I’m tired of people saying I’m awkward?


Posted Wednesday April 4 2018, 11:49 am

I don’t get how I’m awkward I’m literally just being myself and different people keep saying I’m awkward it all started in grade 9 when this girl in my class randomly came up to me and hugged me from behind and I was caught off guard so I said “oh okay” when I looked back to see who it was. Then she was like “omg maise you’re so awkward” and started laughing, even though I’m not used to hugs from behind. Another time was in grade 11 I was talking to an old friend from elementary school I don’t really remember the conversation but she said I was awkward. Now that I’m hanging out with my acquaintances that I’ve known since I was like 9 (I don’t consider anyone really a friend except for one person) keep saying I...

How do I get over this friendship?


Posted Tuesday February 20 2018, 1:14 pm

So long story short me and this childhood friend have been friends since kindergarten but tbh the friendship may have ended in the 6th grade but it prolonged until grade 11 of high school because of how long we were friends. I’ll admit I was never a good friend to her at all in elementary school, i wanted to fit in with the cool crowd and since they didn’t like her I wanted to fit in so I’d spread her secrets. So as our friendship prolonged into highechool she stopped sharing secrets with me and started putting me down whenever she had the chance saying stuff like “we never wanted to invite you we just needed an extra person” she always treated me like a third friend in our friend group. So one day her and friend B got into a fig...

I feel like my best friend is abandoning me


Posted Friday February 2 2018, 6:05 pm

It feels like my best friend (we’ll call him R), is abandoning me for another social group. This group can’t really seem to take a liking to me (although I’ve developed a reasonably good friendship with one of them) but they’re fine with R. They don’t take me seriously enough. I feel as if R is too social now and I’m quite the opposite. I miss the days when it was just the 2 of us bantering but now it feels like he doesn’t have time for that anymore. I don’t want to stop hanging around with R, but I don’t like him hanging around with this group . This probably sounds really cheesy but he’s basically the only friend I’ve got and I don’t want to risk losing him
How do I either
a) get him to stop hanging a...

I think I'm jealous of my friend?


Posted Thursday February 1 2018, 5:35 pm

I have two friends that I'll call Friend A and Friend B. I met Friend A this summer, and we've been friends since! I would have to say I spend more time with Friend A. We play the same sport, eat lunch every other day, and we have a class together. In that class we have together theres this guy, aka Friend B. Me and Friend B only spend that class together, do we really only hang out during and after that class. Friend B has a ton of the same interests I do, which I suppose is why we became friends! Recently though, our teacher gave us assigned seats, and Friend A and B are now sitting right next to each other, while I'm halfway across the room. Friend A and B started bonding with each other, and I've been getting this pang of jealousy ever ...

I'm so done with this guy!


Posted Monday January 8 2018, 1:24 pm

Me and this kid, lets call him Liam, have been friends since I moved to thia school. He had a girlfriend at the time, and me and her were good friends. Me and Liam often ride the bus home together since we have the same bus route. We were riding home one day and he got a boner. I understand, it happens sometimes, especially to teenagers, so I let it slide. After that he started telling me things that you only tell certain people, like his fetishs and personal stuff like that. I pretended like it was fine, but it really wasn't. I regret doing that. He really crossed the line when he started masturbating on the bus beside me, and then putting that hand on me. I pretended like it was okay again. I have a problem with being way too passive, and...

Tips on going to a party when you only know the host?


Posted Thursday December 28 2017, 12:15 am

So I got invited to this girls dinner party, the problem is I I only know her and she invited over 30 people. I’m very introverted and I don’t do well in social situations especially something as intimate as a dinner party so I was wondering if you had any tips on how I can survive this. I don’t want to sit beside her cause I’m pretty sure she probably has an idea of the seating arrangements. She even told me I could bring a friend but none of my friends want to go. I’ve been in social situations where I didn’t know anybody like my university orientation week but it is different than this because everyone there didn’t know each other so it was easier to socialize but this dinner party majority of the people knew each other from high school. Please help I’m 18 btw

How do you deal with broken up friendships?


Posted Wednesday December 20 2017, 9:27 pm

Basically, at school this girl and I have stopped being friends and it has driven a wedge in between our friend group. The name I'm going to use for this girl is Barbara(I've never met one in my entire life) Our friends are corrupt. They will literally call me and complain or talk about the things they dislike about Barbara to me. I don't want to drive Barbara's friends away because Barbara was a best friend to me once and although she has said some very hurtful things, I wish nothing, but well on her. But the gag is after her friends talk about her to me, they hang out with her. I value my friends and I don't want to lose them. Along with a lot other stuff this is not good for my already terrible depression.

Being a bridesmaid when my ex-friend is also going to be one?


Posted Monday December 18 2017, 6:07 pm

I've just been asked to be part of the bridal party for one of my best friends. While I feel so honoured by her request, I'm very hesitant as she has told me about her intention to ask someone else as well. This person and I do not get along.
This person used to be my friend and former roommate. Our friendship ended 6 months ago when she moved out. Having been friends for over a decade, we had moved in together despite the fact that I was warned by various other friends that it wasn't a good idea. From the day we moved in, the relationship started deteriorating and she started to behave quite badly.
Just a few examples of this included:
- Never washing her dishes or putting them away or putting the garbage out and becom...

Do you think she blocked me or just deleted her whatsapp?


Posted Monday December 18 2017, 1:58 pm

So there’s this person in my class long story short we had an exam coming up and she’s the only smart person I know in my class because my friends would come to me for help and I couldn’t go to them for help cause they don’t know anything. So I asked this girl she was nice in the beginning but then the day before the exam she was responding rudely saying “I’m not home, ask somebody else etc” so I told her “I did ask other people Andrea they don’t know anything” then I told her it’s okay I’ll figure it out myself (cause clearly she didn’t want to help) then she said okay remind me tomorrow about it and I’ll help you. The next day I didn’t even bother messaging her but when I got on to ask her when she was going ...

Repairing an old and dear friendship


Posted Friday December 8 2017, 5:34 pm

I am a 72 year old Canadian heterosexual woman divorced for over 40 years, mother of one daughter, grandmother of 2, living on my own for about 20 years. I have a woman friend with whom I was very close for several years. The closeness began to deteriorate d/t various moves and changes in life journeys over the years and my own tendency to be reclusive. She and her sister moved about 300 km away about 8 years ago. We rarely see each other anymore, no longer are daily witnesses to each other's lives, meeting on a once a year weekend visit which includes her sister and other new friends and once a year pre-Christmas visit with a group of other old friends of hers, acquaintances of mine. I have not had more than 2 hours alone with her in all t...

How to make more friends?


Posted Thursday November 23 2017, 8:19 am

Making friends is easier said than done if you’re an outgoing person. I’m not really outgoing, I’m super shy, I’m starting to get over my social anxiety but when I talk to people I meet at school I end up talking about school cause idk what else to talk to them about. Since all I do is go to work, school and then home (since growing up my parents didn’t let me go out so eventually people stopped inviting me out, I only go out once in a blue moon) Anyways during my first year of university I went to orientation week by myself (we weren’t allowed to bring friends who didn’t go to the school). I didn’t want to enter the orientation by myself so I saw a girl who was struggling and she said she was going to the same orientation a...

My friend framed me and I'm wondering if maybe I deserve it.


Posted Saturday November 11 2017, 11:47 am

Awhile back I went out with my friend's boyfriend behind her back. I know I shouldn't of, but he was clearly more into me than her and he said he wanted to break up with her anyway, so I gave in to temptation.

When my friend found out she physically attacked me when she saw me next at school. I fought back out of self-defense. The principal called the cops and I was the one arrested because my friend and 2 friends of hers who were there when it all went down lied and said I'd started it.

We ended up going to court and neither her and her friends nor me changed our stories. On Friday, I was found guilty. I'd never been in trouble with the law before, but because the judge thought I lacked remorse and needed to l...

What to do about my friend?


Posted Saturday November 4 2017, 2:59 pm

So i have this friend you know shes the kind of girl who is basically glued to the hip with her boyfriend. If you want a girls day out you better include him, if youre having a bday party you better invite him too and if you talk to her on the phone hes all she talks about, even if you change the convo somehow she relates it to him and if you bring up your problems it still relates to him. But he can hangout with his friends without her, but she cant hangout with her own friends without him. Anyways long story short shes cut off basically all of our friends and the only friend that shes still friends with is me from the friend group. This is a problem because now im the honourary third wheel, anytime we hangout its the three of us, i have n...

How to get back to the way i was? and make friends


Posted Thursday October 26 2017, 2:12 pm

I dont know what happened but in elementry school (its kindergarten to grade 8) i used to be so funny,outgoing (very unhappy on the inside tho), had a lot of friends both guys and girls but i was also very quiet and shy at the same time. I was popular for being the quiet girl but who was funny. Anyways high school started and i think i made the worst mistake by going to the same high school as the people i grew up with because i know people can be judgemental but these were probably the most judgemental people ive ever met and are part of the reason why i was unhappy in elementry school. Anyways high school started and its like i snapped, i couldnt talk to boys anymore or people in general without feeling awkward this resulted in having no ...

My best friend invites me to go clubbing far away, then brings a guy?


Posted Thursday October 5 2017, 9:33 pm

I know she means well, but she always wants to go clubbing in a city that's an hour and a half away from me. I love dancing and wouldn't mind this if I was in a committed relationship and I was okay with a significant other driving one way and me driving back, but I'm not. I'm in that state of life where I date somebody for a short amount of time and then move on to the next guy when we figure out we're not a good match.

For example twice now I invited a guy (different guys) I'd been on 3 prior dates with. Both times I had a terrible time because as soon as we got on the dance floor the guy started acting weird and then wound up getting super drunk and I had to drive a drunk guy 90 minutes home. Both times I wound up buying m...

My friend is suicidal what should I do?


Posted Tuesday September 26 2017, 11:09 pm

So my friend is very depressed and I knew she had family problems but I didn't know it was so severe that it caused her to self-harm/ think suicidal thoughts. When she told me she made it clear that she told my other friends and she told them if they made the situation about themselves she would cut them off, I guess it's because she feels unheard. Anyways she said she's been 3 months clean and that's because she said by her 20s if she's still unhappy she will commit suicide. We are currently 19 years old. I don't know what to do I want to get her help because I know what it's like to be suicidal because I too have been there but I feel like I'll be betraying her trust if I go to a hospital and ask to admit her. I want her to be mentally we...

What should I do about my friend


Posted Sunday September 3 2017, 12:36 am

e and I have had a bit of a falling out lately and yesterday we started to talk again. He seems to think I ve been purposely trying to avoid him even though sometimes I just have trouble communicating. I told him that but he still doesn t seem to get it. He says he s scared to tell me how he feels about everything and I told him it s just an excuse for not being upfront to me. We ve been best friends for a long time and all I want is for him to stop being so indirect about his feelings. He also got his "gf" (they re not dating but they are romantically involved 😉) to talk to me for him and she had nothing to with it so that pissed me off. How can I talk to him? What should I say now? I just want him to be direct about how he fe...
