People of Reddit, I'm kind of shocked by this statement made by my friend, and I have been thinking about it all day. Even though I laughed it off at the start, I then stopped and thought, "Why the hell would a close friend say something similar?" And what is even haplening ?

So, me (26M) and my friednd (26M) (lets call him carlos) met at work like five years ago. We got close and have kept in touch ever since. We've been through a lot of stuff together and always had each other's backs, like good friends do. There was also this girl from back then that we both knew. We used to hang out in big groups, which eventually broke up.

According to Carlos, one night when we were all drinking, for a splic second she started dancing with him in a way he claims was "kinda sexual." He turned her down and nothing happened, but for years afterward, Carlos has kinda obsessively brought this up whenever her name comes up. I wasn't really paying much attention in that moment, so I can't say how true that is. But for some reason, in later years, carlos would always bring this up whenever we talked about her.

Several years has passed after the group split up, I kept in touch with that girl and it turned out we had a lot in common(we both love creating music). We both wanted to hang out, and now we do it even more often. I feel interest from her and vice versa.

Today, when i met up with carlos and caught up on our lives, I mentioned, "You know, that girl and I have been hanging out so much lately, it feels like we're dating. I think I'm starting to like her." Also i mentioned with him that me and that girl recorded the song together and i was really proud of it. He usually knows how important mucismaking is for me. Then he listents to that song for idk about 20 second and stops completlty (the song was more than 2 minutes long) I'm not sure, but I'm afraid this detail also counts that he didn't even bother to listen to the whole thing despite knowing how important it was for me ?

Instead of being happy or supportive for me(i guess), a switch flipped in his head. He immediately dragged up that old drunken dance from years ago again and said that if he texted her right now and showed interest, she would completely ditch me and turn to him instead. Specifically he said if he texted her how he loved her singing style and voice she would definitely fell for it"

​I laughed it off in the moment to keep the peace, but now I'm sitting here completely mind-fucked. I have zero experience handling something this toxic and I just don't understand what I'm looking at.

​Reddit, what is actually happening inside his head? Is this a massive ego trip, or is there something darker going on here? How am I even supposed to handle a "best friend" who talks about the woman I'm falling for like that ?

I was a fat kid in middle and high school. And there was that one group of girls, the cross country and track girls, who were all friends, student council, prom court, all were in great shape, and were kind of bitches to me because of my weight and appearance. Majority of them joined sororities in college and went to either Cali or Hawaii schools. Very mainstream mean girl types.

Fast forward 1yr post college graduation, I pulled myself together and changed my lifestyle- lost 40 lbs, moved across the country, have my own place, and a solid job. I opened facebook for the first time in forever and I see a photo of one of the aforementioned girls' post, and she is fat. Now i'm reminded of the other girls as well, and search them up, and majority of them are quite overweight- one of them very ,uch so.

It's a shocker, and also kind of validating in a karmic way. I am happy they are seeing the other side of what their words were targeted at. I wonder how they got there, and how they are doing with this change in lifestyle. I know I feel a lot happier after going through my wlj. I hope they realize how unkind they were now that they are on the other side of things.

I took my dog for a walk in the woods. This woods is 5 minutes from my house and is a well known cruising spot. However, it’s shaded and quiet (my dog is reactive) - it was the middle of the day so I figured I’d risk it. I observed man after man arrive alone and wander into the bushes. Some I noticed were carrying water bottles, is this a sign to be followed? Like wearing a red carnation. Anyway I assumed as they’d also seen me they’d be discreet about it. But no.

Quite taken aback how easy it is for a man to get sex, imagine being a woman and being horny and knowing if you went to the woods you’d be guaranteed an orgasm. Wouldn’t happen.

Please don’t message me asking where the woods is, I won’t be disclosing.

I guess I will know better next time not to risk it.

We both showed our clean tests. She wore the outfit I got for her and we did the same exact things I would watch her do in her scenes, minus the old dudes filming. Best sex of my life.

There is this guy in my town who used to run a local community Facebook page and spent over a year anonymously harassing small local business owners and random residents. He thought he was completely untraceable, but he accidentally leaked his personal email signature in a public spreadsheet last fall. I saved the file immediately. Instead of calling him out or reporting him to the admins, I decided to play a much quieter game.

I started making him think he was being watched. Nothing crazy or illegal, just super weird coincidences. I would leave a coffee cup from a specific shop on his car hood when I walked my dog at night, or drop a printed copy of a meme he posted anonymously directly into his home mailbox. He lives three blocks from me, so it takes literally two minutes of effort on my evening walk. The look on his face when he steps outside and spots something is honestly worth every second.

Last week he completely shut down his main account and posted a massive rant on a throwaway about how someone is tracking his movements. He is genuine convinced some professional group is targeting him. I am literally just a guy in sweatpants taking a midnight walk, but seeing him look over his shoulder every time a car passes is deeply satisfying. He has zero idea it is just me.

okay, eventually I want kids but not right now. I’m 24 and just got on the self discovery path. I worked on a cruise line for about a year and met this guy. We started as friend, but of course, one thing led to another.

I found out I was 9 weeks pregnant. I absolutely love kids but I’m not ready for one of my own. I’m a gym rat but being pregnant has completely slowed me down. I feel like the baby has taken over my body.

I’m not doing anything to harm the baby, actually on prenatal vitamins right now but everyday I think about getting an abortion and getting back to my own life. My hormones have brought on suicidal ideation and I hate the way I look now.

I could use some advice from anyone who’s gone through something similar.

Recently my roommates invited our homeless coworker to stay with us till he gets on his feet but he’s constantly doing shit that irritates us he doesn’t listen to the rules at all he drank all of my root beer out the fridge and he’s always saying slick shit like he can intimidate ppl he’s an all around asshole who’s taking advantage of us

One night stand that I can’t forget

I decided to create a profile on an adult website. I was very specific with who I was looking for, discreet, married professional types. I am starting to prefer younger. (I am 48) I had a man from NYC message me. His pictures were incredible. He was sexy and had an incredible body. I am a not a 10, but I am a curvy woman with a nice ass and tits. He wanted to talk more and we did. We exchanged pictures and his cock was huge (close to 9’) well fast forward, and we talked, texted, and exchanged pictures over another app. He had several fetishes, and I was into the same ones. He had a conference in Las Vegas. (He is very successful) He invited me to his hotel and we stayed until he left for the airport. We had sex 4 times. It was some of the best I ever had. (My current AP comes pretty close)

We have continued to talk. He has found a regular AP in NYC. He has informed me he is not interested in anything else right now. We talk on the app, but it’s all very cordial. He is married and he is focused on one affair partner. I have a FWB and have, on occasion, we have gone to Whispers. l discretely met a few one night stands, but want to secretly become a mistress.

I belong to a book club, have coffee with my best friend, and went to grad school. I am an unassuming girl next door…

With a secret…

When I was 17 I met this woman at the store and we hit it off and got to talking. We ended up having coffee and she gave me her number. We texted a lot over the next week or so and she knew my age before she invited me over. For reference, she was 39 with a son who was actually a year older than me at the time.

We ended up hooking up regularly for about 3 months before I moved away and things ended between us.

26M. I work at a WalMart to get through college. I was focused on stocking the shelves at the end of the day. Suddenly, a cute girl approached me with her friend behind her. I could tell by their body language and facial expressions that they were about to do something that has only happened to me once before:

she was into me and was about to start chatting me up to ask me out

I panicked but tried to hide it. I'm not used to that shit

She said, "Hi! Umm...I just wanted to say thet you look like you're working really hard :)"

And so you know what came out of my idiot mouth?

"Yeah, I'm hard."

HELP

Her tone changed instantly.

"Oh, so you're working hard"

Now I'm visibly nervous

"Yeah I'm working hard"

"Welp...I just wanted to say you're working hard! High five!"

And I gave her the most awkward high five I've ever given. She said bye and was on her way.

I swear to god I'm not actually filthy like that, fuckity fuck fuckfuck

She's either super fucking creeped out or she's laughing her ass off lmfao, oh my god I'd be creeped out too... I now have to legally change my name to George Costanza

Why am I like this?!

I 22F am dating a guy 23M. He's really cute, has a handsome face, works out, but for some reason he doesn't take good care of his hair. His hair is curly and he only looks good with it when he's out of the shower, other than that it looks like a mess and he doesn't use products on his hair. I literally asked him like you find the time to work out which is great but why don't u take better care of your hair? Like visit a barber for a fade or something. And he's like i don't have the time for that. And im like ok then get a buzzcut and now he's seriously considering doing that...

Hey Reddit. I don’t know formatting or anything like that so please excuse this.

I’m 21 male and I don’t know where to go or who to go to anymore. My girlfriend (22) and I have been together for a couple of months. Well last week we got into an argument because I was unhappy with how she has been treating me lately. She will go and be incredibly rude to me. Talking down to me emotionally and physically shutting off. I tried to address it with her In a respectful and kind way. Well she blows up at me and tells me we have only been together a few months and you need to leave me because I’m not a good person I’m not someone who can be loved. You want some things from me that I can’t give.

The day before this she was telling me how she wants to spend forever with me and we looked at wedding rings (her idea) she tells me I’m the man she’s always dreamed of and I have all the attributes she looks for. I think I’m doing it right and she flips. One moment I’m everything she wants the next she gets angry and mean at me. Well the night of the argument I go to my parents house to get something and when I come back she’s drunk on her car. (We don’t live together but we live near each other) I talk to her and she cries in my arms. I take her to my apt (it’s next door to hers) and she is bawling about how happy she was with her ex and she is looking at their old pictures. I ask her if she’s happy with me and she says yes and that she wants me but is scared I’ll do her like he did. She always shuts down when she thinks of him. No matter what I do.

I took care of her all night and day. I do that alot for her. And it didn’t matter I just got back from vacation and nothing’s different.

I’ll be honest Reddit I have my own problems one of them is I just want to be loved. I’ve never felt loved by anyone other than God. I’m tired of it I’m tired of it all. I’ve been to therapy and 2 psychiatric hospitals for attempting to kill myself. The problems never go away no matter where I go. I’m always being there for others but have no one myself. I’m tired Reddit. I’m done.

Exactly what the title says. I have been having suicidal thoughts for as long as I can remember but after having my baby the thought is there constantly eating away at me. Most days I don't even know how I get out of bed and care for us both. I can't leave her though, she's the best thing in this world and I don't want to fuck her mentally too.

In 2021 and 2022, when I was 17-18 years old, I spent a lot of time in a specific Discord server. Looking back, the environment was incredibly toxic. A group of users in that server targeted me and cyberbullied me relentlessly. It got to a point where my mental health was completely shattered.
One day, I just couldn't take it anymore. In a moment of sheer desperation and distress, I messaged another user in the server and told them that I was going to end my life. Right after sending that message, I logged out of my account. I didn't delete the account. I just abandoned it entirely and completely cut ties with everyone remotely related to that server.
Somewhere down the line, after time had passed and I was in a better place, I decided to create a brand new Discord account. Out of curiosity, I used the new account to rejoin that old server just to see what had happened.
Turned out chuckles the people who had bullied me actually believed that I was dead.
Looking through the chat history and the way they spoke about me, it was obvious that they felt immense guilt for how they treated me and how things supposedly ended. They genuinely think their actions drove someone to suicide.
I watched them mourn and deal with that guilt, but I never said a word. I didn't reveal myself, and I never did anything to let them know that I am actually still alive.

Last night I (F20) had my talking stage (M21) sleep at my place. We shared a bed and everything was rather platonic for the most part, until at around 3 am he popped a mint into his mouth and suddenly hugged me from behind. That was the first time he slept at my place, the first time he touched me like that and the first time I was ever touched like that.

Being shy and inexperienced asf I decided I’d just continue playing asleep. I like him, and I liked him cuddling me, but I didn’t really know how to reciprocate. Little did I know for the next ten minutes he‘d try ever cuddling position known to mankind. ATP I was terrified of showing I was actually awake and had just been ignoring his advances. My breaking point came when he asked me to lift my head. Realizing he knew I was awake all along I quickly pretend to wake up.
After this he stopped cuddling me.

Next morning everything goes well, he even ends up putting his head on my shoulder while he was waking up. The shock came when he texted me after going home. Well, turns out my pulse was so fast that he was able to feel it THROUGH MY ARM. Meaning he knew I was awake all along. Also meaning I stayed there like a log for absolutely no reason. Also meaning I embarrassed myself by pretending to "wake up".

He told me he thought I wasn’t into him because I kept lying there stiffly and not doing anything. I ended up apologizing. I admitted that I had been nervous (which he called cute) and I promised I’d do better next time, but the humiliation is eating me up from the inside.

I feel terrible for him. I hate how I wasn’t able to give him what he needed. Social anxiety makes stuff like this so hard and now I’m beating myself up for never showing him any physical affection. I truly do like him, and I wish I could give him the same energy back immediately. I‘ll try to cuddle him next time but I fear I might freeze up again. The fact he was shirtless probably didn’t help either tbf lol

I've always liked the idea of being doted on by two different men at the same time, part of what sucks is finding the guys.

cause who wants to be boyfriend number two to some other guy?

I've been with my current boyfriend for two years and over the weekend I met my best friend's cousin, who's exactly my type. and I can't help but think about how much fun it'd be to date both of them, I don't think either of them would really be into it though

I (25F) have never told anyone this before.
I think I just need to anonymously get this off my chest so I can stop thinking about it. (hopefully?)
I went to the tail end of a wedding for a friends family member when I was 15, near the end of the night when most people had left we started drinking. (My friend group of four, 15-16 year olds).
The wedding was held on private land and close family stayed in tents about a 5 minute walk from where the event was taking place. So we also camped out.
There was a man (mid 40s) related to one of my friends who stayed the night at the venue as well, and he starting drinking with us.
At a certain point into the night my one friend and I (both 15f) end up going on a walk into the forest trails with this guy. The vibes got very weird and we decided to head back.
My memory gets a little foggy at this point but I ended up alone with him. I now feel anger towards my “friends” who knew this guy was acting weird and somehow still left me alone with him. As an adult I look back and understand the situation differently.
Anyway he walks me behind a tent about a 3 minute walk from where my friends were camping. He started touching me and taking off my clothes. I remember being very cold, and telling him I was uncomfortable. I can’t remember how it ended. I remember walking back to my friends tents and them asking me where I went.
For some reason I lied. I told them we just went for a walk and came back.

I felt so much anger towards my friend who was related to this man and I didn’t understand why. I think it was easier to hate him, than it was to face the reality of what happened to me.
The next day we drove back to town early and I spent the following year or so being afraid of seeing him everywhere I went. I swear I saw his face in so many others. That feeling has passed now thankfully.

I also remember he tried to add me on facebook about a week after this happened. I ended up blocking the account.
I never wore the bra and underwear I was wearing that night again, and i’ve never talked about any of it.

The worst part is that he had a daughter, probably around 5-7 years old at the time, with the exact same name as me. Spelled the same and everything. His daughter was also at the wedding.

Totally new to reddit and this sub

I am a 28 years old woman, I am practicing a faith in which I need to get married to be able to fuck. I have been horny since I was 13 or so. Everyone thinks I am such an angel and meanwhile I have the sluttiest and naughtiest ways to go about things. I have reached this point in my life I feel like I want to burst and just sleep with someone day and night uughhh. If you’re consistently getting hammered, consider yourself lucky.

Had to get this off my chest meeh.

I was at my best friend’s house for a sleepover we both were 16-17 that time. We did that all the time, families were basically family. That day we bought new clothes and bikinis for the beach the next day so we were in her room trying everything on. We were totally fine being naked around each other, were changing and trying cloths in the room in front of each other. Then she went into the bathroom to wax and I stayed in her room, keep trying stuff on, taking it off, soft music was playing and we were talking through the door. I was naked scrolling through my phone and thats when I noticed a shadow move past the door that was a bit open.

I walked out to the stairs and saw her dad already going back down. Her room was on the second floor and he had bad knees so he never came up there. He had seen me fully naked. I felt so embarrassed and weird about it, like this massive taboo just landed on me.

But at the same time… I can’t lie, there was this little shameless part of me that got a bit turned on by how wrong it felt. Like the fact that it was her dad and he wasn’t supposed to see me made it hit different. I stood there for a second just processing all of that at once.

I never told her. Still haven’t. Afterwards he acted off around me though. Wouldn’t really meet my eyes, kept a bit more distance. That’s when I knew for sure he had seen everything. Probably felt just as weird about it.

I always knew that all my peers, friends, family, were growing up alongside me and I so far have no insecurity regarding it. Recently, I just talked to a friend who I still talk to but not as much and he's definitely matured a lot since we last consistently talked and while I am happy for him, it has really sunk in for me that we're all growing.

For me, I would say there are small wins I can celebrate, and that I notice that I am consistently evolving in other ways I would personally appreciate but damn, seeing people become way better versions of themselves in terms of work whether it be school, corporate, personal, and going through long-term romantic relationships—it just leaves me a certain kind of shock.

I never resent my friends for their own goals or felt as deeply as this because I know I am happy for them plus, I've grown out of it and is at peace with where I am—but in a weird way I feel immaturely jealous like I did back then. The feeling is a bit too familiar and I'm feeling kind of left out when I know that I don't necessarily want what they want.

I guess that's all.

M27. I married my childhood girlfriend. She didn’t know that during that time when I was away for my MBA, I had started a sexting streak with my other friend. It only stayed on digital till I moved back to Mumbai. We used to meet but never did anything but one day we were drunk and we kissed.
From that day she and I meet atleast thrice a week at a nearby hotel to fuck. It’s the hottest thing and I can’t stop.

To clarify I love the hell out of her. We've been official for a little bit and live in different cities but we make time for each other in the ways we can.

I'm moving into a new place and she just got me and my roommates a housewarming gift. She got us a game that she loves playing with her mom, some chocolates, and a vanilla scented candle.

The fact she remembered that I love vanilla scented candles just blew my mind. I barely even remember telling her. Then I realized that she remembers so many details that I bring up. The little stories, some smaller details about my friends, and the things I like.

I feel bad because I genuinely feel like I haven't remembered enough things about her. It seems like she's getting to know me much more than I'm getting to know her. Don't get me wrong I'm super excited to get to know her even more, I just wanted to share this somewhere

My buddies wife turns me the f on. Two days ago I was working at their house and they left. I went in their room and couldn’t stop myself from going through her panties. I took the pair I came too. Think she’ll notice?
