My guy friend has recently given me a new nickname but a shortened version of my name. He calls me Ellie. Now he calls me Beth and I dont really like the name Beth. Now he teases me because he knows I don't really like it as much. We both laughed about it today. He today again asked me do you just straight up not like the name? I said it's okay it's not my favorite but its fine. It's not a big deal I guess but should I just let him call me that?

I'm sick and don't like to have any mean people bumped into me anywhere I went. How to stop this from happening to me? I want go anywhere that having people being nice to me and be friendly with me.

My mom and her friend are throwing me(female) and my brother a 16th birthday. Well they told me to invite some friends but here's the thing I don't have friends to invite.

I need advice for my son (14) got himself in trouble. He (long story; some argument with friend etc) stole his friends game boy and told me he might win some electronic in PE racing. I felt something was weird about what he was telling me. Next day I asked him what was going on and I have a feeling he lied about the race etc. He started crying and said please dont scream at me but I need your help. He said I stole my friends game boy and he is really worried. and now I feel so bad seeing him upset and sad for loosing his game boy. He said he was ashamed of what he has done and wanted to give his game boy back. So i told him to go say sorry to his friend and give it back. He said that he was scared of his friend and he went and dropped it at the lost and told his friend to go look there. Now my son had signed into his account and so his friend saw that he has the profile and so found out anyway that my son had stolen his electronic. He confronted my son yesterday. And so my son quickly messaged him saying sorry and how bad he felt and he learned his lesson because it felt awful to do such a bad thing. But that did not stop there. His friend started sending him messages like he will report my son to the authorities. And so my son was extremely down and depressed since yesterday for doing such a bad thing to his friend. This morning he started sending him messages to log out of his account and threaten him followed by his father, sent a message to my son saying he will report

I booked and payed for a weekend away for myself and a friend. every morning she was up at the crack of dawn and told me she gets up early every day naturally. When we got back from the holiday she cut me off completely and I was worried about her thinking I did something on her or something happened her as she has depression. During the holiday she seemed fine, helped herself to what she wanted and did everything that suited her. I booked a meditation day about a month ago and was telling her about it. She decided to book it as well. She asked me last week if she could stay in my place the night before saying she didn't want to have to get up at 7 to go to it. I said yes but thinking about it later I text her saying I had something else on the night before. She text back saying she wouldn't be able to go then as she didn't want to get up at 7 and that she also didn't plan it through as she would be short on cash. I told her I couldn't believe that getting up at 7 would be a problem since she got up early every day on holiday and does it regularly. I said if shes worried about cash that theres free parking near the meditation centre. Is this selfish of me? I booked this so I could have a relaxing time, I was planning on jogging into it, if she came to my place I would have to set up my place to have her stay, probably cook for her and then make sure she gets in there the next day. I booked this for myself, it was her who decided at a later time to join me at it.

I'm 24 years old and a mother to one. None of my other friends have kids and when we go out they always seem to want to make that known. They make these seemingly random, sneaky comments around me like, " I'm having another drink cuz I don't have a child to go home to" or " I don't have any kids, why not?" I don't know whether I'm thinking too far into it, but they seem really unnecessary to say especially considering someone WITH a child is sitting right next to you. It's almost as if they're throwing it in my face (not that I would ever be ashamed of my child). Am I overreacting or do I need new friends?

Some guy in my class at school sent a dic pic to several people in class. The picture was altered probably by Photoshop to show he was much longer and larger than he really was. Are all guys this vain about their size?

I recently told my friend I was into him. I told him he would probably think I'm weird for saying who I like and then he said it would be fine. So I told him I liked him, and he said he was flattered, but not ready for a relationship. I'm completely fine with that, but I said again I hope he doesn't think I'm weird, and he didn't answer. I'm so awkward around him now, and he just stares at me when he sees me. I try to avoid talking to him now, and now I'm worried I just ruined our friendship. Help?!

No matter what I do at night, whether I watch tv, play a game, read a book.. I can't escape my loneliness. I don't really have any friends to talk to. My closest friend passed away suddenly last September. I live with a friend but he always does his own thing and is on his computer in his room every night, talking to his friends on Discord while he studies or plays games. He never wants to hang out with me or even watch tv with me so I always still feel alone. I have tried saying to him a few times already that he never spends any time with me but nothing changed. I don't want to force him to hang out with me if he doesn't want to. Besides making new friends, which is really difficult for me (I have severe social anxiety) is there anything else I could do to make the loneliness easier to deal with at night? I find it especially hard on weekends, because I don't have friends to hang out with or even talk to. I just need ways to cope with being alone so much.

I'm a dude and I am 23 years old. I was friends with this woman from work named Alicia. I always had a crush on her, and she even knew i liked her, she was cool about it. She was so nice with me and I would always go to her desk and we would talk. I kind of had a feeling that she could like me too. The problem was that she was 36 years old and married.   But one day Alicia was talking to my best friend, and Alicia told my best friend that lately she's been having feelings for me. she feels guilty having those feelings because she's married, she also said that she cares about me and that it's really refreshing to have a deep mature conversation with someone like me. Alicia told my friend to never tell me the truth but my friend told me later on. I never said anything to Alicia tho    Weeks later people began talking bad behind Alicia's back and my back. coworkers began saying that we are having an affair and management told me to stop talking to Alicia because it's causing too much drama on the floo. I trusted Alicia and we still talked behind everyone's back, she deleted me on Facebook but told me that she would add me back once this drama stopped. later on I noticed that she was giving me the cold shoulder but one day for her birthday I gave her a birthday card but she gave that birthday card to management. my manager got mad with me because I wasn't supposed to have contact with her my manager. I I noticed she couldn't look me in the eyes anymore, and weeks later she quit. Same day she quit she blocked me on Facebook. Why did she block me out of her life??? She knew i respected her

Don't know really why some of us that may have faced dysfunction at some point or another find it so hard to step out of Toxic relationships environments, Had many clues that something was wrong from the beginning, I'm talking about people who are: Bitchy, Entitled, Selfish, Greedy, Manipulative, Gossipers and of top That have a heavy marihuana habit and deal with drugs in the neighborhood usually selling in it to friends, this people will Shout, Be rude and always find blame on others, They are also a bunch of punks that don't know how to fight, But would always challenge you to one.The issue here is that they Only smoke weed but don't drink and I usually do Both they are always giving me **** because they say I'm obnoxious and beligerant when I'm buzzed, and use that to antagonize me. I GOT TIRED OF THEIR **** So, because I want to stop drinking and hanging out with people who get high. I exited the what's app group. Blocked all their numbers. Had a couple of Arguments with them. Told them I won't be going attending gatherings. Was it the right approach? I don't know how to handle things if is not straight ahead.

I heard from someone that a guy in my class wanted to get into my pants, and confronted him, as he kept begging me to trust him that it's just a faux and that he isn't even remotely attracted to me. I didn't and ended up slapping him really hard in front of class..... He cried for a while and was confronted by his friends, and later on he angrily came to me and Slapped me back, and said that he was never attracted to me, but used to consider me a friend and care about me, but now he truly hates me for not trusting him.... Can I file a molestation case against him? Why is he so butthurt since so many guys like me?

So yesterday and today (the weekend), my roommate has set alarms that would go off about every 15 minutes for about 2 hours. She had to be up for work at 7am today, and her alarms started going off at 6am. Her alarms alternate between this super loud and obnoxious desk alarm, and her iPhone. She did the same thing yesterday, except it started at 7:45ish am. We have a third roommate in a separate bedroom next to ours who wasn't here this weekend and our walls are thin. Her desk alarm is so loud that I know it would have woken up our third roommate. She just started working and I know with her depression she sleeps a lot and has a hard time getting up. I feel bad because I stormed away this morning and took my blankets and stuff to the couch because I was furious. But now that I've gottne to finish sleeping, I feel bad. But I still want to address the alarms. Advice? Am I being too harsh?

I'm tired of this friend, as they are literally bringing down my high school experience and i'm trying to have a good senior year. So . . . - They forgot my birthday, even though every year I got them a present and they already forgot my birthday, and I had to ask them to get me a birthday present, and I had to ask them to tell other people so they would get me stuff - Last year, I was constantly talking about THEIR birthday weeks before it happened, and even though I still kinda forgot, I still managed to get them a big cookie and write her a nice message. And when I realized I forgot (before I even saw them that day) I literally cried! She literally only made a google slide (DURING CLASS TIME) with a meme that I have expressed that I didn't care about for a while!!! -Their memes are always old and they are really only a person that I go to if I have a problem, but they always have way more problems than me and sometimes they judge me (like, I'm more well of to do, and so when I said I was asking my dad, who is a doctor, for $5,000 for a trip to Europe for me and my mom, they said "my mom would literally call me spoiled", and would barely talk to me for weeks) So we haven't talked since my birthday (~1 month) and I don't know if I should just continue ignoring her, or if I should confront her with all my grievances. Y'all, I literally asked for candy, something that cost like $2. And the situation was more like Me: "My birthday is coming up" Them: "Do you want something?" Me: "idk, candy" I guess I'm a little spoiled and a little bit immature, but like, I'm not mad at them for no reason. They know exactly what I wanted and still disappointed me, even when I tried to keep my standards high for their birthday.

I just graduated high school and I'm now at college, even though i'm in a dorm with my bff, I'm still living close to home and go back often. My friends are selling their houses and moving far away for college. I miss my past so much. I'm not happy anymore, any tips on how to move forward?

Recently I've blocked a friend of almost 2 years on social media. I feel no remorse for this friend, she has been nothing but a disaster to my mental health and have been toxic and manipulative to me and literally everyone else. As soon as she started to get aggressive towards both me and my girlfriend about our relationship I stupidly decided to block her and she was able to figure it out very quickly. My problem is she is taking to situation way too far and borderline harassing my friends for details, making me sound like a horrible, deceitful person and straight up lying about things I have said and I can't help but feel guilty about it. Everything I say to defend myself is going to be used against me. This IS NOT a situation that can be worked out my communicating with her, and she is not a person to be reasoned with. My problem is not the situation itself, I find that she's being a brat about it and there isn't much that can be done to resolve it. But I more feel like I'm being selfish for blocking her in the first place because the outcome is effecting other people as well. I understand that there is nothing I could have done to prevent her reaction, but at the same time I feel like a bad person for stupidly doing something without considering HOW she would react.

from what u can see please rate her looks from 1-10?

So I am in a close group of friends that we all were friends w/ for at least 5 yrs. Ayla, the one that makes all the plans (idk something like that) acts nice and friendly to everyone but is a total ***** to me. We had that relationship before ( but in a way like siblings) nun now she is having sleepovers w/ everyone but me. She also started hanging out w/ the " popular people " and it makes me feel like **** when all my friends are hanging out without me. I love them all to peaces, but she just makes me kinda depressed at times. My other friend, in the group, also agrees w/ me on this but she still wants her as a friend. I do too, but now she just is acting kinda distant and it sucks. She is in cheer now and has more popular friends now and she calls me "petty " when all of them hang out without me and I ask why. This if just a rant, and yes I have other friends, but Ayla is still really special to me so I don't want to loose her. (;o;)

That because she sometimes help her mum bring food to few people without. But jobs are created by eating out or just having a coffee. I tell her unless people come to her to ask for money help it not her place.

make any "real" friends. i have two people that i talk to more than most and i thought i could consider them my friends but then i always see them on snap stories and they're always hanging out with other people. i'd consider myself a genuinely nice person who's easy to get along with too, i just don't understand why i am never allowed to tag along and just get to know their group because the two of them know i really don't have anyone else, and i don't want to seem desperate by asking. i just don't know what to do anymore it truly makes me upset and ive felt lonely for so long.

So i have an online friend who i think of as my best friend but he is really poor and lives off disability and he is buying a 4 TB hard drive and sending it to my address across the country because my computer has very little storage so i can't game and he wants me to be able to game so he's shipping me the hard drive for more storage and i told him it's ok but he wants me to be happy, i just feel so bad because he is so poor and i don't want him to waste his money on me

Is this (below) something you would say to a friend/someone you cared about? Someone said this to me - do you think that they are my friend? No one deserves to be bullied. You do have friends, as I'm your friend and don't forget that. I'm always here if you need to talk. Don't let what people did in the past hurt you now. You just keep working hard and show all them pompous people what you are really made off. I'm sure you will go far, you just need to believe in yourself :) I'm sure people don't hate you. I don't and I will always be here to talk to. You will be successful, you just need to believe in yourself.

I started high school 2 weeks ago and my best friends already dropped me. I knew that we were going to drift apart a little bit but it's like they ignore me overtime I try to talk to them. It's not like we all went our separate ways either, they all formed a new friend group without me. I seriously did nothing at all and it feels like they just dropped me because I'm not cool enough or something. I've made new friends and stuff but it's just not the same and I'm not ready to lose them.
