrich. It can become hurtful, because: I am becoming a form of amusement for them, and a victim of harassment. Like I said, since they're not averagely financed, they have all possibilities to fulfill my financial needs. Is it okay to deny somebody until that woman spends a few million dollars on me? Wealthy people have to take care to avoid being a bully, after all... And I just think it's insane if I made a baby with some rich person, and I honestly don't even know where she even lives. It's like a divorce where the mother gets full custody with no visitation. And I feel like I am a qualified person to raise my own children.i don't want to give away custody of my possible future children. And obviously there would be plenty of financial benefits to marrying someone like Taylor Swift, or Ariana Grande.

I feel like a new recruit for the other team! I actually found myself matching my socks together after washing last night! I NEVER do that

I have a high functioning Autistic 12 year old daughter, let's call her "Alexis". She has trouble making friends because she has trouble with eye contact and other social skills. Well, one of my friends had a party yesterday, and my friend also has a 12 year old daughter, let's call her "Jenna". Jenna doesn't have any special needs. I told Alexis about my friend having a daughter her age and her face immediately lit up. She doesn't really have any friends, so she was really excited to meet Jenna and make a new friend. She REALLY looked forward to meeting Jenna. The party was yesterday, and when we got there, I introduced Alexis to Jenna and it went well. Jenna was really nice to Alexis at first and the two girls seemed to get along. Alexis told her that she was Autistic and asked her if she knew what Autism was, and Jenna responded saying "Yeah. I know what Autism is. There was a boy with Autism in my class 2 years ago.". Jenna had a few of her friends over, also Alexis' age, and Alexis asked to hang out with them. Jenna nicely said to her "Sure, you can hang out with us!", but she didn't sound very genuine when she said it. Still, Alexis was very happy because she felt like she finally fit in. After that, when Alexis tried to talk to the girls and socialize with them, they wouldn't even acknowledge her. She was being nothing but nice to them and she did absolutely nothing to them, but they excluded her, they ignored her when she tried to talk to them and they wouldn't answer her when she asked them questions. She got shunned simply because she wanted to make new friends! For example, Alexis loves the show Stranger Things. The girls were having a conversation about Stranger Things and Alexis said to them "I love Stranger Things too!" and even asked them "Who's your favorite Stranger Things character?", but they completely ignored her and wouldn't answer her question. Also, Alexis complimented one of the girls, let's call her "Abby", on her shirt, but Abby didn't say thank you or even respond. This really hurt Alexis. To top it all off, the girls were staring at their phones almost the whole time. Alexis isn't addicted to her electronics like most people these days. She also loves to read, draw and play with slime, and she knows to put her phone down when interacting with people. During the party, Alexis came to my husband and I in tears and told us everything. She was in such distress, and it hurt to see the look on my poor daughter's face. She was really upset! My husband and I were enjoying ourselves, but Alexis just sat by herself, bored, for the rest of the party. A day later, she's still traumatized and upset, and she won't stop talking about what happened yesterday and how those girls made her feel. She couldn't even fall asleep last night due to how upset she was. And now she's putting herself down and saying things like "I'm so stupid!", "What's wrong with me?" and other negative comments about herself. She has always had really bad social anxiety, and I hate to see her confidence go down like this! She's such a sweet girl and would never hurt or be mean to anyone! She even likes to do things for people to make them feel good, and she even said recently that she wants to volunteer at the homeless shelter (we're in the process of looking for volunteer opportunities for her). She is one of the most selfless people I know, and most people she meets absolutely adore her. She stepped outside of her comfort zone JUST to talk to those girls, which I'm really proud of her for. What can I do to cheer her up? I know she's going to hold a grudge over this for a really long time. She's telling me to tell Jenna's mom (my friend who had the party) about her hurt feelings and make her apologize, but I don't want to go backlashing on my friend about her own daughter's behavior and ruin my relationship with her. She's even asking me if she can get together with Jenna one-on-one when she's not hanging out with her other friends to see if she'll pay attention to her then, but our daughters are already 12! They're not little kids anymore and they're perfectly capable of dealing with this kind of stuff on their own. Despite what happened yesterday, Alexis still REALLY wants to be friends with Jenna. She believes that if one of my friends has a kid her age, she has to be friends with that kid or else she feels lost. I've tried telling her that Jenna is not a good friend and that it's not her problem she got ignored, it's Jenna's problem, but she still has her heart set on being friends with her. How can I help Alexis? Thank you so much for taking the time to read this! We truly appreciate it.

I am a college senior. A friend of mine Mary a world class beautiful woman told me her 15 year old daughter Nancy was failing in some subjects in school ask if I could tutor her. I readily agreed. I went to her house 2 nights a week and to tutor her. The tutoring must have worked as she raised her grades to a B+ in her classes. Nancy and I became good friends. After the tutoring was completed she told me "You would make a great dad, would you marry my mother". I thanked her for the complement and did not think any more about it until Mary also told me that I would make a great dad. Then she jokingly (I think) told me "If you were my age, I would be proposing marriage to you. WOW. I am not sure how I feel about this. Mary is at least 15 years older than I am but it sure is an ego boost the have a woman as beautiful as Mary is tell me what she did even if she was joking. She would make any guy a trophy wife. Am I living in a dream world to think she might have an interest in dating me. Do women EVER date much younger men?
