I meet this woman at work last year we became friends or so I thought. She asked me to join the gym so we can work out daily. I wasnt interested  in joining a gym at all but she kept asking me to join the gym so we can work out  together.  I joined she came twice stood me up 8 times dint even apologized and to this day she still haven't showed up I just cancel membership  She tells me that we are going to do all type of things again she never shows up or call to cancel. I text her she reads the text but never reply back. Is this a true friend should I drop this lady I finally told her she never keeps her word she stop talking to me

Today my sister moved away from our hometown, after graduating college to work and be with her significant other (who left also for work a few months back).  I can't help but be extremely sad about this, although I am very happy for her. We have been through so much together and we often spent so much time together. She was like my best friend. She didn't have her license or anything, so she would often ask me to hang out or to bring her to specific stores, go on errands etc. Just driving by some of the places we would go to made me just cry. I can't even imagine not getting a message from her saying "hey, what are you doing today? Wanna go to....?"  Am I selfish to feel this way? I only want the best for her but it's really sad knowing she won't be here anymore.  Our parents sadly aren't alive anyone and she is more or less the only family I have. 

Me and my friend Lisa (not her real name) and my other friend, Noel (also not her real name) sit upstairs for lunch. It used to be five of us before everyone ditched us. I semi understand why my friend wants to leave because Lisa treats her less than human, but that is her general personality and kind of does it with everyone. Lisa treats her like this because Noel is new to the group and has been friends with us for 4 months (Lisa and I have been friends for 15 years). I just feel awful because two of our best friends already ditched us. She makes her feel terrible about herself and she is sick of it and wants to leave. Is she doing the right thing? I don't want her to leave but I'm not going to leave my best friend? she has been friends for us for five months

Are they calling your friend ugly ?

Hi everyone, Please help me interpret this - I have Aspergers and struggle to do so myself. I just please wanted to ask for some help in interpreting this particular response to one of my messages. I think the tone of the message (below) sounds angry at me, and that this person hates me now. I posted to someone who I once knew from school that I was lonely at uni and that I had no friends and that people were calling me names. I felt very down and under pressure at Uni when I did, and think that this person is angry at me now. Do you think this is good advice to what I posted, or do you think this person hates me? He responded: 'First of all you need to chill. You are not a retard. The dictionary definition does not apply to you because you are social and you know how to interact with people. Only you can change your loneliness. Throw caution to the wind. Join a club/society. Ignore those who insult you - you have dealt with worse at school. If you think you have no friends then you are wrong. Look up the definition of friend in a dictionary and apply it to people you know. It's not all about uni work. You need to put yourself out there and friends will come your way.' Do you think that this is good advice, or do you think that the person who wrote it now hates me and is angry at me? Is this person my friend or have I made them angry at me? Thank you all so much for any advice.

i just had a fight with my mother and i started yelling stupid stuff and i really felt like i hurt her, we have never had a fight like that,she went to sleep and i dont know what to do. I know im a terrible person and i know i should have never had a fight with her i feel guilty to the point that im having shortness in breath and i cant think about anything else

I said to someone that I have on my Facebook from University that I had no friends to talk to anymore when I was feeling a little down. Their response was 'Tom you can always talk to me :) ' Is this person suggesting that I am their friend? Is this something you would say to someone you care about?

What does it mean when you tell someone that you think someone else is prettier then you and then that person says you're just as pretty as the next one? 

My best friend and I have been friends for 13 years and we have always wanting to go to New Orleans together and get a group of friends to go. She has talks the talk but doesn't walk the walk. And the other day I told her that if she seriously wanted to go to New Orleans for thanksgiving we have to get the hotel now. She claims she has no money and no babysitter for her 2 year old son  she has  family and friends willing to watch him and she recently started a teaching job and has the money to go. This happens all the time. She starts to plan things and says nevermind. And she doesn't want me to go to New Orleans without her.  How do I tell her I'm not going to put my life on my hold for a friend just because she has a kid? Please do not comment about this seeming like a couple cause we're not and I know there's gonna be at least one person who comments like that 

My best friend is about 7 months pregnant and lost her mother a few weeks ago very suddenly. I've looked everywhere to try and create a Christmas gift for her but can't find anything that she hasnt already gotten from someone else. I want something she can put in her son's room. They're doing a jungle theme and I want something to tie into that. The closest idea I have is a quote that says "I love you as high as I can reach" with a mama and baby giraffe. Any ideas on how to maybe tie that into having something to do with her mom? She's always been the type to already have everything she wants so I really want something that'll be a one of a kind thing.

I've been friends with a girl for several years. She doesn't have a great family, so she picked up some bad habits from them. The first 2 years were pretty good. She was selfish (because her family is extremely so); I'd do a lot for her, but she'd never help or even thank me. She would always vent to me but didn't want to hear anything about my life. And she had strong opinions that she'd always push on me, then get mad or ignore me if I disagreed. But besides that, we were good friends and had some things in common. But the last couple years she's rebelled against her family, our church, basically everything she can. Some is understandable, but a lot is weird. And I think she's started to hate, or at least dislike me.  She doesn't care about me, she's never really been interested in my life, but even less so lately. The last year and a half she ignored most of my texts, and when she does respond it's with no interest. She never wants to talk to me, she only comes over to watch tv and get away from her family. And she's started to almost brag about everything she does that she knows I don't agree with. I'm at college now, and I don't text her much because I know she doesn't have any interest in me, but she still pretends to be my friend when I come home so she can come to my house. She moves out in a few months, and I know she'll never talk to me again once she does. But she's stringing me along until she leaves so she can get things from me until then. (continued below)

not happy that they're upset but just because that means they care about u and stuff

if you and your friend get involvement in an argument and one punches the other? is the friendship irreparable? will they always be resentful and wish bad for you and dislike you even though they say they still want to be friends?

Im tired of this world, i basically have done everything i wanted. Party my face off, travel every year, pretty good job, nice place etc etc I honestly wish i was never born, but im here so im just going thru life with a whatever attitude. Working, paying bills, dealing with problems, im just tired of it. Nothing really that special about this world.

I feel like I'm drifting apart with my friends and other people I know. our conversations seem to be shorter than usual and I feel like I'm often left out? Is it just me or am i just overthinking things?

I know that this isn't really a question but it's been bothering me for a while now. So basically, there's this guy who is a big meanie. I'm gonna say his name because he doesn't deserve his privacy in my opinion. Actually, never mind he might see this :/ let's call him Ross. So, before I start, I used to be friends with this guy, but he decided to leave me for Ross, so... anyways. Whenever we're doing schoolwork and I have to work with him and I do something wrong, he always says that that's the reason why that friend left me. It hurts. I recently learned that he pretends to punch me in the back of my head when I'm not looking. He also pretends to spit on me, he also calls me slow and reminds me that that's probably why my friend left me, and to be honest, I started to believe him. There was also a time where me and my friend were joking around I was pretending to lift her up, and then he was like, "why are you even trying to do that? look at your size, you're like a midget, the majority of third graders are taller than you, etc." I'm very insecure about my height, because I'm 4'8 which isn't too bad but he thinks it is which is why I'm insecure about it :/. I was also joking around with more friends and I said that I'm strange because I am, and I guess he heard wrong, and this really hurt because he said this with my ex friend. He said, "that's where it gets funny" and my ex friend said," and then they started to laugh, and I'm very sensitive. what do you think? 

I just wanted to get some advice. I am thinking of reconnecting with some old grade school friends. I went through a lot of personal problems and isolated myself for many years but did positive things when i was on my own. I am nearly completing my bachelor's degree and am progressing at work as a technician. I briefly spoke to one of those people not too long ago and he seemed eager to reconnect. But I cant help but wonder if they are still angry with me for things that happened decades ago. Going through the problems of society, I assaulted the person, but we still were good friends because life is boring and uneventful at times and you learn to make the most of things no matter what. I am confused and feeling helpless. I dont know what to do. I do not wish bad on them but I can't help worrying if the person will eventually turn on me.
