everything's getting worse. i graduated 2 months ago, i have no clue what i want to be(come). my therapist doesn't understand me. my "friends" have never really been friends, have never known me & don't care about me. people i wrote with on here don't seem to like me anymore. everyone on tumblr has 2320 followers except me. i hate my face & my body. no one really loves me. i've never had a boyfriend (i'm 19). i feel so weird since yesterday, so so desperate, as if i'm going crazy. it scares me.

Hmm okay- firstly, which subjects have you been studying in college? Is there anything that you particularly excel in? Why are you so certain that your friends don’t care about you? Sometimes, they may not show it at all but they secretly do.  I also think that you ought to open up to them more, so that they can know and understand you better! I think it all you need to do is love yourself- it’s incredibly hard for someone to love you, if you don’t love yourself, right? You may hate your face and body, but you’ll never know if someone out there would do anything to have the features and traits that you do! I think you should really take your time with boyfriends, wait till you find someone whom you really love and care about than to search for short-term, summer flings! One, lasting relationship is always better than having many.  You don’t need to e like everyone else; you are you, remember that.  Let the time come, and believe that God has plans for you, alright? :-)

I'm bisexual. Right now I have a guy I'm interested in who likes me too but not long ago I had a crush on a girl. I haven't told anybody that I'm bi and I'm graduating soon. Part of me doesn't want to leave without people knowing the real me. But I'm scared. Do you think I should just tell one good friend and nobody else? I just don't know what to do.

I can see why you’re afraid about telling everyone the truth.  I guess it would be a nice thing to do since you’re graduating and perhaps its the best time to reveal this part of you to people.  Maybe like you said, it’s probably a better choice to just tell a few close friends if you’re feeling intruded about letting everyone know about who you really are. I also think that it’s more important that you tell this guy that you like as well, it’s best not to keep any secrets between the both of you if your friendship advances into something more, right? :-)

Good luck! x

Hi. My name's Maddie and I'm fifteen. I'm 5 foot 6 inches and my weight is 93 pounds. I'm quite contented with what I have. But, the thing is there are some girls, who keep picking on me just because I'm skinny. They told me that I have eating disorder when I'm not and they said I could've been mistaken as a boy due to my body. My body might not be as curvy as them but oh, well it's just so saddening :(

Maybe because they’re jealous of what you have and what they don’t? You know, Maddie, I’ll give anything to be as tall and thin as you are, so chances are, they’ll probably be jealous of you.  And plus, everyone wants to be skinny these days so what makes you think that they’re proud of their curvy bodies? And they’re wrong as well since most boys are muscular rather than thin, so I don’t think they’re making the right comparison there. :P

It’s okay, don’t listen to what they say, just know that there are so many other girls out there who would admire you for what you have, one of them being me. :-)

I'm a Muslim living in a word where the word "Muslim" and "Islam" is looked down upon. Islam is a beautiful religion, it's peaceful and nice and kind. Though the people outside it believe it to be a religion terrorist believe in. Islam doesn't allow one to just leave their religion because it is a large sin. One that is frowned upon by many. I don't want to leave it but at times I don't acknowledge it to many. I hate myself for doing so.

I think I can understand how you feel, but I can reassure you know that as an individual, I’m completely neutral to all different kinds of religions and beliefs, and I’m sure there are people out there who are too.  All I can really say is, people will only respect you if you respect yourself.  There’s nothing wrong with being Muslim, but I think you should be proud of yourself. Acknowledge yourself as one, and others can be left to say what they like, because there’s nothing wrong in believing what you believe, and thus other people would have no justified reason to judge you for it.  If they do, brush them aside and keep your head held high.  Be proud of who you are- people are just stereotypical, just because a hoard of terrorists believe in the same religion does not make that religion in anyway “blemished”.  Be proud of who you are, and people will respect you for that, trust me.

I knew one boy long ago, but he started to converse with me 4 days ago. He is chat with me by internet everyday and invites me to the cinema now, after only 4 days! Maybe he likes me, but I don't like him. He is intelligent, gallant and beautiful, but I don't feel comfortable while talk to him. I'm afraid that our relationships may go too far and I want us to be only friends. How to "stop" him? (I hope you understood me, sorry for my English)

Hmm, firstly, are you keen on going to this movie with him? If you’ll like to show him that the furthest the both of you can go is just being friends, then maybe you might consider turning him down and probably telling him explicitly, if need be that you don’t see this relationship enhancing into something more.  

If you’re not sure as to whether he really likes you or not, maybe leave this for a while until he explicitly shows that he has a thing for you. :-)

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the advice!! I find it extremely helpful! Just one more question. So I asked about the guy who I can't move on from. I always text him first, and sometimes he doesn't reply. Should I stop and just wait for him to text me first? Idk, I just really want closure with this guy, like I want to talk to him face to face and be like "what's going on between us?" but its hard through text and once again he's always "busy" and can never hang..I'm just really worried I'm coming off too desperate

Hmm okay, maybe you should text him first, and if he doesn’t respond to you, leave it for a few days, or maybe a week or so.  If he still doesn’t respond, then yes, I would say go ahead and ask him face to face. :)

omg you give the best advice ever! you should get an award, seriously thank you

Aw thank you so much, I hope you know how much this means to me. c:

I'm having trouble moving on from the guy I used to like. We're friends now, except we don't see each other anymore because he's always "busy". I have a feeling he is trying to get rid of me, but other times he tells me how much he misses me and how he wants to see me. I don't know what to think anymore. How can I tell if he is being real with me? Should I confront him and ask what's going on or would I sound too desperate? I know I should just move on..but how?

Hmm, have you considered the fact that he may be really “busy”? I don’t think asking him what’s going on would sound too desperate, and in fact, the best way to make sure of this is to ask him directly.  I’m sure you’ll like him to come clean so you really know how he feels right? I don’t think he’s merely trying to “get rid” of you, but perhaps he really does have a busy schedule? If you really do like him, and you know that his feelings for you are true, then why not give it a shot? Sometimes moving on isn’t just the answer, especially when you’ve grown so attached to a person, it takes time.

i like this guy for like a year now and he has been courting me too. im not yet ready for a realtionship and he knows that. but the thing is i want to be bestfriends with him first since im liking some other guys. but he is still different

Maybe you should let him know that? :-) I’m sure he’ll understand that you’re not yet sure about your feelings, and you’re not yet prepared for a relationship yet, but you’ll wish to get closer to him and understand him more! I don’t think he’ll mind it at all, just sit him down and let him know about how you feel.

I'm very obsessed with a guy from school that I have never talked, I found him very charm and I started to stalk him and I really want to talk to him but I don't know how. Please help me (sorry for my horrible english).

I can see why you’d be shy, but hey, just say something nice like “hi” and just initiate the conversation if you’d like to know him better!
