I'm unable to be emotionally vulnerable around my parents... or anyone?
Posted Friday April 8 2022, 6:58 pm
My parents are so out of touch with healthy emotional control. They constantly invalidate my emotions about literally everything and tell me "I'm being dramatic," or when it devolves into an argument, "You're psycho." I can't confide in my mom, ever, and I've long since learned my lesson about that. I haven't told her something real about my life in years. However, I thought that my dad was at least a little more understanding. That changed, quickly. Even something small, like me saying "I'm bad at history, so I'm really proud that I got a good grade in APUSH this term" (yeah, I have to say that to myself because my parents would never say that to me, they don't even understand that people can just be bad at so...

Why is he like this?
Posted Sunday April 3 2022, 7:20 pm
I have a guy that I have liked for quite some time and I think he's a bit of a jerk then I'm confused about what to think about him. In person he seems to like being around me or sometimes finds ways to be near me. We don't talk much. He might be autistic but I'm okay with that. A few years ago I overheard him saying he thought I was hot to one of my friends and it gave me some hope about him lol. I'm in my 30's and he is in his late 20's. I tried reaching out to him via message and he has ignored me. I also asked for private dance lessons from him and he felt fattered and suggested someone else. Overall I'm trying to make friends with him. Today I reached out to him trying to invite him to a group and he never messaged me about it. SO ag...

I fell in love with my best friend, confessed to her and now I need help. (We're both girls)
Posted Monday March 14 2022, 3:28 pm
(English is not my first language)
Hi. Me and my best friend are both girls, we are both 19 and we both like girls. We've known each other for 5 years now and we were always close since we first met. We just hit it off, you know? We felt this strong connection towards one another like we've never felt before with anyone else. It was a friendship that felt like home. So, we were always close but in 2020 we got closer and that's when I fell for her (it would be weird if I didn't), but I only got the courage to tell her my feelings this year, mostly because this year she is going to go abroad to study in Canada for 2 years and maybe she won't ever come back to our country. And so I told her, I was afraid she would want to stop tal...

Saying "maybe" to boyfriend's proposal
Posted Wednesday March 9 2022, 6:25 pm
My boyfriend Drew proposed marriage on a romantic camping trip about 2 months ago. I panicked and said I would have to “think about it.” He was gracious and said he would keep the ring in his pocket until I was ready to decide and said he respected my need to consider my options.
Even though he was classy about it, I felt rotten to see the totally crushed look on his face when he obviously thought I would say “yes” immediately. He tried to be brave and composed but you can just tell it was like I had mortally wounded him.
He has been somewhat depressed ever since, even though he tries to hide it and act upbeat and positive on the surface. He smiles and laughs sometimes, but it is a forced laugh and there is a s...

My ex left me with hsv 2 and I just found out, what do I do?
Posted Tuesday February 22 2022, 7:24 pm
female 22 years old.
I recently changed primary care doctors and they had me do a bunch of blood tests. Today I went ahead and took it upon myself to look at the results. Everything was fine until I saw I tested positive for HSV 2 and I've never been in such a bad mental state. I've only had one partner in my life and we have a daughter together. He is a deadbeat and cheater. I will never get to experience a normal sex life again. The last time I had sex with him was almost 5 years ago. I have. been abstaining from sex for so many years and when I feel ready to find a partner I find this out. I feel beyond disgusting:( What am I suppose to do now?

More From Miguel on Foster Family
Posted Tuesday February 22 2022, 6:33 pm
Dr. Stephanie:
You said to try again and that I wrote too much and I agree it was very very long. Thank you for offering to help with your advice. So my basic question is do I tell my foster parents that I do not speak Spanish and that I am not all that interested in doing special family activities related to Latino culture? If I should say something, how do I do it without hurting their feelings or making them feel foolish for trying to do something nice to make me feel special and respecting my background. I hope that is simple enough. I will add that I do know Shawn and Sarah were wanting to adopt a baby and they have to foster so many kids to sort of be considered for that. I may just be practice for them, but I hope...

My parents say I can't begin social transitioning
Posted Monday February 21 2022, 12:42 pm
Last night, I admitted to my parents that I think I might be trans and that I want to socially transition. Y'know, spend a year living as a boy (I was assigned girl at birth) in order to be sure. I understand that taking hormones or undergoing surgery is a huge step, so I want to be certain before I do something that might be irreversible.
My parents didn't take the news as well as I'd hoped and told me they don't want me living as a boy. I just turned seventeen and have another year to go before I can move out on my own and live however I like. I really don't want to have to wait that long though. Any advice on how I might convince my parents to let me begin social transitioning now?

i feel alone and overwhlemed because of my food addiction
Posted Sunday February 20 2022, 10:42 am
Hello, I'm a 13 year who constantly indulges in food as long as I'm craving them. multiple times I've tried to instantly quit eating bwetween meals and tried to swap them for things like fruits but I always go back to square one. I've brought this issue up with my parents that they should buy less junk food because it's always a source of temptation for me. but all i was told by my mum was to "control" myself. but thats not really helping me anymore. I end up suffering in silence on days when it gets really bad. I ALSO struggle with being short in height and also my weight which does not help at all.
Is there any solutions?
is there anyone in the same boat as me?

Exposed someone to an incurable STD
Posted Saturday February 19 2022, 1:04 pm
Male/25 from Nigeria , I got diagnosed with hsv-2 (genital herpes) six months ago and that was my first time of having sex, after the diagnosis I was depressed, I hated myself, and the person that infected me, (I told the said girl I had sex with, and she denied) but I'm sure it was her that infected me, because I had not have sex with anyone else besides her. but over the last two months I've let go of some of the hurt and pains.... But about a week ago I made a very big mistake! which I regret and I'm literally having sleepless night. I slept with a girl without telling her about my condition. it wasn't planned at all and I was having an outbreak(the time that the disease is easily transferred to someone) I used condom but the condom brok...

im stuck living with my narcissistic mother
Posted Friday February 18 2022, 5:17 am
I'm 23 years old and still live with my parents.
I don't have a job at the moment & am unable to financially support myself until I do. Following that, I have various mental illness including a decade long eating disorder (my weight is currently sitting at 85 lbs) making it extremely difficult to function physically and mentally. I've been diagnosed with ADHD since childhood and I am struggling to go out to places without someone with me, usually my mother. I can't drive alone, but I have a license.
Though not diagnosed, I believe I have some form of paranoia as well. For example, if I'm at the mall and my mother says she has to go to the bathroom. After a couple of minutes being alone, the intense feelin...

foster parents nice but awkward
Posted Thursday February 17 2022, 4:12 pm
Hello smart people. I need to have some advice. I understand not to use real names so I will use middle names. Me = Miguel. Foster Dad = Shawn. Foster Mom = Sarah. Foster Brother = Patrick. I have been living with this family for 14 months now. I am 13 and in eighth grade and Patrick is 14 and is a freshman in high school. OK, so those are the people in the story.
I have been living with this foster family for 14 months. They have been the best foster family I have ever had. When I was assigned to them I was very angry and rude and acting out. They did not know what to do with me. One day I said some horrible things to Sarah which I will not repeat and she cried and Patrick got so mad he was shaking and wanted to kill me...

shaving my underarms for girlfriend
Posted Monday February 14 2022, 3:58 pm
I don’t know if there is a contest for weirdest question but I feel mine might qualify to be in the contest. My big question is about whether or not to keep my underarms shaved or to let the hair grow back to natural. I am a 14 year old guy in high school. My girlfriend is 16 years old and amazingly beautiful and way smarter than me and a funny sense of humor. I did a dare where I let my girlfriend and her friend shave my underarms in a video to prove I was in support of women who had to shave there when guys don’t have to do it. I was trying to be in support of women’s rights but I found out from her later that was just an excuse to prank me and I fell for it. I guess it was funny. I say it shows I will literally do anything to k...

How Do I Adapt To Hazing In ROTC Unit
Posted Friday February 11 2022, 9:36 am
I need interpersonal relations advice about how to be a good sport and fit in with the Navy midshipmen in my ROTC program. They are hazing me in what I consider a mostly harmless and somewhat humorous way, but I secretly am sort of getting a little bummed out about it and just wish there was a way I could be more accepted in the group.
For background, I am a 19M and I am Marine cadet in ROTC. I will owe the Corps a term of service after I graduate college in exchange for scholarships and financial aid during my undergraduate course of study. I will also be commissioned as a Marine officer once I complete officer candidate training.
I was assigned to a Navy ROTC unit because there is a history of the Marines being a part of the...

Physical Relationship With Adult Female Boss
Posted Monday February 7 2022, 2:59 pm
I have a question about how to handle something that could be awkward. It is not a crisis right now, but it is something I am thinking about and wondering how to handle it when it comes up in the future.
I am 16M. I am having a consensual sexual relationship with my female supervisor at work. She is older than me at 26. I am a dishwasher at a restaurant and she is an assistant manager in charge of my shift. After we started being physical she made sure my two shifts each week are for the closing shift when she works (which is fine with me).
It all started when she found out I lied about my age on my job application. I was actually 15 when I started. I am trying to save money to get a car. Still working on that. She ...
