i have a friend that ive been friends with about 4 years and we did everything together. well, i moved about 6 months ago and ever since, we havent really talked...mostly because of me. it just hurt too much to call her knowing i cant see her or anything. i know that sounds crazy but i realize it was wrong now. anyways, she found a new best friend that i dont even know that lives in the same exact apartment complex i USED to live in. my friend is so different now and shes changed SOO much ...she says that since i lost contact with her, she had no choice but to change and meet other people. but, im so depressed about this. can someone please give me advice on what to do? im just so upset. thanks (link)
Let her go. She's obviously moved on and isn't being much of a friend. You need to find some new friends. Join an art class or something.


So, I have this friend, and everyone in our "group" is getting SOOOO annoyed with her! All she does is complain, and when one of us says WOW SHUT UP! she just flips out and walks away. We all love her, best friends and whatnot. But ALL SHE DOES IS WHINE LIKE A BABY!!!! Like about her b/f of almost one year and they haven't made out yet. But most of us think she does it for attention. We don't know how to tell her to stop with out hurting her feelings. and she always always calls someone a b!tch or a wh0re , and everyone is sick of her. What should we do?? (link)
Don't be her friend anymore.


Okay lately I have been feeling a little tied down w/ my boyfriend....and the funny thing is, is that I was the one who wanted him to want me and he did but now all of a sudden I see him as something else, I feel different for him. Not nessecarily friend but.... Like I just don't think he's boyfriend material...He absolutely HATES calling people so he won't call me to talk or whatever on the days we don't see each other but oh, he'll talk on the phone for hours if someone calls him. So it hurts me and feels like he really doesn't care after all he is like obsessive compulsive of me...he says he loves me soo much and w.e and all that garbage. but I also fell head of heels for this guy that is 1 yr. younger than me and pays more attention to me and has a better personality. I find myself thinking about him more than my boyfriend...I just don't know what to do...Do I break it off with my boyfriend and start a relationship with mr. personality. Or wait things out and see how it goes??
thanks in advance & 4 reading this

It's simple. You're just not that into your current bf so dump his hypocritical butt and try dating the younger guy see how it goes and all of that.


i have asthma and i wanna start smoking cigarettes *kinda depressed* but yah.. i don't wanna die from it lol.. but you'd think i'd be getting used to it bc my sister smokes everyday on the way to and from school.. soo ya.. would it be that big of a harm to me? if ur gonna lecture on how bad smoking is.. then dont answer (link)
If it was legal, I'd slap you upside the head. But it's not, so I'll just offer you some advice. If you're really depressed, go see a doctor, they'll tell you options. If you start smoking, you might not die right away, but you will eventually. Asthma + smoking = 0


okay, so i have this friend, and she cuts herself. it really scares me, because one time she cut so deep that it wouldnt stop for a while. her dad abuses her, and she doesnt get along with her mom very well. her boyfriend went away for spring break and she misses him a lot. she cut herself again because she thinks her life is so fucked up, and she thinks she should die. i really want to help her, but i dont know what to do. please help!!!

Take your friend to the doctor, she needs medical attention first and foremost. It sounds like she is really depressed and counselling alone probably won't help it, but maybe a combo of counselling and the correct meds will do. There are a lot more f'ed up lives than that, she shouldn't kill herself, that is just really selfish and stupid.

Child protection services and 911 should be called.
This sounds really bad.


I'd appreciate some direct ways to say something to my bf of over a year.

we'd been talking and he needed a float loan of $800 for a few days to help with a mortgage approval. that is ok. but when he called about it, i mentioned the fact that one of my friends saw his updated ad on match.com, that it hurt my feelings, he knows it hurts my feelings, i care about him a great deal, and i thought we were over and done with that BS months ago. His reply was... can we talk later? can I call you later? I said 'are you gonna call me later?' and he said yes. I said ok and we hung up. I know his style and he'll probably test the waters in a few days and then never mention it again.

Guys... just help me say no more, clearly in a way that he doesn't just shut down. Thanks.
ps... me f/39 and him m/35 (link)
He's a big boy acting like a kid. If he has financial problems and he's wishy washy with your relationship, that's just too bad. He'll test the waters? Time to say bye-bye.
