Long story short, I confessed to one of my closest guy friends (Very poorly might I say because I wasn't taking it seriously), panicked and said I was just playing, became serious again, then said it was a dare (With proof of texts so it was believable). Afterwards he seemed normal in the conversation after but then he suddenly won't respond to any of my messages but he picked up when I called him but hung up on me when I asked if he was mad at me. I told him to just tell me what to do, if he wanted space or not and to let me know what he's upset with me about, but he didn't respond to that either. The only times he's interacted was the call and when I asked if I did something he said "yes". What am I supposed to do now? It's been a week since the confession and 2 days since the call. Oh and I'm his only girl-friend idk if that helps or changes anything

Hi, teenager here. I'll kind of get straight to the point: My mom is making it very hard for me to make friends and maintain friendships, as well as being able to give the normal teenage girl life. I'm not allowed to have a phone, no social media (Like Instagram, Tiktok, etc.), she gets pissed whenever I text my friends because I should be doing work or spending time with family and getting off the screen. Another thing is that I'm never allowed to go out. Like never. My friends always try inviting me to things over the weekend, to hang out or eat, but my mom think it's dangerous or thats what the "bad" kids do. She says the good kids stay home and don't need to go out, they don't go to the mall or the nearby plaza. I was fine with it before since I got used to saying no to hangouts already, but recently she's told me to stop hanging out with them alltogether. She says it's bad how they have so much free time and go out all the time, but she's the one who told me to try to find and stick with a group of friends for future years. I thought I finally found my friend group with close friends and where I'm happy but now she's taking them away from me.

I love my mom, I know she's trying to look out for me and wants the best for me, but it's seriously been getting on my nerves. I want to live like a regular teenage girl and have fun. I know you may say to try talking to her, but I have and it always just leaves to her getting pissed about how I'm changing now and guilt-tripping me. What do I do?

thank you for listening : )

I was talking to him last night and I texted, "I like you" He immediately said "Gng what" and I sent a period. Several minutes later after no response I said "Yo chill. I'm js playing dw" and he immediately said "Bro what. What r u even talking abt" I said "I wasn't serious" but a few minutes later I decided to tell him "I have a crush on (My nickname for him)" No response. 15 minutes later - "May I have a response now" Nothing. "You're talking to ur frnds now abt this aren't u" Nothing. 10 minutes later - "Gang if u dont like me just reject me its not that hard"

That last next was sent a lil after midnight and I went to sleep right after. I just woke up (8:00am rn) and no response. I'm actually fried. Is he gonna ignore me, or say something. Our friends ship up alot so idk if he's going to actually tell any of his friends but I can't have it getting out. Nobody knows I like him. If he rejects me should I say it was a dare? BRO WHAT DO I DO THE SILENCE IS KILLING ME HELP

He just posted a story with him in that pink lovely dog snapchat filter and he's holding up a lil heart with his thumb and pointer finger and he's sticking his tongue out a lil and he looks so fking good and so cute I can't. So he wants me to die. Of cuteness. Frick man. I'm supposed to be mad at him too.

ifykyk

I've asked what's his type before and he's said "Uh idk, pretty, kind, loyal, Asian" He's told me before that I'm "Kind, helpful, thoughtful, and smart" and so I brought up a fake girl and started asking him questions that "she" was asking him. The questions were more about what he prefers in a girl and stuff and he was lowkey getting interested and wanted to know who she was.

We get shipped together alot by our friends again, but he doesn't like me. He doesn't like me and he cares so much about this mystery girl yet I'm right in front of him. I feel like he likes my personality maybe but not my looks. I see the girls he used to like and I get so jealous of how pretty they are, while I'm just.. Not enough

I was texting him about something and I knew he was out riding with his friends (He owns an ebike) so I didn't want to divide his attention or something. I ended out convo saying, "True. Go to ur lil riding thingy. I'll text u later" and he replied with, "How the hell do u know" to the riding comment and.....

"No don't text later. I have a solid twenty mins still" (Typing, deletes, typing, deletes, etc. He ends up not sending anything) I read it and I have read receipts on but I didn't respond. 15 minutes later, he sends another text, "Ok nvm" And I didn't open it. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME HE'S ACTUALLY WANTED ME TO STAY AND TALK TO HIM. AND TWENTY MINUTESSSSS?? AND HIS FRIENDS ARE WITH HIM. UGHHHHH I'm crushing too hard now. Frick, I wasn't supposed to like him bro. We're close friends and I'm him only girl-friend it's supposed to be platonic...

I like him, he likes my friend. I'm helping him with my friend (Because I'm a good friend and he's been liking her for so long I know I don't have a chance either way), he said he'd try his best to help me with whoever I like. I said I like "One of his friends". What the heck do I do. I've also been like complaining and saying I'm scared to him about my crush and he wants to know who it is now, (I know, it's kind of my fault...)....

We're both really good friends and I'm his only and closest girl-friend. We get shipped together alot so the prospect of dating isn't new but we always automatically brush it off whenever someone makes a comment since we both think we don't like each other (Little does he know...) Ughhh

Should I just move on? Or confess and see what he says if he rejects me I'll say it was a joke or something (I'm just worried he won't ask me for help anymore with his crush because I really do want to help him)

I like him, he likes my friend. I'm helping him with my friend (Because I'm a good friend and he's been liking her for so long I know I don't have a chance), he said he'd try his best to help me with whoever I like. I said I like "One of his friends". What the heck do I do.

I know I might be a little too young for this subreddit (I'm a teenager), but I was at school today and I was walking ahead of my classmate when they just told me "Hey, those shoes are cleannn (Slang for looks really cool)" I genuinely lit up because I barely talk to him and yet he noticed and wasn't afraid to give me a compliment. And yesterday, I had my orthodontist appointment, when a lady was taking her kid for braces and we made eye contact. I could tell she was stressed, so I gave a small smile to her and she smiled back and looked a little less tense. It made me happy to know that I helped her in some way, even though I didn't "Get anything in return"

I know these may be small things, but they genuinely made me feel a little lighter, especially with all the stress going on in my life right now. So I encourage you to go out and do something small for someone - You never know what they're going through and how it may affect them 😄

I have a guy friend who's friendship is simply platonic but he's actually so finee (Just to be clear, yes I do actually DO NOT like him, I'm helping him with his crush right now). I'm wondering if this is normal or weird to think this way?

I can't be the only one not able to find someone to like....

I've been exhausted mentally and this past month has been so bad and sad, I really don't know what to do anymore. I try to keep up the happy façade in school, but lately it's been slipping off and it's showing. People have started noticing and asking if I'm okay but whether or not I say yes or no, or open up, all I hear is "Ohh, I see." or "Sorry to hear that." and that's it. No comfort, conversation, follow up, or anything that helps, so I've stopped opening up.

I also feel like I've been the only one putting true effort into friendships now. Nobody texts me first anymore unless it's about school work and the one person who I've been reaching out to and I feel most comfortable talking to has started ignoring me and my problems too. It just feels like I'm annoying him.

I have lots of friends, but they're all surface level and no deep connections. My closest friendships are fading away and nobody is showing the level of care I need. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if people just don't care anymore. It's gotten to the point where I don't even reach out anymore, because it feels so pointless. I'm just dumping all my problems on them. At the same time, I also want care that's UNprompted. I feel kinda selfish for feeling that way but I don't know... I'm tired of feeling like this.

Has anyone else dealt with this? How do you handle it?
