Making and keeping friends as an adult


Posted Tuesday October 13 2009, 12:30 am

My mother never really had friends when I was a kid. She just focused on guys and ended up being married 4 times. Now than I'm an adult and married I feel like I'm headed the same way because it seems like I cannot create any sort of friendship with anyone other than my husband.

I feel like I'm behind. Most of the people I know can easily mingle with each other, or have life-long friendships they are involved in. I don't even know how to go about turning an acquaintance into a friend, or what normal friend behavior is considered to be. Can someone give me some advice? I really want to make friends...and have lasting friendships, too!

My best friend is using me!


Posted Saturday October 10 2009, 1:14 am

I have a best friend who always is wanting things from me. My boyfriend told me last night that he thinks she tricks me into it! Last week she said to me, "Can I spend the night at your house this weekend?" and I was really excited and got the OK from my mom. I thought we would have an awesome time, but the entire night she used my computer! The next day I was going job hunting and she said she'd like to tag along for support--but then she started picking up applications for herself and she already has a job! I thought it was kind of messed up.

I don't know though. This week she wanted to spend the night again so we could go dress shopping for the dance coming up. The week before last she wanted to spend the...

lost my best friend. quotes please!


Posted Monday October 5 2009, 5:17 pm

The other day, one of my best friends and I decided not to be friends anymore because we couldn't stop fighting anymore and I also discovered she was talking about me behind my back.

I'm not looking to fix our friendship, because I've realized this girl was not a true friend and I have no interest in having her back. But I would really appreciate if anybody had some quotes about feeling betrayed? Or losing someone close to you that you always thought would be there and could be counted on.

This girl literally knew everything about me, to the point where she could predict my reactions to things. She knew my flaws and problems. Now she's decided that I'm "too much to deal with" and that she is tired of...

Friends don't respect my job


Posted Sunday October 4 2009, 10:03 am

I have 3 best friends that I spend all of my time with. However, I'm the only one that has a job, and they don't respect that. They're always asking me to pay for them, to drive b/c "I have gas money", they always ask me to call in sick to work to hang out with them instead, and they get mad if I don't want to stay out late b/c I have work early in the morning.

I'm not trying to be a party pooper, I just don't want to screw up my job. What should I do? They don't seem to get it when I talk to them about it.

i dont do it for the attention.. its just me!


Posted Sunday October 4 2009, 2:53 am

19..female. i'm a very outgoing girl. i'm very confident in myself but not to the point where i'm cocky, i hate people like that. i just love to have fun. i'm crazy loud and heard to be funny/fun to be around. the problem is..

girls HATE being around me and guys because they feel like i get all the attention and like i'm asking for it. but really, its just how i am. its not my fault that they give me the attention?

for instance..last weekend me my friend and her neighbor went to go see her boyfriend. i was in the back seat and we pulled up to his house and i was like hiii!! and then i was just being gooofy and stuff while my friends neighbor was talking to her boyfriend. i didnt seem to think i was doing anythi...

so my parents are really strict. by my friend is having like 10 girls sleepovver her house the night of her birthday, but before that were just gunna walk around town and stuff until like late. And she told me like 2 weeks ago that her mom said curfew would be at 1230. and then today she asked me if 2 oclock was okay. to which my mom said no obviusly. but since her mom already said 1230 before what changed her mind? so heres what im thinking...

Why do I get along with older people better than people my own age?


Posted Wednesday September 30 2009, 3:39 pm

Why is it that I do better, socially, with people older than me? I'm 20 and almost all of my friends that I talk to are 30 and up. Some are even much older...like in their 60's and 70's. I'm not sure why but I feel like I relate better with them and have better conversations. My time spent with older people is more enjoyable than with those my own age. Is this normal?

My best friend hasn't been acting like a friend. She is always blaming things that I didn't do on me and even blaming them on my mom. I really don't know what to do. We had some great times together, but is it right to let that go?

my so called "best friend"

Okay, this is going to be long and very confusing.....
so yesterday my so called "best friend" katie gave me a lecture about my boyfriend ryan that i have been going out with for a year. She told me that we, ryan and i, both need to move on. Ryan is in college and he has been for about 2 months now, i'm 16 and im a junior in high school. We both can make this long distance relationship a sucess because we see eachother every weekend. But you know, to make a relationship work and be stronger you have to fight. Well, she went off on me because i was telling her about a fight that ryan and i had. something little, meaningless, just a argument. and she went off on me saying "Laura, you need to just break up with him you gu...
