Q: well alot of my friends come to me for advice and help with their problems. i usually dont mind helping other people out because im good at it, but it seems like no one ever asksme or cares about wahts going on with me. like today i was in such a bad (sad) mood and all these people kept asking me for advice and it was just hard to deal. and so i would not talk as much as usual, then they'd ask if i were mad at them, i'd say no i'm just in a bad mood, and they'd continue to talk about themselves and not even ask why or care. and then there's this guy and i used to kinda like him but now i dont and all he ever does is ask me for advice with this one girl and it still kinda hurts. i just dont know what to do,

telling the truth i am very much like in your condition...so i cant answer your question...though you are asking the question i request you please tell me what action you take....

Q: ok my best friend's birthday was on friday. for her birthday, she went to the movies with her other best friend( my xbest friend) and she spent the night at her house, yaddayaddaydadda
well my problum is, my friend barely even TALKED to me durring the weekend.
whenever shes around her other friend, she doesnt really talk to me too much, either.
also, for her birthday, her other friend baked her cookies and made her a card with a picture of her and pictures of all of her friends around it(my picture was mysteryously hard to reconize and a dark gray color) and i only had time to give my friend a cherry-cream filled hershy's kiss.
my point is, i dont want my friend to think her other friend cares more about her than i do, and i dont know how to show her that that isnt true. could some of you please give me some advice?
thanx much xoxo

i too going through exactly the same problem..cant advice you much just suggest what i am doing for that... i am just helping her in whatever way possible but not expecting any thing of her... just doing a selfless service hoping that she would realise my importance... try this if you wish to... keep me informed if it works...

Q: im a girl im 13.i grew up with all brothers and only boy cousins.im very rough w/ every1.i have mainly guy friends.ive never had a bf.i just really wana bf.but im ''one of the guys''.they dont think of me as girlfriend material.yes i wear really baggy pants but tight shirts.i snowboard.i wana bethought of as more girly. ~help me~

its really ok if you are a tomboy, you really dont need to change.. personally speaking i myself like sporty girls... you do not change only for someone to like you... remember your true beauty lies within you... you will definitely get some guy who really cares for you and loves the way you are but only at the right time... so wait till you get that one lucky person

Q: Well, my problem is that I can't let myself get close to anyone really emotionly. I feel like a put up a sheild to hide who I really am. I want to know how I might be able to let myself express me for who I really am. And this also affects me being able to get close to anyone in a relationship sort of way.

Any Ideas?

well first of all this is not a problem, not opening to anyone is not a problem, it is a privilege.

if you see this situation in this way that if you open up your personal feelings and thought to anyone, you are giving the person the power to hurt you and also control your life...

humans always want to disclose their thoughts to some particular person not realising that if the person is trust worthy... even if one feels that the other person is trust worthy, you do not know if he/she takes you seriously or not... he/she may not realise the importance of your feelings and might make fun of it in public and that might hurt you...

i feel this is a very good quality, there is always a need to keep some things to your self. its better to remain a bit mysterious....

i dont know about your 'age,gender and the situation that you are in' that might help me to answer your question a better...
if you can provide this info and tell me a bit more about you i will be able to answer your question better...

Q: I have alot of friends, but not alot of best freinds..people i wuld consider bffs. ANyways, i'll be talking to one freind and then another one will come and we'd all be talking, then the 2 would have to go to there lockers and would meet me at class or lunch soon, but i have a huge feeling in my gut they are now talking shit about me at there lockers. do you think they r or do u think that im being paranoid. becuase at times i feel they are since they are SOMETIMES during some convos before they go to' there lockers on each odd day b4 lunch, they sometimes say when i say outrageous things "your so weirdd *giggles alittle*". it seems after they leave that they are saying like 'omg shes so annoying. wowww"

PLEASE HELP!

you haven,t specified your gender... how ever i believe you are a female..

A little while earlier i also used to think like this...this a common feeling among ppl...basic thing i found was that i was lacking self confidence... may be you are also passing through the same phase... all you need to do is have confidence in urself, believe in yourself and let the dogs bark... recognise ur positives and make a clear picture of yourself in your mind...

remember that however and how much you try you will come across many personal comments like these... just dont give any importance to these things...

also there might be times that what you feel is not exactly the same... so dont go by the gut that the guy says bad about... however if he really does so he is not worth your friendship...best of luck
