I try to be nice but people think that isn't good enough. They all say that I'm rude to everyone and that I'm annoying. When I ask them how I'm being annoying, they avoid the question. They seem like they want me to bug them. My friends keep making fun of me and I can't take it. I act rude twords people because I don't know how to stand up for myself. When I try to, it comes out the wrong way and people end up not trusting me. I don't know who actually means what they say and who is just joking, so I don't even know who to stop hanging out with. And me having social anxiety, I don't give complements, say thank you, etc. that much, so people think I'm being rude on purpose, expecially since not that many peple know I have it. They just think I'm the kind of person just seeking for attention or is just there. What should I do?

I really want someone to chat with online, but I don't know where to look. I tried Omegle, but that was a big mistake....

They said that they didn't like how I went to the others about how one of them made me feel. I do this because when Suzy is mad at me I try to talk to her and she ignores me so I can't tell her how I feel if I do try to talk to her she has an attitude and then goes and tells Cathy and Sarah. Then they're all mad at me. That's why then they all left me and I went after them to explain again because when I tried to talk to Suzy she  got mad and looked away and then I tried again and she yells at me again. I tried to ask Sarah why she was mad at me and she said all of the s**t "I put them through" I can't take back and to stop following them around like a lost puppy. So I cried and cried and prayed to god and I didn't talk all day and I cried A LOT and everywhere kept trying to comfort me but apparently according to them if someone asks me what's wrong and I use their name that's "talking behind their back". So I just stayed quite and Suzy said that my mom needs to keep her mouth shut. I cried in my room by myself and I feel horrible like I want to take my own life. I'm getting teary eyed riht now by typing this. :(

 I turned to my other friend Let's call her Emily I told Emily about how Suzy was treating me and Suzy was mean to her too all the time and I would try to stand up for Emily when Suzy was mean to me. Suzy then said that someone told her that I called her a b which isn't true and she won't tell me who. Today was the worst day today for me. Suzy, Cathy, Sara(let's call her that sure) all at the table today whispered about me and I could hear what they're saying all of a sudden Suzy starts shouting at me saying she hates how I called her that she says that she wasn't even mean to me and going to Emily was "talking behind her back" (she did that to me and other people too ao it goes both ways) and then they all said how when I'm upset I let it out on all of them I started to tell them why because of what goes on at home and that I'm trying to work on it meanwhile they were laughing at something else and not even listening to me and then they had the nerve to say that I don't tell them how I feel your not listening and I don't mean to be sour when I say it I'm still trying not too but when I'm mad I have a headache and  I kind of do become Godzilla I don't mean too. I apologized 5 times and they wouldn't accept it. Suzy didn't apologize for being mean to me and talking about me and I had to apologize!. Then we went outside and they said how they felt and I tried apologizing but once again they ween't listening and they don't like how I go to them about the others. I do that.....

So one day I was with my mom my School had 1 3 hour delay anyway my mom is sweet and sometimes VERY hotheaded and easily gets mad. She started to call me names and said stuff about my "best friend" let's call her Suzy. Anyway I told Suzy and it was okay then. Then a few days later my other best friend's birthday was coming up let's call her Cathy. So my other friends were planning out putting all of the stops for her birthday I didn't want to participate because I feel like they like her more than me and I try to do as many things as I can for them but, and Suzy said that she would get her a cupcake and sing her happy birthday I was mad not about a STUPID cupcake I was made because I try to do everything for them that I can on any day and when it's their birthday if they tell me when it is. But when it's mine they forget the date and I have to remind them EVERY YEAR! even though I tell them months and days ahead. My so called "best friend" Suzy started being mean to me because she thought I was mad about the cupcake and I wasn't I tried to tell her why but when I tried to talk to her about it she pretended she didn't hear me and looked the other way and said stuff about me and I cried 3 days straight that week. She talked about me I could hear her and she even called me an effing b. It really hurt...…...

I asked this guy if he was mad at me and I told him not to be mad and he laughed.

I asked this guy if he was mad at me and I told him not to be mad and he laughed.

I've been friends with this guy for 20+ years but in recent years, I'm wondering can our friendship survive. We get on really well and have had some great times together. He always makes me laugh and we never run out of conversation. However, I'm not sure if he brings out the best in me and is the best person to hang out with. We come from different social classes - and he harbours resentments about his social standing. He has hang ups about his childhood schooling and not having had all the opportunities other have had (people like me). He's hardworking and motivated (to prove people wrong). But his lack of manners has become more tiresome for me. He's totally closed minded and "hates" anything he feels is "upper class" (the arts, rugby, etc). In recent years, I've decided to improve my dress sense, so I've ditched Vans for leather shoes and bought some nice jackets, shirts and a watch. My friend continues to dress badly in my opinion - and his personal hygiene his disapproved - yet he sees my choices as "dandyism". He spits everywhere - on the street, as we walk about the city together - he's even done it indoors in bars (in posh neighbourhoods). Once when drinking in a bar last years in my neighbourhood (the "rich" neighbourhood) we walked home and he urinated on the street - a 3 minute walk from my front door. I was disgusted. He often declares he is "middle class". But I'm tired of hearing this. To me, he has no class. Can our friendship be saved? Is it worth saving?

So this coworker and I have been getting really close lately. I think we've always liked each other but it seems like now things are just naturally happening to make our friendship/ relationship grow without anything being forced or us trying to make it happen. So the other day my grandfather went into the hospital and we thought he wouldn't make it so I left work early to drive from Orange County to LA. My coworker has a place in LA and he gave me his house keys to stay there for the night (he wasn't there) while I was there. Is this crossing a line? I just don't know what to do in this situation. My "work mom" basically told me this morning that we have crossed a line but I don't see anything wrong with it. I'm 27 and he is 38. What do I do? 

I'm good friends with my coworker and her daughter. I also recently befriended her daughter's friend who hangs out with us a lot. I feel like I may be being used though because whenever we hang out like go out to eat or go shopping, I am ALWAYS the one who drives. I don't mean to brag but I do have the nicest car but still, I'm always the one who drives. Sometimes my coworker will ask for rides to places too (not to hang out just for a ride) & I'll bring up the fact that she has a car if I can't make it and her excuse (also her daughter's excuse) is that they don't want to move their car because they may lose their parking spot on the street. The street is tight for parking they have no driveway so I get it. How should I approach this situation? Thanks 

I was assigned a project at work that required more time than was available. My boss told me he would have another employee help me get the project done. I was really happy as if I did not finish this project on time, my job was in on the line. Much to my surprise the guy assigned to help me was a guy, James I had went to high school with many years ago and I had turned him down for dates. I just knew I was in BIG trouble. However James did not appear to recognize me. Perhaps because I am now using my married name. For the first month, I lived in fear that he would try to sabotage my work to get back at me for turning him down for dates. However just the opposite happened. He worked very hard to help me complete the project on time and under budget. Until the end, I just knew he was going to cause me problems. Turns out he is a great guy that I really appreciate helping me. I feel the need to tell him how sorry I am that I turned him down for dates in high school. I am also ashamed I thought he would want revenge for what I did to him. Should I tell him how I feel and if so, how do I do it or should I just forget the whole thing and move on. I don't want to embarrass him in ANY way. Guys, I would specially like your thoughts on this.

I know it for a fact: he is taller and heavier than the 12 year old, but less agile and perhaps not as quick.

She is a 13 years old girl.,She has no friend,many girls bullied her... one day she tried to hug me but I just avoid it,then I embarrassed her....she made my life a living hell...she invade my privacy,she post private pictures of me on facebook...she was just so mean..she constantly try to find a way to humiliate me in class...i've tried to send her to the office but nothing had worked until....one day she came to me crying,telling me that her dad had just die and that she has no one else..i felt terrible for her,I told her that i will be there for her if she needs someone to talk to and that everything will be just fine...  I'm a 28yrs old middle school teacher(male)

I've lost contact with my best friend, I am dying to find them again but I cant seem to find them anywhere. The only social accounts I know have been inactive for a year, I did message on both of those but my messages haven't even been read and I'm not sure they will be. Their Instagram which was active fairly recently has been deleted. They moved so I have no clue for an address. I am completely beside myself right now, I would give almost anything to talk to them again but I cant find them. 

Long story short, I am having to move out of a condo I just rented due to significant water damage and mold. I had to fork over a lot of money to move in, and now i need to move out immediately. This place I got was for me and my friend....who is homeless and was jobless for a long time. I tell my friend that the place I just got for us is not safe to live in....and this friend goes on a yelling spree about how careless I am with my money...im like really...really...you are lecturing me about spending my when I literally just saved you from being homeless and give you money, food and shelter. Oh, and this friend wastes all his money on strippers and that's why he is homeless....yet I am the one who is dealing with this mold issue and water damage issue alone and getting anger from the same friend I am helping. Btw, my friend is mentally ill but still he is sane enough to know right from wrong. Ive known him for years. I care about his well being. This last time he was homeless, he was close to suicide. Now his biplar is on the manic side, and thats when he becomes a jerk. I honestly think the only thing I did wrong was trying to help him and give him assistance. Trust me, that wont be happening again. editing the part where he knows right from wrong. he does know right from wrong basically but not when it comes to his life or people that he is close too...and im the only friend he has

A few friends and I have been questioning the saying "you get what you get.." for a while now and it seems that our friend group is split between "You get what you get and you don't get upset" and "you get what you get and you don't throw a fit". Neither side is willing to have an actual argument with each other and start yelling without explanation that the other is right. obviously "get" and "upset" rhyme with each other which makes me believe its the first option but I'm really not sure. If anyone has any insight into this please let me know!!! Ask your friends!!

Repost because I posted the other one late: What a conundrum. We're 25, been together a bit more than 4 years. We've been through lots, lots of downs. Therefore my friends and family wish I would find someone else. On the other hand, my partner hates my friend(s). My bestfriend is getting married, and as a bridesmaid, I stay up with her all night planning and talking the wedding out. My partner HATES her fiancé. Doesn't want me staying there or spending time with her because he'll be sleeping upstairs and gaming in the basement. He thinks me and my best friends fiancé and are you hook up. While she's in the house. I know I can go home, and I do. It's the fact it's a huge yelling fight when I go over there.  Why my friends/ family have their reservations: There were lots of occurrences where we had huge blowouts about me going out with my sister, or friends for birthdays: name calling, to point that my family would hear through walls. Or he would call me and yell at me through the phone, when with my friends. That's how they don't care for him. (I should note that he does a lot for me, though) It's getting kind of exhausting.  Has anyone else had this issue??

I'd rather not tell them how this man's actions are distorting my reality, or how I'm on the verge of losing myself. When we hang out, it keeps my mind distracted from my sad reality and brings a little joy into my life, these moments with my friends mean more to me than they could ever possibly understand. They don't know how thankful I really am or how nice it feels to not have to fake a smile with them. 

I have a close friend of over 14 years. Shes moving and long story short I found out she's listing her house with another agent other than me via the agent on FB. I confronted her and said my feelings were hurt. She was just matter of fact that she just wanted the agent to be not emotionally connected and not have any feelings one way or another when shes done. I have to respect that but it still hurts. What about loyalty and respecting feelings? Ok nobody is obligated to use anyone, but she could be supportive of me in other ways. 

So I'm having trouble with my maid of honor. I have two best friends. One that lives far away, but I've known my whole life and one that lives here, and I've known for about 10 yrs. I want both of them to be my maid of honors and initially I told the one that lives far away (let's just name her Jane) that I wanted her to be it and she's be my first choice. So my best friend that lives here (let's call her Sally) was asking me who it was going to be. I eventually told here that I might want her or my friend Jane. Well Sally got really upset after I told her that saying "wow" and "I can't believe that. And that she thought we were best friends etc. like to the point where we just didn't talk for a couple of days. I was very nice and told her it wasn't a competition and that I loved her equally, but I've just known my other firmed longer. I do love Sally though and thought about it more how much she's been here for me and has actually been in my life the past 10 years and came up with having two maid of honors and no bridesmaids. Well we eventually made up and I Called my other friend Jane and told her I was thinking about having two MOA and she wasn't upset she just said she probably wouldn't like that and it would be awkward. So I told her okay I'll just tell Sally that there would only be one and it wouldn't be her. But they have both put me through so much stress that I decided it's MY choice. So texted Jane that and she didn't respond and it's been a day, what do I do? 

When I got my first real job out of college, I made the mistake of telling people how much money I made. The problem with this was people felt entitled to help and they also thought I was going to help them get a job where I work at? They also consistently bother me for advice? All this drama I could have just kept my mouth shut. What do you think?

Recently we got a new track coach. Just some background info I was injured during cross country season and I've just been having difficulty getting back into my old shape without pain and such. I'm having trouble keeping up with my teammate who I used to be a lot faster than. It's taken a big toll on me because I considered track a big part of my identity. And I've just been having such low self esteem telling myself that my weight is the reason i'm slower, etc. So from an outsiders perspective I look super slow and lazy. The new coach only pays attention to the one girl. Tons of people graduated or quit so we literally have 3 girls and the rest are boys. He tells everyone individually good job or tells them to speed up but he literally never acknowledges my existence. If i'm beating a teammate he yells for them to pass me. or if i'm catching up he yells for them to speed up. I just feel like he's against me. The team is small so idk i feel like it's intentional. Today i had a good day i was pretty fast and beat the girl. but i overheard him asking her if she was injured and when she said no he was like "then why is kylie beating you?" it just hurts because i've been in such a low place i need that encouragement from a coach i just feel like since he didn't know me at my peak he thinks i have zero potential. Idk it just messes with my head so much. I have no clue why he is ignoring me like that. Any ideas? My dad thinks they ignore me to encourage me but i don't think so
