listening to music and working out especially running has helped me get over the most recent woman I liked. I liked her for 8 months. I got over her last year. I met her at my job. She's one of the few females I've fallen for, who I've asked out on a date and asked for her cell # (usually I'll just flirt or just have normal conversation or just be too chicken to approach a woman I'm attracted to). She ended up leading me on. She got promoted 2 times out of nepotism (she has family that works at my job and she bought my head manager in my department lunch at times whenever he didn't feel like eating the work cafeteria lunch). She's been at my job less than me as she started like March or April of 2018 and she's already had 3 management positions and has given herself 4 vacations. While she was a supervisor of mine in my department (her second position), she watched one of my male coworkers threaten to fight me in the parking lot and he had to be restrained by several employees and she didn't write him up or suspend him. A few days after he tried to fight me, she took a break with him, her older sister who works at my job and another person in the work cafeteria. I don't hate her but she's garbage to me (her older sister is garbage to me too as her older sister made up false allegations about me to get me fired at me; I got rehired 2 months ago). Luckily, my job is union and nobody really believed her older sister who claimed that I was in love with her, threatened and harassed her. Guys who fall for a woman's sister usually if not always get involved with the first sister and besides her older sister is married with 2 kids. Since coming back to work 2 months ago, I just ignore the older sister and have been ignoring the younger sister since early February of last year when she didn't care that I got her valentine's.  I tried to make peace with the older sister when I came back by typing up an apology letter and she didn't bother to read it.  She told me, "I accept your apology but I don't want to read it." I'll talk to my head manager and my other supervisor in my shift but I won't talk to her even if it's work related as she's just messed up. 

I'm a 21 year old guy. Back in October or so I became friends with a 48 year old woman. Here's how it happened. I work as a cashier at the grocery store and this woman has been a customer of mine for years. What happened was we came across each other on social media and we discovered we had a mutual friend. So we added each other and she started to message me frequently to chat. Then she revealed some personal stuff to me. That she is in an abusive relationship with a boyfriend she lives with. Basically, my friend here likes me a lot and thinks I'm a great person and cool and she wants to be a close friend of mine. She wants me to hang out with her and stuff. She comes into the store more often than ever to see me. It's hard on me because it wasn't really an organic forming of a friendship. It was more like a kidnapping.... truthfully. She has my social media, where I work, etc. she can be kind of stalker ish. She's a cool person, and I do like her, but her troubled life and stuff makes me feel a little weary of her. Not to mention, in my opinion, it's odd a 48 year old woman likes me, a 21 year old man so much. Thoughts?? We met up for coffee once a couple months ago. But we mostly just communicate when either she comes into my store or on social media. She is pushing me to actually hang out with her. I have a big heart, and she knew that. I think she needs a real friend. I'm just... weary.

Right on New Year's Eve, my family had a party and an old friend of mine ended up coming, long story shot we ended up hooking up but he used to be talking to my best friend. I know that what I've done is bad and the worse thing is I don't take it back and I think I'm catching feelings? I don't wanna loose my bestfriend but I don't know what to do. 

i have mixed feelings if i should still be friends with my only freinds sometimes drama will happen and they blame me for things i didnt say but i still want to keep being friends with them?  I still care about them. I wish these types of feelings would go away.

Someone who gets paranoid at random times and gets rid of all of their friends , changes their number and starts back over and repeats this cycle throughout the year ? What could be wrong with her ? Disappears then shows up seems fine , then changes and I end up deleted off her friends list and the cycle repeats .  I thought she was my friend but it's a repeat to everyone .

Im a shy girl but I have 2 outgoing and popular friends. We have a friend group of maybe 8 people, and they're all popular and outgoing except for me. My 2 closest friends are the people I feel most comfortable with and feel like I can be myself with. However, when Im with the rest of them, I get nervous and uncomfortable. When were ALL hanging out, I can get comfortable since I have my 2 best friends with me. I feel like its because of my 2 best friends that I even have more friends at all. Also it feels horrible being the most unpopular friend in the group. Without them, Id be the quiet loser girl. Do I try to be more outgoing or something? Would that make me feel better? My other friends are nice to me but I know they're only friends with me because we have mutual friends (my 2 best friends) :(

I am over 40 and cant make friends. I'm not mentally challenged and I dont have a disease and I dont have a disability. I have had several boyfriends but  I have never been able to make a friend with the same gender. What is the deal here?

Long story short, friend has been having fireworks/bbq on their farm for several years(4th of July &  New Years) always a big event with friends and family  This year my kids were sick and we were not able to attend. I called my friend to let her know days in advance and she told me she wasn't sure if she'd would be having it this year. She (along with other people who live on their county road) had received a postcard from a new neighbor who was demanding no one do fireworks due to the fact that he was a veteran and that he had outdoor dogs/animals that may be frightened. Seems odd that someone would request this given that everyone usually does fireworks and that it would be out if their control to stop it Forgot to add that they ended up cancelling fireworks 

When I was in high school my friend and I came across a tumblr post about how it was wrong to make girl scout cookies when they were out of season and how the recipies were taking from girl scouts. I have not been able to find this rant again PLEASE help me find it 

I met this girl about 2.5 years ago. We really got along to the point where we were mutually "best friends". I can't explain how different I am now. I find a lot of the things that she does immature and attention-seeking. I can confidently say that she romanticizes mental illnesses like depression + ED and exploits them for attention. As somebody who has dealt with those things first hand and has witnessed other people go through them, I can tell that she either seriously over-exaggerates or just straight-up fakes it.I understand everyone experiences disorders differently and may show it in different ways or not at all, but from her I only see her using it as a way to get pity and attention from others. Additionally, she never takes any of the help that I offer her or direct her to for her questionably real mental illnesses, or listens to any of the advice I give her. Despite trying to help her (in case her illnesses are real), she brags to me about how she skips meals or punches walls or something else along those lines. It feels sometimes like I'm trying to fill a cup with no bottom. Bottom line though, she hasn't been rude or mean to me at all and even makes attempts to listen to me through her self-centeredness when I want to talk. It often feels like she's just doing that to support her image of herself being the perfect friend though. I have played along with the best friend thing so far, and I don't want to hurt her feelings or spring this seemingly out of the blue.

I got a call from a girl I used to date wanting to have lunch and catch up on old times. We had a nice lunch and after lunch she told me she was ready to settle down and get married. She said "Your advice was always right on the mark when we were dating and she needed some advice now". I told her "sure, how can I help you". She had been talking to some of her gal pals and they told her to find a husband, she should have a boob job. She wanted to know if that was true. I told her to forget about a boob job. She had many qualities that trumped a boob job in the view of most men. She was beautiful, smart, had a great personality. She was very relieved about what I had told her. She said, "I don't have the money for a boob job anyway". "I am also afraid of surgery". Guys, let me know if what I told her was correct and gals that have a husband, what do you think of my advice? I just gave her my opinion. I am not an expert in this area.

We are in 9th grade and I have been best friends with her for 9 years already. We have always been good kids and never had a desire to drink or do drugs. I found out that she was drinking and maybe drunk with one of my other friends. They got drinks from another friend and I saw some texts of my best friend saying "I can't even walk properly ahaha" and "literally we wouldn't have so much fun without the vodka". I am a non-drinker and I know all the bad impacts of drinking. I really care about her and I don't want her to fall into this path and things like drinking and doing drugs to be a routine for her. I am sad not mad about her doing this and I just want to help. I don't know what to do and I don't want to ruin our friendship. Is there anything I can say or do to make her stop?

I wanna go to a summer camp in America, (Im from israel) This camp will be with the Americans too I don't have anyone to go with so if I'll go it will be alone My English is kinda good but Im scared that I'll be alone there and won't make any friends because I'm kinda shy/ insecure ..

He sent me a video of him and his cousin playing and singing (him and I share a passion for music) and wrote: " I miss you on such gatherings. My mum turned 60"  "Did your heart skipped a beat when you watched and heard the video"  Even the song they were singing was saying: " Do you know how much I miss you..."

I really cared about her and was protectively her because sometimes she who Would get picked on. She was like a little sister to me. One day a guy was bugging her and I told him to leave her alone, Did I do the right thing?

I Me and a friend are in college and went to another dorm for some food and drinks. She left her stuff in my dorm which is in the next building (this is relabent a little later). I had some beer before we went and drank more there. She told me that she has 3 projects and a test that week that she needed to work on and study for, and still volunteered to go to the dorm with me. My roommate joined us and my friend asked if I wanted to leave. I said no, but gave her my room key and told her to go back to my room, work on her homework and stay the night since her dorm was across campus. I would go back with my roommate later. She wouldn't leave since I was "way too drunk" which I was not . Anyways my roommate was sober and wanted to stay and would "keep an eye on me and make sure nothing happened." My friend would t leave for a few hours and had a panick attack and started crying about all the work she had to do. I was in another room and didn't know this was happening. She said that she was "stuck here with me and couldnt leave even though I had given her my key and told her to go to my room countless times hours before. She finally calmed down  and my roommate convinced her to go to leave. My roommate and I stayed a couple hours more before heading back. This was 3 days ago and my friend still won't talk to me. I've apologized countless times but she won't talk to me. What should I do?

Do you see anything wrong with a 30 Year old hanging out or being friends with a 42 Year old 

I first want to thank you for reading this because I've tried reaching out to people around me for advice but my friend doesn't really like me interacting with other girls or boys our age, It's only been the two of us so I want to help her out as much as possible. I recently made a friend's with a girl whom I thought was very gorgeous after transferring to a new school and her mother and father are both doctors which you can already tell that she's well off from the bat. I noticed that she has been taking me everywhere from dining to fancy restaurants to shopping at designer stores. She said she likes my company very much and insists on spending time and money only with me. I tried talking to her about her spending habits and trying to explain to money that our friendship shouldn't only be based on her spending money but she literally cried and apologized for some odd reason. I also noticed that she tends to only hang out with me so I feel really awful that I cant match her financial wise. We have sleepovers and ''dates'' with each other on the regular since she says she feel lonely but it makes me feel even worse because of the amount of money she's spending. I don't know what to do at this point because even if I talk to her about it, she will cry or take it the wrong way.

I recently joined an LGBT+ chat room to try to find some friends. I find it hard to make friends within my community so I thought it might be easier to make some online. And I have in fact met a couple of really nice people. One I became really good friends with and we've video chatted a couple of times so I know it's not some old man. Is it safe to make friends online? I'm always just kind of worried when I do because I have no idea who's really behind that screen most of the time.

Im 16 and im mature to a lot of people outside (my friends, teachers, acquaintances, etc) but im not at home. My family always complains to me how immature I am at home and how irresponsible I am, etc. I just feel so fake being mature outside of my home and I just get to let loose and express myself how I want at home, and its deemed "immature." what should I do

My best friend didn't invite me to her party. She had told me weeks prior she thought she might throw one and that if she did I would be invited and she would tell me the details then... well I wasn't. I've seen it all over social media, including her page and she still hasn't said anything to me. I don't have a problem with anyone she invited, i'm actually pretty good friends with most of them, so I know it's not because she was worried about drama starting or something. How do I ask her why she didn't invite me? 

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?

Winter break is almost over and I have to start school soon. I really don't want to go I have no friends and my english teacher is really mean and bullies me in front of the class and she's also really stressful. I also don't want to go to youth group in the evening because my crush will avoid me and not talk to me like usual
