I like her alot. I have for almost a year. But anxiety stopped me from achieving anything.. I can't upproach her and get close to her to become her friend. You know what hurts the most? I can't get close or be anyone's friend. Meanwhile she, a really shy girl, but co-workers who talk to her like her alot. I can predict the future, and soon enough she will start to be invited to parties where I won't be included. She will meet other guys with the help of her friends (who dislike me). She will find somebody and I'll be here rotting in a corner. I really can't do this anymore. I just want these feelings to stop. I don't want to have feelings for anyone anymore. Im always unconfortable around people and ofc they get uncomfortable aswell.. I can't change.

they're quite subservient to me now but not as subservient as I'd like them to be.What should I do?

My friend told me she recently met a young woman, who she invited over a few times. Made her food, shared her alcohol and even gave her clothes. But she found out she had been taking petty things from her like makeup and other little bits. Why would somebody do that? 

I want some opinions and reasons why people ignore others or ignore family. I sent message to my mom asking what she's up to, she saw it and said nothing. Then she messages my adult daughter who lives with me, talking to her. I get ignored by others too. Thinking of giving up socializing because no one talks to me anyway. Tired of making effort just to be ignored. Tired of contacting people first. Wondering what I did to be treated this way.

One of my friends borrowed a workbook from our teacher. She let me have it, saying she didn't need it anymore. Then last week she asked me if I still needed it. I said yeah and then we left it at that. But I think maybe she might be upset that I didn't give it back to her last week, especially since we have our exam tomorrow. I texted her to ask if she needed me to send her pages of the book or anything today, because I just started studying for math, and realized she was bookless. She said she never got a book, but is done studying so I can keep it. Idk she just seems passive aggressive mad and I really wasn't thinking about her going without a book last week. I really didn't consider it until now. Am I overreacting or should I apologize?

so there's this guy my best friend hooked up with once maybe twice at parties. i never really talked to him before, but i've always thought he was cute and one night when i was blackout drunk he was trying to hook up with me but i didn't do anything out of the sake of my friend. she found out we were alone for 20 mins (nothing happened) and got extremely mad at me, even though i asked her if she would be okay with me doing anything with him later that night, even though one of my other best friends told me i should do it. she got mad at me for asking if it would be okay even though i did it out of respect as i know she doesn't have feelings for him and she's basically dating like 4 other guys. she accused me of lying then left, then i got even more drunk and did end up hooking up with him later, which i'm not sure if she knows about, but i haven't told her. i know i shouldn't have done that but i was very very drunk, my friend told me to, i barely remember it, and was upset at my friend's outburst when i hadn't even done anything. i texted her a very long sincere apology but have gotten no response. i was drunk that night and genuinely don't remember 99% of my interactions with him, but i know that i would never intentionally hurt her or ever do anything like this again. i want my friend back, what should i do? i'm thinking of just giving her some space for a while, i'm not really sure what else to tell her especially since i don't remember majority of the night.

Are they dropping hints that they're tired of you texting too much?

I am a 25 year old single guy that is good friends with Ann who is a 35 year old single mom who has a 15 year old daughter Amy that I am friends with also. I was talking to Ann and she said she had a big favor to ask of me. She said she and Amy both thought I was a terrific guy and that Amy was just starting to date and Amy needed a male influence in her life. Amy wants me to be her male influence guy and Ann thinks that is a great idea if it is OK with me. I asked what would I need to do. Ann said mostly just be available for Amy to talk to and give her advice and sometimes help her with her homework. Occasionally I would take Amy and Ann to dinner or a show or to a ball game. I would be helping Amy grow up to be a normal and productive person that was comfortable around men as she had never had men in her life before. I like to help people when I can and I don't see any downside to this. Perhaps there is one that I don't know about. Do you know of any? This experience might help me when I get married and have children of my own. Just to be clear, I HAVE NO ROMANTIC INTEREST IN EITHER ANN OR AMY. Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks

I am a guy college student that is always short of cash. The only job I could find to fit my hours with great pay was at a legal brothel. I maintain their computer system. My fellow employees are all my good friends. They sometimes help me with my college home work. All of us sometime go out for a meal an since they are making a lot more money than I am they pay for the meal. They ask me recently to be their training customer. They want to improve their skills so they can make more money and practice their skills on me. Do you think I should get paid for this extra work I am doing for them?

It's kind of a long story but i do not know what to do anymore.  Me and my ex-best friend had a fight in the beginning of the year and we haven't talk to each other since then. We unfriended each other on Facebook and Instagram and we blocked each other out of our life's. But know i think back to the 8 years of a wonderful friendship we had, we told each other everything. (Like every thing). i kind off miss those times. We would have sleep overs at each others home stay up all night laughing or watching movies. i don't know what to do or if she misses me back. Can i please get your opinion. P.S. I'm a guy and shes a girl. Were both teenagers. (We had a really wonderful friendship, and i'm kinda missing the fun times..... does she???)

What would you do if you have a best friend that is can't always be here for you?

I have a friend that is older than I and she became more of a mother figure to me. I called her mom, I treated her like I would a real mother etc. The problem that while I was treating her as a real mom she was thinking of herself more as a "motherly figure". This lead to many arguments and finally we've decided to distance ourself. I am heartbroken. I feel like I have lost a mother. She told me that she would never leave me and yet I feel totally abandoned. Does anyone have any tips for how to move forward? She says she wants to remain friends but this is painful. 

im 15 turning 16 the end of this month :( my uncle always tells me im too old for everything i do and it makes me feel bad and old, like watching cartoons and stuff. i dont feel comfortable doing it around adults anymore i really like having sleepovers with my friends, am i too old for it?

Last night I was out with a friend, went for a few pints and then left my friend to go meet other friends and some girls at a club in my hometown. The taxi was £20 so we stopped off at a garage cash point and to my absolute luck, the cash point decided I'm going to be a huge inconvenience and f@ck this guys whole night up by swallowing his card so he's stranded in this random area very far from home. I know I shouldn't of, but also knew my night was over and the taxi driver isn't going to get me to the club as my friends were already in the club and wouldn't be able to bail me out, I was very p..ssed off and punched the screen a good few time until it's cracked and then proceeded to walk a very long 2 hours and 45 minutes to get home. Both sets of knuckles are pretty cut, I'm not bothered about that, but waking up now I'm thinking ffs I hope they don't fine me or something. What's the chances this is gonna be noticed?

I have a new friend of mine in grad school who is really kind and nice to me, asked me to lunch several occasions. I was scrolling through her instagram/facebook as I always do when meeting someone new and I noticed her two best friends from undergrad's profiles are nothing but political spew on how Obama was a terrorist because of his last name and other racially charged things. My question is, is it plausible to think my friend DOESN'T take part in that/shares those beliefs DESPITE how incredibly close they are

I'm an adult man in my mid 30s. Still single. I'm having a difficulty to find a friend to go to a vacation together. Due to the facts, my friends are married with children and they are too busy with their children. Now I need a break from my work and need a vacation. I need ideas how I can have a vacation since I have no one to go with?

Don't got no friends no money no mother

I'd like to hear stories; I need some inspiration.

Fo you use transition words such as moreover, next, then, in addition, to add on, also, etc? Do you be as specific as possible, such as "One of my sins is pushing my friend sally during class and then making fun of her about it"? Do you be more vague? Or is there a specific way to list your sins? How many do we usually do? I usually do more broad topics such as not doing my homework or not being a nice to my parents. However, I usually end up taking way less time than all the other people. Am I doing something wrong? Please, any advice would be appreciated, thank you!

Ok so I've been told I look good , hot and could be a model before. I don't dress revealing though. I hav 0 friends whatsoever and sometimes my throat actually hurts after I've had to speak more than a few sentences to people (because it so rarely happens). There's not a clear reason for why people see to avoid and hate me. It goes against me being supposedly attractive. Only thing weird is probably that I'm awkward and quiet in conversation but thats because I've been selectively mute since I was a kid (obviously now its not nearly as bad), and a result of having no friends since high school (where i would sit alone in the cafeteria during lunches after the few "friends" i thought i had literally abandoned me out of the blue and decided to pretend i wasnt even talking to them one day...that hit hard and i decides to not bother them and just resign to being a loner). Am a female

She's 22 years old I find it quite childish  I was eating and some of my food dropped onto the sofa and left a stain so I used dishwashing liquid and water to clean the stain but it left a bigger mark on the light grey fabric sofa. I then used a vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, kitchen towels and hand towel to try to dry the mark to no avail. I posted a message in the group chat about it. Ever since she's been giving me the silent treatment.

Thinking that fools are the correct people to be friends with? 

I have a best friend, a guy best friend whom I sit with in all my glasses and a gang that is pretty close, but since I switch up where I am in my free periods Im not as close as the others. I have friends, but they are mostly Boys and game all weekend or are introverts. And some girls friends whom I meet sometimes. I have another best friend in a city far away. The thing is in school I am all set, I have somebody to talk to, even though our group is small and the rest of the class are a big group Who go to big parties together, I feel okay in school. In my free time however, except for a couple of occasional meetups and me and my best friend hanging out sometimes, I am pretty much alone. Im 16 and at my age People are out with friends ALL THE Time. I never get invited to parties and feel so weird for it. I have never shown any interest in it tho, and as a child I was stuck up and used to be that know-it-all Who stopped them from being little bitches so I guess thats understandable. I am really shy and dont really talk to them or want to invade other People so I dont make friends easily because I dont want to brother anyone. Might explain why I dont get invited out. I am bad at making new friends, and have had mine for a long time. The problem is I never think anyone wants to hang out so I never take initiative and feel like **** when people dont ask me out, even tho they do it. I have confidence issues, anyone Who can help with my situation? Appreciate your time :)
