"I have a friend who has gotten her first boyfriend . And it’s great I’m happy for them but the more she’s with him the more I see her slipping away and not being there for us and just being focused on him. The guy is great he’s friendly and nice but she doesn’t even want me talking to them both after school. And when my friends needed her she wouldn’t come bc she “had” to go with him.

Should I tell the guy if he was a close friend of mine even before they started dating? Keep in mind tho that the girl was one of my best friends"

"i always feel like my worth is determined by my grades. im a highschool sophomore and i just got the results from one of my tests back and i got an 87. it was a really hard test for me and i was really happy because that was similar to what my friends got. but when i went home and told my parents they said that i shouldn’t be content with just ok. i want to do better and get better grades but i want them to help me instead of hurting my feelings. i feel like no matter how hard i try it’ll never be enough.

how do i get their approval? do you have study tips?"

"My parents want me to spend more time with them, but I have so much work. I would have to sacrifice my free time to hang out with my family, but I don’t want to because it’s the only time I have to destress. What do I do?"

"I feel like I am very unlikeable. every time I enter a conversation always sense that I threw off the vibe and I feel like everyone hates me. My friends never ask if I want to hang out with them outside of school and I always hear about them going out and partying and having fun without me. I feel like that they don't actually like me and just keep me around because they pity me.

How do I become a more likable person?"

"I can’t manage my time wisely.

How to manage time wisely and be more productive?"

"I feel like I'm the only one in my school who is like me. No one else shares any opinion or interest. I'm just the outcast."

"This isn’t my problem specifically but just getting over an addiction to something or someone (not drugs)"

"I’m non-binary and I want to come out but I’m worried about how people will react and I don’t know how to. Any advice?"

Lately, I’ve been hanging out with a friend I don’t want to hang out with anymore. I thought we were best friends, but both of us have grown apart, and they’ve said and done some things that have hurt me a lot recently. I haven’t made the best choices in confronting them in the past, and I’ve apologized and learned from those. But even though they’ve screwed up too (and know it), it’s “always Nova’s fault” and after an insincere apology, they do this over and over again. Now that we’ve grown emotionally apart, I feel a lot better, until I’m talking to them, and then all of the old insecurities I felt come back.

What am I doing wrong? How do I make peace with myself and our relationship? Should I continue it or distance myself? And should I confront them?
