I go to video game club after school on Tuesdays. I liked being in video game club despite being the only girl there. Then when my friend came, I was angry at her. She was getting more attention from the guys in 2 meetings when it took me forever for them to even know my name. The guys were cool with me around and joked with me but still. She is pretty bad at the game we play though. She still has this obnoxious cough, coughs on her hands and touches things… super gross. I haven't told her about the issue of her going to video game club. I don't want her stealing my opportunities at making friends. She's nice to talk to outside of the club. But I still get annoyed at her going there.  I honestly don't want her to go to video game club anymore.

I keep thinking of my ex even more now :/ it's a cycle on and off i can't get over. it's been like months now lol and i've been fine for a short while but then  sometimes along with other drama i've been having, and with the thinking of him it fs gets to me and i hate it. i never had a really true kind of best friend like him, tbh, i blame myself along with why all my other old friends left me, and i kinda see with so many reasons to why i believe that. and i've lost just so many friends and some i just kinda pushed away on "purpose"  or strayed from how much drama or things happening. i mean i have no way of getting it really, but i want to try it. i know my life isn't that shitty, i'm not saying that. but it's a thought i've been having. is this bad? im usually staying at home playing my psn because that's really all i can ****** do lmao my parents hardly let me hang out if anyone wanted to, and i can't even walk to a 3 minute away gas station by myself because my parents are too ******* strict. and like it's the only thing hardly distracting me from anything else and hurting my dam eyes 💀 all the time

She's 13 and starting to want to go out all the time, her friend who lives two doors down is in the year above her at school and she is allowed to do whatever she wants and is out all hours.  My daughter has started challenging me saying why can't she go out and I just always say NO! She has started saying things like "I've done all my homework so why not!" And "you clearly don't trust me!" I think her friend is telling her to say these things and I keep saying no but now she's starting to say "I'm going out!" And I can't stop her. She knows I will just say no so she's doing whatever she wants and I can't stop her!  I think the neighbour is a bad influence but it's hard to get her to go away when she lives so close!  What can I do?

I feel like I'm always giving, always caring and helping. But when I need help nobody sees me. I'm... invisible almost. They just use me when they need something, and when they don't they just toss me aside. It's not just my family, it's friends and classmates too. What's wrong with me?? Do I try too hard? Am I just awkward? We all have fun together though... so I really can't tell.

I have a friend that I've known for about a year. He came into town from college this week because of the holiday. He wanted to hang out on a specific day, but then he never texted me back. I waited a couple of days and he told me he was busy with school work. I was a bit upset because I'm sure he could've texted me saying he was busy beforehand. And lately he's been leaving my messages on read so I started to think he wasn't interested in our friendship, but he keeps reassuring me that isn't the case. When I was walking home, I was alone and a man came up to me and asked me where I lived and my age, what school I go to, and he said he'd follow me home, started talking about a gang, and wouldn't leave me alone and I got really scared. When he finally left I started to cry and I told my friend about this and he made a joke saying "maybe he's recruiting, haha" and kept saying "it's ok, you're fine" when I wasn't fine. He is really a nice person. And that's the only reason why I feel bad about dropping him as a friend. He's nice but I just feel like he's so awkward that he doesn't understand how to handle emotional, confrontational, or just HUMAN situations. But my friends have told me they think he's toxic and I know i probably don't need to ask this, but I'd just like to know I'm making the right choice here. If you were me, would you talk to him about this more or would you stop the friendship?

i've just started university and the first semester is nearly over. Me and my friends from university have been friends since the very start and I was so lucky to have made them as friends as I wasn't friend lucky in high school lol. But, last thursday I saw one of the girls in a groupchat with the other girls without me and got upset but tried to talk myself out of it like it wasn't a big deal. But yesterday my friend gave me her phone to do something and i noticed the groupchat and it was called 3 amigos and I was a bit sly and went into the chat to see what it was about and I saw a screenshot of a comment i made on a photo and they were making fun of it. It's childish I know. Do I speak up about it or leave it? As I know i shouldn't have looked in the groupchat so they might think i'm in the wrong? Please help. Thanks.

I have been in this class all year and have had fights all year. Today I was accused of throwing wet TP (toilet paper) onto the roof of the senior girls bathroom along with my bff, my friend and her friend. We were told that we were seen by two girls, let's call them Linda and Cath, throwing toilet paper on the roof, me and my bff, who we'll call Lilliana, haven't been in the bathroom all day apart from Lilliana in the morning which I was with her and I never saw her do anything related to that. We were told 'that is very irresponsible for students in year 5, it's the end of the year and you're going to be the leaders of the school soon.' Get to class and students parents come in to preview their students work, guess who's parent was their, Linda's dad, I tell him what happened and he tells the teacher what I said, the teacher calls me over to her and I get told, 'This is very inappropriate to say to someone's parents, school things are solved at school and not by telling parents silly things, now I want you to apologise to Linda's dad' I say sorry to him and go back to my seat. I burst into tears and now I'm afraid the teacher hates me and I'll be suspended. My friend told me that my teacher was going to tell my dad, which made me cry even more, what's even worse is I'm afraid to tell my dad what happened as he doesn't like me and constantly takes his anger out on me.

Hi, My male bestfriend called me two months ago to confess his feelings for me and told me he needed time (I am engaged to my fiancè of 5 years, my friend always knew I was in a relationship). I told him I was grateful and that he could take all the time he needed to feel better. The next day, he blocked me. Haven't heard from him ever since.Now Christmas is approaching. I don't know whether I should reach out to him with a Xmas card mailed to his home, wishing him a merry Christmas and wishing him the best for now and the future. I need closure. This would be last thing I would ever do unless he reaches out in the future (unlikely, knowing him). I feel like wishing him the best would help me move on from this close friendship he ended.Now the question is: Should I? Thank you guys

You hear in the news non stop on all the bad things that happens all the time, but the people you hate are untouched. why is that?

For example, I broke up with my ex boyfriend because I wanted to "focus on my career" but I've never met someone like him since. He was extremely smart (is now a Medical Doctor), nice, very handsome, funny, and loyal and loving. Now he's engaged to a beautiful doctor they met in medical school. I made a mistake and I regret it

I made plans to hang out with some friends and i no longer feel like going, i want to cancel but i dont want to seem like anything s wrong, i just rather stay home. But because its been awhile since I ve seen them it feels wrong of me to cancel. What do you guys think

So, I moved into a new building as many college students do to gain superior authority over their own lives... Now people that are way older than me do not leave me alone. If we never hung out when we were kids, and never went to school together... What makes you think I want anything to do with you? I'm studying in college and don't have time to become friends with certain. Individuals. Especially those local people that do bad for themselves. There's a very set limit to people I would allow in my door. And If I ever did, consier it a privellage. I'm busy with school and homework. I don't have time to chat and I hang out with people that are youth... Like 18-25; I'm scared of why all these adults want to be friends with me. I'm not into drama, fighting and talking about negative experiences, negative people or things like marijuana, alcohol etc. I'm still studying and deserve some peace and quiet. Stop trying to hang out with me. I have manic depressive anxiety over this. Is there any way to make those people leave me alone? I don't want a friendship with anybody other than family members or kids from school. There's like a very few limited amou t of people I would let in my door or talk to me. Do I have to start dressing like some gothic freak so you get the picture? Leave me alone.  I'm BUSY! I don't need friends... I have many. Plenty... what are some good ways to make people stop approaching you? Any body have any idea on how I get these people to just leave me alone? 24 Amount*
