Roommates Won't Talk To Me


Posted Monday March 2 2020, 10:30 am

I was wondering how I can get my roommates to talk to me I tried everything, I clean our place, clean dishes and when ever I see them I ask them how their day was. The 3 of them will be talking and if I walk into the room they get quiet. We are in college and I want them to talk to me without me starting the conversation. So far they leave notes asking me to pick stuff off at the store.

concerned friend


Posted Wednesday February 12 2020, 4:54 pm

I have this really sweet guy friend I met online and we’ve been hanging out every now and then for the past I’ll say 5 months. We do text and talk often and we are physical as well.
I’ve been around him with his friends randomly. No major introductions.
So I was with him like February 7th and then I haven’t heard from him since. It’s going on about 4 to 5 days now of us not speaking. I don’t know anyone he knows and I don’t want to seem like a psychopath or stalker and message his mom but I am concerned about him. And I’ve text him and I have called him once. And I just wanted to know should I just let him contact me when everything is okay or should I go ahead and message his mom because I do care about this guy.

Roommates smoking weed


Posted Wednesday February 5 2020, 1:53 am

This isn’t so much a friendship question as it about roommates. I recently moved to this new place. Everything was fine until one of my roommates started smoking weed. The smell is nauseating and I honestly don’t want the stuff in my system. I’m getting very pissed off, especially when the place has a policy against alcohol, drugs and tobacco. I don’t want to out them, but I also don’t think they’ll stop just because I asked them to.

What should I do? Should I ask them to stop smoking? This is the first time this is happening to me. I don’t know what I should do. By the way, they’re also aged 18-19, so I’m pretty sure its underage use of the stuff as well.

Am i doing something wrong?


Posted Monday January 27 2020, 12:50 pm

My best friends(2) and I recently had a fight. We've made up since then but only because I said sorry. They always left me out and never really did anything even after I told them multiple times to help me out. After I while I stopped associating with them. Then I decided to end this friendship cause I have severe depression, and they were once the only things that made me happy and kept me alive, and it hurt to see them as a duo, when we're really a trio. I told one of them, who also had depression, about the fact that I have depression too. When I brought it up,both of them started blaming me for it, and told me I should have come to them. When I said I did, and helped them recount it, they told me that 'I' should have taken it carefully ...

Friend makes me uncomfortable


Posted Monday December 9 2019, 7:12 pm

Ok, I have a problem. So I have this "friend", we'll just call her Amy. At the beginning of the year, Amy and I were both friends with a different friend, let's call her Ella. One day, Amy expressed to me how she felt Ella was mistreating her, and I offered her my support. From that day forward, Amy started to get really weird. Every time Ella was around, she would HEAVILY disagree with everything Ella had to say, even if Ella was right, and then elbow me, and give me a look that said, "can you believe her?!" It only gets worse. I invited Amy over to my house once, and regretted it. The whole time she just sat on my laptop and watched YouTube. She then asked for ice cream and chips and ignored me the whole time. She does...

Meeting An Underage Girl


Posted Wednesday November 20 2019, 1:40 pm

Hello. My name is Brian Hardy. I am twenty-six years old and I live in Danville, California. I have Asperger’s Syndrome, so relationships can be difficult with em and I tend to interact more with people who are younger or older than me. My current issue that I am having is with a girl named Rachel. I met a girl who works at my gym named Rachel. She is very friendly, we get along very well, and we are able to have nice conversations with each other. Plus both of us are originally from San Jose. The thing is Rachel is only sixteen years old and I am twenty-six years old. However, there were times when I helped out Rachel. For example, I noticed that Rachel was struggling in Math. I referred her to my former math tutor Mrs. Hom, but Mrs. Hom...

Betrayal


Posted Monday November 18 2019, 4:55 pm

I’m experiencing some trust issues with 2 girls I call friends. Imagine this , being in the same high school with your sister who is a senior; you a freshmen. Everyday your in the cafeteria she comes to talk to you, when she walks past the 2 girls watch her and hide their laughter as if they’re making fun of her or have an inside joke about her daily appearance or clothes. I don’t know what to do about it or how to treat them if they are laughing at and disrespecting my sister. How should I sneakily find out if they are laughing at her, and what to do if they are? These aren’t the kind of girl friends I could approach and ask or confront about if they were laughing at her, and they definitely aren’t going to take me seriously or t...

No respect


Posted Monday November 18 2019, 4:54 pm

3 friends/ girls Freshmen in highschool
Surely but not even slowly, the girls I not so long ago began to claim as friends have changed. They’ve all gotten into their “ relationships” which was the inevitable but still shocked me a little at discovering it. But hears my real problem we barely talk due to no classes together, even when the new semester starts we’ll have a class together I don’t know if I could see them as the same girls. Does them engaging in relationships mean they’ve changed?,I’m quite biased, and do I still consider it a friendship? What’s the status?.

Is my friend flirting with me?


Posted Sunday November 17 2019, 8:46 pm

So this girl and I are both 18, first-year university students. Last night we're all playing pool, 3v3 and the girl specifically asks to be on my team. We're friends, but not too much outside of this friend group.
Then it just felt like whenever it was her turn, she'd be asking me for advice really enthusiastically, despite the fact that the other guy on our team is objectively better than me. Anyway, she just seemed to be super bubbly whenever asking me what to do for her shot and stuff like that. Eventually it's the other guy who ends up winning the game for us, but she ends up running over and hugging *me* instead, which felt like an overreactive measure to begin with, just grabbing my waist a few separate times.
It sort of...

Asking friend for money back


Posted Tuesday October 29 2019, 2:59 pm

Two years ago, I lent a friend $4500. She told me she would pay me back after a month, but kept putting off payment. Eventually, after 5 months of this, she told me she would pay me back when another friend paid her back a debt he owed her. I told her that was fine. At that point, the friend paid her $1500 and she passed it to me leaving a balance of $3000.

Since then, the other friend's financial situation has not been good and he hasn't paid her any more money back. Consequently, my friend hasn't paid me anything back.

Today, I asked her to start paying me back again. I mentioned that it had been two years and, although the amended plan was to wait for her friend, it has been two years with no sign of progr...

Feeling at fault


Posted Friday October 11 2019, 12:13 am

I keep feeling like I am at fault for my ex who is now a friend of mine going to prison soon. He has a 2 year sentence, because of doing something stupid. But I feel like it's my fault like everytime we fought, he went and drank or did something that he wasn't supposed to because of him being on probation. So now I feel like it's my fault, because he's in jail right now and I don't know when I will be able to see him ever again. I feel like all I can do is write him letters and let him know how sorry I am. But I did not put the bottle in his hand or anything else for that matter. I just don't know if it really is my fault, because all I did was support him and try to keep him out of trouble the best to my abilities. Thank you for your input.

I have to chose between my morals or my friends and I don’t know what to do


Posted Wednesday October 9 2019, 10:18 pm

I have been friends with these girls for 10 years let’s call them C and S. just last year we started hanging out with another girl, let’s call her K. K is very dramatic and can be very harsh. Recently we have been hangeing out with a girl named A. One day K decided that she doesn’t like A and started talk very badly about her. Then S got influenced by that and started not liking her as well. They are both being very mean to her. Walking away when she comes, talking bad about her when she is standing right beside them. Recently it’s been really bad and I just never expected S to act this mean. I sort of expected it from K. But I just could have never predicted that S who is a sweet girl that never wanted to hurt anyone could be so ...

I dont want to stay together and work with a friend i have known since chil


Posted Tuesday September 24 2019, 11:25 am

Hi ....I am from India. I have known a friend since childhood and studied together stayed in same room for 4yeas. Although during this time we had so many fights, misunderstandings and moments when I felt to completely seprate from her. I don't like some of the things about her behaviour but because both of our families were family friends I continued compromising and may be she too comprised.
Now, college is over and I got job. She called me today and was asking about the firm where I will work. I felt that she too want to work there and if she did I would have to stay together with her bacuse we are family friends(that a typical Indian thing) and I don't want that because I want to stay away from her.

I’ll be using fake names to make the story easier for everyone to understand. So I have a male friend named Bob who I became very close to and considered a brother. He trusted me with a secret about sleeping with one of my friends lets name her Sally. I swore to him I wouldn’t tell anyone.

Sally went to Bob and told him that I had told Jane and so Bob went off on me saying these very disrespectful things and belittling me. So in an effort to defend me Jane went to talk to Bob to let him know hes the one who messed up. In return Bob ended up exposing me and telling Jane that I had told hi...
