I am currently living in campus and started my second degree. I have so far gotten along with everyone and have made some close friends however there is one girl who does not seem to like me for some reason. She gets along well with everyone else but whenever I try talking to her or if we are even in the same friends group she ignores me and pretends like I don't exist. I barely know her and have never talked badly about her to anyone so its a little strange. we will be in the same cohort for the next few years and we do have the same friend group so I do want to sort things out and figure out why she dislikes me. I have seen her around other guys and she seems extremely friendly but for one reason or another she isn't like that around me

so i'm 16 I used to be best friends with this boy my age since first grade and we stopped talking in 2017 after a huge fight where our parents got involved and it was really bad and i became homeschooled this year because of my anxiety and depression and now 2 years later in october he reached out to me over text to see how i've been doing and stuff and we talked and caught up and it was nice but i would stop responding after a while to give him a hint i didn't really want to be friends again and he would text me every month or so and check on me which was nice and now in january this year we started talking a bit more and we got on the topic of our friendship and he basically asked if we could be friends like we used to and i told him it isn't the best idea because of what happened last time and he told me our lives were bad back then and stuff is completely changed and things are different now and he wants to try again, not sure what to do? he also said if he wants me to stop texting him to let him know. I want him to leave me alone so I might tell my mom and she will go to his school and the police and make sure he gets in trouble because I'm done with him texting me, he's friendly friendly but it bothers me and my mom will get him handled with

I recently reached out to an old best friend from when i was younger which ended badly because of a fight and i reached out to try again and it went well at first but when i asked if we could be friends again she said "it's not the best idea after considering what happened last time" and im so sad i can't get out of bed what do i do

So I am a very lonely person and over the last few years I became very close with an old buddy from high school. In my mind he is my best friend and I would even call him the closest thing I'll ever have to a brother. We were close friends for 3 years I graduated High School 4 years ago and we were just buddy's when we were in school. So lately I'm starting to feel like I'm starting too lose my friendship with him. I've been noticing that he's been ignoring me when I text him I noticed this by when I message him I'll see that he's active on social media but would respond to me like an hour later with a one word response and it feels like it's impossible to have a convo with him. So I tried to leave him alone for a while and see what happens then he would text me 1st asking to hang out. Then when we do he's on his phone the whole time and hardly pays attention to me it's just annoying because the way I see it. If you don't want to hang or talk to me then don't but why is he asking to hang just to do that sorta thing? I just need help to understand why someone would do this? 

So, My husband's brother just recently got married. We knew his wife a year before and we all get along great. I made a friend with one of her bridesmaids at her wedding, and since we both have kids, we have had several play dates. She seemed ok about us hanging out, but she did say "I thought it was weird having people from different parts of my life hanging out". The same friend invited me to one of my sister in law's get together she has every Tuesday with her friends... they watch The Bachelor. I didn't get this invite from her personally, but her friend. I wouldn't mind going, but I don't want to impede on her friend time. We all get together on Fridays every week for games/movies. Any advice? Should I go? Or should I respectfully decline and give her space? 

Say you have a best friend and they don't think it's ok to go months without talking because they like to check on you but you're starting to feel like it is ok to go months without talking. Would that make you feel trapped? Because I'm in this same situation with my best friend 

I have a best friend since 17 (2008) and recently I have reconnected with another childhood friend. They don't know each other. I get along great with both friends, but the problem is that they are a little off, if you know what I mean.  Both believe that the government or a higher power is trying to control or eradicate us. Both tell me that they are deliberately poisoning our food to kill us or turn us gay. The other one tells me that it is not "gentrification", that it is instead "population control". He says that soon they will do martial law and they will invade our homes. Both say that everyone is asleep and walking around not knowing what it is really happening. When I show both some facts and statistics to prove that they were wrong, they told me, "that is what they want you to believe".  I don't know much about the recent childhood friend that I reconnected with because we didn't see each for 15 years. But I do personally know my best friend since 17 (08), and ever since we met, he would, once in a blue moon, maybe a total of 8 times throughout our friendship, tell me a joke: "That van that is passing by or parked at the corner is going to kidnap you". I always brushed it off as a really lame joke. He was never really funny and rarely tried to be funny. Another thing about this particular friend is that he once confessed to me that he tried to make his cats eat their own poop. He felt a bad about it and I told him that maybe it is because of his recent breakup.

so i reached out because we haven't talked in years after a huge fight that caused even our parents to get involved and we talked a bit then she said she doesn't want to be friends because of what happened last time i can't stop crying

My roommate occasionally eats my food. I went out and bought 2 fruit cups today, went to the fridge to eat them later and they were both gone. Am I being dramatic by getting mad about this or should I confront her?

I realize there are millions of people in the world, and that I simply cannot please everyone which I meet. And it is in impossible of satisfying the hundreds of people we will encounter or meet . Not everyone will like us. I have mental health concerns though , and one of them is a personality disorder. I have a distinctive personality . I can be very standoffish and unfriendly . Reserved and push people away from me , and express a blatant dislike for an individual. Other times I am very Goofy and playful in a way that I annoy a friend to the point where they stop talking to me. Other times I am very serious , get offended easily , become angry and confrontational with my friends. And I lose people for all of those reasons stated. I am aged mid thirties and my entire life I have been unable to make new friends and keep the existing friends. I am okay with all of this , as I am typically a loner by choice and prefer to be alone almost always. I feel at times , that I intentionally act out and deliberately upset my friends in hopes that they will stop being my friend . Only because I don't have the guts to say to him/her , " I want to end our friendship." Do I need to change my personality , or should I stay true to myself and keep being me?

Would you be friends with someone that you didn't have anything in common with? but they text you to check on you because they care 

I'm on disability but I could use the money from a part time job social security allows you to make almost 1200$ and still get disability.  I got a call from a place that's a ten minute walk from my home.  I owe the IRS and they said that I don't have to pay unless I start working.  My sister says don't take the job the IRS will take everything you make.  I don't think that's true.  They won't take ever done I earn will they?  I think I should take the job what are your thoughts?
