I have a friend whom Ive always considered my bestest, but she says she has other close friends. But, it seems like she always has to point out that she engages with them as much as with me, e.g. she will say "I text u everyday and my other friends as well", even though once she herself said that her other "close" friends take many days to text her. She doesnt want to admit that shes engaging with me only for hours on end daily. She gives us all the same value, even tho they dont text her half as much. I also show her way too much affection, and she shows it to me too when I do, and she admitted that her other close friends only occasionally hug her but thats it and that I say many sweet words to her that her other friends don't. Still she always says things that make it seem like she doesnt want me thinking im more special. She hasnt had a single sleepover with any of them, but several with me. Yet my importance is only as much as theirs. So i now feel that ive been giving way too much of my time to her and too much affection, yet im still only worth as much as her other close friends. Im not special in any way, despite doing more. I even give her gifts and cards sometimes, which she said her other friends never did. And it seems she has some sort of pride that she doesnt wanna let me know i am more special. And if i really arent, why am i doing so much more for her than her other friends, only to be considered at the same level as them? It feels hurtful. 

My best friend talked behind my back to her friends and I'm so mad at her so I've been trying to ignore her but it seems like she is more mad at me and is ignoring me even more, and posts stuff about how her life is great. She's a great friend I don't want to lose the friendship even though I have every reason to leave her, what do I do?? Btw I asked her why she did it and I told her how she really gutted me by it but she basically ignored all my questions and my emotions bc I think she's to stubborn to blame herself for causing me pain. And idk how to make her understand she hurt me 

Back in Jan I learned I became friends with my pta (she said it 1st). So for me she usually gives me hugs at the end of every session, on days I dont have an appointment and am there, always excited to see me, and even says bye in an happy way, like bye I'm going to miss you and sometimes get a 2nd hug then, and call me a cute nickname when calling me and if she didnt have a patient before me, would get me up to 15 minutes earlier and would know that ive done my cardio. Visited her church a couple weeks ago. I asked her if everything was ok between us, she asked why it wouldn't it be and told me "we're fine, yes you are." Yes you are refers to me saying I'm in my head again. I have a bad habit of saying sorry for being annoying and sorry for bothering you. I had another friend tell me to stop sayinf stuff like that to her cause I'll just end up putting the idea in her head&pushing her away a few days before I went to the church. When I was about to leave, I asked her something stupid apologized immediately and said sorry for bothering you. She said thats ok, so I said,oh so I am bothering you. She said no. I wrote my other friend what happened cause except for the stupid question at the end I thoughr everything went great. She even introduced me to some of the members there as her friend. My other friend said all I'm doing by saying things to her she told me not is pushing her away. I'll put rest of details and the ending quesrions in an update Ive had 3 appointments with her since then, last tue and thur morning as 1st patient of the day. And today as last patient of the day. None of those times she called me a nickname. Last tue she said she wasn't awake yet. So ok,I get that. Thur she called one of the techs a nickname after his name&today the same tech she called a different nickname. She did say last thur after I tokd her she didn't have a name for me today. She said sometimes she does and sometimes she doesn't.  Also something she says to all the other patients but has never said to me is good/great work today.I loved that she didn't say that, because between that and the hugs it made me feel more like a friend than a patient. On the good note she still gives me hugs,but only after my sessions never when she leaves or when I'm there when I dont have an appointment.And today after asking the tech to get some stuff for me and asking if he wanted her to grab the heat pad, while giving me a hug,she  squeezed me tighter than usual lately,but not as tight as she has done in the past,&while giving me a hug said great job today.Then when we were both leaving, I waved bye,& she said bye in a way she never has before, like complete opposite, like whatever type of mood. Or non chalet. Oh and she changed her whatever you get me is fine to you dont need to get me anything for my birthday.So is my other friend right,have I pushed her away? Or do you think she was just like that because she was tired? Oh and I forgot I dont think she had a patient befire me today but still got me a couple minutes late. When in the oast if she didnt have a patient before me or they didnt show up she would get me early.  Forgot to mention, we're both females and she has a boyfriend. So even nicknames shes called me have nothing to do with anyone liking anyone more than a friend. Its just something she use to do almost every time. 

I have have this friend for almost 2 years. She has made it clear that she has no interest; I am also a she, and she doesn't slide that way. I love her very much as a friend and don't want to lose her or hurt her by leaving, but it's getting very emotionally painful. Sometimes it is easier to ignore than others, but the way I see her gets in the way and it's hurts. Sometimes I just want to cry when she looks so beautiful because she is just that: beautiful. I don't know what to do. I consider her my best friend, but I cannot get over my dream of it being more than that, and I don't know how long I'll be able to handle it. Do I stay or do I go?

So my best friend got mad this other friend bc she 'disrespects' her and recently this other friend got my best friend this magnet thing for her bday and and my bff started saying things like "what am I supposed to do with it, it shows she doesn't care" and she wanted to say something about it to her and leave her bc she was a fake friend, and I told her if she wanted to leave to just slowly stop talking to her but not rage at her because my bff asked her and the girl said it was a joke, or the girl might've just not have known what to get her. So I didn't think it was much of a big deal to get mad over and my bff started getting so angry at me saying I don't support her blah blah blah.. and took screenshots of our chats and sent them to her other friends talking **** about me for literally trying to help her. And some of the people she talked to behind my back were some friends so I feel like she's trying to get people to stop talking to me too. And I never expected any of this from her because we've been friends since preschool and she is like the nicest person and always was there for me, I've always been there for her we were so close. But she went behind my back to talk **** bc she believed I didn't support her but really I was trying to protect her from acting out of anger bc things never end well like that. I told her all this and she's still so mad so it makes me confused if I did anything wrong.I still want to be bff's but she's ignoring me and hates apology's, help! Sry this is so long I've just been so sad over this and i just had to get it all out, I really don't know what to do I want to save the friendship but idk if I can :(( 

Ever since a kid caught me picking my booger he has told the class (particularly his friends) his friends have been avoiding me and whenever we have to partner with someone, they always whisper like "eww your working with that girl....good luck" and I pretend I didn't hear it and it hurts real bad. And I literally have no one to talk to at school, just a bunch of fake friends who didn't do anything when a kid said "stupid ugly *****" to me for no reason. I'm not trying to get sympathy but  I just want to know how to deal with this.. I didn't tell anyone

I dont go to school anymore and I dont have any friends, this is my FAMILY, they've known me for my whole life, so are they right? Heres a picture of me. Feel free to tell me the truth, please dont hold back. And yeah, I'm not smiling because I'm not happy :/

I told her it was okay, but my slumber party and sleepover friends object because she is mean to her daughter and my other two friends. How can I get my aunt to be nice to me and my friends so that everyone will want her at the slumber parties and sleepovers? Her daughter (one of my friends), will not allow to come to the sleepovers and slumber parties. Meanwhile, my aunt is really mean to me because she wants to go to the slumber parties and sleepovers. I love my aunt and want her to be nice to me and my friends.

I've been friends with this girl from my school for about 2 years now. I've noticed whenever im with her i'm so defensive negative and irritable. I can't tell her anything about my life, but she'd judge or think of my differently. I hate myself when im with her. I don't really consider her as a friend, but more as someone i hang out with at school. We both argue all the time, and i never see eye to eye with her. The simplist things she does pisses me off.I don't have a choice on remaining friends with her. I really dont like her i dont know what to do

I've put on about 45lb in 2 years, just due to bad eating & no exercise. For better or worst, my best friend is always telling me that, " at any weight, you're still you". On some days, it's the best advice, on other days, it just makes me feel worse. I can't help but think she's dancing around the issue of flat out saying, " you need to lose weight"

There is this one girl at school and people say that she stinks but smells pretty fine and people keep coughing at her. Even if she isn't close with anyone, when she's from a distance and people see her, they cough at her? Why do should people do that?

In the past I've been friendly with a coworker who's very aggressive and must always be right. To shorten a long story the other day, after I asked her something, she threw her hands in the air and shrieked at me. This sort of thing has happened many other times along with name calling. This was the final straw. I told her from now on I will not have general conversations with her (which she of course said was childish). I now say hello and goodbye and speak only of work related issues.  My boundaries to protect myself, I have a birthday coming up and we've exchanged gifts in the past but I no longer want anything from her. How do I tell her I want nothing for my birthday without her blowing another gasket?

I'm trying to decide between getting her something like a bracelet that will commemorate her 1st npc competition w/ a weight charm since she loves weight lifting,a bracelet with her name and a weight charm,maybe a set of purple French confetti nail strips(which she said she loved when she saw me wearing them)&a purple sparkly dip since she likes sparkly,a gas gift card cause she'll travels 2 hrs to&from work 5 days a week, 1week it was 6 days because her and her bf drove me back to my home after visiting their church,purple ariana grande CD,ariana grande clothes merchandise,anything ariana grande,something from the website of the npc competition shes doing in April,or a water bottle that I'll have all the nick names shes called me in purple on the top&at the end of the top part either put "may just all be fun names","may all just be fun names" or either of those with "to you"or"for you" in front of them.Then the bottom half put in blue and start with either",To me they mean everything","To me they mean a lot","To me they mean a whole lot","To me they mean so much".So ive known her since Nov 11 of 2019.I met her family the first time I went to her church Feb 2 this year.Which gift idea do you like best as the big gift?Or do you like more than1?If you think the water bottle is the best idea, which wording should I use?She does have a water bottle that she has stickers on,so my hope is if I do the water bottle she'll either use both or transfer her stickers to the water bottle

I want to say goodbye to everyone but many of the people I want to invite haven't been in ongoing contact with me recently.  It feels silly to draw attention to myself but I want to see everyone one last time.  But Idk if it is worth it if they haven't tried to see me sooner 

This weekend I met my boyfriends friends for the first time, we've been together 8 months. I suffer from social anxiety and there were 10 people with a lost of partying and drinking which makes it a lot more uncomfortable. My brain physically can't think of conversations and I shut down because I'm so worried about making a good impression that is ultimately backfires... of course giving the impression that I'm cold and uninterested. I like being around people but not in large groups of strangers. But I wasn't going to make a public announcement that I have this problem and so now he's concerned that his friends hate me. And they all think I hate them. What's should I do? 

like you dont know that person and you want to know what makes the person happy

 In my opinion some good points would be that it is an easy way to meet and connect with other people. These people could be friends you know irl, old friends, or you could even meet new people there. I feel like some cons would be the fact that while it is so convenient, the information you share could be easily taken advantage of by other people. For this reason, I am extremely careful about what I post.

can anyone want to reach out, let me know, just would like a friend

My best friend is gay.  Took me a while but i accepted him as long as i dont get involved in his life style ( going out to gay bars with him)  . Suddenly , he asks me to march with him stand by him at a Love Parade.  He betrayed our friendship, he told me he wont drag me into his open secret life.  Why does he need my approval of something i cannot do?  

So yesterday my teacher change some places in the classe...He put me at the BACK,normally I sat in the first row,really close to the teacher....i am the best student in his classe....why did he put ME at the back and not someone else....i feel rejected....this teacher is REALLY strict and seem to hate me

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?

We were incredibly close, literally a month ago. Even when I lived halfway across the country, we still talked all the time. Now he doesn't talk to me at all, and I get that he has new friends but he barely responds to me and it's weird. He also talks to my younger sister more than me now, when they were barely friends before. She lives in another state so it's not like they hang out. I just can't seem to wrap my mind around what's happened. He still says I'm his best friend.

Obviously my friend has days that bother her. Whenever I notice I try to ask her if she's okay but she always repeats that she doesn't want to talk about it. I give her her space and tell her she can talk to me whenever, but recently its been bothering me every time she repeats herself. It's gotten to the points where something more serious can happen and I won't know until someone else tells me or just be completely lost in the conversation. We are really close friends and I'm hoping there's a way to figure this out.

I haven't made friends with no one since i came to school (college) since august. And i haven't dated a guy in years about 5 i tend to push them away cause i can read them well. I want to do things that involves people but i rather keep to myself i know it's not healthy.

How do you feel about people who are trying to get on a snobby person's good side? Also how do you feel people apologizing to those who were rude & snobby towards them so they can get these snobby people to be nice to them? Also how do you feel about people trying to change themselves so they can get the snobby people to like them more? They feel they did something that caused these people to act rude & snobby towards them.

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 reapecr.  But one day Sofia told somone as a secret,  that she was beginning to have feelings for me.  Apperantly she felt guilty because she's married.  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 anymire.  I always stare at her and i make it obvious, but she stares at the ground and smiles a little bit
