the ultimate question: how to make (and keep) new friends


Posted Saturday September 22 2007, 12:21 am

I'm sure everyone has faced this problem at some point in his or her life. I tried searching for this question, but nothing really came up. Anyway...

First I will say that I am a very introverted person. But, I want to make new friends. This past year, I just haven't made any good friends. I know lots of people, but I don't really see them, or hang out. In fact, I don't even really like the people that I know. I haven't found anyone that I can connect with. If I have met someone that I think I could really be good friends with, they just don't really reciprocate. I feel like they aren't a good friend to me.

I'm moving to a new city soon. I'm seeing this as an opportunity to meet new people. But, how do I meet ...

Losing your best friend


Posted Thursday September 20 2007, 5:09 am

22/F.

Have you ever had a partner who you wanted to break up with, but still really wanted in your life as a friend?

My exboyriend was my best friend, but he was more than that. We got together when we were 17, friends from age 15. I felt like he was a part of my personality, and I loved him to bits. But I felt no passion for him and believed we could not make it work in the long run (I still believe this and do not want a relationship with him again).

We broke up after living together for two years. After two months of trying to stay friends, he said he did not want anything to do with me anymore. I was seeing someone new and he could not cope with this and I do not blame him. This happened t...

missing out on friday


Posted Tuesday September 18 2007, 10:01 pm

on friday, my friend is having a sleepover at her house with like 5 other girls or something. i was invited but i couldn't go because i have something to do with my family. my problem is, whenever i can't go somewhere, even if it's not that big of a deal, my one friend has to make it like "the best time ever" and make me feel soo bad about msising out. it sucks though, cause when i miss ONE thing it's like they talk about it for EVER, and like plan all this stuff based around it just cause i wasn't there. but then like, if i had been there it wouldn't have been that big of a deal. she just tries to make me feel left out sometimes it feels like, and she tries to make it seem like it was soooo much fun and that because of 1 thing ...

i'm so tired of this.


Posted Monday September 17 2007, 4:42 pm

ok, so i'm 13/f, and i have to 13/f friends who have been best friends since forever. one feels like she's been living in the other's shadow (lets call her Alma), and doesn't know what to do about it, so finally she gets mad at the other girl (Ana) for no reason. actually her "reason" is that the girl didn't tell her that there were beta club elections for president, and so now she's all pissed. it's so retarded. now she won't even talk to her. and we've all been in a group together since who knows when, and i'm still friends with them both, but they won't talk to each other. Also, "Ana's" birthday is this Friday, and we don't know what to do! if they don't make up before then, i don't know what we're all gonna do. help!

Racial Issue


Posted Monday September 17 2007, 3:40 pm

This is a complicated issue and I would like you to realize it's not as simple as it sounds before giving me advice, and telling me what the "obvious right thing" to do is.

I live in Sweden. There's a lot of rasism here. The blonds (swedish) all assume anyone who's brunette is uneducated, a trouble maker, and criminal. The brunettes (anyone born anywhere else) all assume the blonds are boring, dorks, judgemental etc. This goes for every age-group. I've heard my 10 year old brother and his friends talk about it. And I teach a sunday school class where I constantly hear things like "i got this bruise from a brunette..obviously" or "dont play that game, only the blondes do". Same goes for grown-ups,...

Acting Different


Posted Sunday September 16 2007, 8:17 pm

I moved to a new school this year and i met about
10 new friends and we are all in a group.
But i've got really close with 2 girls from the group ( i'll call them maria and jen )
but maria told me she liked this guy who is sadly in all of her classes. i've known him since 1st grade and honestly, he's really stupid. she only likes him because she thinks he's cute, well he is but thats a different story. Well now shes been going all crazy and saying i need a boyfriend soo badly and i told her it won't go far but she doesn't believe me. she won't stop talking about boys and how bad she wants a boyfriend. its really annoying. i want to keep her as a friend because i love her a lot, but how can i prove to her that this guy isn't right for her? =\

hey..well, my friend and i are both 15/f. and we have an a.p euro class together. well, there we take notes. the teachers lectures us. and my friend was absent last week for one day. i took about like 45 pages of notes that day. not even kidding. and now she's asking me to scan them and give them to her. should I? I really don't want to. I know she's my friend and all. But I consider this course a strict "only study yourself" course. like, don't help people out, or you're gonna get stuck yourself. I don't know what to do. I would like to help a friend. But scanning 45 pages of the notes that *I* worked so hard on, listening to him and gathering info on. And letting her HAVE it without any effort on her part...well that's not very ...

FRIENDS!


Posted Sunday September 16 2007, 3:03 pm

PLEASE HELP IM DESPERATE!

I'm so pissed at all my friends. Like I can't even find the words to explain it. Michelle and Hana and I all had this thing were we slept over Hana's house and snuck out with this guy. They just did it yesterday and didn't invite me, even though weve only done it once before it annoyed me.

Michelle is kinda like the "leader" of our group and everyone listens to her. She like makes fun of me for being tall and it pisses me off. And everyone is obsessed with theses people and I feel left out. Some times I just want to cry. Im pretty and everything but im not loud and outgoing and people just dont listen to me. What can I do to make them like me and be in the middle of things? PLEASE HELP! Thanks so much. Anything helps. %%
