Am I Being A Bad Friend

Am i a bad friend?

Depends how many other friends the friend has got.
Not so bad if there are plenty of others.
But if the friend hasn't got many other friends & is more keen on having you there than just having a bit more food, then yes, that's being a bad friend.
You could always go for part of the party but not all of it.

Why am I such a bad friend?

You say your heart feels like it is shut off. Maybe it's just numbed as by asking this question you must have some hope for a future with better relationships.

You sound like you believe at least to some degree that most or all the break downs were your fault.
Are there things you or they could've done differently? Sure, but there's no point thinking about it now unless it's to change your future.

You know one thing that will definitely happen if you become one of those 'blessed people in a cemetery' you mentioned? You will no longer have a chance at a nice life.

Sure it sucks when your relationships break down with family. However there are lots of good people out there. Just do your best to find them once your ready. Remember to be open to it and not to project previous relationships onto new ones.

Hey, if it doesn't work out. You've been through it before and should be more prepared for it. You're 19 too so you have plenty of time to turn your life around. Giving up is always out of fear. If you're not afraid of death then why should you be afraid of life?

Look for the signs of incompatibility in people if they are there and make sure they're real. You've been hurt badly and you even said yourself it's just a matter of time before things go bad with any new friends you get. Treat every new relationship as what it is. A new start.

I know this probably sounds like feel good crap. But it is your right as a human being to live a happy life. Go out there and find it.

Am i a bad friend?

well my friend and i like these internet sensations, they do vine videos and stuff. i used to only be attracted to one guy, nash and my friend lauren had a thing for this guy cameron. i started watching their videos and i began to realize camerons personality is so much sweeter than nash's. so i told my friend i like cameron now, and she started flipping out on me and i told her, "do you really think he'd choose me over you anyways?" and she said, "ANYTHINGS POSSIBLE!" I know I dont have a single chance with any of them, I mean they have tons of fans and stuff. But am I a bad friend because I switched favorites? It's kind of ridiculous asking this, but am I?

What do i do? Am i a bad friend?

ok. So here's the story. (all names have been changed) a month ago I reported this girl who has been bullying me for 3 years. It was hard to do but i couldn't live with it anymore. So anyways i reported ashley and i tried to deal. But my bestie aoife had helped her. I was hurt and betrayed when i saw her do that on the cameras. I didn't talk to aoife for a week. until the councillor brought us both in and made us. As usual aoife did nothing wrong and the cameras were wrong. As usual i stupidily forgave her. Barely two hours later she made it obvious she wanted to be friends with ashley even if that ment we couldn't be friends (even though ashley had dumped her half a year ago for going out with jerermey and although ashley and her friend natalie had been horrid to me i had stuck by aoife) aoife knew i needed her and she just dumped me. That friday my other friends ella and matt (jermeys bestie and my other bestie) were in the car for a spin and a chat (their in different schools so i only see them on the weekend). I told them the story and matt told me aoife was telling everyone i abandoned her! he said i was obvious that i didn't because she just went back to her old friends but still! 
Well its a month and a half later and i'm dealing with it but i feel horrible for having matt in an awkward situation with me and jermey because jermey blames me and i keep bursting into tears around aoife. 
What do i do? (and i should probs mention that i really like matt as more then a friend so i want the best for him but thinking about losing him makes my heart hurt :/)

Is this a bad friend? Or am I overreacting?

I have this friend I've known since grade school. I was his best man in his wedding. We've always been cool.
Problem is, his wife deletes girls off his facebook page, including my girlfriend. I take offense to it, because I want to know what the deal is. I approached his wife about it and she said she didn't do it. So a year later it happens 2 more times. My friend admits that it is his wife that does it. Apparently shes on his facebook often. Keep in mind, there is nothing between my friend and my girlfriend. We barely ever talk to his wife, because she doesn't want to talk to us.
I approach my friend and he just shakes it off and says, "Just let my wife be. It's all good. She gets like that sometimes." So I tell him, "you don't need to add her again if this is going to keep happening."

Am I overreacting? Because I plan on marrying her one day, but I don't want to be around this drama they cause.
She can't even apologize to us or explain to us that it's not a big deal.

Am i a bad friend because I'm jealous?

Being jealous is normal, how you act on it is what's important.

That said, usually jealousy means you're insecure about yourself somehow. Concentrate on you and what you HAVE. What are your strengths? What do you like to do? What are you good at? What makes you special?

Don't let society tell you what's important -looks, boys, etc. What is important to you? What is beautiful to you?

When I was in college, I asked a girl friend if she was going to the movie that night. She replied she would go if she could go with Peter, Harold, Greg, Bill, or Steve, but if they couldn't go, she wouldn't. I was so hurt because I wanted to go with her. I told her it sounded like she just wanted to go with a guy and didn't care about the movie at all. That moment was very significant in our friendship and it made her wake up. It hurt her a lot to hear it and it hurt me to say it, but it was good in the end. We became great friends and were maids of honor at each other's weddings. That comment could have had the opposite effect, but I was willing to not be friends if it did.

Find something you're good at and enjoy doing. Get involved in that and you'll do well and the guys will come when the time is right. I know several people who are happily married that never dated in high school. Don't worry.

If your friend ask a pair of jeans and you give him the brand new one, you are a bad friend.If you go out for a meal and you propose to pay the bill, you are a bad friend.Your friend comes to you and ask lets go, you say 'where?' You are a bad friend.You both like the same girl and you say i'll back down, you are a bad friend.Your friend pulls a prank on you, and you get upset instead of plotting a revenge then you are a bad friend.Your friend asks his crush's no. and you didn't give him the the grumpiest lecturer's no. then you are a bad friend.Your friends plan to break into girls hostel and you say you need to prapare for test tomorrow, you are a bad friend.Your friend is working on a project and you decide to help instead of munching snacks infront of him, you are a bad friend.Your friend calls you at 3AM to tell you he has decided to bunk the morning class and you say you understand, you are a bad friend.Your friend got 100+ upvotes on quora and you don't ask for a treat, you have a heavy, dark, twisted, evil soul. P.S. If somebody says 'Let's do drugs' then stare him like crazy, say you're vegetarian and move on. Say No to Shit.

I am inadvertently rude. If I am super stressed and somebody tries to talk to me, even when I have my headphones on, the tone of my voice shows my displeasure. That's one reason I make very few new friends.I like my personal space. I do not like spending extended periods of time with the same person. After a one hour talk, if I again bump into the same person, I would groan internally.I think every new male friend will hit on me. So I try to avoid going for drinks or movies with new friends. Which means it remains a superficial friendship with no chance to flourish. I feel this is a big problem which I need to fix quickly.I do not do small talk and ask what's up. This leads to me having no idea as to what is happening in my friends' lives, other than the fun we have.I cannot stay in touch. I do not like to phone old friends or text them regularly. Sometimes I text a lot with a friend one day out of the blue, and then they wouldn't hear from me for ages after that. I cannot sustain conversation for extended periods of time. It just drains me.These are all the issues I have realised as the reasons behind me having very few friends. On the other hand I have a LOT of acquaintances because those do not need the same effort it takes to maintain friendships.I am working on these issues slowly and steadily. I apologise to my friends if I realise I have been rude without cause. But even then, the responsibility of maintaining a friendship feels a bit too much for me. Hopefully I'll soon figure out a way to solve this problem.

Am I being a bad friend? I feel so guilty...help me.?

You are who you are and if your friend likes you must be doing something right and if you change you risk not taking your friend along with you.  Be yourself and don’t worry about impressing anyone.Upon finding out that I’m a psychologist many people I meet will half joking, or nervously ask if I’m going to analyze them and my stock reply is I don’t work after hours and only work when I get paid.  In short I’m not into my role after hours and have no wish to be anyone but myself.  I contribute a couple of thousand hours a year—gratis  while working and have no desire to continue my workload when I get off.I’m horrible at interpreting other people and don’t bother unless as a professional courtesy or if I’m asked by another clinician.  Other than that It’s not in my best interest or anyone else’s to “try and figure anyone out.” People  I meet in my private world tell me that I look like a psychologist but I don’t act like one.  That’s a good compliment that I thank them for.Whether you’re a student or a judge,  you’re uniquely human and your youth confers on you much to be desired.  The richest man in the world would gladly trade all his riches for a chance to go back and relive the joys of youth.Everyone has an identity that confers on them a unique status, no matter their job or whatever prestige they’ve acquired.Thanks for the request.
