advice

whenever im around people that i dont usually hang out with like new people, i usually get shy.. this always happens so now i am known as the shy girl.. any tips that would help me to get unshy? i have tried to start conversations but sometimes i have nothing to say. and i have always tried to be myself too

Hi! I'm PurplePudgyPenguin and I-! ... My name is a mouthful, and PPP sounds funny. Sounds like peepee with an extra pee in there. t hehe, pee...

Sorry! Anyways, I'll be your advice giver today! Now, down to business.. *clears throat all professionally*

You completely remind me of me. I'm always shy around new people. I tend to look down when they talk to me, and I'm never one to add my opinion. In this case, I really need to listen up too (even though I don't mind the shygirl label, people leave you at peace a whole lot more ^.^). It sounds like you just need to open up a bit more. When meeting a new person, don't just give them a simple 'hi' or 'how are you?' ask them more complex questions. Act like you're really curious about them. Ask them their age, if not obvious or informed previously, or where they come from. Note: Don't ask them these things if you've already been told them. There are other questions out there to pick from. Just open up around people more. But as previously stated, don't overdo it so you're not you. Giving up your behavior and the way you act and even your posture can change what makes you you. Be careful not to get hyper or anything, I've ruined my chances with a couple people because I was hyped up on like 20 nerd's ropes and laffy taffys. *Nods*

That's honestly the best I can do for you right now. I'm in a brainfart stage. I'm sorry if the advice I've given to you hasn't been of your liking and/or approval. You've got a bunch of others to choose from. Remember advice is just an opinion and suggestion hybrid. Something I like to call a suggion! Sounds like a fish... t hehe. But anyways, there are other AGs out there who would love to help you out. I do hope I provided some assistance in your problem. Take care!

Ok well me and my best friend[friend A] got in a huge fight and she told another one of my friends[friend b] some things that i told her because i was mad and now Friend b is going around trying to get everyone to hate me and truthfuly im not sad that were not friends anymore but i really dont want everyone to hate me.

And friend A and i have been tight sence like kindergarten and like i finally got sick of her ditching me so im not sad about that either but is it wrong of me to de-friend someone for ditching me??

Hola Comrade! ... My stupid way of saying "Hi! I'm PurplePudgyPenguin!" and I'm here to give advice!
You: -_- duh..
PPP: t hehehe ^^

Alright! Down to busynuss! Okay then, your main question here I'm afraid can't really be answered. I can give you my opinion, but not a straight yes/no theory. It'd also depend on the situation. It seems like this friend and you have always been great together. You seem to really understand one another but for some reason, when she keeps ditching you, you seem to grow apart. My answer is: No, you shouldn't just drop friendship like that. If I were you (which I'm not. Remember, advice is just a fancy word for 'suggestion') I'd sit friend A down and talk long and hard with her. Tell her that she's making you sad, that you do want to be friends with her but she constantly ditches you and leaves you feeling pretty terrible. Tell her how much it hurts and try to work out some kind of solution. Maybe if you open her eyes, she might change her ways and return to your side. That would also be of use in friend B situation. If friend A befriends you once more, she may confess to friend B what she said. An apology would follow and you'd have both friends back. However, this is entirely up to you. I'm simply putting myself in your situation and doing what I would think would be right. You don't have to do this if you feel uncomfortable or simply want to end both friendships. Remember, these are SUGGESTIONS.

Oh gosh... I'm kind of lazy today and I'm tired. But I did try to answer this question to the greatest of my corny abilities. (Yep, they're corny. *Puts abilities on fire* POPCORN!) If you're unsatisfied, or just plain angry with how I answered, there are thousands of other AGs ready to give you even better advice. I do hope I helped. Take care!

my best friends birthday is coming up, and i have not idea what to get her. the thing is, that i usually get my friends 20 dollars and vice versa. but she got me somereally nice, and it cost a lot of money. she got me a heart shaped picture frame with a picture of me and her in it, with my name ingraved, and the date and it was 80 dollars..

So far I'm giving her a Geauga lake ticket, and the next day shes going with me to geauga lake.

Any ideas that i can give her that are nice, yet not super expensive?

Oh! Oh! Oh! I love these questions!! Horray! I'm PurplePudgyPenguin by the way! I'm going to answer your question!
Random person: O.O; obviously...
PPP: :( aw.

Anyways! I can think of a few ideas on what to get her. They're small and don't cost much at all. But the thought does count. Trust me, it does. (I have to tell a story. Can I?! Yay! Okay, it was christmas time and my boyfriend isn't the greatest at saving his money or managing it {Ha ha! He'd kill me if he caught me telling you this} [Oh and I gotta admit I expected something big but... ya!] and he gave me this box. I opened it and there wasn't anything in it. I was so confused, and I thought he hated me. I was close to crying {I cry easily. Yeah.} but then he threw himself on me and gave me this huge hug. He told me it was something he would never be able to fit in a box. And he gave me the sweetest, best kiss I have ever had. It was so romantic and it only cost like 5 cents. ^_^ I loved it! ... Okay! Story done!) But anyways, I'll give you a list of things that would be sweet, inexpensive, and from your heart. But keep in mind, these are mere suggestions. Don't follow down the list and do everything like an instruction manual. I'm 16, don't follow what I say. *Girly giggle*

1) Oh my personal favorite, a construction paper card. It's cute, it's sweet, it comes from the heart. No one can resist the vast amount of glue, glitter, paper, and googly eyes on a poorly cut out penguin (Story to that but I'll bore you).
2) A mix tape! They rock. I love them so much when I get them. Record a few songs, burn some on CD that you like and that she likes. Listen to them in the car and smile at each other.
3) A teddy bear!!! Omg! I love stuffed animals. Your girl's probably not as girly and corny as me but I love anything fuzzy and fluffy. And she might too. I recommend Build-A-Bear for this. Liek build one of you or one of her. Or both!
4) DJ record. This is new to me so I can't fill in all the details. It kind of goes to the mix tape idea, only your voice is on it. Parts go in like "Hey I love you!" or just you talking about nothing.
5) A dinner. Either you at her house, her at your house, or just going out to eat. Recommendation: No MccyD's. Girls don't like McDonalds. Trust me. (Story! ... I'll stop ^^)
6) Like my story, get her a hug. It's sweet, it's simple, and it's the most expensive thing you could ever give her. Because it's worth more than diamonds or jewelry or gold. Okay that was cheesy but it'll mean a lot.

The list isn't that great, and I can't come up with much else. Sorry, this kind of stunk since I'm on a brainfart. I'm sorry if I didn't help much or just plain confused you (*Hyper tonight*). I wish you the best of luck!! By the way, you're a great friend if you go through all this trouble to buy her something special. Don't worry one bit. It isn't how expensive the gift is, it depends on how much love you put into it. If you didn't like the advice, just ask away to another advisor. We've got thousands of them at advicenators. Trust me. It's like battle for answering questions. ^_^ They're good though, and can kick what I said in the fanny. Take care!!!!!

Hello there! My name's PurplePudgyPenguin and I'll... O.O I just realized how ridiculous my name sounds... ANYWAYS! And I'll be your advice-giver for the evening! (I think. It is for me anyways)

Alright, down to business. I don't know what to really tell you here. I have the same problem actually with one of my friends. Only she doesn't want to move away or anything. She's only 15... But you're absolutely right. Friends are more important than boyfriends. Boyfriends last only a while, since you said yourself she's with a new one all the time. Friends are people you love and cherish more than anything else in the world. Maybe, this new guy she's with is the one. And I'm not saying he is, cause if he wants her to leave her friend behind he's definately not what I'd call "mr. right" but that's just my opinion. Honestly, I'd just sit back, let her move, count down the days, and await her return. I don't think she's going to last very long with this new guy. Give it a few weeks, a month at the most. If she hasn't either called you, wrote you, emailed you, or come back WITH a complaint about him, you should go up and visit her. Tell her how badly you feel. Express yourself openly. Say that you love her (not love love but like love as a friend love and... nevermind! I think you got it the first time ^^; ), and that it hurts when she leaves to go with another guy. Make her see it through your eyes. If she still stays, that doesn't mean you just stop the friendship all-together. Keep in touch with her. It may be hard with the distance, but friendship can grow that way.

I really hope I helped, and this answer is kind of short and crummy *pokes it with her magic spork*. But all the same I do hope I provided some assistance. If not, there are thousands of other AGs who can completely kick my advice in the buttocks (What a silly word. Buttocks. Teeheehee *cough, cough* sorry ^^). I really, really hope I helped.
