Stressed About Things With My Friend


Posted Wednesday September 7 2016, 9:44 am

Me - 25/F
Friend - 23/M

This might make me sound very childish and immature. That reasoning is why I am posting this question online, where I can be anonymous. As you can tell, I have a very over-analytical and I over think things all the time.

I have a friend who I know from college. We became friendly while working on a group project together, and we both graduated in May.

Last semester, we were both really busy and none of the same classes together, so we very seldom had a chance to talk to each other.

The two of us were both taking over 20 credits at that point. When we saw each other, we would always make an effort to talk to each other. During the times that I saw him...

Do I Like Him More Than A Friend?


Posted Friday September 2 2016, 3:23 pm

I have a male friend I have known for the past 16 years of my life and I tell him everything and I love him but not in a romantic way but whenever we meet up for lunch or coffee I always start feeling a little nervous around him and five minutes or so after meeting him that goes away. He and I have tried dating a few times in the past but I felt like it would be better if we stayed friends as I just wasn't feeling it but I still have the nervous feeling when I see himy and feel like I need to put a little extra effort in to looking good for him or subtly flirting with him when I feel sure I don't like him in that way.

What can I do? I know there is a chance he still has feelings for me (he told me years ago he liked me romant...

Talking to a man online (14 yrs)


Posted Thursday September 1 2016, 12:26 pm

I'm 14 years old, and I got my first phone when I was 12. I had secretly been going on a chatroom every night on my phone without my mom knowing. On there, I met a man who was 22 at the time and we chatted a bit- nothing sexual or romantic- but then we started talking every single night and we'd talk until the wee hours of the morning. I realized I had developed a crush on him and he said he kind of liked me like that too. By then we had been talking for a few months. So then he said he felt wrong and creepy about it and didn't want to talk anymore because he was afraid he was going to become a pedophile, but I loved talking to him, so I talked him into staying. That happened a few more times until I became 14 and I think he felt a little b...

writing letters


Posted Wednesday August 31 2016, 8:11 pm

So my 4 best friends and I are going off to university this week. Tomorrow night we are getting together and giving each other letters.

I need to write a letter for each of my best friends with like memories and what I like about them and stuff.

I have no idea how to go about doing this. I am really not very good with words (but I can't draw either so that's not a viable alternative). Like I can form sentences but I just don't know what to say. My brain doesn't like to mix words and emotions...

Any help of any kind is welcome! Thanks

Best friend drifting apart


Posted Monday August 29 2016, 2:31 am

16, female.

So I had this best friend and this year we have been in a different class. I am from Australia so here the school year starts at the beginning of the year. Meaning we have been in a different class since the beginning of the year.

We are in the same friend group, and we are all close friends but her and I (I'll call her Emma), were closer than we were with the others. She was my best friend and I was hers.

One of our other friends who is in her class now is best friends with her, and they do everything together. At recess our whole group sits together and they would always leave to go somewhere else or go to the bathroom to put on eyeshadow.

The girl that she is now ...

I'm bad at social interaction.


Posted Sunday August 28 2016, 10:56 pm

I'm a 7th grade girl, and I am absolutely terrible at social interaction. What I believe to be setting me apart from others is my intelligence. Although I may sound extraordinarily arrogant in saying so, I am much, much smarter than most. I have a genius IQ, and aced the English TCAP in 5th grade and the math TCAP last year (scoring at 99% or 98% in all other classes). I had a final grade of 100% on my report card in science, and I was selected for numerous intellectual contests (not all of which I participated in).

My intelligence creates a barrier between myself and the outside world because I find difficulty in understanding how others feel (either emotionally or as in not understanding things that I deem to be quite sim...

Best Friend putting Boyfriend first


Posted Saturday August 27 2016, 6:12 pm

16f
So she got this new boyfriend - her first may I add - and never stopped talking about him for the first week. 3 days after he asked her out, he was referred to as her boyfriend even though they hadn't been on a date or kissed yet.

Despite me changing the subject every time she brings him up, there are always these comments that piss me off. It's always, "X did this and X did that."

I get she's excited about it but I'm really annoyed that she keeps bringing it up. We were working on a school project and she completely blew me off, ignoring me and not doing what she was supposed to be doing FOR HOURS, just to talk to him. Whenever I tried to get her to send it to me, all I got was "on th...

Why my summer sucked


Posted Tuesday August 23 2016, 6:38 pm

This is more of a rant than a question, basically I've had the worst summer ever I didn't do anything at all except stay home and do the same things every single damn day. I ended up getting cabin fever because even when I did go out it was always with family and we would always go to the same place (the freaking mall that's by my house, which we go to whether it's summer time or not) ever since high school ended I've learned who my real friends really were, none of the friends that I talked to throughout high school ever tried to reach out to me this summer, it was always me texting them first to the point where if I don't text them I won't hear from them at all. One friend calls me constantly every single day to talk about her freaking bo...

hi, my name is kate and i have a "friend" we've been bestfriends for 5 years, she's always made me laugh and smile but also cry, mostly...she's been ugly since her childhood but i didn't care, now she's kinda pretty and she says she has a great body, but in reality she has a belly, no hourglass figurr and a hip dip, i'm not saying that this type of form is bad, she just says things that aren't true, somehow, she has been liked by a lot of guys, they were saying perverted things about her, and know she has a boyfriend who is from another country and is a singer(john robert rimel) and his real name is different in georgian ( i live in georgia the country) she also describes her life as a comedy-romantic-teenage movie and it seems so...

close friends yet not so close?


Posted Wednesday August 10 2016, 12:46 am

Hey, so I have a group of friends, I consider them my best friends, there are 8 people and we sit together at recess at school and organise things outside of school.
The problem is that I feel like they're not like me. Recently there have been so many arguments over such small things that personally I would just let go.
They avoid confrontation and when they have a problem with someone else in the group some of them just b**** about them.
I appreciate that I have them but I just don't feel like I have a proper friend like a best friend.
For example I am at home sick so I am not at school today and same with yesterday and no one asked me how I was feeling or why I was away or anything. When it's someone else I ...

friend copying me


Posted Wednesday August 3 2016, 2:37 am

So I have this friend and she seems to be trying to out-be me if that makes sense. I'll explain:

so there's this guy I went on a date with and friend-zoned and then a month later she started flirting with him and now they're going on a date. Now she is saying that she thinks I am jealous of them and I know that I am not, but I do find it annoying that out of everyone she had to go after him.

I have a best friend and this year even though she is one of my good friends too, she has become best friends with my best friend and now she tries to do everything with her. I do not have ownership of my friend but I am just saying that once again I find it odd that it is her that she goes after.

I Think My Friend Might Be Attention Seeking - HELP!


Posted Friday July 29 2016, 9:15 am

I have a friend I've known for years, recently he came to me saying he had depression. I've been helping him through it but now he's saying he has anxiety - I have anxiety so I've caught him out in a few lies about anxiety because I know a hell of a lot about it myself. Some of the things he says doesn't add up, and he comes to me all the time saying ''I'm going to kill myself on this day'' and I know people with an actual intention of committing suicide don't tell people. I want to be there for him, but with the lies and the constant empty threats of suicide I don't know what to believe. Nothing adds up, he always says he feels like shit but then he's laughing and smiling, if I say I have a problem he says he has it too, he always turns it...

A friend break?


Posted Friday July 22 2016, 8:45 am

Im 24 F and my best friend is 21 F. We've been friends for about two years and things were great. I also have a past of depression. Im also on Zoloft. So when I drink sometimes my emotions are out of control for the fact that im taking an antidepressant and then drinking is a depressant. Im so tired of trying to hold my friend up for the struggles shes going through nevermind trying to better myself. My best friend is beautiful and I would die to have her body and everything about her but she is so insecure. She literarily goes on a date with two different guys every week from tinder. And it bothers me, and she doesn't want to tell me her experience because I'm kind of a bitch about it because it makes me angry. Shes been single for about 2...

Birthday present for ex-friend?


Posted Sunday July 17 2016, 11:19 am

Hi, I'm 14 and I'm female. So basically I had a group of 4 friends and we all planed to go to a concert together. It was my friend's birthday and because she couldn't afford a ticket for herself I paid for hers as her present (£33). It was hard to save up the money to pay for hers and my ticket considering I'm young and don't have a job. Nevertheless I managed to do it. This was in April, and the concert is scheduled for November. All 4 of us were going to go up together (with my other friend's dad). I ordered everyone's tickets as it was easier to order them all together, and they should arrive about October time. Since then they all decided they didn't want my friendship anymore (they did this all at once by sending me long messages abou...
