I hadn't heard from my friend since Tuesday and I was worried that he may have been sick or had another seizure because he had two last month. So I found his dad's  cellphone number and texted her asking about him. And I messaged a lot of his friends on Facebook. He's ok and there was just death in his family. I feel so embarrassed now I know I shouldn't have been looking for his mom's number or messaging his friends. But I was worried sick because he lives alone and I was just worried something had happened to him.

Found out nine months ago friend was in domestic abuse situation.   She keeps calling and complaining but doesnt ever do anything about it.  Told her today that she can stay or leave but I cant do anything.  She has to make the decision herself and then told her to message me later if she wants to.  Trying to get her to do more than just complain as the situation is getting super dangerous.  I listen and then tell her that I cant do anything for her and then I get off the phone.  Is this a right move.  I just dont want to enable her

I miss my best friend!He stole my virginity! Now he remarried and he has his own family! He was a toxic friend in my life and he wants nothing to do with me. I am heart broken and I feel empty inside!

My sister is in 6th grade & has no friends. A few months ago, a boy started telling everyone that she stares at him & has been doing it ever since. Others have asked her why but they may not have accepted "I don't know" or "I don't mean to" for an answer. She's been trying to keep her eyes off him but he still keeps telling others. He has yelled at her not to look at him, even when she didn't know he was there. When she & another kid inadvertently caught each other's eyes in class once, he scowled at her & said angrily, "Don't look at me!" A girl she was friendly with said to her once, "Lauren, Adam doesn't like you 'cuz you stare at him!" A teacher complained to her in private the other day that her grade is going down fast & even threatened to call our mom. Adam laughs at her whenever he sees something embarrassing happen to her. His bff laughed at her when he saw her picking up her books after falling on the floor. Another girl has said aloud, "We KNOW you like Adam!" & refused to believe my sister when she asserted she doesn't. Our mom insists that my sister is bothering him & that she should've been friendlier in the 1st place. Is this boy encouraging others to socially exclude her? Is my younger sister being bullied in school?

hi im Dane im 20 years old and im college (lol my parents are paying for it an i don't even go to CLASS so its chill)... ive been sad latly an dont know why-- I live a pretty beast life tbh all i do is play PS4 and xBox and I own like 6 different types of vapes and my my parents are chill with me smoking weed and cigarettes and pretty much doing whatever I want in the house which is also chill;  i also run a twitter account with lots of followers where I cancel any problematic people I know (i.e. if you make a joke I don't like or look at me weird, I pretty much ruin your life so its chill). i've never had a girlfriend but I wouldn't want to talk to girls just in case it makes them uncomfortable; wouldn't wanna get cancelled myself o_O hahaha!.. i honestly hate my parents, like even though they're letting me live at home and paying for everything I do, they're boomer as **** for real my eyes hurt cause I stay up till 8 am every night watching Vice news documentary videos and interviews with low-key indie rock artists (guess you could say I'm chill and low-key myself). my breath smells horrible cause I don't brush my teeth, I haven't worked out in six years (don't wanna promote oppressive body standards), and I'm tired all the time but I eat like a lot of McGriddles so I feel like I should have more energy from the carbs? Honestly i just feel like life has screwed me over and I really thought that VOTING would make me feel better cause I thought it would make me feel like i'm doing something productive but it DIDNT, so then I tried making people who DONT vote feel really pathetic and guilty for not voting but that ALSO didn't work.... so I am just chillin and vibin until someone comes along and offers me a solution. Go ahead Yahoo Answers... I'm waiting....... ... y am i so sad?

My childhood best friend is in the hospital with what we believe to be congestive heart failure. I had to end our friendship many long years ago because she was manipulative towards me. I saw on her daughters fb wall yesterday that she is in the hospital due to this heart condition. It's been 11 years since Ive seen her, and I really do not wish to go back into the friendship. People are saying I should forget the things that happened and reach out to her, but I can't because I really do not wish her to be in my life. Sorry if that sounds awful to say, but it's true...she really was extremely manipulative and abusive person and I know she does things to get attention (she has faked or over emphasized illness or other issues for attention...she loves attention). So, you can see why I am hesitant. And sorry to say, I know she hasn't changed as I have heard from many reliable sources that she is still the same. What would you do if you were in my shoes? Would you call her, write her, send her a gift ....or just continue going our separate ways? And btw, yes I am feeling mixed up about this because we are always taught to just get over things and to be there for people but I honestly do not want to.  If she dies, I honestly will be a little sad but thats it.  I know that sounds so horrible, but again, she was very abusive and I was very naive when I was younger.  If I knew then what I know now, she never would have been my friend to begin with.  

Does a friend want to help or is it wrong to burden them with a problem you are working through? I guess Im not sure if Im a bad friend for discussing an ongoing issue Im working through or if I would be a better friend by keeping my issue to myself

i've lived here 8 yrs and i can almost never have anyone to do stuff with, i miss having friends where i used to live, i miss doing stuff with people and going to their place for dinner or out with them, even staying with them when id be homeless, where i live i do get to go out with my ride from church but she wasnt there today cause she was sick and if shes not there i dont get to go out, i have this other friend that i see once a month or so from somewhere else where i used to live and she moved to my area so i get to see her but other than that, not so much, the people at churches never want to invite me over to do stuff with them, and i mean never other than my ride, one ive been going to for 4 yrs and i never get invited out for coffee let alone being invited to their house for dinner, not even my neighbors, they wont knock on my door unless we're having some fire drill, im tired of living like this, should i move away and live with my friends again or even my twin sister. i want a normal life

I hadn't heard from my friend since Tuesday and I was worried that he may have been sick or had another seizure because he had two last month.

I was with a group of friends when a friend of mine said he had an announcement to make. He said he was getting married. We all congratulated him and ask him who his bride was. He told us and it brought back memories of the time I had dated his bride to be many years ago. I was happy to see she was getting married and would settle down. She is a VERY nice person. Then he said he was VERY LUCKY to find someone that was the same religion as he was and MOST IMPORTANT TO HIM she was a virgin like he was. That set off an alarm in my head. I know from personal experience she was NOT a virgin. She was not a virgin when I dated her and unless you can become a virgin again, she was not one now. My first thought that since it so important to him was to tell him I knew she was not a virgin but I had second thoughts and didn't say anything. If after he is married and he finds out I knew she was not a virgin which is unlikely, I know he will be mad at me. I don't want to cause him or his future bride any problems as I don't think a girl's sexual past should matter but it does to him. Should I tell him or just keep my mouth shut and hope he never finds out about her past?

I'm sending this to someone's mother to check on them. Hi, I know you don't know me. But Jack and I are friends. I haven't heard from him in a while. And I'm worried about him is he ok?

My friend about a month ago even though the virus began to spread, decided to travel. She is going to Vietnam, Cambodia, India, and South Africa for fun travel and exploring. I told her to not travel but she was like "I could get the virus anywhere and I'm not going to let a virus stop me from living my life." She is in her 30s. 

I'm 31 year old male. I'm seriously fed up not doing nothing. I have no friends. I don't see that as a big issues though I'd like someone to kick about with. I don't work right now. Please don't tell me to "find work or volunteer" that will make things worse with consuming my time more to just work and come home that's it. I have enough money from disability money. That is the same amount as a part time job. It's enough to live on comfortably. Though I have nothing to do. I can't meet a gf or friends without being exposed outside the home. I go swimming once a week and ice skating once a week though friendships don't come home with me after that. Help thanks 

I don't have a drivers license yet so I can't give him lifts or take us places. Even when I'm invited to his house I usually need a lift because walking in the dark would be risky. Also I live in a small college dorm so I can't ask him over, but I feel bad I get invited to his proper house with a kitchen and guest bedroom and all. I'm not even allowed a fridge in my dorm or to cook anything. I just need some advice on how to not feel like such a leech and someone just using my friend. Practical suggestions that fit into the student budget please. I'd like to be helpful to him and his 25 year old partner to show maturity in the friendship and trustworthiness.

This is probably extremely dramatic and unimportant, but I need advice. A couple of days ago I suggested to my friends that we go out on an upcoming Saturday. We never made actual plans and briefly spoke about it before we moved onto another topic. I remembered about a birthday party also taking place on the same Saturday, (I didn't realize it was that soon) So I simply asked if we can just move our plans to Sunday or another day we were free since no official plan was made and it was barely spoken about. Two out of the four in our friend group were going to the birthday party, and one of our "friends" got really angry and petty. She said and even posted passive aggressive and immature things online and was talking about us to the fourth friend. Previously, this "friend" would be physically aggressive, call us names and be generally mean at times. I admit there were times I spoke about her too, but after a personal issue, I decided to be the bigger person and ignore her. Now she is calling us fake friends,ignored us for a day as well and is attempting to make us jealous. She's been talking really badly and its gotten to a point where we're scared about even confronting her because she would probably get violent. What should I do? ( again probably very dramatic especially since there are even bigger problems in the world)

I graduated college in 2018 from a large university. Most of the "friends" I made are from out of state and therefore moved back home. All of my childhood friends have moved far away. And now most of the people I work with are in their 40s and married with kids. I want to go out and do things over the weekend, but I have a hard time feeling the confidence to do anything since I am alone.
