So during class, one of my female friends whom I talk to on Facebook messenger took my computer monitor and flipped it down while grinning.  I fixed the monitor and as she was walking by my desk again, she flipped it down again and grinned slightly.  The printer happened to be near my desk, she was making trips to the printer. When she flipped my monitor down, she didn't look mad and she didn't give me a condescending look so that's good I guess. She claims were just friends. 

My life is a **** despite working hard my entire life. I have no friends, no people who love me.

Is that all these people have to live for is to protest? I don't understand it. I follow people on twitter and some of these people literally are posting tweets every 30 minutes about black lives matter everyday all day long. What do these people do with their lives? How can you be spending all day on twitter everyday posting social justice warrior stuff for months straight. Sure you are fighting to help promote equality and justice for others, but you are ruining your own life in the process And what's even funnier is they got like 2 likes per post. Seriously? You're gonna waste your entire life being unproductive on the internet reposting tweets so 2 people can like your tweet, for 12 hours a day everyday? you're basically dedicating your life to an anonymous audience of 2 people you've never even met before

So I just got a new manager and I'd like to surprise her with something small. Just a small gesture. Like an apple or something. And ideas?? I don't know too much about her so I'm trying to think of something of a small gift or treat everyone likes. I work in a grocery store. It could be an apple, a cup cake, etc.

My friends don't like each other at all. But I want to invite them both because I don't want them to feel left out but don't want to make them feel weird or uncomfortable. 

He's fallen on the longest string of bad luck I've ever seen. He keeps trying though where most people would have given up long before now. He's becoming bitter, though. I can't just shovel him money because I'm always living on the edge nurturing my young adult children along to their successes.

... or did they simply mature and know better now.  Let's say a student who is biracial, graduated from high school in 2000.  Throughout his years there, he kept telling his classmates that he counts as black, and tried to explain the 1% rule.  But they would wag their finger in that "no no no" gesture and disagree with him.  But then eight years later, they count Obama as one of their own.  Is this because they were young and dumb in high school and therefore didn't know any better when it comes to race?  Or were they simply teasing their biracial classmate, since he had to have the last word and wouldn't accept not counting as black at his school, i.e he was sort of throwing tantrums.  So were they just trying to get a rise out of him while secretly knowing for a fact that he IS black??

Are true friends more important then family? 

Still in university, I was apart of the anime club for close to two years. A friend I had made in that same club had began after that amount of time had passed began to show her hidden feelings toward me after finding out I was Christian, beginning with the social media. After biting the bullet, and finally commenting on her latest post, I asked her if she truly had a problem with me. The minute after, four others joined in our "conversation". The "conversation" continued to not only drag on for hours, but became gradually more aggressive, which became increasingly well aware from my ex-friend herself. I had enough to the point where I talked it over with some people on my end, resulting in my calling the police in the end to make a report. Before going through with that measure, I contacted the club president, who told me it had nothing to do with him, despite being among three or more club members, due to it not happening inside the cliub room. Next meeting I showed up to, he pulled me aside to berate me in front of the same ex-friend telling me how in the wrong I was for harassing her and how petty I am.

I don't dislike my friends by means but any means but I don't want it to make a habit again hanging out with them once-twice a week. They are nice but annoying as heck. I realize I'm becoming more of an introvert ever since this Coronavirus happened and still feel funny about hanging out in public. I told my one friend this two weeks ago and she still wants to hang out this weekend. My other friend and I have been friends for fifteen years but I been getting back to him not as often and keeping the conversation casual. We actually had a huge disagreement back in February and I wanted to distance myself. It's tough when you been friends with someone so long. Please any advice would help. I just don't want to straight out say "I don't want to hang out with you anymore". I just feel like they aren't getting the hint...

My friend and I want to hangout, but every time I talk to my parents or try to make plans they tell me we can't hangout and they even threaten me by saying that if I hangout with him and leave the house, I'm not welcome home anymore. What am I supposed to say and do when I'm a full time college student with no job, and I just want to hangout with my friend. How do I talk to them about how I feel unwelcome bring home and that I want to go out and do stuff but they won't let me?

I was close to my roommate during my freshman year. We basically only hung out with each other lol. Were in summer now and have kinda been keeping in touch. When summer first started we would talk like every 2 weeks.  So it's June and we haven't talked since last month which is weird for her because she normally texts. I know she's probably been busy or something like that but I m the type of girl who needs reassurance with these things because during the year we had a talk about something which I don't really want to get into and she promised she never would do it or wasn't going to do it and now that shes not talking to me, it's making me think she's doing something shady and doing the thing that she told me she wouldn't do. Idk we live 2 hrs apart and I've tried to give her the benefit of the doubt but I see her hanging out with friends a lot. The last time we texted, I sent the text to let her know something and it took her 2 DAYS to answer and when she did she was like "great thanks sorry I didn't answer" and was acting really weird and Idk why. I don't wanna be friends with someone I cant trust. It hurt my feelings and makes me think I can't trust her and it's honestly driving me crazy. I don't know what to do. 

There's a huge fire that's spreading in their area. Everyone is evacuating. My friend that lives there had to pack everything and leave. Would it be weird if I emailed my daughter's teacher and ask if she is okay? or would that be weird?

My son and his friend (20 and 23) sneak out into the swamp behind the house all the time and come home absolutely covered, head to toe in Mud. What is the appeal? They do it all the time. Enlighten me.

So, I have this really close friend. Whenever we're on the same "boat" in terms or work, education, love life, she'd always be there for me, responding as quickly as possible etc. However, if something is not quite working out on her side, she'd ignore me. I'm always trying to be supportive, to help her or at least to just listen and she does not return my calls/texts with weeks or even a month or so. I of course always give her space, but at the same time I feel odd as if I'm not being a good friend. It's confusing. I don't want to sound selfish, but life also happens to me and throughout the time she disappears, I start to wonder if I did something wrong, if I offended her in any way. Sometimes I just need a friendly shoulder as well, but she's ghosting me. My questing is whether you think this is a logical behaviour on her side or whether I'm expecting too much. I start to question how good of a friend she really is, because no matter how busy someone is, you always have 5 min to respond to a text...that is if you want to.

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

What do you call someone who brags about helping others? for example someone vents to you or tells you what problems they have in their life and "the bragger" helps them and goes around and brags about it.

So my ex and I broke up 9 months ago and he decided we were just better off as friends, our friendship grew and we got closer than ever before, we ended up forming a group of some of our mutual friends, it was his best friend and my best friend who ended up coming into this group,  my best friend knew how much I still loved him and he was getting a little touchy touchy with her when we were hanging out last, I ended up finding out that they ******. I'm very close with his brother and his brother has admitted he would like to do sexual things with me. But I'm just so pissed at my best friend for ******* my ex I feel like I should get back at both of them some how

My friend claims she was raped in 5th grade at night by a stranger with a gun. She said she had consistent nightmares and trauma. I believed her at first. I felt so bad since her family was so dysfunctional too. Now I'm noticing some things that seem off about her.  1) a couple years ago she once claimed a girl she had been flirting with raped her. She said she didn't fight back or say no to this girl. She just froze. I felt devastated for her. Until she kept coming over to this girl's house for sex. I just never understood why she would ever have consensual sex with someone who supposedly raped her.2) Eventhough she was "raped", in 5th grade, she's not compassionate to other rape victims. For example, her sister was sexually abused by her step dad, but she always would say her sister was lying for attention. She never believed her sister, even after her step dad groped her one night and didn't stop when she said no. Idk about you but if someone told me they were raped by a man who groped me even after I said, "No", I wouldn't think they were lying. Another example is when a mutual friend was assaulted on a date. She told them that they were a tease and a liar. What rape victim would do that? 3) She lies 90% of the time. She's extremely two faced. She talks trash about her friends all the time. I just don't know if she really is lying or not, since she's a good liar. Plus she seems to have trauma.

No entiendo el por qué pero me siento solo

I am about to be 28 years old next month and my friend is 18 years old. I am 10 years older and we recently wanted to know something here about what the pros and cons I have against him both physically and mentally. What nature differences are there between us 2? 

It's great that we are close but I know I am way too attached to her and it's actually starting to become a problem. I really struggle with making new friends so she is all I have really. Any advice on how to get less attached?
