Rethinking what I want from life and feeling lost?


Posted Tuesday March 28 2017, 3:01 pm

I'm a Sophomore in college and I feel like it's taking me way too long to graduate. I was told I can graduate in 3 years, but every semester it seems like it's taking longer and longer. I'm now looking at 4-5 years and I'm only in my second year and feeling burnt out. It's not because I'm failing classes or anything, it's all the extra courses I have to take that have nothing to do with my degree. Now I'm being told that I'm going to need my Masters on top of my bachelors to get anywhere (Healthcare Management).

I really want to travel to other countries teaching English, but I don't know how realistic that is.

I'm also tired of dating, none of the boys in my age range take life seriously and other than one r...

Is this normal or OK?


Posted Wednesday March 15 2017, 5:43 pm

Hello, this is kind of an awkward question. So me and my friend are in the 9th grade and we were doing homework in my room and she fell asleep on the bed. But her feet were sticking out, so her feet were on top of the desk and they happened to be right on my notebook. I didn't want to wake her up so I just kept working with her feet in my face lol, but her toes kept wiggling a lot so I got distracted and started playing around with them.

for example I pushed her toes a few times and they would start wiggling by themselves. Then I would hold her toes still to make them stop wiggling. so I did this whenever I wanted her toes to start wiggling lol. Then I turned on the radio to see what happens, and when I pushed her toes they ...

Should I keep up this once-a-week friendship or should I move on?


Posted Thursday March 9 2017, 9:40 pm

So this is my story, (I tried to condense it at the end if you don’t want to read it all):
I’m kinda friends with this guy from school. (I’m a junior girl, he’s a senior.) He’s nice and friends with a lot of people. My problem is that I’ve kinda been friends with him for a while, and we’ve had our ups and downs, but now we’ve reached a plateau.
Once a week almost every week, I get together with some friends and he’s there too. Those days, I have so much fun with my friends and with him. However, the rest of the week, me and him act like strangers and avoid each other. It’s because of me.
You see, he’s really good friends with people who I hate and who hate me. I’m okay with that, he can be friend...

dont want to be replaced


Posted Wednesday March 1 2017, 8:23 am

Why do middle aged women feel the need to flirt with young men around me


Posted Tuesday February 21 2017, 10:54 pm

It really bothers me when middle aged women who I admire, look up to, and feel nurtured by feel the need to flirt with and outpour their attention to young men my age (I am 24/f). It's not even that I want to "get in on the competition", as I wouldn't even go for the boys in my school because they are annoying and crass. Actually, I'm more jealous that these female friends are giving THEM the attention and not me (it's not jealousy in a romantic way, but a mother figure way). So why do these women who are my dear friends, mentors, and teachers feel the need to prove that they have the ability to flirt with young men around me? By the way, I'm pretty virginal and inexperienced and don't have a flirty personality, actually the oppo...

i am doomed


Posted Thursday February 16 2017, 9:46 am

so basically friend A told me that friend B told her that I talked shit behind her, which I didn't, and it's actually B that talked shit about A and I just listened.
It all started when friend A accused B because A said that friend C said something about B. B then dragged me down too and say that I talked shit about A. Now I admit that I was there when B was trash talking about A but I never did talk shit about A, i was the one who changes the topic because I dont want drama. Although A said that she still trusts me, I believe that things are still quite awkward between us, and I don't know about friend B, i mean she just dragged me down when I really trusted them BOTH and I just didn't know she would say something like that.

Not having the college experience?


Posted Sunday February 12 2017, 5:04 pm

My first year of university is almost over and I'd have to say I didn't even have what you can say a college experience, I didn't get to live on campus (which I regret not doing), I only went to three out of the ten freshmen orientation days so all the friends I've made on there forgot who I am (I know this because I've added them on Facebook and to this day none of them accepted by their profile pics always change). I don't get to stay on campus past 6:30 cause my parents say it's not safe, my school is known as the rape school but it's my mom that forced me to go there cause it's close to home. Anyways during my first year if you've seen my previous questions I've been complaining about not having any friends and I've learned to accept it...

My best friend is always starting fights


Posted Sunday January 29 2017, 10:46 pm

so last year I met my best friend and we got closer over the summer. But when school started, she was always getting mad at me. Like when we had running club, and i cut my foot, she got mad at me for not running. We ended up not talking for several days. We then got over it and were fine for a couple of weeks. It got worse and worse and she was getting mad at me for really simple things. Well last week she got mad at me for staying home from school because of an asthma attack. On Monday she ended our friendship, but then the next day I wasn't really talking to her and she asked me why i was acting weird. I finally realized how she really is because shes always hurting me and making me cry. I just don't want to end our friendship because she...

why is it so hard to make friends?

All my life i have always felt like the second or backup option. Now that high school is over and im in university ive tried and tried to make friends but they all end up just being classmates meaning after the class is done they have their group of friends to go to.

Should i cut this person off?


Posted Monday January 16 2017, 9:49 pm

So i have a friend and to be honest we were never really friends to begin with. I would say i was closer to her mom than her because her mom actually knew stuff about me while she didnt bother. So basically i have this friend lets call her Kim, kim and i became friends in grade 10 and then hungout in the summer time. When grade 11 hit kim got a boyfriend and thats when our friendship changed forever, kim would always talk about her boyfriend 24/7 and if he wasnt the topic of the convo she wasnt interested. She would only call me on the phone to talk about him or finally acknowledge me when they got in a fight and would cry on the phone and rant to me. So grade 12 comes and they finally break up and i thought the old Kim would come back, wro...

My friend is super lucky?


Posted Thursday January 12 2017, 8:04 pm

My friend is super lucky. Her parents make a lot of money, she always gets to buy merchandise for her favorite youtubers and so on. She has a nice, cool, older sister, who has the same tastes as her, and is amazing at art. She gets to go to concerts, and I remember complaining that a musical I ABSOLUTELY love is expensive, but I really want to go, and she's going later this month. She has a dog, a cat, and a hamster. She's super pretty, and has a lot of friends, and all the boys like her. I love her to death, she's my best friend, funny and kind and sarcastic and mean but in a loving way. I need help.

How long did it take for you to make friends in College/University?


Posted Tuesday January 3 2017, 11:17 pm

It's about to be my second semester and I still haven't made any friends and it's starting to really effect my mental health. I went to my schools orientation week long story short thanks to my strict parents I only went to 3 of the 10 days so all the friendships I made failed because I basically just disappeared. Then school started in all my classes nobody really talks because they're so focused on the lectures so it's hard to make friends in classes. The friends I did make though are only classmates, we always sit together but none of us know each other's names and I'm pretty sure once the course is over (full year) we'll never talk to each other again, I've tried telling them my name multiple times but they don't really care. I wanted t...

Loneliness in college?


Posted Friday December 30 2016, 2:46 am

Even though there's so many people I always feel so alone whenever I go to school. So being an introvert in high school I didn't really have any friends I mostly had acquaintances and the friends I did have we would only text about school but now that we don't go to the same school anymore they don't text me to see how I'm doing because why bother? (I'm usually the one to text them first if I don't text them I won't hear from the at all) so fast foreword, since I knew I didn't really have any friends I decided to go to my schools orientation week to make some friends because I've heard from previous students they met their best friends in orientation week. Long story short thanks to my over protective parents I only got to go to 3 of the 10...

My friend betrayed me


Posted Wednesday December 21 2016, 6:26 pm

Ive had this friend for over a year and I consider her one of my best friends. She brings out the best person in me and I love that about her. She sleeps at my house every weekend and we talk and snapchat all the time. We have never been annoyed with each other and never got into a fight or anything. We have different taste in men which even makes our friendship even better. I suffer from depression and anxiety and she knows this but she didn't know me when I was in my manic stage. Basically. I was talking to this guy for about a month, texting, snapchatting, facetiming and I was really into him and he seemed into me. We hung out one day and we basically did everything besides have sex. After we hung out he said it was okay and my best frie...

Worried and Paranoid


Posted Saturday December 17 2016, 12:28 am

Hello, I have a friend who I made two years back, and she tried committing suicide today. From what I know she's fine but now I'm plagued by other worries. I'm afraid she isn't stable and I've let her quite a lot into my life. She's told me things like that she's had boyfriends that abused her and other stuff like that that I used to doubt were true but I just kind of ignored it. But now I'm worried that she could try something against me or to my family or something. I just feel like I was very stupid to let her into my life that much. I don't know for certain whether or not her stories are true or not but I'm genuinely scared now that I might've put my trust in someone dangerous. I feel like crying because I don't what to do. I'm even getting stomached because of the worry.

I have relationship issues?


Posted Sunday December 11 2016, 9:33 am

Any relationship in general I don't know what's wrong with me but I can't let anyone close, ever since I was younger I would build a wall up. I remember having a bestfriend in elementary school and in the 4th grade we had to to write down who our bestfriends were, she wrote my name down and I knew she was my best friend but I ended up putting an acquaintance from my soccers team name down. I don't know why I did that, so in high school I have a new friend that I'm really close to someone asked us who my bestfriend was that friend said "me right?" And I said "no I don't I have a bestfriend" I could see the disappointment in her face but she quickly saved it and said this other girl was her bestfriend. Now I wish I had a b...
