Im the designated driver for my sister and one of her friends but we are in a group of people ive only met once. I have severe social anxiety and am very awkward. How do i come off as not immature and more confident than i am?

I've been following this guy for 6 months or so. He posts about natural health remedies and herbal medicine etc. I've been following him since he started and had around 100 followers. I comment on his posts, interact with him frequently and get involved in the conversations he has about healthcare. He had about 300 followers and was following around the same last time I was on his account reading one of his posts last week. Now suddenly he has 10.1k followers, he unfollowed me and probably about 10 or less other people. It seems really fake and unecessary to unfollow someone who interacts with you and shares your posts and then buy 10k followers all to look cool. They're all bot accounts from india, russia, china etc. It seems as if people like that are all about making it appear as though they barely follow anyone and have thousands of followers just to look cool. In case anyone comments, I'm an attractive woman and I didnt do anything to offend this person or anything that would make them want to unfollow me, I also post about similar topics and natural health, so we are like minded

I'm really worried about my friend.  She's accepted her ex's friend request and I I'm scared she'll get hurt again.  I don't understand why she did, and he obviously wants her back because he told he still loves her (she showed me the message).  And I feel like she still has feelings for her and that's the only reason she's done this.  What can I do?

Just yesterday I got news that a close family friend and her 1 year old baby caught coronavirus. When I texted some of my friends of 6 years, half of them left me on read. While one of them acted like it's no big deal the other two just read the message and didn't say anything. I called them out for it and they ended up making ME feel bad about it. It just seems like if your friend was clearly worried and upset about someone they know having a deadly disease that kills people with similar health issues that one would show sympathy or something of the sort. How would you have responded and that do you think?

So I am 19 years old and I recently moved to the US. I have friends who has well just moved and we are like acquaintance, but then we started to hang out a little but not that much like 3 times or 4. Then all of the sudden those two friends start to hang out more often and leaving me alone, I have been depress by this for over like 2 month asking myself if am I correct to be feeling jealousy? also those two friends they know each other before but not that much. basically friend 1 is is closer to the other one to me, but still leaving me out.

sometimes when I talk to this guy I work with, he tells me how he doesn't really have any hobbies and he can't wait to go home just so he can lay on his bed and just look at the ceiling. I just talked to him recently and he calls "just sitting in his room scrolling through fb on his phone" as something he enjoys doing.. idk it just doesn't sound like something a happy person in my opinion. Maybe I'm overreacting but sometimes like that, he sounds kind of depressed.  I just care .. should I do anything?  Please don't confuse this with me actually thinking he's unhappy.  I'm just a little worried is all.  Also we have been getting close. He started the initial action and I liked him enough to accept his friendship.  I'm just unsure if this is how he is choosing to bond and open up or if its something more. 

Ok in like 2 months is my 21st birthday. The thing is I don't really have friends or a girlfriend or anything I have one friend who is dumb and stupid. I'm not being mean but it is true one girl asked me if I'm doing anything big and I said I have no clue. What if she comes and it's just me and this other weird guy oh man that will not go down well. I really want new friends, real friends who can be trusted and not losers who never shower and break my stuff. It's upsetting not having anyone to talk to and my parents get on my nerves. The thing is people will probably look at me and think I have hundreds of friends because I'm always happy and I'm clean and not scruffy. But they have no idea that I'm I'm just a loner. It just makes me feel hopeless. What girl will want to talk to someone like me? If I had real friends then problem solved. What can I do?

With COVID19 I was wondering if it would be wise to visit a friend of mine since the state was just reopened. My friend lives in a small town with no confirmed cases so I'm wondering if its worth the risk. 

Please don't take this the wrong way, as I never liked how he would always talk down to me & the staff.  This made me want to smash his face in. At 22 y/o, I worked@a pool hall with a very conceited co-worker. When I say "conceited," I mean the cliché conceited character on TV sitcoms who admires himself in mirror while ignoring his prom date. Translation: he was not subtly cocky.  The pool hall was his side gig, as he had a career in suit/tie environment.  One night while stationed at concession stand, I asked, "Are you working tonight?," He said, "Oh please!  I have a REAL job."  Another time, he randomly said to me, "It's because of me that you all still have your jobs here."  To my understanding, he didn't own or manage that pool hall. So I think he was trying to sound like a big shot.  20 yrs. later, we're Facebook friends.  His page says he's single.  All of his pics are of him with nephews/nieces/godchildren, as well as niece w/her medal from ice-skating championship.  He even boasted about how his 6 y/o niece was on "Law & Order," merely nothing more than a 2-second scene of her as an extra—getting off school bus with several classmates.  He posted clip on Facebook.  Even though a grown woman posting pics w/children who are not hers, is not frowned upon like when men do that, I'm not criticizing him by any means.  My only concern is based on how he would talk like he's flawless.  Does he have insecurity issues, & uses the kids in his family as a void for being alone?

I have a friend, who is a hoarder She asked me to come by and help declutter their home. I went over. They were giving stuff away. Not a ton. She donated some stuff. But she had new stuff with tags said she wanted to keep them. But she hadn't ever worn them. Figured she wouldnt miss them. B/c she did not even know she had them. She is Asking if i took this stuff. I say yes. She calls me a thief and our friendship is ruined. I feel awful. But it was stuff i did not think she would miss..because she did not even know she still had them.  help me justify? Or berate me? I feel awful. I did not intend to keep most of it. But was trying to help get it out. And I got so jealous that she had all this stuff that was hidden with tags. New stuff. But couldn't be bothered to love it while she had it. I did go return everything I took. 

Last night my sister, my friend, and her friends were watching a movie. Her friend told me to get popcorn, as we were out. When I got back, the lights were off and my sister went to bed. When I sat down on the couch, one of her friends started being very serious with me. She told me she was going to call my work and tell them that I have a small "thing." This is not true. I was really scared about his and they demanded I take off my underwear and shirt and started spitting all over my face. It was so disgusting and evil I felt like I was going to have a heart attack and felt like throwing up from the smell. What should I do? Is this assault? I

A friend has been hanging out with a guy she has feelings for, but the two of them have a history of the guy cheating WITH this friend and the guy hurting her in various ways by abruptly cutting off contact for months, bluntly insulting her as "jokes," using her for sex, etc. She's become increasingly isolated from her friends, and now, in quarantine, just stays over at the guy's apartment for days on end. Btw they are not officially dating. Me and many other of her close friends have repeatedly checked up on her in the past and asked her to be careful. Whenever I have the chance to talk to her, she tells me she knows that things needed to change between her and the guy, so I try to give her advice and encourage her. But, although she says she'll try, she later calls me judgmental and nosy behind my back. I'm also personally annoyed because she's often flaked on or just ignored my and other friend's plans to hang out because the guy suddenly asked to spend time with her. But I'm still genuinely concerned for her well-being and whether this relationship is healthy. Is this concern valid or is it not my business?

for the longest time i had a crush on this woman Emily from work. She was 35 and im 24, we used to talk all the time at work but she was married with kids and I obviously respect that. I felt like we began getting closer and closer at work, she would always stare at me like crazy, she would blush every time we talked and I could feel a connection between us. She laughed with me the time, we knew eachother 2 years Emily confessed to one of my best friends that she was falling for me, she mentioned how I'm an amazing guy and cares alot for me, but I'm too young plus she's happily married. she told my friend to never tell me the truth so i dont get my hopes up    later on at work there was a lot of drama because everyone thought me and Emily were having an affair. everyone kept talking about about us and making rumors. rumours began getting carried away, my manager told me to stop talking to Emily but Emily would still talk to me behind everyone's back. I knew Emily was having drama with 2 other coworkers.. Eventually i noticed Emily would give me the cold shoulder, one day for her birthday I gave her a gift card and she told my manager about the gift card. My manager got mad and moved me to a different department far way from her... two weeks later she quit and blocked me on facebook. Emily returned in February after being gone for one year, she doesn't look me in the eyes and its like i dont exesit. Why did she chage with me? Does she hate 

Are friends considered a person's loved ones? And do true friends care about you as much as your family does? 

Im the purple bubble and he is the grey one 

I have been best friends with this girl for 16 years and her family has forever had issues with mine due to their intense religious views. Me being a part of the lgbtq community, my parents not having the same religious views, etc. Her and her family have been next door neighbors with my grandparents for 16 years and all of a sudden her dad is freaking out over their sheds they've had for years in their backyard - to the point he called the town on them and then came over when my grandfather was home alone and he screamed in his face and cussed him out like he was going to physically hurt him. At this point we are both adults (me and my friend) and I have no idea what to do in this situation. I am NOT okay with someone coming to my grandparents property and harassing them - my family is my number one priority and I don't take **** like this lightly but I also dont want to take this out on her. ugh what do I do??? 

ok so little time ago i told someone something that made them feel sorry for me (which was a very stupid thing i did) and not gonna lie i actually wanted them to feel sorry for me because they were talking behind my back and i already had a rough day so i told them that something bad happened to me a time ago.... like REALLY bad and somehow they believed it. but then the person who i told them that literally screenshoted and then sent it to the groupchat.. no one really saw it (or even care) expect one person. of course me and that person who sent it to aren't friends anymore but what i really worried about my other friend who saw that. they've been always supportive and always on my side and i really wanna tell them it was all fake but i'm scared they might get mad and leave me...i don't know what should i do(?) should i tell them the truth or forget about it? 

I'm a 22 year old guy. I'm online friends with a 17 year old girl. She lives in my city, and I added her online because we had friends in common on Snapchat. Anyhow, I've never met her in person. We've been online friends since January. We kinda casually go back and fourth on Snapchat, mostly replying to each other's post. I'm not quite ready to ask her if she wants to meet in person, I'd like to get there, but right now I really enjoy talking to her. I would like to nurture this friendship and maybe meet her in person one day. Any advice for the situation as a whole? We like to send each other selfies and posts about our day.

I manipulated a situation into existence. One that caused my friend to start fighting with another friend... nothing major but still seems wrong... atleast sometimes. I took 10 dollars from my friends room... Because I knew she would assume it was our other friend, cause them to get into a fight, and then stop hanging out for a bit. Its not that I am jealous, but I am concerned... the accused friend is a drug addict and has slowly weakened our friend up to accepting heavy drugs....and has at this point got her to take drugs like fentanyl for the first time... I warned her that hanging out with her too much is dancing with the devil... we are old friends and I should know...but she already thinks the drugs are okay and started hanging out with her more and more..lasting later into the night. All this is happening as my friend finally gets another job and starts getting back on her feet again... (she fell into a deep depression after her the loss of her child which I believe is what lead to her being more susceptible to our other friends peer pressure.) But when they fought, our drug friend started to cry claiming that she gets blamed for everything.... I felt horrible but then I think about how I am ending the start of that pattern before it goes to the point of what may be no return.

Lifelong friendships? Group friendships? I feel like I'm horrible at socializing beyond small talk around new people. Any tips or stories? Thanks! Online friendships?

I've seen fully grown woman carrying little kids boys over their shoulder. Are they only capable of doing when they're that young?

so basically I have an internet friend and we are like best friends and recently for some reason he's been ignoring me idk why and I don't know what to do i want to talk to him but i dont want to seem too desperate. should i wait till he says something or just dm him. btw yesterday i DMed him asking if he's mad or something and he said no and changed the topic by the way he's gay and I'm a girl

He was a guy who we used to see every day at vacations and someday he approached me and flirt with me.Then suddenly i saw my best friend to be very moody even though she tried to hide it...Then she start to not talk to me and my other friend and she avoid usMy other friend was asking me all the time for the guy but my best friend did not asked me anything

I was really close with my freshman year of college roommate. We were incredibly close but had a falling out. She just graduated and I am now a senior. Since it was my fault that ended our friendship, I messaged her last week and explained how sorry I was for what had happened. I also told her no need to reply but I hoped she was well.  She replied with this :  Hey *name*, I really appreciate this message and the thought that went into it. I've thought of it several times over the past week and it has brought a smile to my face because I have so much love for you. Thank you for what you said. I hope you are well.  Love *name*  I liked the message and then follower her on Instagram (where we messaged), and she did back. I'm not sure if it's just a cordial, closure response or if I should respond and try to forge a new friendship?  Any input is helpful. 

My friend met up with a guy at his house for the first time and she sent me her location just to be safe as a girl would typically do. It's been over 3 hours and I have texted a few times to check in and got nothing I've also called twice and got nothing. I'm like 95% sure she's fine but there is always that small chance something bad could happen. When should I react? Should I go to this mans house or get police involved? And at what point? I don't want to go barging inside in case they are just really having a good time but I just want her safe. Mind you it's currently 1:30am. She said if I was still awake after she'd come visit me which to me indicates she wasn't going to spend the night. And I would think if she changed her mind she would at least let me know. 

If school faculties know that I have no friend the faculties will ask me to go another school or something. But no one sit next to me in the class and if I don't say hello to a friend and that person yells at me. They like to spread false rumor about me they avoid me what should I do?

I am a college guy, and about three months ago I finally told the girl who had been my best friend away at college basically that I had been in love with her the entire time. She did not feel the same way and it crushed me, but we agreed to remain friends and try and put it behind us. Three months later it has been really hard to do, especially since my feelings haven't subsided. Any advice on how to get our friendship where it used to be, or if it's even possible?

There is only one way to describe my mother in law (Pam). She is beautiful. She is also one of the nicest persons you ever will meet. Pam and I work in the same large office building. Occasionally we have lunch at a local restaurant. Sometimes when my wife can get off work, she joins us for lunch. At the last lunch, it was just Pam and me. Some of my female co workers who know my wife saw us and when I got back from lunch, they got on my case about me being a married man and having lunch with a beautiful blonde. I told them my wife was OK with me having lunch with this blonde. They said "Typical man". "No wife would approve of her husband having lunch alone with such a beautiful woman". I thought I would explain she was my mother in law but I decided they would probably not believe me anyway. Gals, am I right about this? I knew these women would probably call my wife and tell her what I did. That should be a fun conversation to listen to. I think they are going to be embarrassed when they find out that blonde was my mother in law. Should I have told them I was having lunch with my mother in law?
