So I moved in last week and honestly it wasn't terrible. I live on a floor with frat guys and athletes so no shade but it always smells like ***. Someone always smokes weed and has the audacity to play music at 3AM. I walked into my house and went straight to my room and all I can say is, this is heaven. I don't know how I'm gonna go back. The question is, how do I make myself go back? It's so quiet here and I'm just amazed by it.

I'm not sure if it's my age or my friends or what it is but I'm in my late 20's and I noticed my friendships have changed drastically. Over the past year my "best friend" has unfortunately gotten into drugs. We used to be really close but things have changed. I'll hear from her then I'll go a long period of time not hearing from her. When we hang out it's generally only in small increments at a time here and there and it seems like she's constantly got excuses. My other friend is engaged. She has made NO time or effort to see me at all this entire summer. Not one day since May. Every time I talk to her she's with her fiancé, she's busy, or she has other plans. Her fiancé was unemployed and recently accepted a new job. She text me and told me now (after I've been trying to hang out with her since May) that she's available to hang out because her fiancé is now working so she won't be seeing him as much. My other friend literally only calls me when something major is going on in my life or to ask me if I have free tickets to the local football games. (I work for a local college as an equipment manager and get free tickets to football games) I don't know if I'm just reading into things or if I need to make new friends. It's weird because sometimes my friends will come around and other times I feel like I'm chasing people down. Is it just my age or something? I'm 29.

So she was at my house and we were hanging out and her phone died and she asked if she could use my phone to call her mom to ask when she needs to be home so I gave her my phone and she went outside to call and when she came back my phone was completely smashed the screen was almost completely off and glass pieces were still falling off and the back was smashed and it was bent badly so I screamed at her and she said she dropped it so I told her she has to replace it because its an iPhone XR which is expensive but she refused and went home a few minutes later. I told my parents but they don't know what to do

If a person ignored you or acted snobby intentionally, then wanted to talk to you again. will you mention what she or he did and do the same to them?

she physically and emotionally abuses me. i transferred schools this year and she. wants me to come back and bothers me everyday about it. she calls me an idiot and kicks me and punches me. she talks about how she would sacrifice me. she bothers my classmates which makes me apologize for her. she didnt let me go shopping for my dad's birthday because 'she's more important' please please please help, im sick of this and her and the school i was at made me think of suicide frequently please help

I'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?

My nephew, who's 19, frequently visits his uncle in LA and constantly complains of not knowing anyone else. He wants to make friends but since California is still an entirely differently pace then where he lives, he doesn't know how. Any suggestions? Are LA 19/20 year olds as stuck up as they make it seem to be?

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 just an outgoing person?

I'm a freshman in college, it's like the third week of school and I have no friends. I know it's still early but I'm just sad and it makes me kind of hate myself and wonder what I'm doing wrong. I always try and start conversation with people in class, in my dorm, etc but they never follow up. And then when I try they're already busy off with their group. There are 2 girls right next to me and 2 right across from me, and I thought we were friends but one of them is always excluding me (posting the 3 others on her Snapchat story, making plans w the others except for me, etc.). I feel isolated from my floor. I try to talk to people but no one seems to want to. Everyone seems like they already have their 'group'. It's making me hate myself and I hate college because I'm sitting here on a Saturday with nothing to do :( I've joined clubs but still people just flock to their own groups and ignore those who don't have one. I'm just really sad and I feel really lonely. People talk about making lifelong friends in college but I haven't found that. My high school friends were much more inclusive as a group and I miss that

So last night I opened my phone to about 7 texts in a row from my ex girlfriend. She was going off on me, telling me she "knew it was me" telling me I'm a psychopath, the whole 9. Meanwhile I have not a clue what's going on as I didn't do a damn thing to her. She's accusing me of I guess ding dong ditching her house and something about messing with her truck. She kept going off on me saying she saw me do it, if it happens again she's gonna call the cops and all this bs. I told her it wasn't me and that didn't work (surprise) and then I moved on to trying to prove it wasn't me. She told me the person was driving a blue motorcycle, I do not own a blue motorcycle, nor do I ever ride one. She said the person was wearing my green hoodie, I haven't worn that hoodie in months. I kept finding holes in her story that I felt proved it wasn't me as I know she has no evidence it's me because I actually didn't do anything. However she keeps saying "I saw you do it" I don't know how to argue with what someone claims they saw, even though I know they're either lying or don't actually know what they saw. How do I prove that I didn't do this ? She has made me look bad to a lot of people already when I didn't do anything wrong, and now this is making me look far worse to a lot of people.

I work in an office with 9 other people. I am the only woman in the office. The guys I work with are terrific. I am happy to go to work each morning just to work with these great guys. They are always there for me when I have questions or need help. After hearing other women talk about their jobs, I think I am one of the luckiest people on earth. I am not married but most of my co workers are but none of them hits on me. If I need something to do my job, they get it for me. They have a tradition that after work on Friday, they take me to a different restaurant each week for dinner. They say they just want to thank me for all the great work I do for them during the week. I really enjoy these dinners and so do they. However my boyfriend found out about them and demanded that I stop "Going on a date with 9 guys". I tried to explain to him that it was not a date. It was just friends going out for a meal. I invited him to join us but he refused. He said the only reason they were doing that is so they could get in my pants. I think his jealously got the best of him so he is now my ex boyfriend. Why is it so hard for guys to believe that a girl can have male friends that are not trying to get into her pants? Do you think I did the right thing to dump him?

She invited me last week. But I told her I will inform her if I am available that day so until today, I am still undecided yet. I haven't informed her a while ago about my status so knowing me during meetups, she expected me to go to her lunch meeting roght away as it was her birthday last week. When she informed me before lunch that she will be seeing me later, that was the time I was still sleeping. Then I woke up and read her message at around 5pm already. I haven't replied to her yet and I don't know what to respond to her. She may have brough some of our friends with her but I was the one who did not attend a while ago. *if I did not attend

"The questions I would like to know are...why did you initiate things with me to begin with (dont forget, you contacted me)? Why did you want to make sure I was open to something romantic between us when I repeatedly told you I would be okay with being friends? And why did you really lose interest?" What do u think of the questions I asked him? Were they good? will choose a best answer...thanks

We've been dating since July. Before he was dating me he was in a 4 yr relationship with an incredibly high maintenance asian american girl. I'm talking a closet just for her designer purses, pomeranian with a diamond collar who has his own instagram page, has a travel instagram and according to him she celebrates her birthday all month. She's very pretty in the way that she has perfect makeup, designer dresses, manicured nails, and would wear high heels, dresses and gucci purses to dinners with him etc. They broke up because he said she stayed out one night and he thinks she cheated on him so he moved out of their apartment after 4 years of dating. He let her name slip the other day in conversation and out of curiosity I looked her up on instagram. Here's where things get freaky. Every single place she's been in the past year. He's asked me to go, places she went to with him and after they broke up. Restaurants, plays, vacation destinations, ice cream shops, beaches. This isn't a coincidence, these places are all far spread out and nowhere near where we live. For example she posted about her favorite ice creams shop in South Carolina, him and I live in Massachusetts and he told me we should order ice cream from this shop and have it shipped. Then she had vacation photos in a random town in peru a place he asked me to go with him if we go on vacation. She went to a random play and he asked me if I wanted to see it. It's as if he's watching what she does and asking me to do it I just don't understand how else he would be coming up with these suggestions that just so happen to be the exact places and things his ex is currently doing and has done in the past. I can think of at least 10-12 places or activities he's suggested that she has posted about specifically as being her favorite things to do. Wineries, beaches, restaurants, plays, travel destinations, concerts....all things she posts about he's asked me to do. What does this mean? should I break up with this guy?

I'm not super close to her but i thought i would just text her saying i noticed she was sad and that hopefully she's ok. is that ok or is that rude?

Making friends was easy when I was younger but now that I'm older I've noticed that I only talk to people I've met in the past. I'm a senior in high school now but I feel really lonely and can't seem to make new friends, it's come to the point where I realized how much of a struggle it actually is to meet new people. I don't really go out much because my parent is very strict. I'm also not in any clubs at school but don't really have time for it either because I'm getting a job soon (I'm not sure I'll be able to manage both). because of this I don't really have things to talk about. I never have a problem with introducing myself so that's good, but when it comes to keeping the conversation going and actually forming a friendship, it's very difficult for me because there's literally nothing to talk about you know? The only far as I'll get is acquaintances but going pass that is nearly impossible. It's really starting to stress me out that I can't make friends anymore and then seeing everyone else with there groups of friends. I'm an introvert but I like being alone, not lonely :( How can I better build relationships with people and hopefully get past the acquaintances stage?

Looking back I think it was weird that I used to try to stay friends. After I graduated I used to visit the High School football games to try to keep in touch with the lower class-men that I was friends with as a Senior (Sophomores). It definitely wasn't the same since they had appeared to move on. Looking back, should I had just moved on from High School?

im starting my second semester of college and I feel like I haven't made any friends. I'm not into the party or hookup scene. I feel like I can't find any girls like me that are more focused on school than going to the frat parties. idk I feel like im the only one that really takes my education seriously because im paying for it. i I don't drink/smoke im not sure where I can make friends. I feel like I have no time to do a club because everyday I just stress over school and focus on all my work and then. go to bed. lots of people tell me im pretty and ask me homework questions but that's it. how can I make more friends. im really shy as well
