Q: so me and this guy have known each other for a while, and have been friends for around 4 years. hes diffidently my best guy friend. so anyways every year i feel like were becoming closer and closer. and this year i kinda started to fall for him. recently, i noticed that whenever we talk, especially when i look him in the eye and talk to him, he smiles and blushes, and occasionally looks away for a moment. and when other people talk to him he doesnt do that. atleast not that i know of. no one knows i like him tho. hes really funny, we get along great. we know how to make each other laugh and i like that a lot. but sometimes i just feel like i text him too much about pointless stuff that he doesnt care about and i want to talk to him so badly but i just dont want to seem like annoying, you know?
so anyways, sometimes he can be a bit of a jerk with some of the things he says, but its lessened a lot and he is usually joking around.
but this weekend im going to his sweet 16 birthday party and im excited but i dont know what to expect.
how can i really tell if he likes me or not? its so hard to tell with guys, whether they're into you, just being nice, or flirting is just how they act, or if they're even flirting at all
One thing I can tell you, don't let this go to your head. You are only 15 or 16...do not ruin a friendship because of something that can end sooner than it began. Just be friends, don't think of it too much and don't make it into something it's not. If he wanted you to know he likes you...he would. Don't go down that road. Friendships are easily turned into relationships...but relationships to friendships...take my word for it, never!

Q: would they hate them for it, or think that they hate them, and stop trying to become friends with them? i've just realized i've done this and i think it's the reason why i haven't had really close friends throughout my life, and i'm 18. like people take an interest in me right when they meet me and then the interest dies down and then they stop talking to me and then i end up feeling hurt and like i can't trust them when maybe it's cause i've been putting up a wall, subconsciously stopping them from really getting close to me, and causing a self fulfilling prophecy - that they're going to leave me. but i just feel afraid and i feel like i can't talk to anyone, so i started seeing a therapist about it. it's really embarassing for me to say personal things like that cause i think it would make someone just write me off and not want to be friends with me.. but at the same time not telling someone my problems also doesn't allow us to be close. so i just feel all mixed up with regret and more anger at myself for doing this and not being strong enough to be confident and accepting good and bad responses to someone truly seeing the true me. it's just.. that i'm ashamed that i've let my depression cause me to do bad in school, when i'm a perfectionist, and once again, feel like someone will not wanna associate me for putting myself in this situation. this is all a mess, sorry. the only places i can truly spill everything out are on anonymous sites like this and to my therapist, who i just started seeing today
Hi Sweetie,

Until you are capable of talking about your feelings to somebody that you can trust, don't! You will end up feeling even more ashamed if you tell people your problems and they are not who you truly trust and you are just trying to please them. Try talking about it more in depth with your therapist. I feel as if this stemed on from somewhere, doesn't seem like one of those problems that just occured over night. There is a root to it and you need to figure out what it is. Just be yourself and people will love you in the end..the ones that matter anyway. You sound a lot like me, I learned in the long run...you can't trust everybody and you can't just tell them things just to make them like you...be true to yourself. Everybody else is second, you are always first ;)

Q: I was on fertomid 50 from 11/04 to 15/4 ,i ovulated on 22nd had mittleschmerz later in afternoon but that morning I had sex and the following day pain was gone. Now I. Have slight cramps lower abdomen,no appetites,full chest, farting a lot, it's possible I could be pregnant .
Farting is not one of the symptoms of being pregnant right away. That is later on. Sounds like you just might be having gas or some acid reflux.

Hi,

I am leaving my name only as [AMS]. I feel like I came to this website to help people that are just as lost as I was at one point in time. My name won't make a difference. I remember thinking that if only I had somebody to share my story with, to tell my secrets to, having somebody I could trust completely without worrying. I never did have that security. I feel as if those things actually were present in my life I wouldn't have made the same mistakes I did with friends, boyfriends, family, drugs, alcohol, school, etc. but we all learn! So lets go on this crazy ride together ;)
