18 - female.
i've liked this guy joe for soo long now, but nothing really ever came of it. we have a lot of fun together still but thats basically all. i never told him i liked him & he never told me but it was pretty obvious for the both of us.

well last night i was with a guy from this hockey team, i guess he is one of the best guys in the state, i was not aware until tonight. anyways i was with my cousin and he was like who were you with last night? and i was like me and kenzie were with peter and brad. and he was like oh my god you know brad? and he was like so many people look up to him you have to date him. i was like woooah i just met him last night but he is really cute. well then he was like i have to tell joe this! joe is one of his best friends. and i was like why?? i just met him! and i think he told joe i was "talking" to him and joe replied and my cousin showed me what he said and joe was like "haha she would."

i don't really know what that means?? but then right after my cousin was like joe wants to know if we want to go to the college baseball game with him and brian. keep in mind joe doesn't really invite me anywhere like that, i haven't seen him for like a month!:( i was thinking .. maybe he is jealous. we didn't end up going but it still makes me kind of happy. it's not like joe to just ask us to go with him, and it was right after my cousin told him i was "talking" to brad. maybe he will start to realize i wont wait around forever for him. i still love the kid, but maybe he'll realize how he really feels about me.

i dont know, maybe i'm just overanalyzing but it just seemed like joe was jealous! because joe plays hockey, and he is good also, and he has played against brad. what do you guys think?? thanks, i'll return the favor!:) (link)
obviously he doesnt care what you think. but just go on for a little while more and you gotta be brave, but you must tell him how you feel


Well i like this guy who is a year older then me and goes to my school and his locker is across from mine , so he smiles at me sometimes so i poked him him on facebook and then inboxed him after a few pokes and said you know, ill win this poke war ;) and then he said
i think your mistaken i will not give up:) so i fed off that and kept talking about that but now i have NO idea what to talk about

plz help! (link)
well. first you wanna make sure he likes you, because he could just be playing around or being nice to you. but if he does, ask him how hes been and talk to him in school. e-mail me at mcgima@live.com, which is hotmail.com

Okay so I want to get to know this guy in my resource class a little better but don't know what to say!! Jus the fact that he makes me nervous proves I'm kinda crushing a little bit!! Ahhh well here's the thing: he's a soohmore I'm a senior, so we only have one class together and that's resource hour. He sits like a row and a half away too so I can't exactly yell from across the room "Heyy! I think your cute and want to get to know you so here's my number if you want to get to know me too!" I can't bring up other homework to talk bout becousr we have no other classes together!!! His friend whom I helped out gave me his number when I told him I was diggin his friend but I've yet to contact him plus my friend says the guy may be gettin a new phone cuz he didn't answer him the last couple times. I guess the question is how do I talk to him and what about?! I jus want to get to know him is all!! Ugh please help!!!! (link)
ok. look sister, if you really wanna get to know him be yourself. of course unless your a total grosso or a loser. lol. just joking. but really, be yourself and let him know you really care, or wanna get to know him. first of all, you should really go talk to him. start off by saying, hey how's it going. then wait for him to answer. he will probably say like, nothin much or somethin like that. then start talking about maybe a previous assignment you have had or about the wheather or how the sports teams are doing. but remember to be casual or ploop. your insta weirdo or worse a stalker. but send a message to mcgima@live.com, which is hotmail.com when you try this out.


WARNING! VERY LONG.
hi. so i know the title is pretty vague, but i don't have a clue on what my situation is. firstly, i put down friendships as my catergory, but it's a lot to do with families and mental health.
so i'll start off by lettin gyou know that i'm clinically depressed. i've always been like this, since i was six. well that's my first memories of it. it's not uncommon, it's genetic. it does rule my life, and i think that if i had friends who were willing to listen to me tell them how to handle me, i'd be fine, despite that fact that i cut myself a lot - not too badly, nothing that would seriously hurt me, don't worry, they're practically scratches. unfortunatley, i don't have any friends. I also don't have family, but i'll explain that later.
I've tried counselling and therapy. i can't stand that soemone who doesn't, and will not ever care about me, is being paid to listen to me. i want a friend who actually genuinely does care about me to listen to me. like i say, i don't have that. i am fully aware of my depression, since i've had a long time to analyse myself. however, it's not just my attitudes to things that need changing. i know i have low self esteem, and tend to think negitavely. but i'm quite smart, and i think i can, and do change that mind set a lot of the time. unfortunatley, my situation really is against me. i'm in a school for people who are a lot smarter than me, and altough i know i'm clever, i feel constantly put down by them. the one person who i talk to most, and i guess by your terms, you could say she's my best friend, though i don't like her very much, even beat me to a scholarship, and though i don't say anything, it hurt me a lot.
Although i'm pretty aware of my mental health, i do tend to shut myself off. i can't help it. i finally got some ounce of courage to ask my GP about it. i already know, but i wanted some medication to make it easier. but she told me i'd ave to have a session with a specialist beofrehand, and i chickend out. i'm a pretty good liar, i have to be, because i get asked if i'm okay a lot by teachers, some even recommending me to therapists, and even when i'm in a doctors office, and am MEANT to talk about it, my defences go up, and i start pretending that i'm fine, causing them to believe me. it's my own damn fault, and i now, and it's killing me.
i know this may all sound really confusing. it's like i want help but am refusing to ask for it.
It's really complicated, i don't htink anyone can understand it, because every type of depression is different.
As well as all that shit, My dad walked out on me and my mom wen i was thriteen. i really can't bring myself to talk to anyone about it. remember i told you about my 'best friend'? well the most i've said to her is that i think my dad is a son of a bitch (which he is.) and my mom is a useless pathetic mess, who i am completely ashamed of. (i didn't tell her the last bit.)
Whenever i get into my lowest points, my mind automatically thinks about this, and all the other crap in my life (WHICH I REFUSE TO TALK ABOUT. IT'S FAR MORE PAINFUL FOR ME TO THINK ABOUT.), it jsut makes it worse.
I sometimesget into theese moods, in whihc my friend calls me a stone wall, because no matter ho ard she pushes, i won't talk or do anything.
I know it sounds like she want to talk to me, but it's hard to expalin. i know she doens't because i can tell se just gets annoyed at me, even when i try to start talking about it. i just got out of a really low point, and tried to tell her i had a bad week, and she just rolls her eyes and asks me that in comparision to starving kids in africa, what do i have to complain about. her mom has cancer, so i know thta everyone has teir own crap. but no on seems to get how hard it is to do this completely by myself.
i don't want to get on about my family, because it hurts a lot, but it's safe to say, i am alone.
i wish my friend could be online or something, so i could try to takl to her again, but not face to face at school, because even thoguh i'm not sad, one of my symptoms of depression is that i start crying randomnly, but i have never cried at school or in front of anyone before, and i would hate to cry in front of her. i want to talk to her, but not face to face. but she's being so stubborn about being on the internet, and i can't explain to her why i need her to do this. it's so impossible because i'm surrounded by people who are inexplicably being to uncooperative, and i hate confrontation and am really defensive, so i tend to always be the one who gets left on the sidelines whilst people argue, and moan. and it really sucks, because recently some of my symptoms ave been getting worse. one of the symptoms thta my GP had to explain to me was physical pain. apparently it's a real pain, but is caused by depression. i used to think i was having a stroke or a heart attack which freaked me out, and no one knew, and i didn't tell my mom or ayone because all i could think was that i must be a freak and relaly unhealthy if i was having a heart attack. turns out they were just a symptom, but it's becoming worse, and more often and i've been having a lot more panic attacks. so i really need to let this out. i thought asking this website would help, but i don't think anyone can do anything. that's okay. i'm used to dealing with things by myself since i was young (Like i said, I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT THIS.), but if you ave an opinon, maybe it might help. Right now, my suicidal impulses are at a low, but i've been on medication, so maybe that's why. please don't say crap like, don't kill yourself or cut yourself, because like i said, i am somewhat intelligent, and i know what i'm doing. just tell me how i can takl to a person. a uman perosn, not a hotline. or if you could just tlk about your own experiences or something. i don't know. i don't know what will help, but anything will do, right now. because i'm scare the pains, and panic attacks will get worse, and i'm running our of medication (not prescribtion) so i don't want things to get worse by then. thanks. sorry this was long.

hey. It may seem like you have it ruff now, but there is always gonna be a bump in the rode and sometimes your gonna get a flat tire. you should for one stop cutting yourself. two just be yourself and if nobody comes to you to be friends, go to them. third, dont try to fit in but find a group you seem most comfortable with. observe them. it will make life alot better. trust me.
