Hey, so I have a friend that calls me and asks me to hang out. Normally I hang out because I'm not doing anything else with my life, but when he asks to hang out, and I say no, because either I'm hanging out with other people at the moment or I'm just trying to have a relax day, I get called fake, and I get called insults to my face. I just need some advice to avoid these situations, and avoid future situations like this.

I met a nice dude in class. Very smart guy, but seems socially limited. Feel bad for judging him, as I am socially limited too. Not a problem, except that a meaningful connection seems impossible with him, as we share no common interests, and no relatable past experiences. Meaningful conversation also seems very difficult or impossible with him. A good amount of the conversations we have seem to turn into him asking me: "What would you rate this movie / episode / show as? I give it a 6.5 out of 10." or something along those lines, and nothing meaningful comes out of it. No emotional connection. Done nice things for him, even as far as driving him places, offering to pay for a meal for him, etc, and that seems to go nowhere, or not very far. Feel bad, like I'm judging him for being this way, but I am starting to get a bit annoyed, and feel like seeking deeper emotional connections with people now. Should I keep him as a friend and make new friends alongside this or tell him that I want space from him and make some deeper connections? Am I judging things too fast? (Known him since September 2019) Advice on what to do here? I legit want him as a friend but am having a difficult time connecting with him on a deeper level, and becoming a bit flustered by it. No idea how I should take things with him. (Guy to guy, friendship only)

If someone belittled your feeling and then you got upset with them and responded in a negative way. Are you in the wrong? Should you have to apologize even if they admitted what they did was wrong? This person keeps saying I am twisting there words I am being manipulative even after they said they were wrong in an effort to get me to apologize for being upset with the way they behaved and what they said to me. They have insulted me multiple times and I haven't called them any names or insulted them. I yelled at them for being mean to me.

I'm a teen who struggles with social anxiety. And before you start to think it's because I might like them.. it's not. I'm bisexual and lean more towards women. And all my life, whenever men talk to me I get really stand offish and unfriendly like I get this feeling they're out to get me. There's guys who talk to me who can be so intimidating. I'm not sure why i'm like this but I feel like I act so mean. 

I'm 26. I feel swallowed in regret & Shame. It keeps nagging me to reconnect with old friends & associates. I haven't spoke to them in over a decade. I genuinely care about their well being but for some reason it'll feel fake of me. I can't enjoy the present with my family & friends. I get bored or lose interest & will feel sad out of nowhere. Anybody been through this? Or know how to move forward?

I fought with a person. My friend who was present as well , instantly came to the defense of the other individual . Never did she witness or hear the things that were done to me and said to me , prior to me lashing out. She only saw my anger , and therefore came to the conclusion that I am a problematic person

Person A & Person B go out walking out in the open somewhere. Due to Person A's clumsiness, something gets in Person B's mouth. Although it's not lethal, she's well-aware that ingesting it would give her severe abdominal pain. They happen to be somewhere where there are absolutely no sources of water (example: bathroom, lake, river, well, etc). They also have absolutely no liquids to rinse it out with nor handkerchiefs to wipe the inside of her mouth with. While Person B is desperately trying to get it all out of her mouth by spitting, Person A says to her, "Don't spit your tongue it!" Would it be impertinent for Person A to say that to Person B? Can I have an answer like, "Yes, it would be disrespectful" or "No, it wouldn't," please? Would you disagree with Person B that Person A was taunting her or making fun of the way she was spitting?

I have been friends with the same girl for almost 13 years. We have helped each other through our toughest trials and have a very special bond BUT I don't think she respects my job. I'm a dance teacher and that means my evenings and Saturdays are on lockdown, I'm still a college student and I also sub teach when I can. Every time my friend wants to hang out she always asks me when I'm scheduled to work. Where I work, if I call out I don't get paid for that day. With me being a commuting (via Metro) college student I need all the days I can get, every time I tell her no or remind her that I have to work, it's a becomes "I don't want to spend time with her." which is not the case, I just can't and honestly, I don't like missing work. I love my job and dance is my passion. I would think that my best friend would at least understand that but it doesn't feel like she does. In my eyes, if you can't respect my passion, what are we doing? Hanging out with her is now becoming a chore rather than quality time.SO my question is, should I sit my friend down and have a brutally honest conversation about our friendship?

Maybe they think it's cute to be one off from 4:20.. Maybe they are one off the time (I doubt it).. They're even more crazy and insecure than I am, so that may help answer it.. It may seem small, but it gets Very annoying when I get the message every day..I'm hoping I can find a way to passive aggressively (hopefully unnoticeable aggressive) shut it down next time

This might sound kinda funny, so my friend snatched my phone out of my hand (I was on the bus and on the window side so I was not able to get it back right away) and my other friend eventually got it from him. I looked at my snap story and he posted on my insta and snap story " I like men" with a rainbow emoji. (I DO NOT LIKE MEN, I AM STRAIGHT) he just thought it was funny to do that. I am so embarrassed tho. I have a little bit of anxiety going to school as it is. I had to delete it and post that I do not like men and it was just my friend who posted it. 

I have this long term friend they are an extrovert and I'm an introvert usually its fine just seeing them every once and a while since they have their own friends they hang out with most of the time but their other friends have moved away or been busy so every weekend they want to hang out and sometimes on weekdays  I just want this weekend to myself how can I tell them to back off without messing up the friendship 

Often times Instagram users seem to confirm follow requests from random accounts that look nothing like someone they know personally. What's a likely reason they do that?

Now I'm not one of them 'Give me likes' types people but on a social media site, a 'friend' who doesn't feel like a friend via definition, likes the comments on my posts more than liking the actual posts I make.  Is this a sign the friend is fake and doesn't care about what I have to say or am I just over thinking? 

I am a college student working a part time job. I need help finding a new job title. My official job title is "Condom Tester". As they come off the line, I apply air pressure to them to make sure they do not leak. When people ask me what I do and I tell them what my job is, they think I am some kind of a sex nut. Nobody will believe that it is just a boring (but important) job. My guy friends usually think it cute to say "That must be hard work. How do you keep it up all day". I would sure like to have a comeback when they ask me that . Anyone have an idea for a good comeback. Can someone suggest a new job title that I can tell people with out offending them.

I am the only girl in my High School AP Physics class. My classmates are my friends and we like to gather at my home and jointly do on our homework. It is a very hard class with lots of homework. Some of the problems we have a hard time solving. One of my classmates said let's ask you mom Jill for help. He did and mom instantly came up with the answer. They did this several times and mom always came up with the answer. This was amazing to my classmates. One of them said to me "How is it possible that your mom is so beautiful and so smart? That does not compute". Is that a compliment for my mom or an insult to all women? YOUR OPINION PLEASE.

Hello my name is Tyler, and I am 24 years old   there is a woman who I liked a lot and she's older than me, she's about 36  married with kids. Me and her used to talk a lot,  but eventually I decided to part ways because of my feelings I know it sounds really dumb but I feel jealous of her husband.   at the beginning this used to be a  crush on her,   but now I feel like it's turning into an obsession.  I saw her around yesterday for the first time in a year and I can't stop thinking about her.   I've been on lots of dates but I don't know what is wrong with me can I please have some advice

Stupid me. I said the 1 thing I knew not to say, said "we're still ok, right?" She said yes or yeah. But what if she goes inside and thinks about that now and decides by tomorrow because I said that, that we're not ok now? I hate that I was so stupid. I was really trying not to say that, so I dont know why I was so stupid. People told me if I say that or similar again it would be a sure fire way to push her away. So I tried not to say that and while she was signing a card for a co worker tried to be funny, saying stuff like about the bday gifts I already got you a few, but dont worry, theres not that much nail stuff, and so see today I was lying in wait, but it was for a good reason but she was silent, in the past she might have giggled at least a little esp at the card, cause it was funny. so at the last 2nd as she was going in decided to say that. She was very stone faced today, no smile, even when I tried to be funny getting her attention saying "dont get run over but I have a question for you" she looked up with either a stone face or almost an annoyed look.  I wander if that did push her away? But if it did, she wouldnt have said yes? Or do you think she will go in and think about that and decide we're not ok.? There wasn't 1 particular thing I did or said that made me think we might not be.She just seemed to be act differently lately.for more details on how, look at my previous question.

So we've been insanely close for awhile. I went to school in another state but we still facetimed and texted all the time. I had to come back home (where he lives) so I'm not going to school right now. During winter break we were still very close, hanging out all the time and talked to each other a lot. Once the spring semester of school started, his car broke and has been broken since. I don't have a car either so we haven't been able to hang out. But one day I realized he doesn't talk to me as much/doesn't act the same way towards me as he once did. He still claims I'm his best friend but I can't figure out why he doesn't treat me like it. He talks to my sister more than me (and she goes to school in another state.) He'll post on his instagram/snapchat yet he won't respond to me. I asked him when he gets his car fixed and if we could talk, and he ignored the text. I'm so confused by this.  and I understand people make new friends so please don't say it's that. It's something personally against me that I can't quite figure out. 

My best friend got mad at me because I told him I didn't want to talk to people and didn't after I said that to him, I messaged our friend liv "who made the chat?" That is all I had said.. I took a break and I came back to his long message telling me "Damn glad you'd rather talk to liv then someone who's been with you for two years, who cared about you and trusted you" Now I think he misinterpreted the whole situation. He never texts me but he is always online on Discord and Roblox for like 7 hrs a day.. I've heard from a friend he's not one to start a convo.. ion think that's true.. I told him how I thought he hated me since he never texts me. And he told me "I helped you, I trusted you, cared for you and to think I'd hate you".. he seemed very upset.. when I tried to further explain to him how much he meant to me he said things like "K" "Whatever" I feel like it's my fault because I felt like he thought I was ignoring him.. but after our mini fight he told me "Have you ever met a happy person not full of insecurities and worries?" I messaged him that morning a prayer to make sure he was safe and all he texted me back was "Whatever I'm done trying to keep people in my life" which I thought was very disrespectful.

0 0 It's about a couple I've wronged twice: - Did the original offenses - Faked an apology once (in 2016) just to save face This time I finally realized I've been wrong, they are a cool couple and I was the bullying antagonist. This was my recent short message to them: I wanted to say I'm sorry for everything. Honestly. I really mean it this time. In return, this was their reply: (My name), you've caused us too much trouble. We don't believe you at all. Words mean nothing anymore. Last time we forgave you too soon and you weren't sorry. It is therefore we decided not to accept your apology at this moment. We won't risk being hurt by you a 3rd time. Perhaps with time, we might reconsider but till now, you got a lot to work on. Is there a way I can amend things in time and show them I'm really sorry this time? I got nothing against them. No scheme, no gossiping, nothing. I want to start all over with them. This is what my old 2016 apology sounded like (don't recall the exact words), something like this: If I've hurt you guys badly, I would like to say that I'm sorry. I never ment for things to turn sour so fast....etc. Then I pretty much excuse my behavior. At the time it didn't come from the heart. I lied in that apology. I'm not lying this time. I'm not excusing anything. I really wish I was given a chance to start over.

This may sound angsty or stupid, but the truth is I've never had one and I've never been the best friend before. I don't know what's wrong with me and I want to learn what I can do better, or something.
