So I'm 19 years old, and I just got home from college before the coronavirus stuff happened. Now that I'm home, all I ever hear from my dad is insults about how I'm gay, even though I'm straight. I have a best friend that I talk to and we're pretty close. He always says that if I hang out or talk to him that I'm being gay with my friend. It's like he wants me to pull away. My dad knows I'm not gay and I've told him that I'm not abd it's getting annoying. What do I do to make it stop? It's like he's trying to manipulate me into ditching my friend because I think I look gay or something and I'm supposed to be afraid if that.

This was few months ago, just thought about it now. Started new job, there was a happy hour the fourth day. I had only really talked to one person in office who was training me. I went to social, only knowing him. I managed to mingle with everyone though by the end of it. At end of social I talked to him and he said he was afraid I'd mainly just try to talk to him whole night. I told him I like to be social and he said its good to be extroverted to a degree. He probably wasn't implying he thought I was awkward right. Its probably based on the context that I was brand new and knew no one in the office really besides him right?

So my friend and I have been talking since 2018. We've been cool but like it feels so one sided at times. I even asked her do I even feel like a friend to her. I've texted her but now it feels like she's ignoring me. I didn't do anything, it sorts feels like she lost interest in being my friend now. I don't know what it is, I tried to be a good friend. I've had a past of some crappy friends but after some years of cutting those people off it felt like I found someone I could really relate to and have similar interests in. Maybe I see her as a friend but maybe she doesn't feel the same...

I like challenges and mysteries. Always critically thinking. PROBLEM is I usually unknowingly give the surprise/secret away. Relatives hide everything from me especially around XMAS & birthdays. (if left out in open = they change size of box ASAP) If I see a gift, and/or know intended person. Just by sight alone I can tell you what it is. Usually by accident. (gifters don't tell me to keep secret) (can't help it. my memory is bad due to TBI, might say mistakenly, catching myself at end of thought/sentence) I ruined Mother surprised gift for her child's birthday. (seen box in mail, recalled b-day, stated most probably gift. Child heard days before b-day. Child grew impatient annoyed both parents)

Why did she immediatly tell me this crap??? I mean what does she mean? I have never done something bad to her so why she humilate me like this?? Yes a handsome guy hitted on me!! What is her problem?

My Best friend of 24 years whom I grew up with has gone MIA. The last time I chatted with them was in September and everything was fine, we talked regularly over Skype and played games together as he moved to a different country for work. It was shortly after September I noticed that all of his online accounts had been deleted (Discord, Steam, Facebook, Telegram, phone numbers) I've tried messaging and calling his phone numbers but no response. We found out that the company he had been working for went out of business. He came back in December to see his family. I knew this as I met his father and he told me. We (my friend and I phoned his home phone) and tried to get through to him, however his parents said he didn't want to talk right now. Since then there has been no contact.  None of his other friends have heard from him either. I'm extremely worried and would like to get in touch with him, however I'm not sure how to proceed. I am very close to the family so I thought I might try his parents. Any advice would be much appreciated!

I don't feel like I have anyone in my life who truly cares about me besides my dad. My mom is abusive, and all my friends either act like they can control me or are a jerk to other friends. I hate feeling like this. I hate trying to be so nice to people when all they treat me like garbage. I don't get to spend much time with my dad because he has to work from home for at least 8 hours a day. I do so much for people but get nothing in return. My friendships are crumbling and I don't like doing daily activities anymore. I like to use this platform as a place to rant anonymously and get advice.

When I was in high school I was struggling to find a job until my senior year when I finally managed to get hired on at sonic, meanwhile they all lucked out and got jobs before me and rubbed their money in my face to make me feel worthless, but now they all got fired from their jobs and living on the streets and i have my own apartment and my own car, and still have a job. How can I make them feel even worse out of spite for them doing the same to me when we were in high school 4 years ago? I was thinking about finding them walking around town and pulling up on them and revving my engine and screaming "hey check out MY new car, pretty sexy huh? Wheres your car? Oh wait thats right, you don't have one hahahaha" and driving off. Would that get to them? 

To make a..loong story short I made a mistake to a close freind of mine who I have known for 5 years shes a female and she said she wanted space so I'm giving her space were still in school buy at school I dont acknowledge her or even say hi to her so one night I saw her walking home with her boyfriend ( she's my neighbor) I didn't even say anything to her and I'm giving her space like she asked the next  day I was her little sisters said that you seen my sister last night and I said yea why..she said she saw you her sister said And I'm like ok what is she mentioning me for and then after some unrelated stuff I went back in the house then 10 minutes later she appeared at my door with her bestfriend and my friend let's call her A she said if i got anything to say or if I wanna see if she is alright I can come to her instead of asking her sister's no disrespect included and I said ok..but you asked for space and she said yeah but you can still say hi and bye and act like you dont know me What I did I admit I had feelings for her I told her of course and we talked about transitioning to the next level..but she didn't want to ruin our freindship and it was the truth I thought she was lying..my feelings became stronger and I started to act borderline clingy and I lied saying that I don't like like that anymore but I still did ..i told why i did what i did because i didn't want to lose her as a freind  She understood my point of view and ... I apologized sincerely again and the next  day she said I forgive you but I'll never ever forget and I said thank you and I pinky promised her that I would never lie to her again and she pinky locked me back ..and right now I'm giving her space now because i know trust dosent immediately come back and I'm saying hi to her now..I'm sorry that this is very long and I just want to hear your thoughts that if saying hi is good or bad thing
