I'm really curious about one of my friends. Her and I used to hang out all the time a year ago and have no problems with each other. But now I have transferred out of her school and now she is all by herself with no friends. I have transferred to a university to finish my last year. She keeps on yelling at me, even hitting me. She'll only hang out when it is capable for her to hang out but when I am in class she'll tell me to leave an hour early which I did not do and I said no and she got mad and still kept asking if can hang out when I specifically told her I couldn't I am in class. Whenever we do hang out it's only what she wants to do and she makes me drive her around to do her chores and then she wants to go home. We don't even do fun stuff anymore. She never acted like this a year ago but now all of a sudden she has to get what she wants all the time. She also fails her classes to. She does three classes but drops one of them towards the end of the semester. She also keeps on saying her day at school is hell and there was a lot of **** going on. She has nothing positive to say anymore. She cries wolf every day and I always seem to expect there is something wrong but there isn't when she cries wolf. She also cries out of know where too and that's really embarrassing. She'll start crying because one person has one thing that she doesn't have because my friend wants it. Do you guys know why she is acting like this; she's becoming a spoiled brat all of a sudden?

I'm not exactly popular. Never leave house except for school. Created snapchat acc 24 hours ago. 3 people have added me as friends, one guy I'm sort of friends with, one person whose name sounds extremely familiar and one random girl who I'm sure I don't know. Why is this?

A) "She wanted to see how you were doing. She was worried about you" after one complains how her cousin intruded on her while she needed rest & privacy B) "Because you're bothering him, honey!" after one complains how her enemy in school is encouraging others to shun her & breaking up her friendships C) "He was joking around!" after one complains how her neighbor taunted her D) "He was only a baby. You should've just given him the pillow!" after one complains how her cousin scratched her cheek while trying to steal it from her & it left a scar E) "It's her job to keep you healthy!" after one complains how the nurse gave him a shot because he found it so painful F) "She didn't want you to be bullied!" after the victim asserts to his interlocutor that berating him for failing to *fight back* constitutes victim-blaming and/or telling one to *fight back* is something you should never say to a bullied teen Are these examples of defending or supporting something unpopular or controversial? Or are they just helping the complainer see the other side of the story? Does saying those things make someone a person who defends something that's criticized, unpopular, or controversial? I'd accept a yes or no for an answer.

Last night, I decided to go out drinking and none of the other lads wanted to, so I went by myself and ended up getting proper wasted. I dont remember much from the night but I literally woke up on a strangers sofa.  Apparently, this random bloak says I was struggling, completely out of it and I wasnt making sense so he offered to take me home but I couldnt remember, or wouldn't tell him, the address so he brought me to his place and I just crashed on his sofa.  I thought it was pretty nice of him lookin out and all, but my roommate thinks it was weird and inappropriate. I dunno. I figured at least he wanst some weirdo or something like that. I mean he offered me coffee and a ride home and all that too but I just took an uber. It was awkward but I just thanked him and went on my way.

My best friend of 20 years is like a sister to me. We've supported eachother and been sooo close since we were kids. I alway knew we'd practically kill for eachother. She is even letting me stay w her for no charge and helping letting me use her car and loaning me money since I had a house fire and my husband left me as I get back on my feet. However I recently confirmed she's been snooping through my room (a spare room I stay in on her house) and stealing from me. She even laughs about it w other friends (she was stupidly bragging about it and the friend was so disturbed she told me and I caught her several times on my web cam). I am soooo in shock. Most people I would confront or just Walk away but I'm REALLY disturbed to find out soemonen I KNEW SO WELL FOR SO MANY YEARS COULD BE SUCH A COLD HEARTED TWO FACED PERSO.. but then I feel bad cuz look at all she's doing for me!!

She annoys me and picks her nose.

Am I a bad person if I don't like some of my relatives? I don't get along with some of them and I honestly don't like them much. Is that a bad thing?

We've been friends for three years and would do anything for eachother, we're always kind to eachother but all of my best friends act all mean and bully a lot of the other kids at our school, they don't bully me they just bully the school "nerds" if I do leave them though I have nobody I can hang out with at school, I've tried being friends with many other people but nothing worked, What do I do

My neighbor's cousin's baby is dead. She now has a 3 month old named Goumpy

every since kindergarten i was always strange. i have been shy and had a hard time making friends. social anxiety has always made it hard to talk to people. attractiveness does not make everyone like you like everyone seems. to be honest, i consider my self to be pretty. i am asian and have an average body and a good personality, i wouldn't consider myself hard to approach because i am very friendly. i have made some friends every once in a while, but they come and go. this could be because of me moving places or them moving on from me. i now started becoming more talkative and decided to start fresh and approach others at my new school. i only made one friend and today she already replaced me and doesn't want to eat with me anymore. it's already the 4th week of school and i have no friends. it's been like this all the time so here's my question, was i meant to be alone?

Please be blunt.

Long story short, he's always been kind of a jokster/clown and a few weeks ago I was in a pretty bad mood and he was there so I took my anger out on him. He got upset, which led to a fight and I kinda lost control. I was choking him on the ground and when he managed to sit up a little I blacked out slammed his head back down on the pavement. At some point he lost consciousness and someone had to pull me off him. I wasnt trying to actually hurt him or anything, just got a bit carried away. He was in the hospital for a couple days for monitoring and when I went to see him and he didnt want me there. Since then, we've hung out and stuff and he says we're good but he isnt nearly chill or jokeful as he used to be. He's gotten super serious and pretty emo even. I've apologized tons of times and he says he forgives me and all, no hard feelings or whatever but his personality has changed so much, I just want things to go back to how they were. I mean I obviously cant go back in time, but I'm at a loss. I feel like i lost a close friend even though we do still hang out and stuff.

As a kid, I had tons of friends and it wasn't an issue. Around 5th grade, I started noticing that I had no clue how to make friends besides walking up and asking if someone wanted to be friends. I didn't really make any new friends from middle school on. As I switched schools, went to high school, and went off to college, I had very few friends. There were a handful of people I might talk to politely in class, but no one I was close with. Senior year of high school, I met my boyfriend, who is still my boyfriend, and he is the only person outside my family I would consider a real friend. I was in a sorority in college, but I wasn't very close with most of my sisters. It always felt like all the other girls had their "squads" and I was a distant friend to a few people here and there, but I never really belonged to any of the groups. I didn't hang out with people much at all outside sorority events and class. Now I'm out of college, and I'm a teacher. There are some other teachers I'll talk to in passing, but again, no one I would ask to be a bridesmaid or go out for drinks with or anything. Is that normal? I honestly always see other girls posting wedding pics and they have like 7 bridesmaids. When it comes time for my wedding, I have my two sisters (who I am very close with), and that's it. I'm outgoing, bubbly, and I have always made an effort to be a kind person. Idk if there's something abnormal about me or if it's normal to have a hard time making real friends?

So I've known this girl for about 9 months and we are beginning to get really close, however im not sure what exactly we are. For background, the only reason I know this girl is because we got placed in a group project together. I was the only one in the group that didn't know anyone, everyone was good friends with each other. I didn't want to be lonely so I decided to talk to her because she seemed nice. We instantly hit it off and kept laughing the entire time. After a couple of days, she opened up and told me some pretty personal things, which I found odd seeing that I only knew her for such a short amount of time. Then she began FaceTiming me for help with the project, which I also found weird because she could've easily talked to her close friends in the group. We then finished the project and I thought we'd slowly stop talking, but we started talking even more. Throughout the day she'd always send me texts saying she was bored and whatnot and we FaceTimed every night. To this day we still talk and facetime almost every night and I consider her one of my closest friends, but I don't know what she thinks we are.

There's this girl I know that I know and she always looks down. Like sad, you know. It's obvious she has trust issues. People are always talking bad about her and then acting like they're her best friend when they're around her. It PISSES ME OFF. I have a feeling she knows people are talking about her. Like "I'll tolerate this but for only so long attitude". I want to go over and talk with her and help her but I'm afraid she's gonna shut me down. Help me so I can help her please!!!

I don't understand the logic, honestly. I let go of a toxic friend (narcissistic). Good things are happening in my life now and she wrote a passive-agressive post that seemed to target me. I had no clue - mutual friends texted me about it and said it was about me or it seemed that it was about me. It was then where I had a realization that I was in a different time/space. That friendship I had with her and the years of healing afterwards was another time in my life that I've felt far removed from. Now looking back, I'm glad that happened because it made me realize that I did grow and heal from it. Anyhoo, I never responded or bothered with it. She seems like she's trying so hard to be friends with me again. My husband read the post & he said that it seemed she was jealous & wanted to be friends with me, which prompted me to ask, "why"? If you're honestly jealous of someone - why would you want to be friends with them? When we were "friends", she friend-hopped, took my friends, and talked bad about me to them. What kind of friend does that? Anyhoo, I want to stay far-distant. If I need to get a new group of friends to stay away from her, I will.

So me and this girl Hana went to school together and its been a few months and she moved schools so I emailed her asking how she is and we became friends over email and I kept emailing her constantly and she told me to slow down and I kept emailing because im lonely and I was spamming "answer" every time she didn't reply and she stopped replying to everything so I told her I was crying and she continued to not reply then she finally responded that im making her uncomfortable to email because she feels like she's being forced to email me and then she never responded after that. im sad and I told her im calling the police on her if she doesn't talk to me and she still isn't answering. what do I do?

My name's Phoebe and so I have a best friend who I've been best friends with for 4 years and ill call him JJ and during an argument a year ago I made a fake account of a rename girl named Cindy and talked to JJ on the account claiming to be phoebes friend and telling him Phoebe is sorry and to talk to her and he did and were friends again and eventually with my other identity Cindy we became friends on that too and he became close with it and I talked to him still pretending to be a girl named Cindy and when he asked for pictures of her I sent him pictures of a girl at my school and eventually a year later he really loves her and is telling me on my real identity he wants to ask Cindy out and cares about her so much and he can't live without her and its gotten to the point he likes "Cindy" more then me and is always really depressed when I don't talk to him as Cindy because he thinks she's a real person and is deeply in love with her. I don't know what to do in this situation because I can't tell him I've been Cindy the whole time using a fake account because it would break his heart

So today I sat with new friends for lunch. Usually I would sit with a close friend, but I just wanted to get to know more people. Should I sit with her tomorrow or would I not be welcome?

I met a penpal from India about a month ago. We only chat on a popular penpal site and he ONLY knows my first name and the state I live in. He does not know anything else about me. But I was scrolling through facebook today and I saw he is in my friend suggestion list! How is that possible?

So I have these two really close friends. I love them with all my heart. But, recently I've been getting a bit left out. At lunch whenever all 3 of us sit by each other I'm never in the middle, and I'm never talked to either. I just kind of sit there the whole time trying to get involved. We've started hanging out with more girls, and I always end up on the outside them too. The other day they were talking about something but I couldn't hear them. I asked one of my friends, and asked what they were talking about and she said "The guy that is gonna bring us pop sickles". I had absolutely no idea what they were talking about. to this day, I still have no idea, and that was about a week or two ago, because whenever I asked again the response I got was "I already told you,". On my birthday we didn't have school, it was just recently. We had decided was going to be my school birthday and we they said I could sit in the middle. I didn't even get to sit by them at all. These past many days I haven't sat by them at all. They sit together and there's usually one girl in between me and them (nothing against her btw, she's my favorite out of all the new girls). One of my two friends I have the hour with just before lunch, but she ran off without telling me. They almost had to sit down without me completely. I still didn't get to sit by them though. I don't know what to do to stop myself from being left out of the 3, I feel like I'm never included anymore. What should I do?

Everybody treats me like sh*t and talks to me rude. Nobody pays any attention to me. Everybody ignores me. I haven't left the house in years because of my anxiety and nobody tried to get me help. I'm thinking about killing myself.

Ok so we have a group project for school and the teacher assigned us randomly who we were to work with I got the worst group and one of the students is a black atheist kid why do I a white person have to work with him? It goes against my beliefs and I don't like him but the teacher doesn't care what should I do?
