    I was honest with the girl I like and said im happy to be friends as she said she see's me as nothing more, and yet she calls me all the time texts me all the when I see her she is physically flirtatious pushing her tits into my arm leaning on me, and with all that! Still calls me bro! Can someone tell me why she's fucking with me like that- I don't like it.

    You cant tell tour friends who or who not they can be friends with. If you do you'd be the bad guy. If they know what that person did to you and they just dont care They are probably not that good friend of yours. Dont make them focal point of your life. Expand your social circle. Find your passion. Because the only person that should be important in your life is you.

    I had a friend who was 5/6 years younger than me but she was raised in an environment where she had to essentially “grow up” fast. I felt for her and saw she just was caught in the wrong scene and we lived down the street from each other so she always came over. She had broke up with her bf and it was her first ever real relationship and she lost her v card to him. I understand she was hurt because he did her pretty wrong but after a whole year of me listening to her about the same thing, it got tough. I didn’t want to think she was toxic, but more so just young and needs a friend. She ended up abusing mushrooms and would come over offering me other drugs, sort of in exchange to listen to her. She would end up reaching these “breakthroughs” that she’s all better and sees her worth. Then the next week it’s back to crying about how much money she spent on him and his next girl could never be half of her. It was a weird pattern. One day she stated she no longer wanted to be friends with one of my friends over something that she refused to talk it out with her. It was weird cause she came over and dropped everything that happened and how she was feeling and all I said was that I think she actually needs to stop lurking on her ex boyfriends page and getting upset all over again. It became a cycle and It took a lot out of me to let her go because I didn’t want to let her down. But if she was just gonna continue pointing fingers at everyone but a mirror, the friendship wasnt gonna work. I only wish her the best because I know her foundation was chaotic. But I can only hope that she learns accountability.

    I have a guy in my life and he always one-ups me. For instance, I just made Chicken Ragu and without saying anything else their comeback was to say that they like to cook but they make their Ragu with rabbit and nutmeg oh, and by the way I hope you didn't have to eat alone. They do this sort of thing in every conversation. If I say that I just flew to Chicago they tell me that THEY just flew to Chicago too but they flew on a private plane and stayed in a suite at The Four Seasons. Whatever it is they are always bigger, better, and more successful with it. I like your advice and will try gushing since at this point even though I want a BF this guy is just BS and I know he is pathetic and just a child so it is a game with him and I can't be serious about a relationship so he is just a lab-rat to experiment on.

    Competitive friends aren't your friends. 99% of society is narcissistic and it's pathetic to watch. Most people will power and empathy to be humble. health and fertility to the fullest and hopeful for all to do the same. Competitive people are ego driven. Saying I compete to the best of my ability is the same thing as saying I want to feel superior to others to the best of my ability. It doesn't make any sense. Competitive people are even in the churches each week. They use everything they do and everywhere in their life to serve their ego and bothered by seeing another person they don't like the comparison to. They are motivated to one up people out of insecurity and arrogance and their lack of willingness to have the respect and humility to hope the best for all and build others up. Competitive people pray on others downfall who did nothing wrong to them. It hurts their ego to watch someone do something that they don't like the comparison to based on social standard. There is no such thing as a tough competitor. All competitively driven people are ego driven. They aren't tough enough to humble. They can't be around others and respect their actions. They don't have the will power to see others actions as important as their own. Competitive people seek satisfaction from beating others and they don't want others to reach their potential. When a competitive person tries to prey on a good, humble person it does nothing to the humble person, rather their competitiveness just makes them a worse and worse person and they have no character or humility. Competitive people typically don't care for ideal ethical principles. Competitive people follow social standards and they want others to be insecure like them and compete for social standards and one up them and look for you to have a negative reaction for their narcissistic fuel. Competitive people lack intrinsic motivation and are usually washed up ex athletes who live through their players or kids and then they hate on people's kid and others in general who they can't use to take credit or associate themselves with. I've tried to reason with some competitive, ego driven, narcissists in the past and they can possibly change to become humble and empathetic, but for the most part it seems that they are unreachable in that they don't want to give up their competitiveness because they want to be competitively driven to satisfy their feelings of pride/ego when they beat someone. Competitive people can even give to charity, volunteer, have children, and earn a lot and the competitive person uses the person they are giving charity to to boost their ego and save face for their reputation. Competitive people can't be humble (do what they can and hopeful for others to do the same) because they competitive people aren't mentally tough enough to care about other people's health and overall positive productivity. Competitive people lack empathy. They use people to serve their ego by being motivated to one up others. Competitive people aren't your friends, they aren't good character people, they aren't for ideal ethics at all and they fit right with a vast majority of the population that seeks validation from others and strive for social standards with the motive to want others to underperform and for them to be better than others. They see others who did nothing wrong to them as an obstacle to being "successful" while the reality is that other your own and other people's actions are equally as important and everyone reaching their fullest ability and wanting all to be fully healthy, serviceable with their work toward their own or others health, humble, and reproductive. Competitive people seek comfort from having high social status, but the common denominator with all of them is that they are ego driven, lacking empathy, and insecure. Competitive people give people gifts, but they do it with the motive to one up others. They don't hope the best for all. Competitive person are only making themselves worse. If people see this realize the importance in living out work, health, fertility to the fullest and humble to want that for all. Each person in the world matters and great to see when someone is being humble and being all that they can be. Sports have no ethical value at all. women or men's sports have a lot of insecure people involved with them. Maximize results with work, health, and fertility and other positive decisions and do it humbly.

    I have a question. This has happened to me with two different people. It's about sending an email to someone with a couple of nice photos of attached of family or a pet or whatever just in a friendly way and having the other person respond back to the email but completely ignore the photos. And I'm sure the photos went through. One person I said, "did you get the photo?" and she said no! So I resent it and got no response again. Another person, a friend, i recently sent three photos, one of myself and two of another family member. she hadn't seen us recently and it was a nice setting and I thought she's like it. She wrote back but no mention of the photos. And I rarely send photos so it's not like I'm just sending a whole bunch over and over again. The second person also ignored one photo I sent with an email several months before, a cute photo of my cat. I find this incredibly rude. Esp. since I rarely send photos. Can't they just say, nice photos. thanks. or something to be polite? I wouldn't do that to someone and don't. In fact, both of these friends have sent me many photos and I always respond. Can you give your thoughts on this? I don't want to ask them if they got it anymore. I'm sure they did. It actually really bothers me. I mean, I think it's actually pretty mean. Anyone else had this happen? How did you handle it? thank you!

    • @MsActor2009
      @MsActor2009 День тому

      Considering they didn’t receive the photo the first time, and you don’t usually bombard them with photos or emails, I would ask them again either when you see them in person or talk to them on the phone. Also, if they keep emailing you, I’d gently ask them about it again. I’ve had something electronic happen like this before and it was a HUGE misunderstanding! Also had an issue like this and it was caused by jealousy.

      @@MsActor2009 Hi. Thank you for your response and advice. Well, I actually sent the photo the first time and when she didn't respond I asked her if she got it. She said no and to resend it so I did. I didn't get a response on that either. So do you think if this happened twice I should just assume she didn't want to respond? I have a feeling it had something to do with jealousy since I sent it twice already. The other person, I have a gut feeling she got it and didn't respond. So I'm not sure what to do but I will read your advice and again and think about it. Thank you.

    • @MsActor2009
      @MsActor2009 День тому

      Do these two people happen to both be friends with each other as well as you? It’s usually one of three things. Something electronic happened and she’s still not receiving your pictures. Something emotionally distressing happened like getting laid off at work or visit to the ER. Someone is being weird and jealous. Next time she gets back in touch, innocently say you’re worried you she didn’t receive your attachment the second time. How she responds will tell you everything about her. If it’s intentional, this person isn’t interested in a reciprocal friendship!

I usually just send him som money, but this year I don`t really feel for giving him something. He will probably not give me anything back , and he already has owed me $50 for two years. I sent him some money to buy something for me, and it was on discount and he never sent me the $50 remaining back.

    Some messages literally takes seconds responding to. They just ignore it anyway. It's like they are playing some type of game. Then all of a sudden they reach out days or even weeks later when they want to tell you something that's happened in their life. And they also want to check if you are still going to reply and why you haven't been writing anything. It's like they want power and control over you. And validation of their worth. This is straight upp narcissism and they are using YOU to feed their ego. I think that the only way to handle this is to remove them from your life completely. It's so easy to fall back otherwise in the same pattern and being disappointed. When you have a limited friend list life becomes so boring. So it's hard to let go of friends you used to get along with.
