Hey everyone! My name is Kristen, I'm 20 and I'm a college junior studying pharmacy. I've been blessed with a really good life, and part of the reason for that is because I've learned to see GOOD in everything that happens to me. I love giving advice, and I've been told that I do a good job at it, but I'll let you decide! Feel free to ask me anything... don't be shy, that's why I'm here. I've been through a lot... moving from one country to another, leaving and finding new friends, break ups, boys, middle school, high school, college, self esteem issues... pretty much most things that people need help with.
I usually spend a good amount of time answering your questions, so I would really appreciate it if you leave me an honest rating along with some feedback (good or bad!) It really does help me improve my advice... and in the end, that's good for YOU! Talk to ya soon! :)
advice
well the ppl who i thought were my friends always go put and never bother to call me to ever go but then when they need a ride home they always seem to call me cause i can drive i cant stand it what should i do ? should i get new friends and let them know how i ffeel ....Ill rate!!!
Hey!!
Well, I'm sorry to hear about this, and I don't want to jump to conclusions but it is possible that they are using you. It is also possible that they are not doing it on purpose and don't even realize that they are doing it.
If you want to find out what is going on, you can do one of two things. First of all, you can sit down and talk to them and tell them how you feel. Don't accuse anyone or point fingers... be calm, and explain that you feel left out and used. If they understand and begin to call you and include you all the time, then your problem is fixed. If not, then forget about them and find new friends!
If you don't feel like talking to them, then just stop giving them rides. Tell them that gas is too expensive and you don't want to waste so much of it anymore (or if your parents pay for the gas, tell your friends that they won't let you waste as much anymore). If they keep calling you and want to hang out despite the fact that you can't drive them around, then they are true friends. If they disappear and you never hear from them again, it's their loss and your cue to forget them and find friends that will appreciate you!
Whatever you do, don't let them walk all over you... you don't deserve it! There are 250 million people in the United States... if a couple of them can't treat you right, you should have no problem at all finding new friends that will! :)
