My childhood best friend is in the hospital for congestive heart failure. I stopped communications with her about 11 years ago because she was extremely manipulative and somewhat psychologically abusive. She tried to rekindle the friendship about 3 years ago, but after talking with her a while, I could see she had not changed and I pulled away again. Today I found out on her daughter's FB page, that she is in the hospital due to congestive heart failure. I want to reach out, but I honestly let her go from my life and I don't think I want to rekindle a friendship again; however, I am concerned for her health and I want to know if I should reach out to her now to see how she is doing or would that be awkward or inappropriate? 

I attend church time to time .I often get bumped by people who would try to be friends with me only to find out later that they want me to lend money to them. Initially i would give them but then their demand would increase next time its like they are just being friends so they could extract money out of me when i refuse they would say 10 $ would not make a difference as you are a dentist blah blah Please advice

I have a best friend of around 3-4 years now, and ever since like a year ago, all she has done is copy me. For example, I pick up a skating hobby from my brother, and she GETS a board, I usually eat my food with chopsticks, and all of the sudden she ordered chopsticks for herself, I started listening to an artist, and she started listening to him, and I just got this shirt that I love so much and she just went out and bought one for herself. I CANNOT explain how much this makes me mad, and I have no idea why, and what I should do about it. sorry lmao this was kind of a rant.

For almost 2 years i had a work friend named Sofia.  I always had feelings for Sofia, but she was married with kids.  I noticed Sofia would stare at me like crazy.  I never made a move on her because i had respect.  But one day Sofia told somone a a secret,  the secret was that she was beginning to have feelings for me,  and that she cared about me.   Me and Sofia continued being work friends and she thought i didn't know about her feelings. Later coworkers began complaining, because Sofia and i would flirt all the time. Later there was drama at work because everyone began to talk.  Back in January of last year,  sofia told management that my precense on the floor was  affecting her and she couldn't focus on work anymore.  So my manager moved me to another department far away from her....  Sofia left work for 1 whole year and even blocked me on facebook.  Sofia returned to work early this month.   Ive ran into her a few times in the cafeteria,  and she tries so hard to Not look at me or she looks down fast.  She acts like i dont exist anymore.  I always stare at her and i make it obvious, but she stares at the ground and smiles a little bit Does she hate me now??????? Please help

Like one of my friends, tons of ppl like his posts (400+), but it only shows that he's friends with me and 3 other people... I'm just wondering if I can't see the other friends he has for some reason, or does he only have the three mutual friends..? None of which include his family which is why I'm wondering, if there's a setting that only allows you to see mutual friends.. 

I am a college student. In one of my classes we were told to do a class project the would "Enhance our knowledge of the world". We choose a project that was a test. The athletic director of the college, a guy, had an opening for an assistant. My classmate Betty is very flat chested (A cup). We had Betty apply for the job. Betty has an A grade point average. She has volunteer coached several college sports teams and has been a player on several college sports teams. She had a resume that detailed all her sports experience. Betty's interview lasted one half hour and they ask her many questions about sports rules and the sports teams she liked. She answered every one of the questions My classmate Nancy bought the biggest bra she could find (G cup) and stuffed it with tissue. She wore a blond wig to the interview for the job. She wore a sweater that showed off her big boobs and she wore Daisy Duke style shorts. She had no resume and no sports experience and no interest in sports. She had a C grade point average. He interview lasted 5 minutes and mostly considered of whether she could work on weekends. We all learned a great lesson from this and it really enhanced our knowledge of the world. Nancy got the job offer. I think that is disgusting. Is it legal to discriminate in hiring because of boob size? Should we inform the college president of this or the local media or do nothing? Please give us your opinion what we should do if anything. THANKS

The last time I talk to this guy was on Tuesday. And he was talking about how he wants to have sex with me etc. I haven't talked to him since then and I've messaged him on Wednesday and again today. And still, nothing I'm not texting him again. I wonder if he's in the hospital again last month he was in the hospital because he had two seizures so I'm kind of worried that he might be again. I'm not saying for sure that he's in the hospital. @Edwena: What are you talking about? I am not asking him to supply drugs for sex. 

My best friend has wronged me many times in the past, but compared to this, it's marginally more important. But this action wasn't against me. It was against someone else who consented. In my eyes, I still see my best friend as the older, supposedly more mature one; the one who was supposed to know better. However my best friend's actions could have a massive domino effect on the person.  In their eyes, I know one of their greatest fears is my judgement on them. They're afraid I will see them for who they truly are and then leave because I don't like what I see.  It would be do much easier to just walk away after finding out what they did, but they need me now more than ever; to show them that they are still loveable despite making some big mistakes.  I am quite honestly startled and disappointed in my best friend, but I realize there are things that I do that must be disappointing, too. But in my heart I know that what they did could consequentially change the course of someone else's life for the worse.  Am I in a position to be able to forgive them if I wasn't the one directly impacted? How do I go about forgiving them? Is there a way to invalidate their bad actions while still supporting them? 

I'm a 19 y/o college student who will be moving out over summer & my parents control my entire life. I have a friend who works at hooters; She said its a fun job and she makes $100-$200 in tips on bad nights and $400-$600 on good nights! I see it as an opportunity to improve my communication skills and to have some money put aside for when i move out. I work hard in school; my friend told me that you also get a bonus if you have good grades so I know that'll make me work even harder.  Examples of how my parents are strict (skip if you must): Last semester (first semester in college) i finished with a 3.8 GPA while taking 20 credit hours. My parents told me it wasn't good enough and that i wouldn't get into dental school. My mom doesn't let me wear things like ripped jeans, she doesn't let me do my hair how i want (I'm African so different styles), I have to be home by 8 (if i'm lucky), and they tell me i shouldn't make friends because "it'll only bring trouble".I just want to do something for myself for once. I have applied and i have my interview on Thursday. I will be working there without their knowledge (if i get the job). Any advice on how I can properly hide this? Lastly, please don't tell me to talk to them about it because they don't let me speak my mind about anything. They never let us have a conversation. They talk over me every time... No negative comments please! Just want advice on how to do it the best way I can! Thank you As i stated earlier I will be moving out in in summer after the semester (two months). I just want to have some extra money. I currently work as a desk assistant at my school which is the only job they'll allow me to have. I make $7 an hour. After taxes and the fact that we're so over staffed, my checks are usually around $70 which i use for two weeks of gas. 

 my best friend and I were supposed to meet with someone but she persuaded me to accompany her little sisters and mom somewhere first .So me her and one of her little sisters sat down to eat while the other one and the mom went to take care of something and I will just say that the sister was acting like a  brat so i lectured her on her bad behavior ,didn't  insult anyone.I do admit that I sounded aggressive because we were running late on our next meeting but overall I didn't say something mean.Right after I apologized to my friend for getting involved but she told me it was fine.That evening I got a text from her saying she didn't like something I did and I immediately knew it was about her sister.Next day and I apologized after she said her problem with my behavior and we were good or that's what I thought cause after she  ignored me for a day I tried solving the problem by talking to her about it but she told me she didn't want to talk about it again,she went on a one week vacation and I tried texting her some random stuff twice but was  ignored.She returns and gives me the silent treatment and goes to hang out with the people That used to and kinda continue to bully me so i was hurt.One night she told me to take down all pictures we had taken together because she didn't want to be in them and told me to reconsider why people leave me cause it's my fault and that's what's got me here,I mean was I so horrible?Will I ever have close friends or am I just that unlikable? I would really appreciate any kind of advice about the situation cause I tried getting over it but she replaced me so quickly i just feel horrible.For what i did,for how it turned out.I disclosed so many stuff about my insecurities to her and I'm afraid of her saying stuff to other people about me Also we had this mutual friend and I understand that she's his friend as much as I am so of course he would also hang out with her but each time he chooses to hang out with her over me I feel awful and ditched and I don't want to feel like that,I don't wanna be toxic ,my insecurities have ruined a friendship of mine before and though of different kind , I don't want those insecurities to destroy my friendship with him

Let me tell you some things she does to me: 1.she interrupt me everytime with speak with others and she wants to speak only her 2.she hates when i have confidence and tries to convince me that i am ugly 3.someday i told her that i like a guy and she told me that i am too ugly for me 4.she tries to prove all the time to everyone that she is better than me 5.she always tries to make me feel bad and someday she told me that a girl called me ugly only to make me feel bad and ugly What is her problem with me?

I feel like I always have to wear all black or else people will treat me terribly. I know I look good in black but I also want to do whatever I want. Whenever I wear something that's not black people seem to treat me worst. Today one of my friends tried to seem cool infront of these other college kids and shouted at me. Please help, I ALWAYS encounter these people. Just when I thought that I could trust these people, they end up hurting me. I've been bullied my whole life by the popular people and almost all my friends. Please help, how can I make this end?

My best friend touch my bum and it felt weird....why does she do that? Ohh and she is not a lesbian or anything...and we are a both girls(15years old)

This man put like every day to my friend. My friend on the photo wear swim brief , he is nude with switsuit and he show his muscles and on the other photos this man puted him  heart reaction instead like.

My friend isn't replying to my texts and he's always online. I was waiting for a week.. and last night he decided to text me.. but, about his friend drama since I gave his friend his discord user. After that, he has not replied to my text. He told me "when I started becoming friends with *this girl* I stopped giving a **** about what people say, think, or do. I'm not depressed and don't care about loosing friends".. that made me very very upset. He wasn't there with me when I was feeling down. He clearly ignored me. And after our mini argument he even told me "I'm done trying to keep friends"...

So I was hanging out with my friend at his house, and we were just horsing around, throwing things at each other, wrestling around, etc. And while we were messing around his little brother sat on my freaking face while I was laying down on the couch, I'm 16 and he's 11, but I couldn't lift him off for the life of me so I was stuck there for like 30 seconds while my friend laughed on the other side of the couch and then finally got him off. Opinions on this? I don't know what the hell to think.

I'm a 27 year old guy and I am looking for some advice. I met this girl and she seemed really cool and down to earth. She was so easy to talk to, we have a lot of the same interests, and work in the same field. The thing is, I found out today she is only 19. She works full time as a teaching assistant, goes to school part time, and has lived on her own for a couple years since she graduated early. She is very independent for 19. She did say on occasion she likes to smoke a black in mild in a bubble bath and has a vape she likes to hit, but that's the only bad thing she does. What should I do? I can't stop thinking about how she's only 19 and I am looking for someone my own age? She really wants a chance, but I just don't know what to do.
