    1. don't turn the conversation towards yourself.
    2. don't try to fix their problem/ don't offer advise if they don't ask for it.
    3. check up on your friend
    4. don't stay on your phone/device.
    5. be honest.
    6. ask questions.

      @@littlehamham4251 Stop hanging around those people. Be a better friend, sure. But first, learn to love yourself. Do yourself a favor and surround yourself with people who love you and then be a better friend to the people who actually care about you. Because if your "friends" are talking behind your back, they aren't actually your friends. Give your energy to people who want it, and deserve it. Believe me, I used to be you.

    4. Check up on your friends (whenever you think about them)

    1:05 It's actually reverse for me. My friend says that I never talk about myself and this makes her think that I don't think of them as a friend, which is definitely not the case. The 2nd one is something I need to work on, cause I always try to help when someone tells me about a problem they have.

    #2 don’t offer up your advise or a solution.
    This is where I have a problem. I think I have the answer and it wouldn’t be cool not to help them. But sometimes I come on a little to strong and even my son says let me finish. So the message I got was slow your role and don’t react right away. Digest it and then calmly encourage them and ask .... “tell me more” instead of flipping it back to you”.
    Love the advise. Thanks

    I'm actually here because I am trying to get my friend out of an abusive relationship. Like really extremely emotionally abusive. I trying to help her get out of that I was watching RUclips to find d signs and I related to many of them in the sense that I had been emotionally abused my best friend. Me and her have been friends for three years and it hasn't always been like this. I used to be a great friend but recently I've been a terrible. I don't think it's fixable between me and her.. she doesn't even realize I'm doing it but I do. I want to change and be able to be a good friend one day. Sorry this was ranty. I just needed to get this off my chest. ♡

It’s all in good heart but I can understand now how that can push them away or not feel comfortable when talking to me. 🥲thank uuu!🌸

I mostly always tell my friends more what they want to hear, not what they need to. I do as well try to always give advice as much as I can instead of fixing their problems and coming up with an 'ideal solution', because in reality, there is no perfect result to any scenario.

    I feel like i made ourselves distant. I moved to another city, but i was afraid to share the info so i just mentioned before i actually did. we were on good terms even that happened, but in the last 1-2 Years we became more distant, i did not enjoy going to the pub anymore. I did not enjoy going to the club, but i went together. Sometimes i feel like i am alone and i screwed up a friendship, even if we have a lot of different ways of thinking. Honestly i miss talking long hours but lately if meet only for 1 hour. I do understand we are on different paths now. I feel guilty of making a friend distant. Friend has renewed frinedships, I also have some new, but i do not feel like I have so many to hang out with or more importantly to talk about problems, thoughts. I feel like i might need to upgrade myself to make them stay.

    Great advice but just make sure that when you're being honest not to be rude or mean about it. if they ask for your opinion try to be honest but kind and supportive as the truth can sting sometimes. Also, it's best not to mention something they can't change in a few minutes (acne, weight, personality trait, etc.) everyone wants to feel happy and supported. I hope this was helpful and I hope all of you are having a great day/night! :)

I’m in a group of 5 and two of them we just met this year and I feel like I’m not good enough for them, they love my other two friends but I feel like I’m the outcast. My other friend that I’ve known since kindergarten, my mom says I need to be careful with her. My neighbors are amazing they are my only friends that I think actually like me and want to build our friendship closer

    At this point I don’t think I’m the problem anymore, I’m getting sick and tired of her. Everytime I talk about how I’m upset all she responds with is “wow” “o” “okay” I know it’s not her job to make me feel better but I thought that she would atleast try to since everytime she’s upset I always do my best to make her happy instead of responding with the same letters. Literally once I was so upset and all she cared about was how she got something in a game. Then she calls me manipulative but then starts talking about how she loves me and wants to kiss me? She makes me so confused and she ignores me for hours until her other friends are busy and she has nothing better to do so she talks to me

    Looked up this video after my friend got a boyfriend. We're all online friends, so this happened over discord and whatsapp.
    Basically, Mark had a guy over at his house, and they were together while we (William, Mark and I) were playing dbd, and so I started talking a lot of garbage to Mark because he shouldn't be playing games with his friends while he as a date over, right? Being a wingman.
    I, a lot of the times, prefer calling people names that aren't cuss words just to keep the atmosphere lighter, and recently, I've been using the word "doente" (sick) to refer to people when I'm cussing them out, and Lucas (Mark's new bf) heard me and started questioning Mark about his physical health, as we are in a pandemic. And so, without missing a beat, William and I started *very obviously* joking about Mark's health, saying he had a bunch of STD's and the Coronavirus itself, and it was pretty funny, and a very obvious joke, since Mark is completely healthy, and we were making fun of him for being gross and unsanitary, even though he isn't.
    But the problem started when Lucas *believed* the jokes to be truthful and got mad at Mark, thinking that he actually had transmissible infections and not telling him about them before they got intimate.
    But like... It was so clear that we were making stuff up on the spot, we even mentioned the spanish flu-
    Anyway, they started dating yesterday even though Lucas has some serious trust issues.
    Earlier today, Mark sent us an audio clip of Lucas talking about how he (lucas) doesn't want William and I to "insult him like that" or "mistreat him" even though were such good friends that we are comfortable with jokingly insulting each other like that from time to time...
    Looked this video up to see if I'm wrong in this situation.
