I have a big field trip coming up, and I asked my dad to be the chaperone for my group. I'm quite young, and I'm at "the age" where its normal for me, as a male, to have female friends. I invited 2 female friends (nothing more than friends) to join my group. They accepted, but now I'm starting to worry about my dad's reaction to them being in my group. I know he won't be upset, I'm just worried he will think I like them and he might ask me about it. I'm also concerned he might think I'm gay (although I'm not) due to the common idea that gay guys have female friends, especially at a younger age. Keep in mind, not everyone in my group will be female, just those two friends.

Last year I've had problems dealing with my roommate. If I had to list everything he did to me during his time living with me, I'd run out of space here. But the number one thing he did do was bring his girlfriend into our room literally everyday for an extremely long time (she would often sleep over without my permission). I absolutely hated her for her extreme immaturity and lack of consideration or respect for me and my living space. She was spending so much time with us that she practically lived there and I was paying for it. I once caught her and my roommate having sex and I was disgusted and annoyed. Living with the both of them was one of the worst experiences of my life and I let them walk over me every single day because I'm too friendly and too much of a "People-Pleaser". Luckily, my roommate has moved out, but now she is contacting me like she wants to come over, and I will not repeat what happened the last year again. I wanted to ask for advice for what I should do to get rid of her. Do I just ignore her messages and make a silent statement or what? Any advice would be strongly appreciated. Thank you! 

I'm in college. I have a friend who's the same age as me and I can't seem to figure out whether she's rich or poor. On the one hand, she's on financial aid and she genuinely seems to be struggling with stuff like copays when she goes to see the doctor. Her clothes look unkempt and beaten up and she has 2 jobs. One at the school dining hall and the other as a waitress at a diner. On the other hand, she drives a cadillac suv, has at least one package a day being delivered, she travels to Europe and Africa a lot and she has all these pictures in private jets, villas, etc. She wears a lot of torn clothes but I've been in her closet and noticed a few pieces from Vera Wang, Yves Saint Laurent and a few other designers. What's her deal? Ps. I've eliminated being an instagram model or an escort and her mom's a nurse so her family is very middle class.

she's in all of my classes and we're around each other 24/7. i've depended on her for so long but she just sucks the life and soul out of me. she starts arguments for no reason and is always fishing for attention. help?

I just moved from California to Arkansas, I started at a new school last Monday, so far I have made 0 friends. It sucks, I eat lunch alone, I usually hide at lunch. People don't seem interested in getting to know me, everyone already has their friends. There was a new guy who moved here and everyone wanted to be his friend, he moved here on Wednesday and he's pretty much popular now. What should I do? How do I make friends? I just want friends. 

they felt awful but really meant it. i can sorta understand it.

It's my friend whom I haven't seen for the longest. I'm only gonna stay there for a couple days. Then visit a family member. Both places are 3 hours away from each other. Basically I want to visit two people at once. Do I have to stay at my friend's for the rest of the remaining days? Cool

So there's this guy I met on Tinder and he is really sweet. The thing is, I have never met anyone on there and after we scheduled a date to get office, I cancelled on him right before because I had cold feet of meeting a stranger. He hasn't been pushy or anything. I told him I was sick, and a couple of days later he sent me a sweet text asking how I was doing. I didn't respond.  Yesterday, I received this text from him: "Hello, Leah. I just wanted to apologize if I did something wrong. I was really looking forward to having the chance to meet you, but I wanted to send you my sincere thanks for your texts. I really enjoyed having the chance to talk to you, and I hope you find what it is huh are looking for. Good luck!"  Does he seem kind of pushy? Would this irritate you? 

Just because I accidentally started eating the wedding cake at her wedding with my hands when she was making a toast. She called me distracting. I think she was also sad because I accidentally hit on her dad (I had no idea he was her dad) and then her mom confronted me in the bathroom and called me trashy. How do I prove that I'm a good friend?

I have a personality disorder that makes it hard for me to understand how socializing works and I have a hard time meeting people or making friends because of it. I just moved into an apartment by myself for college and don't know anyone or have any friends here. How can I meet (and befriend) some classmates and/or neighbors without it seeming weird or creepy? The apartment complex I moved into is popular with my college so a lot of the people around me go there if that helps. But i'm really looking to meet anyone whether they go to college with me or not. Any advise?

A long time ago I made a group chat with all my friends by accident idek how that happened and they all became friends and started ignoring me, I had no one at all even my best friend started ignoring me and my life fell apart just from that. I had one more friend left and they all started taking him away from me and now he's acting like them and he's completely stopped talking to me. And the girl I had left after that joined their little cult too and idk if one of them started talking about me or spreading **** because 2 of them didn't like me. How tf do I block them without them fighting back. But the thing that really upset me was one of the girls had hurt me and tried to leak my secrets and I told my friends for support now they're all friends with her im so broken I lost everyone and now my so called best friends are best friends with the girl who hates me and tried to leak me.

I am a 30 year old woman from India, who is lawyer, and I have been in the country for 5 years. Over the years I adapted to American culture and made many great friends, but dating is still very hard. I am very tall and full figured at 6'7 300 pounds, and I still have an accent. I would ask out men and get rejected. I met this guy who lives in the neighboring apartment, whose 23 and works as a bartender and fitness instructor. He moved here from Italy and we developed a friendship being international and adapting to American culture. I give him life advice and am his older mentor he goes to about his problems. He is a VERY handsome man 6'2 220 pounds all muscle. After 6 months knowing him I admitted that I was attracted to him and asked if wanted to have sex. He said that I was not his type and he wasn't into women taller than him. I told him that I respected his boundaries and his preferences. I told him about my struggles dating, and he offered to help me with dating and Introduce me to other men. We still hangout as normal friends, and know each-others friends now. He respects the fact I have sexual feelings for him, and is ok with me touching myself when looking at his photos. I respect the fact he isnt sexually attracted to me. He constantly has women throwing themselves at him and sleeps with 2-3 new ones a week. I still struggle with men, but he is actively helping me. Even though there is one sided attraction, we still support each-other and have mutual friends.

I have a best friend of six years let's call her C. I have an acquaintance  whom I've known for a while let's call her L. And I have a phone friend who I text a lot let's call him B. So the other day L was telling B that I "was.t" mentally okay, that I was weird and annoying and a bad person and that he shouldn't text me anymore. B texts me and tells me what she said to him. So I go ahead and tell C about it. She flat out says "well she's kind of right". And then I'm completely shocked because C is supposed to be my best friend of six years. I ask her why and she says she doesn't have to answer to me which made no sense. I told her that if she's not going to defend me she probably only cares about things if they involve her. She says "I'm done with your attitude" and then apparently she went to L as they're friends but not as good friends as me and C are. So she goes to the girl who trash takes me herself and cries to her over the phone about how mean I was to her and then L gets mad and barrages me with hostile texts saying things like "you don't deserve any friends if you can't treat them right" and "no one ******* cares how you feel" and "yeah you know how to fake a tear". I sent screenshots to C and told her it was unacceptable behavior of what L was doing. C just said "well whatever I mean she's just trying to defend me from you". Which made NO SENSE. I ended up apologizing to C saying "sorry I caused drama" and C acted like the victim and didn't apologize on her part.

So my cousin and I have never been that close to begin with. She is about 4 years older and since we were little kids she did anything she could to keep me away. She loves partying, and being the center of attention at the party, loves dancing and okay that's awesome but she does not wants to understand that is not my type of environment... it was just 2 years ago that she was saying to me "omg why are you so boring?" Because I didn't want to dance at a family party we were having and I remember how much that made me feel like ****, and besides calling me boring she has done a bunch of other things that have made me feel like **** that I could never even have the time to explain on here. Anyways she told my mom "yay now that Jenny (me) is finally turning 20 I can soon take her to clubs and parties with me" im just like :v that is not my type of environment AT ALL Im more of a stay home chill with friends and watch a movie.. I had my own plans with my friends on my birthday and it was going to be something nice and simple and that's it. But now she is trying to come back and im just not ready for her calling me boring and making me feel like **** all the time :l Ugh why can't she just understand???

Hi, i had a friend that i really like spending time with. But i noticed my friend punched me and cursed me out and i worked on this art piece that i liked doing. My friend threw it on the ground and didnt say sorry? I always comfort them in there time of need because i have a kind heart. But ever since i noticed what they did. I sill have a soft spot for my friend. but i dislike what they have been doing, how do i come to terms with these emotions? That this person  is a foe?

Is it ok to act like you're ok but you're really not? 

Is it ok if you don't ever hang out with your friends anymore but your friends want to hang out with you? but you still talk to them? And you feel like you shouldn't get close to anyone? 

It has to be quiet, and also I'm staying at her house and her mom does not keep mac&cheese in her pantry 😡😡😡 It's 3:11 her mom just caught us and now we are just chilling out, these suggesting were helpful, thanks

for instance, let's talk about top 10 popular acoustics sites.  not only acoustic guitars, but also about musical acoustics, oralism and lip reading. a... let's not jump straight into the top 10, but also tell me how did you reached to that conclusion. ...alexa?

I have a Group of friends who added me into this group earlier this year, but they were all friends before me. I've had classes with him since freshman year, and I was excluded from their friend group open till senior year. There's tensions between people in this friend group and four of the members hang out without everyone else (including me) a majority of the time. Sometimes I feel like I don't Belong in this group. Sometimes I even feel like everyone's dismissive of me.  Why does it hurt more now that I'm included in the group than it did before

"3.8 Billion Females on this earth and you trippin about one" what does that mean

Carly always says she wants to die and that she's insecure, selfish, and toxic. She tells me "being a sad tree is fun" all because I said "I'm bored. What do I do? Be a sad tree?" And her commentary makes me mad. Is she producing toxic behavior?

I attend a church and am never included in anything. In fact, I was sitting with a group of youth people and the president of the young people asked my boyfriend to do something and the other people at the table but excluded me. Today, this person was made aware that they needed a clean up crew for an upcoming event. I was the first one to be asked to help with the clean up crew. I replied that I would have to get back with her.  Am I entitled to be offended that I am only considered good enough to clean up? Am I overthinking the situation and should just help and be honored that I was considered to help in that way?

I know it's petty but this really hurts my feelings. She had talked about how she was thinking of throwing a party to me prior. And then And then a few months later I see it on social media and I got no invite. It was over a weekend and I asked how her weekend was and she didn't even mention the party. How do I ask her why I wasn't invited?

So my sister and her friend been best friends since they were kids now we all adults I herd that my sister friend is looking for a boy friend im also looking for a girl friend is it a good idea to start hanging out with her? I have talk to my sister about it she got very angry but what is wrong with that ? If my sister wanted to date my friend I wouldn't care we are all people we should have the rights to date anyone guess I cant date her but she is pretty and very friendly. 

I rarely ever talk to anyone n they think i creepy for it. why is that?

How do I behave with him? After art class I stayed there for a bit more and ended my painting. There was me and the guy I have a crush on hugging each other, without clothes. It was taken from the waist and above and I had long hair and only the bacj and the hair was visible, cause the face was buried in his chest. His face was clearer cause he was facing the viewer, he had his eyes open and rhey were like, thoughtful, his green eyes and his short spike blond/red hair, he was hugging me tight and I had my face rested on his neck/shoulder and I had my arms around his body. I am shorter than him but average height, but in comparison to him I look short. We were surrounded by a surreal background, bubbles and some faded colors, light purple, lightblue and light green. My bestfriend saw it and took a picture and made lots of compliments. She later gave it to him (without askig me if I was alright) when I was around. She asked him what he thought of it and he was still shocked, turned red and look at it really carefully. My friend said 'she did it'. He turned to me and said 'really?' With his foreign accent (he still cannot speak properly english cause he's from eastern europe and he doesn't want to mispronounce words). I blushed and said yes without even looking in his eyes. He breathed in and smiled and blushed, when he wanted to say something a friend of his called him and told him to hurry cause they had a class. And took him by his coat. He followed me with his eyes So we didn't have time to talk or explain. Is he mad at me? Will he scold me? What do I say to him? She'll think I'm crazy and I fantasize about him (we just exchanged looks once and he stared at me and blushed as he saw me, but we never spoke a word before). He's also foreign. I'm foreign too but not from his country. What should I do? Tell him it's not him when it's clearly him and I?

I have a friend who I've known for 3 years. We usually contact each other when either one of us needs company or don't want to go somewhere alone. I'm someone that thinks before speaking. She, on the other hand, never hesitates to tell me she thinks my culture (which is more family-oriented) is preventing me from being more independent. She once told a story about an airport employee who she was badmouthing and went out of her way to tell me that the worker was from my country. I can name 5 other similar incidents like this. The problem: I hang out with her mostly to grab a bite, and I don't have interest in doing things after unless we plan to do it /ahead of time/. She, however, always wants to go to the mall afterwards or travel far away (far from where I live); and decides on the spot where she wants to go. However, I have health problems, where I can't be on my feet for a long time and I get out of breath quickly. Despite that, I've gone with her + given into her demands many times in the past. Today, she started whining like a baby about going to the mall after eating, but I was not having it. I told her I did not want to go because we didn't plan ahead, I have to be home at a certain time, and that she knows I can't travel long distances that require a lot of walking.  She told me "you always do this" and starting getting insanely upset and I decided I was not going to be a pushover today, not when she was asking me to take a 35 minute train ride to the mall from the restaurant, which would then take me more than an hour and 15 min to get home.  We ended on slightly bad terms, but I feel like she's always been inconsiderate, and I've ignored it, but I'm tired of her superiority complex and always being blamed for not being outgoing when she never plans ahead of time and I don't have the luxury of being able to do things without taking consideration towards my health. Do you think she's being inconsiderate or do you disagree? If anyone read this, I want to thank you so much and would appreciate your take on this!
