I want to end a toxic friendship but am stuck. Urgent
Posted Thursday April 8 2021, 1:38 am
My bestfriend left in 10th grade and I got into a group of friends it was fine for a while until I felt like I was getting more and more picked on. From getting my head pushed, grabbing my shoes and I ran after them with my socks wet, grabbing my phone and texting people without my permission, always being the target and more. Now I am in 12 grade and am so happy that we are staying home cause in 11th grade I would have mental breakdowns every week cause I felt so lost and stuck cause the person who was the key to all of this knew I have social anxiety and cant just up and leave to a different friend group so I felt like this person was taking advantage of that. I told myself that I would wait until graduation and cut them off but now I fee...

I dread seeing my friend every day. What should I do?
Posted Wednesday April 7 2021, 8:44 am
Hello. I am 17 and a female. I'm reaching a point where I do not know what to do in this friendship that I'm in anymore. She is 18. I dread seeing her everyday. It's a long distance friendship, so it would be quite easy to break off. She's very clingy and possessive, while I am distant and need time alone.
I have known her for around 3 years. She will say things like, "I get out of bed for you", or, "you will never find a friend like me again." She has attempted for those 3 years to get me to be in a serious relationship with her even though I am obviously uncomfortable and decline her advances. I am not interested in the same gender, and I am not interested in her either. She also needs constant reassurance that ...

She Overheard My Conversation
Posted Friday March 5 2021, 10:02 am
Hi everyone. I'm pretty sure that my neighbor "Melissa" overheard me talking about her, and now I feel bad about it. Ever since I moved here she's been asking me to do favors for her at least twice a week. It would be anything from helping her carry boxes up the stairs to doing paperwork for her job. She's not elderly or anything so I don't know why she can't do it herself. The other thing is that she doesn't care what time it is or what I'm doing, if she asks me for help she expects me to come right now. And if I don't she'll keep calling me everyday until I do it, and she'll get angry if I say no. I finally got fed up and so I called one of my friends because I just needed to vent. I was so angry. I told her that Melissa's so an...

Is it bad that I feel really betrayed?
Posted Saturday February 20 2021, 12:34 am
Back in October of 2019, I was going through a pretty difficult time- my uncle had a wedding coming up and I'd just graduated secondary school (I'm in the UK) and moved into sixth form, which was pretty overwhelming initially, because there was a lot going on at once. I made a new online friend around this time and I really got along well with her and it was just so nice because I have always struggled with friendships and making friends before because hardly anyone took me seriously and people tended to just view me as a joke rather than an actual person- they used to mock me all the time thinking I wouldn't understand and used to make fun of me for having autism- so having this online friendship just felt really special, especially becaus...

The girl I like is awful at texting (and more about our troubles)

(there is a backstory to the long question read at your own risk)
Okay hello! So there is this girl that I have a crush on and I have been slowly moving on since she does not like me back. She is the first person that I have ever told that I have a crush on. Usually, I keep it to myself. She never outright said she doesn't like me like that but when I told her she said it was brave for me to tell her and that was it. I'm a lot more candid with her than I have ever been with my past crushes and we are really good friends. The only thing is though that we don't see each other in class anymore because of COVID and that was mainly how we hung out. So now I have to rely on texting and let me tell you she is AWFUL at texting. She t...

Ex toxic jealous friend
Posted Thursday November 19 2020, 8:07 am
I have an ex jealous toxic friend who's trying to ruin my life, recently she's trying to steal my friendship group and replace me in my own friend group. There’s this girl, let’s call her X, she’s -okay she was bullied for her looks. When I first met her no one in my school wanted to be her friend. I thought it was just because of her looks but I would soon find out that I was wrong. I thought she was beautiful and didn’t care about looks, and nor do I still.
I decided to be her friend, not out of pity for her but because I geniuinely wanted to be her friend she was happy and I introduced her to my friend group. My friendship group consisted of My best friend, (let’s call her A) i had known her for 8 years, my seco...

How am I suppose to behave around my ex?
Posted Wednesday November 11 2020, 2:51 pm
M/24 so I met this girl last year in university,we became friends. By January I asked her out and we dated for a couple of months (3month). But because of covid my school was closed and I traveled back home as I'm living in another city. so I could only communicate with her through social, call and text....sometimes around June she messaged me to breakup, telling me to never call or text her again (I was deeply crush,because I really loved this girl,but I can't blame her because I was needy in the relationship, super nice to her and i lacked confidence in myself) I've not contacted her since then... I've been working on myself improving myself and healing.
But everything is about to change because my school is resuming next ...

How to stop liking someone you’re friends with?
Posted Wednesday November 11 2020, 1:54 pm
So I met this person at my college last year from a small Bible study group we have on campus. I met the group during my second semester and have been participating with them since then. One of the members I found admirable because of his high level or intelligence both on religious topics as well as other topics in general. I don’t have a vehicle, so two of the members would rotate giving me rides to church since we all lived in the same general area. One of them moved, so this year it had just been one person taking me. I live in the dorms now, so our dorms are right beside each other, so no one has to pick me up or anything. The whole time I had thought he had a crush on this one girl in our group and I found out I was right, but she h...

Argument Over Fixing the Internet
Posted Wednesday September 30 2020, 9:13 am
I'm 19/f. We recently had a storm and it knocked out a lot of people's internet. My friend called me and asked if I can come over and fix her internet for her. She used to be my roommate so I usually helped her fix things in the apartment, but I never set up someone's internet before and I really didn't know how to do it. I told her that I can't, and that maybe she should call the cable company so they can send out a technician. She then asked if I can call the cable company myself and let them walk me through it so that I can fix it. But this sounded ridiculous to me because I didn't want to touch the wires and mess things up even more, and I also felt like she could call them herself, so I told her I couldn't do it. She kept begging me, b...

My best friends are excluding me
Posted Friday August 28 2020, 10:08 am
I’m 16 and a female and I have had the same three best friends since junior high. In the past, we’ve all been inseparable. But recently, they have been ignoring my texts and hanging out without me. I’ve reached out to them asking if i did anything to offend them, but they’ve all brushed it off by saying “of course not” so I really don’t know what to do.

Should I call my friend out regarding an older issue?
Posted Monday August 10 2020, 8:35 pm
In short, I had a really stressful junior year of college. I was so stressed out between school, work studies, being a resident assistant for the university, a break up that past summer, the death of my lifelong cat, and everything else related to personal family ties. I got next to no sleep during this time, and when I did sleep, I was met with horrific sleep paralysis which resulted in drastic and unfortunate mental consequences. The consequences were so intense that I had what psychiatrists called a “brief psychotic break”. Before the holiday break, I had reached out to some friends and told them what was going on and what I was experiencing. It was during the time when I was still pretty unwell, so I probably shared too much, and as...

Female bully
Posted Tuesday June 30 2020, 5:00 pm
I am a 17 year old boy. In school I used to like a girl. But she didn't reciprocate the same feelings for me. And strangely I was okay with it. I was confused as I was going through a bad phase. Also I saw her as my motivation. When College started (We both were in same college) I didn't want to lose her. So I made attempts to stay by her but no use. I eventually gave up and moved on When my friend came from abroad (he and she are best friends) my best friend called me and my friend (who is also my neighbour and we all were in same school) she taunted and teased me. I discussed this with my friend and he said that she is socially powerful and she has contacts. He said the only way to settle this is to patch up with her and be friend...

How do I move on from this regret?
Posted Thursday June 11 2020, 3:49 pm
I am a 17 year old guy from India. In 12 years of my schooling, I didn't get to make a lot of friends although I had an opportunity. But still at that time I was going through a really tough time and I lost that opportunity. In my junior college I decided not to repeat the same mistake but still I have a bad luck. Due to my strict timetable and other classes I couldn't make friends there too (Although I did make some). But the friends which I made are not that close to me. Like we hang out but not that often. Besides it was a posh college and I lost the opportunity again. And the worst part is that I won't get admission in that college again due to low marks. This whole fact about almost no friends makes me regret and haunt me till today. H...

My friend hasn’t talked to me in 2 months and I don’t know what to do
Posted Wednesday May 27 2020, 7:01 pm
In the beginning of April, my friend dropped me out of nowhere with no explanation. Within the first few days, I noticed something was up so I texted him about it and he didn’t respond. Soon enough he started to cut me off from almost all of his social media. I still saw him interacting with the other people in my friend group so I knew that he only had a problem with me. This bothered me a lot because, even though I didn’t know why he cut me off, I knew I hurt him and I felt so guilty for making him feel this way. Eventually weeks went by and I began to lose hope that we were gonna talk again. My 18th birthday was coming up and I was hoping to hear from him. But to my own mistake, I got my hopes up and he ended up not telling me anythi...

Should I reconnect with my best friend?
Posted Monday May 4 2020, 2:50 am
My best friend and I ended our friendship 7 months ago. He betrayed my trust and showed his true colors after I defended my boyfriend, which my friend always had something against because of his own old romantic feelings towards me. He humiliated me in front of my friends and tried to make me feel bad and apologize for things that should never be apologized for. Now, 7 mos later I’m able to recognize my mistakes, and I think we were both too stubborn at the time to fix the problems in our relationship. If they were fixed, our friendship probably wouldn’t have ended so soon. Now I hate to say it, but I miss him tremendously. Our happy memories constantly remind me how much I miss him being my best friend, talking to and seeing him everyd...

Losing Touch with People
Posted Wednesday April 15 2020, 12:45 pm
Hello. My name is Brian Hardy. I am twenty-seven years old and I live in Danville, California. I have Asperger’s Syndrome, so I do get upset easily about many things. Plus long-term relationships can be difficult for me. I am also a brony, which is a male fan of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Watching that show has taught me the true meaning of love and friendship, so because of that, family and friendship is important to me. Anyway, what I am going to discuss today is losing people I was once close to. The first person I will discuss is my best friend David. David is my best friend. Just like me, he also has Asperger’s Syndrome and he is a brony. We first met at a brony meetup in Emeryville on August 1, 2015. We had previously go...
