Has anyone had a close friend cut them off for no reason?
I've had someone cut me off yes. I'm sure that they had their reasons to do it. What bothered me about it, was the fact that they wouldn't even try to discuss or fix the situation, even though “I” not only apologized, I also tried 2 more times to contact them to fix it, and was told…leave me alone.So, out of respect for them…that's exactly what I did. I left them alone.Friends have disagreements. Friends will argue. But if you can't compromise or talk to eachother, or agree to disagree…what's the point of being friends? Maybe they never thought of me as a friend.If you can't do that with a friend, what would you be like in a relationship or a marriage? Unable to handle problems when they arise.So, yes I have had that happen to me, from someone that I considered a close friend to ME. The sad part was that we had never argued like that before, and it just took that one situation to happen, to just STOP all communication between us. And I hold the blame for all of it, on MYSELF. I caused it to happen. And one day, I hope he understands why someday, if we ever speak again.
Does anyone actually regret telling their close friend that they like them? All I hear from people is I wish I had told him/her sooner.
I hugely regret it.If someone is friends with you and they don’t show signs of wanting your relationship to become romantic, it’s a major risk to share your feelings.You are risking incredible awkwardness, a forever-changed friendship, and plummeting self-esteem as you watch from the friend position as they date other people.I say, exercise extreme caution and protect yourself.
Has anyone ever had feelings for a close friend of the opposite sex? (I’m male) and then slept with them? Did it ruin the friendship or lead to more? Was it everything you thought it would be or did it blow the friendship apart? How did it end up?
I had a situation exactly like this not long ago. We live in different cities and see each other rarely.Once he came to my city and I decided to kiss him because omg wanted him for so long. We had sex and it was amazing. Just imagine how it is when you really feel strong affection to someone and always want to touch them. I remember every word he said and every touch till now.In the morning, he told we can’t date. So we decided to keep being just friends. But he came back to his city and we started talking less often. Then he promised he would come to see me again but he won’t. So I’m not asking about this anymore.In my case, I think it changed our friendship in a bit worse way, but can’t say that we were talking every day before. What I’m sure about is that I definitely don’t regret what happened.
Has anyone ever gotten out of the friend zone?
I friendzoned my current boyfriend for 3 years and now we've been dating for 5 month so i guess he got out (; Well he started to kind of ignore me so i wanted him and all the things he did and say, i mean we were close before dating so when youre that close to someone over the years you start to like him as more than a friend. I think the key to get out is to be close to this person and this person must be interested a little in you, you know just talk to her on daily bases then after a while ignore her = she'll come back running to you:p
Has anyone had any experience with a really close friend attempting suicide? What should I do?
I'm glad that you want to take care of your friend. I'm no expert, but I can try to give some advice from my own experience. Be aware, though, that if you're not very close friends, she might not accept your help.If she does, be prepared for it to take a while before you see any improvement. One conversation, or even one weekend, isn't enough. My college roommate was near suicidal for about a year and a half. He seems to be recovering within the last few months, and I like to think my involvement in his life played a small part in that.In fact, the recovery process should take a while. If someone who was suicidal suddenly says they feel better, it's often a warning sign that they've decided to go through with it and kill themselves. That decision can offer some measure of relief. (Or at least, that's what I've been taught by someone with a lot more experience than I have.)What you should do depends on what your friend is like. If you can go visit her and do things that she enjoys, or go to one of her favorite places, that would probably help. If not, just a phone call will help.If she opens up to you about how she feels, try to be accepting and not judgmental. She's probably somewhat ashamed of herself, and she could shut down very quickly and stop talking to you if you criticize her harshly. Depression and suicidal thoughts are not so much a character flaw as a disease.I hope that helps. Good luck!
Have you ever cut a "close" friend off? Why and how did you do it?
I was sick for two weeks as in praying for sleep contemplating death. After that he said he liked a movie and I was taken aback the movie degraded women. I said I didn’t. He said he was so hurt his family would have to take action. Last time he took action I never recovered. It was enough to realize this just isn’t going to work. Well I guess I have to round up his gifts and donate them. I have to watch old movies and eat whole bags of cookies, not like I have no experience in that. It sucks.
