?

I met this really great person this year and we've gotten so close; it's the fastest I've ever grown so close to someone actually.

Everything was going fine and I felt like we cared equally about eachother up until maybe a few weeks ago.

It seems like she doesn't really bother asking how my day was or anything like that. It's always me asking the questions about her and our conversations are usually revolved around her. Now normally, when someone asks how your day was, wouldn't it be polite to ask how their's was?

Maybe it's just me, but I felt like she didn't care enough to ask. Not to mention that if we don't text for a couple of days, I'm always the one who has to start a conversation. In the past, it used to be both of us doing this equally.

I just really don't know where to turn anymore, because I'm starting to feel like none of my friends really care about what I have to say. I guess this is kind of a cry for help; a push in the right direction.

If anyone has any solid advice, that would be much appreciated. Thank you! :)

We've gotten really close over the past couple of months and she's the kind of person who quite literally lights up my entire day. We have the most outrageous texts, and I feel like she matches me in weirdness and really everything else. It's as if she's the same person as me. Most of our conversations aren't really "deep"; they're pretty light-hearted. But I somehow feel like we have a deeper connection. She's somehow extremely important to me. And at times if I see she's getting close to someone else, I feel a pang of jealousy.

In saying that, I just really like to hug her and like link arms, if that makes sense. It's not the same with anyone else. In fact, I'm not a touchy-feely person in general, but with her it feels almost natural. Like today, we were walking and just having a great time and I don't remember why, but I just took her hand and we held hands and it felt surprisingly nice and natural to me (it was just for a few seconds).

I wouldn't say I would do anything sexual with her, but that may be just because I'm just not very comfortable with sex in general.

Could this just be a really close friendship or could it be something else? Thanks!

We've known each other for quite a bit. I met her on a bus to camp in 7th grade and now we are both in 10th grade.

When I first met her, I was well aware of all the rumors surrounding her (her personality,attitude,actions,etc) but I chose to ignore them due to a need for someone to talk to while in camp for 2 months. She really wasn't too bad when I first met her and we became pretty good friends.

Fast forward to this year, and she's the exact opposite. I have her in almost all of my classes and that is usually more of a burden than a blessing. In my dance class, she is the choreographer for our group and she constantly called me out on the most trivial of mistakes and makes me feel inadequate. It was supposed to be a fun, relaxing class but it was anything but. Not only that, but whenever I make a point she doesn't agree with in English/in general, she always starts talking really loudly and tries to prove her point in the brattiest way possible. She makes me doubt my answer (which turns out to be correct most of the time) and belittles my intelligence. I don't like to attract unnecessary attention, although she does it anyway, so I usually back down. She's also recently been insulting me a lot. We have a class in which we design things on a computer program and I have some trouble with it, so when she's done she comes over to "help" me. By help I mean, constantly insulting me and commanding me to do things. If I try to do things my way, she gets angry and starts speaking

She's not exactly a close friend of mine, but I guess you could say we're getting a bit closer.

So we have a dance class in school, and usually me, her and our mutual friend stick together. The mutual friend is closer to her than to me. She knows English very well and so does the other girl. So we could be talking about something in English and then maybe a few seconds later, she'll switch to Arabic, which I can't understand. The other girl sometimes responds in English, but usually she also replies in Arabic.I always have this feeling that they're talking about me, because why else would they start talking in Arabic if they know English just as well as I do? It gets on my nerves so much, but I can't do much about it. How can I tell if it's about me or just regular conversation? And should I just stop letting it bother me?

It wasn't as extreme as some other cases but it was pretty scary to experience..

Basically, I was by myself, walking down the street and when I was reaching the end of it, I heard some guy/man say "Hi there, hey, hey there!" and he kept repeating something along those lines. I'm pretty sure it was directed at me, because I was the only person on the block. I didn't look at him or even say anything, just sped up and kept walking.

I never thought this would happen to me considering I'm not really anything special looks-wise.

Was this catcalling or just someone being creepy?

I've tried numerous pair of skinny jeans (both stretch and non-stretch) and they all seem to crease in the worst of areas.

Usually, it creases on my thighs, near my crotch, creating folds. It also appears on my knees and right under my behind.

I noticed that this doesn't happen too much to other people, so what's up with my jeans? Am I getting the wrong size? Or is my body just built in a way that causes these folds? Thanks!

This has been said multiple times to me and I'm starting to think it's a bad thing..

The first time, it was a comment on my Facebook profile picture and the guy said "you look too grown up, be a kid!" I wasn't wearing anything "adult-like" so I guess he meant my face..

The second time was today, there was this guy who works where I volunteer (he's about 22-25) and when I told him I was 15 he couldn't believe it. He said I looked about 20. He said it again later, saying I don't look 15 at all.

(These are only 2 times, but there's been more.) So, should I take these as a compliment or is it meaning that I don't look young and youthful? Thanks!

I love her with all my heart and we've had the best year together, but this has been a pretty recurring event lately.

During the year, when we still had school, we would have long conversations and she'd reply with just as much as I wrote (which was a lot)..

But now.. whenever I have something to tell her, she'll see it, but usually won't reply. (We text on snapchat, so the text disappears after she reads it, letting me know it's read)

Whenever she sends me a long message about something that happened (usually personal/funny/weird experiences), I always reply, regardless of how long it is. I feel like she should know I care.

But, today, my first day of work, she asked me how it was and told me to tell her everything, yet when I told her what happened (a very long paragraph), she didn't reply at all. I even asked her how she was, because I didn't want to make it all about me.

I've confronted her about it a while back, and she said that she has a lot of prep on the weekdays and she forgets to reply/doesn't have time to, but really how long does it take to write back?

It's been eating at me to the point that I'm nervous about opening Snpachat in fear of seeing that "opened" symbol, signaling that she's seen but has not replied. Should I just wait till school starts? Advice is appreciated.

Everything was working completely fine a few days, and the messages I was sending were blue. All of a sudden, my messages turned green and I know for a fact it wasn't a problem on my end because my connectivity is on and it works fine with other people I text.

I've been struggling to send one message for 2 hours now, where it keeps saying it was "Not Delivered". I don't know what's going on, because everything was going smoothly until now.

Also her contact name is now green rather than blue, but it still says iPhone next to it.

Personally, I preferred iMessage because it was much easier to send & receive and was fast. So did she turn it off or is it on my end?

There's something sketchy about there that kind of irks me. She hasn't done anything wrong or bad to me but I get the vibe that she doesn't like me very much..

Anyways, ever since my best friend met her, they hit it off, and just became very close.

My best friend and I go to the same place during the summer and this girl lives here. But this summer, things have changed. While last year and the years before that, she would always hang with me day & night, this year it's like a split between me and the other girl.

I don't have a problem with her having other friends of course, because when I see her snapchats (pictures) with other people I'm completely neutral and I don't feel any trace of envy/dislike at all. But there's something about this girl that I just don't feel is right, because whenever my best friend is with her she barely replies to me and if she does, her replies are curt. Whenever she's with her, she also acts a little different (she records videos of them together and posts them sometimes). My mom and brother have both mentioned that they feel something is a little off with that girl, so I know it's not just the envy clouding my opinion of her.

For example, today, my last day here, she made a whole plan of what we were going to do and I told her I was all up for it, after I went to the lake with my family for an hour. I'm guessing the girl texted her, and just like that, she blew off all or plans. Now she's with the other girl, painting her house with her.

So I've been wanting to change up my hair for a while now since I've let it grow out this entire year.

Currently, my hair is wavy/curly, moderately thick, and goes about halfway down my back.

My face shape is oblong and my features include: long but thin nose, prominent cheekbones, large forehead & a slightly large chin.

I'm thinking of going with side swept bangs to shorten my long face but I'm worried it will look weird with my long nose. Essentially, I want something that will shorten the long parts of my face (nose, chin, forehead).

Any suggestions are appreciated! Thank you.

Well there's this guy that I kind of properly hung out with today, with my best friend along with us. We were always kind of aware of each other's presence b never really talked. So today, my best friend and I were hanging out and he joined in and it was actually quite nice. We joked a lot, I made him laugh, we talked a lot. Basically, everything was going well and it wasn't awkward. My best friend was much closer to him than I was (she has his phone number and they text) so he would mostly talk to her and look at her. But what bothered me was that he wouldn't look at me for more than a few seconds before switching his gaze back to my friend. I felt terribly self conscious because I thought maybe he thought I was hideous. I was actually pretty comfortable with him and loud (I'm usually quiet) so maybe he thought that was weird? My guess is he was probably still getting used to me but I don't know. What do you guys think?

It used to be less of an issue in the past, but now it's pretty bad. We've been friends for 11 years, so I would say we're pretty close and everything. Saying that, I'd never really call her out any bad habits she has because I guess I'm very fond of her and our friendship and don't want to ruin it.

But as of late, every time I'm with her, whenever I'm talking or really at any point her phone rings with a text, she'll whip out her phone and respond. This isn't a one time thing either. As long as the other person (her other best friends) keep texting her, she'll keep responding.

Yesterday, it got especially bad, because she was having an argument with another friend and literally just kept texting (not listening or responding to me) her nonstop, with me just trailing after her silently. She responds to snapchats as well, taking pictures of herself in response to the person who snap chatted her. It seems like she can never just disconnect herself from the world of texting.

I'm starting to think she either finds my company uniteresting enough to text while she's with me or she doesn't notice the extent to which she is doing it. Advice please? Thanks!

I will try to keep this short, but my apologies if it ends up being a little long:

My best friend and I have been friends for just about 12 years - a considerably long amount of time. We live 2 hours away from each other, but we go to the same summer place where we have spent the last 12 years together. It's always been just me and her. However, last year, this girl moved in to this area and we got to know each other (my best friend had went away for a week at this time). Everything was fine, but I had to leave 2 days later, so we really didn't build a very close friendship. When my best friend came back, she stayed for a month, and the two got very close. They both called each other their best friend. Now, at this point, I wasn't really concerned, because me and my best friend were fine. A year later (right now), we're back in this summer place. At first, things were fine. Then, the girl (let's call her Lisa) met up with us and everything sort of shifted. The conversation between the three of us was terribly awkward and I sensed a sort of dislike from Lisa. The next two days, my best friend and Lisa hung out day in and day out. I was away the first day, but the second day, she simply didn't bother to invite me or text me about her plans. Today's the third day, and she hasn't texted me at all (even though she promised to yesterday, with an apology). On her snapchat, there's pictures of her and Lisa. I know I'm acting too attached, but I can't help but feel hurt.

Recently, I've been wanting to take some self-portraits of myself, but one of my main obstacles is my nose and the fact that it's prominent and not very attractive.

To give you a brief description:

It's long (not wide, it's quite narrow actually), and slightly crooked to one side.

Due to this, there are very few angles that can work with my nose and make it appear less long and less crooked.

Are there certain focal lengths/angles/poses that I should avoid when taking my pictures?

I am currently using a Canon 24-105 zoom lens, if it makes a difference.

Any suggestions would mean the world! Thank you!

So the person I am referring to as she is my best friend.

Recently, with tests coming up, all she has made time to talk to me about is school. I've messaged her countless times in the past week trying to change the subject, bringing up random things that have nothing to do with school and she completely ignores them most of the time.

i.e. I sent her a message today talking about how much I enjoyed rainy weather and how it was calming (yes random, i know) and expected her to respond to that. However, she just asked me "Did you finish studying?" and went ahead and asked me to send her what I used to study...

I miss talking to her about normal things. She even admitted she spent the majority of her day not studying and on her phone... which is why I'm a little confused as to why she hasn't messaged me at all and when I made an effort to, she just talked about school.

Do you think I should just wait until these tests are over and then start talking normally with her? I'm getting slightly irritated at the fact that all she seems to want to talk about or want from me is studying material. Thank you!

We've been best friends for quite a while now (almost a year) and we've had some great times. Over the course of this year, she's had different friends and so have I, but we always come back to eachother.

Anyways, there's this girl we both know.. let's call her Lily. So Lily is actually closer to my best friend at the moment, then she is to me. However, she's really nice and is quite funny and overall her personality is wonderful. I've got absolutely nothing against her.

But lately, she's been hanging around my best friend a lot. Lily and my friend, along with a group of people, go to the library every day after school to study. I never go, because I just don't like the library. So, over time, since me and my best friend rarely see each other (we have one class together), they've grown closer and had lots of great times as well.

Today, I actually came along, thinking it'd be fine and I wouldn't be left out. It turned out that they were closer than I'd anticipated. They were laughing and joking around the entire time and just really having fun. Lily is really charismatic and hilarious, as well as loud, so I can see why my friend likes her.

I don't know where I'm going with this, but I've just noticed that they seem to be having so much fun around eachother.. and when my best friend and I hung out today, it was rather calm and we didn't laugh as much.

Is there something wrong? Is there anything I can do to change it? Thanks!

I may just be analyzing this too much, but it really seems as if I've fallen into a rut- for quite a while now.

I've been feeling this way for maybe the past half year or so. I've been slowly losing interest in interacting with others, barely talking to anyone outside of my closer friends. Even with those who are close to me, I've started to become less animated and have trouble thinking of anything to say. I constantly feel like an outsider, but I feel as if I'm doing this to myself. I could start talking to others and perhaps be less like this, but I don't feel the need to go around talking anymore.

Not only that, but I've become extremely pessimistic, to the point where I've found most of my conversations with people end up being about how something is going wrong or how terribly school is going. I've lost motivation in pursuing my hobbies and tend to just believe there's no way for me to improve.

I do experience happiness and laugh and smile still, it's just a lot less than I used to. A lot of it has to do with the stress from school, but I can't help but feel like there's another factor that I'm missing here.

So, do these sound like symptoms of depression? I'm just trying to figure out where I'm at and how I can get out of this. Thank you to anyone who helps!

Two runners are moving towards eachother on a straight road. One runner is moving 1.5 times faster than the other runner. If the fastern runner is currently located at (-3,2), and the slower runner is currently located at (10,-3), at what point will the two runners meet?

Essentially, it's a straight line and each runner has a coordinate. The question is asking for a coordinate. Thanks for any help!

We actually only met this year, but we have quite a lot in common so our friendship is definitely a great one.

In the beginning and throughout the year, everything was good and all, and we had so many inside jokes and great memories. We never ran out of things to say (especially because I tend to talk a lot sometimes) and we texted each other nonstop, always being silly and whatnot.

Then, the term changed, and we only had one class together. We don't even sit next to each other, so I have barely any time to talk to her. But as time went on, I feel like I've been going down into a spiral of awkwardness. We basically talk about school stuff mostly, and at times non-school related funny stories. But it's really school-based now, more small talk-like.

She's made time to hang out with me and we do spend time outside of school talking, but I feel like we laugh a lot less and everything.

Today was actually especially bad, because we were in a group project with a few other people she was sort of friends with, and I was talking about something and I guess her attention shifted to what the other people were saying and she laughed at their joke. Then, when I saw her on the bus later, the only thing we talked about was school. And I tried and tried to think of something interesting to say (as I commonly do) but all I could think of was school-related topics.

I'm just wondering if there's something wrong and what I can do to fix it? We were very close before this month.
