Just Saw My Best Friend's Reddit Confession – What Should I Do?
Posted Thursday March 28 2024, 4:13 pm
My (20M) best friend is a woman (22F). I was browsing Reddit and just came across a thread from her in the advice subreddit. Her thread was about how she's recently started developing romantic feelings for her best male friend... first just seeing the thread I was thinking "interesting, I'm in an identical situation with identical ages of M20 and F22, I'm just the man in the party", and then I saw her username, and yep, that's her.
To be honest, I feel the same way. I love that woman with all my heart, and I'd be open to exploring a romantic relationship with her- I just don't want to risk losing that special friendship. So I've grappled with these romantic feelings too; she's confessing online that she's developing...

Should I tell her how her kiss made me feel?
Posted Saturday December 23 2023, 4:52 pm
A couple days ago, I (20s/F) attended a Christmas party with my best friend (also 20s/F) and we ended up exchanging a kiss underneath some mistletoe. The two of us are straight, so we basically did this as a joke. Only problem is, I REALLY enjoyed that kiss! I never expected to enjoy a kiss with another woman so much and I've literally been questioning my sexuality ever since.
I've been thinking of asking my friend if she felt the same way, but I'm afraid it'll make things super weird between us if it turns out it was no big deal to her. I'm so confused right now. Should I risk our friendship by bringing this up or just keep my mouth shut? Don't know if anyone reading this has ever been in a similar situation, but I appreciate any advice anyone may have to offer nonetheless.

Posted Thursday November 30 2023, 10:41 am
So I am a 34 year old female and I have no friends my age all my friends are at least in there 60's and I have been going to counseling and my counselor says I need to make some friends that are girls my age to just hang out with . I went to church last night my step dad dropped me off because I don't drive. This girl I use to be friends with in highschool asked if I was going to the Christmas at the church and I said I was going to try . She asked if I needed a ride? Does this mean she wants to be my friend again? I said yes. We didn't get in to a fight after highschool we just lost touch. How do I go about asking her to hangout with out sounding weird? I just don't want to send off the wrong message.

Our school went on a trip. My friend's names are A, C, G, and I. We 5 stayed with another group of 5 members who are very close to C and I. So, that another group gave mine, A and G's name to mam when she asked there are three cabinets empty in her room. They gave our name to shift and gave silly reasons like we made the room wet when all made it wet after trekking. The main reason was mingling problem that we 3 weren't mingling with them so yeah we went out of the room. But C and I ignored me and A so much. They acted like we are strangers literally. And now, C is saying sorry and saying that she did put efforts into talking with me when she didn't at all and saying that I didn't do the minimum effort to talk. All hypocrisy. I don't know w...

Should I tell my friends about the mess that I'm in?
Posted Wednesday June 28 2023, 4:00 pm
Awhile back, I took my car for a drive and was looking at my phone when I should've been watching the road. I ended up going through a red light and collided with another car. Luckily, no one was hurt, but I was charged with reckless driving.
Yesterday, I received my sentence. The judge decided I should spend ten days in juvie (I'm 17) in order to learn a lesson about texting and driving. I'm being allowed to serve my sentence incrementally, on weekends. This is so I can keep my summer job. Basically, I'll be spending every weekend in juvie until the end of July.
I still can't believe I got myself into this mess. Why was I so stupid? Why couldn't I have just waited until I was home before responding to that t...

What to do if a friend acts in such way?
Posted Tuesday January 3 2023, 8:36 pm
So I have a childhood friend say her name is Becky,and we use to play together. Now we have common friends. When we ask her if she wants to come for a walk or for a outing, most of the time she says no.We do ask her if she wants to go with us but now we have heard saying her no so many times that we also have stopped asking her always. I can understand she might have issues so i never argued with her. My other friends and her had a Fallout earlier as well but things were going okay now. Resently we made a plan to go out, we were total 6 people and one more who couldn't make it.
So the organizer of the plan in middle had a fallout due to family issue and plan was cancelled but then he again said it was okay but due to that my other fr...

Losing friends
Posted Monday October 17 2022, 7:12 pm
As I am getting older (turning 27yrs old), I'm starting to realize that my friend group has significantly diminished. COVID caused a lot of isolation over the two years, and as time went on the space grew between me and the people who I thought I was close with. Sometimes when I see them or try to talk to them via message I just feel alienated because of how loss in touch I am with them and how different we've become as individuals. Unfortunately we don't talk anymore (they don't even try and attempt small talk either). I know that it is a part of life. They say people come and go... but sometimes I feel hurt and bummed out about it. These people who I thought were going to be my friends to the very end have moved on with their lives, are g...

how to turn acquaintance into friend?
Posted Thursday September 22 2022, 9:31 pm
I am 29 years old and a diagnosed autistic. Throughout most of my life, I had absolutely ZERO friends. Almost all of my attempts at friendship were very one-sided (me making all the effort and them not showing they care on any level) and it has taken a toll on me. When I moved to NYC, I became best friends with this girl, but eventually she became very mean and toxic and I had to end things. It made me really sad, because she was the only friend I ever had. But I had to set boundaries.
So that leaves me back to having barely any friends again. There are a couple women I've encountered who seem really awesome and I'd love to become closer with. But I don't know how to advance these relationships because I don't have t...

Is it a straight bromance or something more?
Posted Tuesday September 6 2022, 6:22 pm
I am looking for like an outsider honest take on something about my relationship with another guy. It has some definite homo vibes and I am straight, but maybe I am way misinterpreting and maybe being homophobic by being paranoid about something that is not really gay and just a guy treating me really well and being super physical as a buddy. I truly love this dude and hope it is not a deal he is into me for a sexual reason and is not a genuine friend.

I'll be honest. I have plenty of friends.The problem is none of my friendships are very deep.Some of them I will get closer to and feel like our friendship is doing great, but then when any of their other friends are around they completely ignore me! But if I start talking to someone else because they are ignoring me, they will start trying to get my attention. What should I do?

Do I cut off this friend or not?
Posted Wednesday April 27 2022, 1:53 pm
I made this guy friend almost a year ago and we snapchat everyday and sometimes talk at school. I think he’s obsessed with me though, he gets angry about any male attention i get or if i mention another male. He is constantly getting annoyed at me for stupid things that he over thinks about. He talks to me so nice when he’s happy when he’s not he speaks to me so rudely and i don’t like it. He always starts arguments if anything i do annoys him even though we are just friends. I get anxiety when he starts an argument with me. I really like being his friend but hate this side of him it makes me feel really awful and anxious. What do i do?

My neighbors, who is a scientist lacks emotional intelligence
Posted Tuesday December 28 2021, 5:13 pm
My wife passed away last December from cancer, this year has been very difficult for me. I've practically been isolated. I am still very devastated, I miss my wife so much. My neighbors gave me a gift and a card. When I opened the box it was a coffee mug with a face sculptured on it. The card read " So you don't feel alone when you're drinking." This really hurt and bothered me. Am I wrong for feeling this way?

I used to play with a group of old friends but then they left me, and they hurt me a lot And even called me trash So I don't want she Close to them because I fear they will be like me and I feel uncomfortable when I see my best friend so close to them. I told her what I thought. And she also promised me that she wouldn't get along with them. But one day we had a big argument and she left me.

Trying To Be Chill RE Gay College Roommate
Posted Monday December 20 2021, 5:37 pm
Hello. I am not sure how to do this so I will just ramble and hopefully there will be some good advice even if I don’t ask the right questions. I appreciate any honest opinions and advice.
I am 18 and freshman in college. I am straight and raised traditional Catholic. I do have a girlfriend (five years now) but she is smarter than me and going to school at Notre Dame in Indiana and I go to school locally in St. Louis. I could give more details on that if you want, but not sure if they are relevant.
The issue is my roommate. Let’s call him Trevor (not his real name). Trevor is totally and fearlessly gay. He likes dudes and he does not hide it. He talks about guys he likes, or guys he met, or guys we see on TV, and how hot t...

Jealousy and harassment

Hi there, I need an anonymous advice to tackle a nasty situation. I've discussed this with my family and friends but I felt they were biased. I need someone to think about it with impartiality.
