What does it mean when someone calls you rhythmic? 

I've been in this internet group for quite a while, and I really like all the people in it. We start a lot of calls and I'm known as the person who doesn't talk, so I write more than anything, but nowadays I've been more open to talking more.  With one guy though, I always talk with him, he's the only one who I can talk with. If in the call there are more people than him I shy out. I love that guy, and he already knows. I got the answer I expected, and I agree with him. Not the point tho. In the group, I already felt lots of insecurities about how they feel about me so I typed lots of really long messages about them. After that, I always felt kinda relieved but I did it so many times that I think it could be annoying, so I came here to ask how I can feel relieved without bothering anyone. If I talked maybe they would appreciate me more... He is always talking or calling his friend, ignoring other people. And if it's not other people it's me, because of the other people actually talk. His friend is always talking to either him or his crush, making me feel like I'm not even there. This only happens sometimes, other times I am well received, and those are the best times I ever have in the group. But I'm really tired to feel like I'm in a rollercoaster all the time, going up and down constantly. I want to get off this rollercoaster, feel relieved without needing to leave them all. But I don't want to bother them with this thought.  Tell me please, How do I feel relief again?

When I was growing up, my mom only allowed me to be friends with other kids, if she knew who their parents were. Since we all lived in the same neighborhood and went to the same school, it was easy for my mom to keep an eye on me. That changed when I started high school and I started to outgrow my childhood friends. My new friends and I had the same interests but since they all lived in different neighborhoods, my mom refused to allow me to hang out with my new friends outside of school. Initially, she claimed it was because they lived in neighborhoods that were too dangerous and said that I should stick with my friends from the neighborhood, even though I had already lost touch with them. Eventually, she relented and was willing to let me hang out with my high school friends but only if they were willing to come to my hang out in my neighborhood and with my old friends, most of whom I had not spoken to since graduating and had already moved on and made new friends of their own in their new high schools. As time went on, my high school friends stopped asking me to hang out with them and even though I am still good friends with most of them, I am not as close to them as others in my school. Whenever I mention my friends from high school, my mom insists that I didn't have friends in high school, only acquaintances and that my childhood friends were my only true friends. Was my mom too strict? 

I just think sitting down to pee is more relaxing

i found out this weekend when we were making out and i began undressing her. seeing that tattoo totally killed the mood for me. she said she got the tattoo when she was young and dumb and infatuated with him. that was before he began beating her and she found out what an aee hole he really was. i really like this girl but i'll never get used to seeing that picture of that b@stard on her. should we break up?

There is a white girl at my school who insists she can call me the n word even though I've told her many times that i dont care what black people let her call them that and to not call me that but she keeps calling me the n word so i started calling her cracker every time she calls me n*gga. I wouldn't mind if she didn't start conversations like : "ayeee my n*gga! I was wondering where your short black *ss was! How ya been n*gga?" And stuff like that. I've repeatedly told her to stop calling me that but she doesn't seem to understand or care. Is responding to her calling me n*gga by calling her cracker rude? I won't stop until she does but i just wanna know.  I'm asking if I'm being rude, not if the girl is being rude 

I have a family friend that was on drugs for 1-3 years maybe (we lost touch several years ago). I found them on social media and messaged them. I know they were in rehab, they're out now going to meetings, been sober for some time. My friend asked to hang out 3 times in the week, but they say I'm sorry I was busy. I know it takes time for someone that was on drugs to process. I never dealt with someone that was on drugs before. Is forgetfulness apart of the process? Even asking simple questions "what time are you free to hang out?", they never say a time, they ask when am i free. What is my friend's mindset like now since they're sober from drugs?  Thanks in advance!

I need advice! I recently moved into an apartment with my best friend. My mother has bipolar disorder and her boyfriend was quite inappropriate towards me so I decided to move out. I work full time and although it's my dream to go to school and save money I'd rather financially struggle then mentally struggle. So moving back to my moms really isn't too healthy for me. I couldn't afford to live on my own so my best friend said she'd move with me! We found a great affordable place. Before moving in we discussed our habits. We both agreed we're extremely clean people! yay! and she also said her boyfriend wouldn't be coming over too much at the apartment since he has his own job and school. It hasn't even been a full month. I've come to find she never does the dishes. She never cleans after herself. She had friends over the other night and the place was a complete disaster after! I felt not right so I went to visit my grandmother for 2 days. when I came back nothing was done! I gave in and cleaned everything myself. She leaves old food in the fridge. She doesn't clean up after herself. and now her boyfriend lost his job and car and dropped out so now he is here all the time! Using our shower and eating my food. I love my friend but this is just not sitting right with me! I feel like a lot of times I have to just shut myself into my room. I don't know how to bring this up to her in a nice way. I don't know how to communicate it's something I struggle with a lot!

My friend has a daughter who has autism and it seems "almost" impossible for her to just say "thanks", it only takes less than 2 seconds yet she still hides from the crowd and doesn't show gratitude.

My kids has started a friendship with another kid.  They have similar interests and have a lot of laughs when they are together.  My problem is the family have a lot of pets.  They have 8-10 dogs 18 cats bunnies birds a turtle and lizard.  The smell of cat pee in the house is overwhelming to the point it gives me a head ache after a few minutes.  My kid also smells it but doesn't seem to be bothered by it and I can smell it on my shoes after leaving.  I'm not sure if they know how bad it is because the kid said nobody sits with him on the bus because they say he smells like cat pee (and he does super strong) but he said he doesn't.  He doesn't have any friends.  Now my issue is I've raised my kid to not judge and to be friends with everyone and I can see why he likes this kid but what am I to do.  I don't want my kid to get sick from the air quality in their house also I don't want my kid to become the smelly kid from being there.  The kid doesn't want to come here and if he did how do I keep him from smelling up my house.  I feel like such a horrible person for even having to ask this question but I don't know how to handle this situation.  

i go to a performing arts high school where everyone's has their own major. in my major they all have their own friend groups and when i try to talk to them they'll laugh for a bit and talk to me but then quickly walk away and avoid me. i'm with them three periods a day and it's really difficult because i don't have any friends within it. outside of my major, i do have one friend however she is extremely toxic and is always rude and i confronted her about it and she said she would stop but she hasn't and she keeps on following me around everywhere. she's a terrible friend, i mean i wouldn't even consider her a friend but she's is my only acquaintance at the school. i eat lunch in the hallways usually because when i go up to anyone at lunch they just ignore me. i am extremely shy but not when you get to know me. initiating conversations doesn't work. it's also very hard to make friends with people within other majors because they tend to like being friends with people within their major. i don't fit in anywhere! there's the kids who like anime, or the one  who do drugs, or the ones who like to hook up with boys but i just don't belong. i don't know what to do! i have many friends outside of school and in middle and elementary school, i don't know why high school is so difficult.  PLEASE HELP

I unexpectedly had to work late which was a problem for me. My 15 year old daughter needed a ride home from school. I asked a co worker and friend Bob if he could take her home form school and he agreed. She had met Bob previously. He picked her up from school and was driving her home. He asked her if she had any food for dinner at home and she said no. He ask her if she would like to join him for dinner and she immediately said yes. She thought they might go to Sizzler. He took her to Ruth Chris. She told me it was the best meal she ever had in her life. She was so excited about the great meal she called me at work and told me about it. The next day at work I thanked Bob for driving my daughter home from school and especially for the great dinner they had. My daughter said beside the great meal Bob was a lot of fun to be with. I told Bob I would pay him for my daughter's meal. He said "No Way" would he take any money. He said I was happy to be able to help you. Would it be appropriate for me and my daughter to take Bob out for a meal? The problem we can not afford anything near as expensive as Ruth Chris.

Ok I have this drama going on and my friend andrea left me. Here what happened. I texted her saying that I love her and come sit by me with gay texts. She got a boyfriend. I do this so I can prank her. Unfortunately she unfollow me on instagram and said she don't want to be my friend anymore. I tried apologizing to her but she keep declining. I have another plan to bring her back. I make a fake account to said that my other friend (which I made it all up) saying that she did it. She knew it was me and told me I'm getting blocked. I felt like a dumbass and embarrassed. I barely got friends at school and she the only person I can trust but now she hates me. The reason why I do this so I can prank her and see her reaction. I don't love her that way and I'm not gay. I'm single. If I shouldn't have done that none of this wouldn't happened. It all my fault. Can you tell me how to get out of this solution? Btw we both are 11th graders.

I am in college and had a class with a girl my age. She laughed the hardest at stuff I say, smiles a lot at me and to stuff I say. She said hi when she saw me ask what's up. We had to do peer reviews and she came to my table sat next to me at my table. She sat between me and a woman Im friends with, talked to her she said something, smiled at me and looked deep into my eyes and didn't stop smiling and it felt awkward, if I didn't break the eye contact she probably would've continued. She was making forced eye contact and scratching her head while resting her head on her hand. One day I sat down waiting for class and sat with a woman I give a lot of attention to in class and she came in for class walked over and started waiting very close to me, hovering over standing in my personal space, she walked right in front of me and started getting close to me and I could smell her but she had her back to me. This was the closest she's been to me. There was a whole room not a lot of other people. When I talked about another girl that likes me that I don't like and asking for advice from a woman I talk to in college to not lead her on. She joined the conversation said that the other girl will continue pushing and I have to ignore all together and tell her I'm not interested. This was the biggest response I got from her and longest convrsation. She started this stuff after I asked for advice, . I told her someone said my hair looks like the clown from it and she said that's not nice. I saw her in the hall one day we stopped seeing each other in class. She saw me and stopped and asked me how my classes were this semester and she had the biggest smile on her face. I ask her stuff and it's like she has a hard time with conversation but has the biggest smile on her face talking to me. I said my advisor would kick me out bc he knows I smoke pot and she says "awww" I do get an awkward forced vibe from her. I asked her how her classes were and it went over her head. I crossed paths with her one day and she wasnt all dolled up and she was looking down not trying to make eye contact and she wasn't wearing make up. She said hey very softly. Most recently we all had to meet in a lecture hall the biggest one on campus. She came in and saw me and sat 2 empty seats away from me.

I'm a 21 year old guy in college & my girlfriend is 19 & a very classy girl. This weekend, her childhood best friend was in town & we all hung out together. Her friend told a story about how when they were like 13 & whenever her parents were out of town for the weekend, they would have a sleep over when they were home alone & would both wear her moms lingerie around the house & cake on the makeup & smoke her dads cigarettes. My girlfriend said said that they just wanted to feel "grown up." She said she's never smoked since that time. What do you think about this? Is this weird? 

This person on the subway knew something was bothering me so he kept saying that I can tell him what's wrong even though he's a stranger and I kept saying I was fine. Wtf was wrong with him?! I wasn't fine but it wasn't his business.

My sister is 20 years old and likes to hang out with this terrible and trash 16-year-old. Now for some background. I used to be friends with this 16-year-old, during summer of 2018 me and her would talk about crushes, you know basic conversations you have with your friends, and I expressed my feelings about this guy I liked to her and later to find out she's a lying backstabber who ended up ******* him multiple times. My sister betrays me by hanging out with her and she is very hypocritical because when she ended her relationship with one of her friends she told me not to talk to them and that's exactly what I did. And this isn't the first time my sister has done this. Another instance was when I ended a relationship with another friend and it truly hurt, then my sister goes to make friends with them and EVEN hanging out with them. Really, what can I do?

I went to a small elementary school. Everyone knew each other, but after it was time to go to middle school, I split ways with my best friends, and that's normal, because you lose connection. In eighth grade, I met one girl that was at my elementary school too, but we had also gone to the same middle school at the time (lets call her R). R was my best friend over everyone.  Ok fast forward to last year (freshman year) and I rekindled a friendship with another two of my friends from my elementary school days. We spent every weekend together. One of them was a guy and one was a girl (let's call her A). Over the summer after freshman year, A got on meds for depression. A recently told me and the guy she didn't want to be friends with us for no reason whatsoever. By the way, me and the guy spent countless nights comforting each other through the rough patches of our life, mainly A's.  Ok now fast forward to THIS year: now R has starting becoming really good friends with A. We all have the same general friend group. I had a party for my birthday but still invited A, and R was there too. A seemed to not like me at all. Everything I said she would say "shut up!" Or "well that's not my problem." I still want to be friends with A, but it seems like she doesn't want to try to be friends with me ever again, and I would be ok with that. The problem is, she's taking my best friend, R away.  I don't know wether or not to confront A about being really shitty to me. I don't know what to do.

Brian Lopez used to work for the Arc Of San Antonio West Avenue as associate director of Day services He is also my best friend

"I hate you because I will have to wonder for the rest of my life why I wasn't enough"

She's the lead teacher. I'm a 1:1 assistant.  Let me start off by saying I'm very helpful I love to help in any way I can. I'm very kind, and forgiving. I've been dealing with this lady at work who's been picking on me since I started three years agoI assume she has more say than me, because she's at a higher position. She throws her work on me, which I happily/blindly accept but then she doesn't give me any credit for what I want. She's shady and I feel like she has tried to set me up a few times. I understand that she has high anxiety because of her actions (meltdowns) so I try to excuse and forgive her. I have an "it'll be a new day tomorrow" attitude, meaning that okay, if there's an issue today then tomorrow will be a fresh start. I don't bring any personal problems to work and take them out on anyone else. I'm young, is this something that most people experience at work? Should I find a new job? Should I report her behavior? Should I act like a *****/petty back to show her that she has me f**kd up? Any credit for what I've done *
