Hello, I am a 18 year old (male) college student.   I am involved in Greek life(fraternity) at my school and i am currently going threw pledge ship. This is where I am confused and have been going threw since highschool. I am a seemingly out going kid who can pretty much talk to anyone. The problem is I always feel left out, like people don't want to hangout with me. Although I am friends with everyone and hangout with some of them outside of the frat, I just feel left out. I see people hanging out in little clicks and I want to be apart of that. I feel left out when people talk about there fun nights when I'm to scared to reach out and ask people to hangout. I am making it sound like I don't do much, I do a lot and party a lot. I just always feel like an outsider. When people are standing in groups and I'm not engaged in the conversation, it just makes me feel bad about myself. Ideal for me would be getting invited to hangout more, having a few best buds and just not feeling down and left out and sorry for myself all the time.  Does it sound like I might have a form of social anxiety? I know for a fact this is normal to feel these ways sometimes, but it's something I think about a lot and it has effected my self confidence.  I'm sick of always worrying about everything(future, what people think, feeling left out) , feeling down, nervous.   I am looking for advice from anyone! What can I do? Should I consider medication? I want to be the confident/ happy self ik I am.

A family friend Jill asked me to train her to use a computer so she could monitor her high school daughter's Ann's computer use. Since Jill was a single mother, I willingly said yes as I wanted to help her any way I could. I did the training and she now uses their computer a lot. Needless to say Ann was not too happy that her mother now could monitor her computer usage. However I had a talk with Ann and told her that Jill was doing it out of love for her and to protect her from harm. After a while she understood that and appreciated her mother caring enough about her to spend a lot of time learning to use a computer. Jill wanted to pay me for the training but I told them I don't take money for helping my friends. Jill said "at least let us take you out to dinner as a way of saying thank you". Jill, Ann, and I had a great dinner and great conversation. We all had a lot of fun. A few days later Ann called me and said after the dinner her mom was the happiest she had seen her in years. Could we so it again sometime? I am a little confused as to what I should do. Please give me some advice. Is this a daughter wanting me to date her mom? I think I might be to young to do that. I am 24 and her mom I guess is 39. Ann is 17 which is a little too young for me to date don't you think. OR am I on an ego trip and neither one want a date. They just want to go out and have some fun. ADVICE PLEASE.

So, here's the situation. I'm at my best friend's house right now for a sleepover, and she said she was gonna be cooking barbecue chicken for dinner. So, I didn't bother to bring money to the sleepover cuz I didn't think I was gonna need it. Well, now she's saying she's not cooking dinner. I didn't wanna have to call my Mom to have her bring me anything, so I waited a little while. My stomach was starting to hurt though, so I called my Mom and told her what was going on. She brought me McDonalds (she knows it's my favorite), but I felt really bad for making her drive to the house and pick up the food. I'm really mad at my best friend for not cooking the food like she said she would, but I haven't told her because I feel like I'm just being a *****. It's her and her Mom's house. She doesn't HAVE to give me anything. I just feel bad cuz my Mom had to come and bring me food. Do you think I have a right to be mad, or am I just being a *****?

I finally found my friend again after losing contact with her for about six months. I was invited over to theirs and within a minute of me arriving, the mum started showing me vape juices, because my friend knew I sometimes vaped. She showed me a tobacco flavoured juice to which I responded 'Never tried that'. On about the tobacco flavoured juice. To which she responded 'So why do you vape'. And that was the end of it.. I really wish I said something as first like I said I was on about the vape juice, second I thought it was a bit of an impolite thing to say? Like, even if I was on about cigarettes, I just thought that it was such a lovely comment to begin with and if that was me I wouldn't have said anything, like first impressions? Also, no, I have never smoked. But I enjoy vaping sometimes. It helps with pressure and nerves. Is vaping only meant for smokers? Like I said I wasn't even on about that when I said 'I had never tried it'. And It's just made me hurt. Should she have refrained from saying anything?

I have started college and met this girl. On the first day she sat to my right. At break time I got up to go to the canteen and noticed she was standing in the gangway to my left taping the buttons on her phone and standing there as if waiting for something. At the last minute I decided not to go to the canteen and sat back down. I noticed this girl come straight back and sit back to the right of me (not right next to me but adjacent). The second lesson I sat behind her and I remember looking round at the girl sitting next to me briefly (a second) and then looked at me for about 3 seconds. The third lesson we sat next to each other and just had a general chat. But on the fourth lesson, I came in a bit late and she was sitting talking to this girl and I sat next to this girl. However, her face seemed to light up and immediately started talking to me, as if the girl between us didn't exist. Since then she has come with me to the canteen and to speak the security guard. I suggested last week to meet up to revise together and she suggested places to revise, such as Costas and Starbucks and which ones are quiet. Today we still spoke and had a laugh together, but when I brought up us meeting up to revise she seemed to agree but seemed awkward. Afterwards she would engaged in chatting again and asked about ,y favourites foods, what I eat etc and said she liked some of the food I liked. On leaving she gave me her number and I gave her mine about meeting up

So I was in a play with a friend and I was talking to that friend who was also talking to another person who was in it... (who is now a new friend!) so they were talking and then the "New friend" asked me if I knew this person and I said I did and my friend asked me how I knew them and I was like "UHHHHHH Homeschooling thing... I have a friend who knows them.. heh heh heh yeah" But see I've only seen them in a play of newsies and didn't know their name until now..... (and I've like never actually met them, like they've never seen me before) so what do I do if they ask me about them again or if I actually meet that person they were talking about and their like "Nice to meet you!" or "I've never met you before" or something like that??? I got so nervous for some reason and lied that I knew them.... (I think it's because I'm really bad when it comes to making friends so I just wanted that person to like me which is sad...) Also that person (Who I don't know) came to my play but I just totally avoided them.... I NEED HELP PLEASE WHAT DO I DO???? Thank you soooooo much! -Sap

I told my best friend, and she thought it was weird. he wants to do the nasties with me but I don't think I should because I don't think I should have a child until i'm at least 14. so should I break up with him? sorry I meant im 14 and I want a child at 15

My friend (Paige) and I go to different high schools. We have been friends since 1st grade but over the years we've grown apart. I like her, but she's a bit off mentally and was kinda glad we aren't close. I'm doing really well in my new school and have some great friends but Paige has started showing up , which is odd . I feel like she is stalking me and my friends. My friends told me that she shows up places they are at and she acts like THEY are friends. It creeps them out but they are nice to her bc they don't want to hurt her feelings so she keeps coming around. She comes to our schools sporting events, pep rally dances etc. she just sits and stares at us or sits behind us and pretends she part of our crowd. One of my friends told me that she acts like me, she's dressing like me too. I've been trying to ignore her but it's creepy. My mom thinks she has some sort of personality disorder because she thinks she is me I have talked to her but it seems to enrage her. 

I have recently moved to a new school for sixth form and I was already friends with a couple people so on my first day one of the girls I knew introduced me to her friendship group who are lovely but tend to gossip a lot and have recently been saying or doing things that have gotten on my nerves. I'm friends with a couple other people in another group who I feel I get on better with and enjoy my time more with them however because I'm friends with one of the girls in my current group before I started the school I don't know how to move groups as I tend to be with her a lot as we walk to school together and share similar lessons. We also have free periods so it's ticker to be around the other group. I'm not sure whether I should say something to her about moving groups? And if so what? (as I don't want them to get upset or angry) And I don't know how to move without it being too obvious?

I am the only girl in my AP Calculus class. My classmates are all my friends and are great guys. We have a lot of home work so we sometimes gather at someone's house and do our homework together. This time it was my house. After we completed the homework, my mom served all the guys fresh homemade apple pie and ice cream. They loved it. We usually rotate whose house we go to for doing the homework. However the guys ask me if we could go to my house again for the homework. That is OK with me. I just thought they liked the pie and ice cream my mom made for them. Then one of the guys told me the real reason they wanted to come to my house. When mom served them pie and ice cream she wore her Daisy Dukes. Are all high school guys like this about someone twice their age?

I got a note from the school that my 16 year old daughter Nancy was failing math and they recommended a tutor to help her. They sent a list of tutors home with Nancy and I started calling them. All of the tutors were very expensive. Being a single mom, I just could not afford them. I knew a family friend that I thought knew enough math to tutor her and I hoped he would be a lot cheaper. His name was Bill and he was a college senior. I called Bill and asked him if he would tutor Nancy and he agreed to do if for free. He was a great guy for doing this for her. He did tutor Nancy for 3 months. When Nancy got her grade card, she got an A in math. We were both VERY HAPPY and asked Bill go come over so we could tell him the GREAT NEWS. When we told him Nancy's math grade he said that is wonderful news. Nancy told Bill she had to thank him for his help so she kissed him. After she was through kissing him Bill turned to me and said "your turn". I was so excited I kissed him also. We all had a good laugh and a group hug. Bill said "if you need any more help with school subjects, just call me". Some of my friends that I told about this told me what we did was not appropriate and that Bill would get the wrong idea. My take on this is that if Bill was happy and my daughter and I were happy, there is no problem. We were just having fun. What do you think? Did we do something wrong?

I don't find it funny and want to leave because of the sheer stupidity of it all. He's not even a friend anymore and the pay is lousy. What should I do? It's hard to find a new job! He farts next to everyone's desk, says "it's a beautiful day, and about to get more (fart) beautiful now!!" Some people crack up laughing but they're just sucking up and getting nowhere. Why does the boss keep him and think it's professional? Given, he's the Principal Architect but he can be replaced.

People tend to judge me harshly because I do, and I've grown up to have a low self esteem because if my stutter. I am a 21 y/o girl. I know I need to grow thick skin because it's part of who I am and it's not going anywhere, but I can't help but feel sad when people reject me over something I can't help.

Now, I'm talking family snubbing (cousins). I have to invite a cousin, that previously snubbed me on many occasions, to an event. But I want to go on strongly, and I dont want that person to take my invitation for granted. Im basically inviting them because Im obliged to. What would you do? and How would you do it?

I would never do anyone in the world any wrong for any reason. I'm generally considered a nice guy by all my friends and past girl friends. I've always had smooth drama-less relationships and have had no issues controlling myself or my behavior. But for some reason, my female best Friend is an exception to this. We've been best friends for 5 years now and have even dated the first year we met. Yet for some reason, occasionally every month or so, I do the most disgusting and disloyal **** to only her. This ranges from snooping through her stuff, phone, asking about her behind her back, and hell even damn near sexually assault her with how I play around. I love her to literal death and she loves me too as a best friend Yet, I feel like a danger to her. I need help understanding why I do this or if anyone else does the same. I've tried to talk to people about it and even punish myself for doing it. I WANT to stop, but I have impulses to take advantage of her. I feel like a ******* psycho.

I work at a port/harbor cleaning bathrooms. There is a building with 2 bathroom, and 2 sets of showers inside. Almost everyday I notice people leave like half a bottle ot more of their shampoo/body wash behind. I'm a cheapskate, so I was thinking of taking them home, and using them at home so I never have to buy any myself. Would that also be sort of risky? Like, maybe someone might have poisoned it. A lot of people shoot up in the area, and I wouldnt surprised if someone leaked a used syringe in one.

So 2 years ago, this guy got butthurt for me becoming close w another friend and we would always hang out cause he lives like down the street. I texted him asking to talk it out and he said he doesn't wanna be friends and etc. He has been inviting my other friend over but not me, and he doesnt even talk to us. So, his bday is coming up, (he didnt say happy bday to me) and my mom and friend say go and show u dont care and that you the bigger man. So my question is, should I go? 

Should I give her the stuff she bought me back? I'm keeping the photos but there's this one thing that I'm debating on giving her back. Should I give it back and close the door forever or keep and always have a little light come in ?

I'm a guy with a learning disability and I was friends with a girl named Tara. She's the same age as me. She said if someone tried to put their hands on me she if yelp this to them Get your hands off my boy She loved me very much But we're not friends anymore She said she was very protective and like a nurturing mother
