The unavoidable friend I don’t think this is a matter of how social this friend is, really. I know that’s a plausible theory, but some attitudes point to other underlying reasons for this friend’s intrusiveness. Some people can’t see t

Woman wonders how to stop overly social friend from inserting herself into every plan she makes with other people: ‘Sometimes she’ll even message the other person directly or show up after getting the details from me’

Bridesmaid spends over $1,500 for her friend’s wedding, but gets left out of photos, unnamed in the speech, and iced out on the big day

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about when it’s the right time to express ourselves. Sometimes, a problem arises, and we speak too quickly, at a time when everyone involved is defensive and nobody understands what’s really going on. Other times, we decide to speak when it’s too late, and we hurt someone for a long time with our sile

Woman abruptly ends a friendship over a comment from social media. After some time, the friend wonders why she never spoke to her about it: ‘I just accepted that we had become more casual friends. But instead of saying that, I made up some dumb excuse.’

Woman gets upset at the guy she's dating because he acts nice when they are alone but condescending when he's with his friends, now she doubts if he's sincere: 'Am I blowing his banter out of proportion?'

When friendships consist of trios, it’s only natural that sometimes two of the people involved team up and the other gets left out. I’m not saying it’s ok; I’m saying it happens. I have many long-term friendship trios that have evolved in many ways through the years, sometimes leaving me out, sometimes leaving somebody else out, and sometimes being

20-year-old woman ghosts friend after she compares her to a bad ice cream flavour: ‘Once you try it, you kind of start to like it. And it has all of these layers like it's deeper than you thought, but you have to learn to like it.’

Closure is a funny thing; it’s never entirely clear to us what we are trying to find when we’re looking for it. Oftentimes we want to express our side of the story before we let go of the other person completely; other times, we’re secretly hoping to reignite a friendship or a past love affair; but every time it’s a

Man wonders if reaching out to an ex-best friend for closure is worth it after three years of no contact: ‘I feel like doing that might help me finally let her go completely and close that chapter on a good note’

Guest unexpectedly brings girlfriend to dinner party, flips out when host offers her frozen meal because there isn't enough steak and lobster: 'I didn't have extra food'

Friendships are something most people want, yet not as many people make an effort to find and maintain them. It’s a tough subject because socially, we assume it's something people should naturally know how to do, and I’m starting to think many people fail at it because it doesn’t come as naturally to everyone.

Man wonders whether people are putting less effort into maintaining friendships, or whether people don’t want to be around him: ‘They always say “we need to hang more”/“we need to do this again soon!” and then they never reach out to set something up’

I never thought baking delicious brownies could be implemented as a revenge tactic. Being 100% honest, I don’t even think the people who ate them understood it as such, but I’ve now got to a way deeper realization: Maybe the only one who needs to feel the revenge worked is the one who did it.

Student cooks delicious brownies as revenge against annoying teammates: ‘Even years later, I occasionally get a message from a group member asking for the recipe. I ignored them all’

Girl refuses to give her friend a paid concert ticket after the friend demands control over the guest list and threatens to skip the show: 'She decided the plans were hers'

As we get older, we realize that being part of a group often costs money. We have to go for drinks, we celebrate birthdays, and we have dinner parties. On birthdays, we buy gifts, drinks cost money, and dinners are expensive, even if they are hosted by a friend of ours. For some people, it’s very hard to assume you don’t have that much money, and they’d rather fake it ‘til they make it.

Man exposes friend who always expects someone else to cover her bill during dinner parties: 'Before ordering, I quietly asked if everyone was okay paying for their own meals. Everyone agreed'

The much-feared group projects Back when I was in college, I had to work in groups all the time, and many of these things happened to me. And I suppose they happened to anyone who went through any sort of formal education.

College student is forced to do a group project in which nobody does anything so she decides to get revenge: 'I let the excruciatingly silent seconds drag on every single time, looking slowly to both of them with each question and taking my sweet time'

This story is the final proof that no absolute narrative exists; two people can have two opposing interpretations of what happened, and most of the time there is no use in trying to convince one of them otherwise.

Woman thinks her best friend of ten years is in love with her, friend says she is not and she doesn't believe it: 'Now, years later, I still question myself. Was there something I was unconsciously feeling and suppressing?'
