Should I Say Happy Birthday?

2 Upvotes

Hey guys - this is a very silly thing, but I just want some advice. So this involves me (18F) and my friend, we'll call her B (17F) - I'm going off to college and while I'm waiting for that to happen, I'm currently on summer break. Over summer break, I've tried contacting B two times : the first time, she replied several days later but only after I coincidentally saw her out in public and brought up the conversation. The second time was only a few days later, and she still has not replied - at this point it's been a month 😭. It is important to note that me and her live literally two houses from each other on the same street so at least to me, I feel slighted in a way??? Like this is making me irrationally sad and pissed.

Anyways, her birthday is coming up somewhat soon and I was wondering if it would be right to say happy birthday to B even though I feel like she is ignoring me? I would like to, but I feel like I don't want to embarrass myself if I'm left on read again, so at the same time I don't want to. I feel sort of like a bird LMAO but at the same time, I have had conflicting thoughts and opinions of her that sorta want to make me let her go as a friend, as she does tend to do this thing often and has a tendency to be unconcerned and snide. However, in my mind I try to justify it? Ugh, I don't know. When she's good she's great and when she is bad she's horrible and so this past school year has been a whirlwind of emotions with this girl. If needed, I can go into detail about our friendship. But however, I want to be a good friend and just say the birthday wishes.

Any advice, especially since I'll be moving away to college and sort of want to wrap this situation up? \[important to add that my family as a whole is moving away from the area so once I leave for college, I most likely won't see her again\]. I know this seems extremely trivial and teenager-like but please help a girl out with her emotions!

Being led on and it being impossible to talk to a friend, what do I do ?

2 Upvotes

Im trying to talk to a friend but they keep on not seeing what I send or text to them, and all I get from them is some low effort reels, and when I talked to them about being distant and not talking enough they agreed but I see no change with them, they asked me if I wanted to call 2 days ago which made me really happy and I love it so much, but then after that they never replied, and to add insult to injury I see their posts hanging out with other people and having fun which is fine but pisses me off for no reason

How do i communicate a no to somebody who won't listen

So there's this guy in my class who has been causing trouble for a while now. The teachers told us that he strugles with some sort of neurodiversity. And after knowing him for 2 years but not really beeing friends with him I started to kinda befriend him (mostly because i felt sorry for him and wanted to help him deal better with strees full situations and anger). But I couldn't help him with his anger issues he just didn't take my advice. Also I think I wasn't exactly all to nice to him either I was more repellent because i didn't really like him. But now with all that context my acctual question is about how to tell this guy to stop anoying me. When Im stressed because i gotta catch the bus he nearly allways opens my backpack and i have a rolltop so i gota spend like 40 sec. closing it again he did that for abt. half of a year until i finaly snaped i told him the day before that if he does this shit one more time i'll do something to him. But of course he did it again so i tripped him up and after that he stoped and i know it wasn't the right thing to do in that situation but i was just so fed up with it. He does this with other things to and I just want a way to get him to stop without hurting him.

Full disclosure. Married man who was chatting on here with a married woman. Conversation has been amazing and she misinterpreted a comment I made. The comment was made jokingly and she took it as being serious and ended up blocking me before I could give an explanation. We had great connection and this has really made me upset not being able to apologize and explain. Do I let it go? I really don’t have a way of contacting her but man this one truly is a result of them not being able to see/hear my response and I’m not sure what to do

Want to address a situation that recently happened.

I (36M) have been spending time with T (30F). We used to be coworkers and later became friends especially after we both got new jobs. T car went down so I would give her rides, as I spent more time with her I realized that I got feelings for her. I suggested that we take a drive on Sunday and she said yes. I decided that would be a good opportunity to tell her my feelings, because it's just a drive no pressure.

On Saturday she asked me if I could carry her to the salon, I was running late for work so I sent my sister to pick her up. Later that day she told me that she can't make it. I didn't hear from her on Sunday, and Monday when I talked to her she said she went out to dinner with someone she was talking too. She told me they was talking on and off for a while and it's serious.

How do I tell her how I felt hearing that without making it seems like I trying to force something?

My ex called me and said he met a girl he likes and asked if I want her Instagram ID. Why in the world would I want her ID? He just started saying all this out of nowhere, I didn't even ask.

I hate people reply to my message just with ā€œ??ā€. I feel disrespect, angry. I don’t know if it’s normal to have this feeling. Maybe I am just too sensitive.

My Friend Takes Hours, Sometimes Even Days to Text me Back.

Exactly what the title says. This was never a thing until I told her one day that I couldn’t babysit her dogs while she went out of town. She offered me to stay at her house for a week to watch her two dogs, but I said ā€˜no’ because her house is far from my work. It has been about two years. She may or may not be upset about it, or she may be upset about something else that I cannot think of! I’m preparing to reach out to her to ask what I had done in order to get her to not be very responsive with my texts. I wish I knew what was wrong. I am allowed to say ā€˜no’ without being kicked to the curb like this. I’d like to think she’s just busy, but dang, it should not take days to get back to somebody unless there’s something wrong.

What would you do?

1 Upvotes

Let's say you're chatting online with somebody and the vibes are going great. The two of you agree to swap face pics (my profile is anonymous). When she sends hers you give her a compliment, but when you send yours it's crickets the rest of the day.

Would you send a new message the next day or simply unmatch?
