Are you asking because you have a story like this yourself? This is actually the way I met my girlfriend. There is an open world pvp game called GTA Online. I was driving over the map in an armored car, when she suddenly attacked me with a flying car by shooting missles. Since my car was armored, she had to hunt me for a while, very obstinately but she managed to kill me. Surprisingly a differentrandom player picked me up with his flying car to get me revenge. Usually, players become toxic after a fight, but not this time. We texted each other and it was very funny. So we joined an audio conference, started talking and played some pve together. We became friends, best friends, girl- and boyfriend and fancee/fiance. End of story.

As part of the community team, for this particular case I can say the easiest to spot scammers are black men creating profiles as white overly sexy woman. People could also use their own pictures contacting others with the intention of scamming them. We can't look into people's hearts. There's enormous damage done, because essentially I need to mistrust everyone to keep me safe and that's from what I see in the world the root-cause of all evil. What I am wondering is why there is the need to scam so blatantly if this whole project is about helping each other. I am suggesting a different business model. Be yourself, be honest, be vulnerable. Make real friends and ask for help if you need it. You might only be able to scam a person once and then you are damaged goods in terms of trust. Be a good friend yourself and your friends will help you again and again.

I know they are everywhere I was bothered by them in the beginning heck messenger and fb social if you don't know friends or family the rest is scams or marketing scammers are not very smart they suck at lies I set and let them go just see how far they are going I'm even sometimes saying I know what you are they don't listen I guess once in awhile I feel like I may be helping an old guy out of they are thinking I am suckered I'm wasting their time innocent name they were about to try I took his place 95% are scammers if school is- no where ,work -no jobs , live Houston hometown Houston and friends list 200 men all Nigerian or foreign not texan they write the same as they talk not English don't get sentence spelled correctly if the do then words are out of place . I do hate them little boogers but they are out there I expose em play em out just before they ask for money I say no then the online dating trust thing is coming I just tell them pretty much what they are going to say they know then and poof ghost me lol . I do know 1st sentence it's not often I keep pretty busy ionce in awhile one will just rub me the wrong way I just go have fun

I hope you’re all right but you will be all right and I would love to take you out maybe use look forward to when you’re ready. We don’t have to go out we just be friends we can pick on him.

Right. An introvert will usually have only one or two close friends, whereas an extrovert will likely have many groups of friends. We tend to keep to ourselves and only get involved in situations that genuinely interest us, rather than feel a need to constantly socialize and get involved.

I have a strong faith in the fact that we are always exactly where we are supposed to be. I've learned that you'll know exactly what to say when it needs to be said. We get what we need when we need it. I was researching and looking for answers to shed some light on what it is I'm being called to do and stumbled across this website. I spend a lot of my time alone so this may be exactly where I need to be to find like minded friends to share with. I'm never lost.

I’m a loving dad of a 26 year old beautiful daughter, she is severely overweight but is working towards bariatric surgery, she’s tried diets and they don’t work. She has no friends other than those online far away, she’s never had a boy friend and spends most of her time in her room on her computer. My heart is breaking for her, she cried telling me how worthless she was and how lonely she was the other night and I just wanted to break down with her but I had to stay strong. She is on medication for bipolar and depression but more needs to be done. For whatever reason men don’t see the real her because of her size and it kills me she is so beautiful inside and out. I need advice on how to get her out of her shell and to become part of the world again. Please help a loving father save his daughter!!

Who is "you"? Can't be me, because I added you 2 days ago ^^ I think, there are different roles in friendships and in groups of friends. One or a few leaders with ideas and engagement and one or a few followers. Some years ago I was quite shy, so I was a follower. I didn't want to be the center of attention, because I was insecure. This role is totally fine, it's easy, because you never have to organize something and you still have some fun. But a follower is expendable. It doesn't really matter if there are 4 or 3 followers, because the ideas and the organisation will be the same. A leader is important, because there will be no meetings, no fun, no activities without him/her. So everybody wants to be the leader's friend. 4 years ago, I met a new group of friends were all the people were a little shy, so I saw my chance and became a leader just by being a little confident and by organizing a crew meeting. And it feels great to be a leader. Sure, you have to invest engagement and work but you get a lot of respect in return, so I think it's worth it. So if you feel like your friendships are one sided or people don't really care about you, you could try to be a leader. Don't go to a party, organize the party, invite people and everyone will talk about your great party. This works best in real life.

As we change, our relationships and friendships change. A friendship that was satisfying for a long time can change into one we are no longer comfortable with. When a friendship is one-sided, we might even feel used, unseen, and manipulated. I think you already answered by mentioning healthy boundaries. We need to be honest with ourselves and others and set these boundaries for the sake of our friendship, ourselves, and also our friends. Who, if not our close friends, deserve our honest feedback.

This is quite an old topic, but this kind of situation is known to me too. Basically, that explains her behavior. Her wedding was important to her, but she didn't care about the guest's effort to get there. Slightly narcissistic behavior is good, because it means, you try to make yourself happy and that's important. But when I get married, the company will be more important to me than the place. If someone suffers from depression, it can be scary for a friend to talk about it, because you never know, which wrong words you might pick, which make the person kill herself for example. So that could have been a reason, but that is still no excuse to call you I broke up with my ex best friend too. We went to school together from 1st grade to 10th grade and that's when it ended. We even skipped a grade together, but while I tried to become a classy gentleman, he tried to be cool by playing gangster. So I pulled the ripcord because I didn't want to follow him on this path. From then I still got male and female friends, but my best friends were always female. I dont know why, but they seemed to be better in discussing serious or emotional topics.

I think my problem is that I want friends to much .so I presume everyone feels the same as me

I'm recently divorced. The hardest part despite the divorce being cordial (it really was) had to do with me not immediately opening up about the divorce with friends, family and colleagues. Nobody knew anything was wrong with regards to my marriage so most folks were shocked when I finally came out and shared what happened. What helped me move on? I work a lot so there's that and when I'm at work I focus on work and not my life outside of work. I also exercised minimum of 5 days per week. Spending times with friends and family who are more "upbeat" is always refreshing too.

anyone here deal with agoraphobia and high functioning depression? its really lonely and hard. lost friends because of this and i have no insurance and it gets really hard.

Hello everyone, I want people to know about me that I'm an introvert. I take some time to open up with people. And this is one of the reasons I don't have friends. I'm not a first mover. Maybe there are other reasons also. Let's see how far we can analyse my positives and negatives. One more thing I like art and craft.

Hello, welcome. I am also new here. I came here to make new friends. I am kind of sad nowadays because my girlfriend left me. We were together for long 4 years and it is really very painful for me.

I realize that I had different habits and dynamics about how to make friends (and keep the friendships going!) throughout the years. Recently, after moving to Barcelona I was making so much effort to make friends. It's fine of course but at a point, I realized that I was going for quantity and end up being unsatisfied and exhausted. So I'm acting differently lately and I feel happier with fewer friends but having a quality time with people I truly feel interested in getting to know more. On the other hand, I realized that friendships require a conscious effort. After moving here I felt that I'm losing the ties with my friends so I started to be more aware and careful about calling them often and now I'm even closer with some of my old friends. How did you guys experience these situations with friends after moving abroad, do you feel like @Calvin77 about it? Calvin, how did you deal with that?

Only friends are real than dream girls.

I don't really know you, but from what you've told us, I can understand them. On the one hand, I think it's fair that terrible behavior has terrible consequences. On the other hand I believe in forgiveness and I don't want people to suffer forever. Since your family is important to you now, you can keep trying to show it by being friendly, by apologizing, by caring about their feelings, but in the end it's up to them if they do or don't forgive you. If they can't forgive you, you can still start over. Of course your family will always be a part of your life but you can still enjoy life with friends, by pursuing hobbies, with a new girlfriend, ... Life is not perfect, but if you accept what you can't control and if you try to make the best of what you've got, you can make is pretty nice. Good luck.

There are a lot of things that make me happy, but some of my favourite things include spending time with family and friends, being outdoors in nature, travelling to new and interesting places, experiencing different cultures, reading and learning new things, listening to music, and spending time on creative pursuits. I think it's important to find out what makes you happy and to make time for those things in your life. For me, happiness is a state of mind that comes from within, so no matter what is happening around me I can find moments of happiness if I look for them. I hope you can find things that bring you happiness as well!

Hello everyone, Today I'm going to share my personal experience of getting over a Breakup💔 I think many of you might be going through the similar processes in your life and you might find it helpful. So, my relationship started and was going very good. The relationship lasted for 2 and half years. I was so sure that he is THE ONE! He was emotionally available, very caring, in short, the MAN OF MY DREAM! I was ver certain that I was going to marry him, as he committed at the very start of the relationship. But then, he moved to another city. We both knew that this was going to happen, and Long Distance Relationships are difficult. But still, we promised to hold on to each other no matter what! But when he actually moved to another city, I noticed change in this behaviour. But I was trying to understand that, because he was in a new city, meeting new friends and exploring everything. But I used to be at home because of the Pandemic, waiting for his ONE REPLY! It was exausting for me, but I was still trying to understand. But after a few months, I told him that I feel ignored and he replied with "I don't know what to do". I asked this many times after that, but his reply was the same. And one day, he denied to reply to my 'I love you' message! That's when I knew that the relationship was about to end. But I still kept convincing myself until he stopped replying me. He used to be online all the time, but didn't reply me, or didn't even see my message. I was broken. I tried talking to my friends, but it didn't help. That's when I took help from ONLINE THERAPY. I was assigned a Qualified Therapist with messaging at any time and live sessions. They suggested me that it was the time to Stand up for myself! And I finally broke up with him. I was surprised that I didn't cry that day. I was actually feeling liberated. It's a very good feeling when you let go sometimes. But still, all my wounds were not healed. I took more help from ONLINE THERAPY. Used as there features like their Worksheets, Sections, Live Sessions, Messages, Journal, Yoga and Activity Plan. My counselor was very Sensitive, caring and able to understand my Problems. She suggested me that the only Love I needed that time, is my OWN LOVE! That's when I started the journey towards Self-Love. And I've never felt this Good before. I'm not exajurating it, but guys, Self-love can change your world completely! Self-love taught me to be compassionate about myself as well as to others. I'm very grateful that I had someone to speak to when I thought that No one could understand me! This is NOT a promotional post, and my own experience. I hope you all found this helpful. Also, don't forget to Love Yourself guys. And I really recommend you to checkout ONLINE THERAPY if you are going through any Mental Health Issue or Problems and more importantly, it's okay to Ask for Help when you need it, it will only benefit you 💕🤗

Actually we expect lots of expectations from some people with no happenings so you have real love from your parents, family members and a few friends, so you don’t be silly you know who’s real to think good about you, good are good bad are bad. You just enjoy your family life members and real friends 🤫🎁🎉🎈

Dear Friends, it is well know that meditation has a positive impact on health. Lots of evidenced based studies have been carried out on with promising results. I am carrying out a study as my master's thesis asking the impact of meditation on the six dimensions of psychological well beings: Self-Acceptance, Personal Growth, Purpose in Life, Positive Relations With Others, Environmental Mastery, Autonomy. All of the six dimensions contributes to well being. In addition I am trying to see the change in selfview due to meditation practice (Self as an independent entity vs Self as connected to all beings). If you are interested in seeing the results and helping me to carrying out the study. Please take part of it. It is an an anonymous online study. Meditators and Non-meditators are required for this study. This study requires around 15min. It would be very helpful if you can support in carrying out the study and fill out the questions. The link to the study is https://www.soscisurvey.de/Selbstbild2022/ Nice greetings and thank you, Max

Hey Lou, thanks for posting this, that’s an interesting topic and i just start… ;) I always searched for solo adventures since i was young(er). I’ve grown up in lovely Hamburg, which is still and will always be home to me. I always had lots of friends and activities that would/could hold me there. But i´ve always felt the need, to just be anywhere else with myself, see new things, live something else and step out of that comfort zone. So already after ending school, i went to Leipzig to do some internship, directly afterwards same thing in Cologne. After that i came back to Hamburg to stay some years for civil service, apprenticeship etc. In that time, i tried to convince my ex girlfriend to get to live abroad, know another country, i once again felt the need to go away and leave friends, team mates and family behind. She didn´t want to…. ;) Directly after we split up i bought a one way flight to Barcelona, which always attracted me (sea and mountains so close…). And that for sure has been the best solo adventure of my life! I am still here (15 years) and never regretted just one day, having done this. It´s not a solo adventure anymore, as now, i have family here. But i still do solo adventures. Last year i travelled alone to Portugal. Just a week, but solo adventures make me really happy (as family time does, too! ;) ). The next solo adventure is a weird one. My family will travel to see the family in south america and i will stay alone these 3 weeks. Looking forward to it with mixed feelings, but i believe that i will have a great time with myself, too ;) I wish i could have told more solo adventures on traveling, fighting with grizzlies ;), but i mostly travelled with friends or my wife. Have a great ending 2020, stay safe and healthy Bjoern

I guess I’ll break the ice and fess up., I’m lonely. It’s not as if I’m any stranger to living solo but reaching 65 and having the rug pulled out, I find myself with a new life. Mindfulness plays a big part in my life right now, as well as psychotherapy and family. I’ve just been through a very disturbing life event and this is going to take awhile. I’m excited to have found happiness.com and hope I make some friends here. I’ve got a solid support network of high school classmate friends because I’m the guy who organizes our class reunions every decade. The problem is they are scattered throughout the country. Facebook group friends they are. I’m in need of local friends! I just joined and will be working on my profile. Yoga on The Bluff in Long Beach anyone? Coffee?

hello all ! i met someone over two years ago. before even noticing physical attribute i fell in love with his energy as soon as he sat dowm before me . it was like a vortex of familar energy calm but strong it settled me down almost putting me to sleep. once i saw the face to the energy it was unbelievable he was like something i dreamed into the world . every time my roommate would bring him by the instant we locked eyes it was intense and overwhelming we would just stare for a second as time went on I noticed a push-pull dynamic there were brief periods where he would be in and out of my life we would play The blocking unblocking game on Facebook mainly me in the start I always sensed he would come back I always trust that he would be back when he did leave for short periods of time out of my life during those times I felt anxiety and missed him we weren't really close friends at the start but I felt like I known him my whole life and maybe lifetimes before I never read about twin flames or soul mates during our separation I would read up you know trying to put in my symptoms of our connection and twin flame came up it seemed like the perfect description of what was going on. anyway I recall a time where we sat down in my bedroom and I felt this heavy energy around us it was almost like falling into a vortex and it was strange I remember hearing something outside of my mind saying I known you four lifetimes or something along those lines I can't remember exactly what it was was almost like I went into a deep meditation for a second and I have no recollection but I'm glad it was just intense energy imagine The vortex around us things will fall over for the following weeks there's lots of energy high vibrations I just recall him making me like so happy I knew I could trust him I knew when we would fight it was coming out of a place of love and it's more like constructive criticism we didn't talk much but it was like me to look at each other and we just know what was going on she said to me before I know you better than you can imagine which is strange because you know we never really spoke. I remember first in the beginning I picked him up from his home and as soon as I got in the car I felt the Simpson pieces usual almost onto meditative state I'm a thought crossed my mind saying you feel like home I have no clue what the word home men and apparently walked eyes he was staring at me through the rearview mirror. as a relationship got stronger the energy got more and more it's like I just knew him so well without actually knowing him she would always come around at the right times he would always answer my messages when he did it's like he knew what was going on with me there were times where I knew it was going to run with him I would sit there be like he's making coffee and I would message him he could home you know sitting by the coffee maker there were signs from the universe almost as if the universe is writing to me and bold italics like like home there are times where he would say I'm not home right now or you know I don't feel at home and I would feel a sense of I love you I'm associated with that word that's at the universe word in bold italics you would leave items to my house and it's almost a bold italic moment of I'll be back in always to come back we have similar personalities but the same time very Jane Yang push and pull type of personalities movie with this degree we would just agree he had qualities lilacs I had qualities that he lacks only had say mirror in qualities but they said it always came from a place of he cared I was in an abusive relationship at the time I met him and then he abusive relationships we both were on drug addicts once I met him my life started clearing up it became clear to me I needed help the idea of maybe a life with him in the future cat crossing my mind and you know that wasn't the right reason to go to rehab about a year or year-and-a-half later I can go to rehab we hung with the same circlebut I felt like I know him I whole life I may be like times before I never read about since lanes or soulmates during our separation I would read up yo trying to put in my symptoms of our connection and twin flame came up its seem like the perfect description of what was going on. anyway I recall a time where we sat down and my bedroom and I felt the heavy energy around us it was almost like falling into vortex and it was strange the I remember hearing something outside of my minds saying I know you for lifetimes or something along those lines I can't remember exactly what it was theirs almost like I went into meditative state when receiving these messages . I would receive these messages often when with him . There was a time I drove to pick him up and the minute he got into the car and instantly felt at peace as usual and a thought came outta no where almost like a loud o feel at home . I didn't get recoginize the meaning of home in twin flame relationship at the time . About a month in my energy was going hay wire things were falling off the walls and at times when we walk together it was like a magnetic pull toward each other . Symbols became almost metaphor or a secret language like home when used between us vibrated with I love you and car became a symbol I have no clue what that symbolized but he would see a car and say that's beautiful almost as I'd speaking to me directly or he would tell me what needed to be fixed with his car like it needed fuel and I would be hungry or it would be overheating or he'd tell a about about a car and I'd be dehydrated almost as if speaking to me . Me and him both struggle with addiction I was in a abusive relationship (now my ex boyfriend) at the time my boyfriend father of our son was natrually insecure around him and I spent most time with other men . He would act weird and intimidated even though there was nothing pervceivable being done . I could tell at glance what he was thinking about other people or situations around us he would make a joke that sounded like normal but it was funny to us . Once he entered my life changes started happening rapidly for the betterment of my life and spiritually development . People who were not true to me disappeared . People didn't like us together they would instantly get defensive (those who weren't good for me or him ) . I lost people i ended up getting evicted he never would give me easy advice or baby me he would make sure I got the lesson or overcame a struggle . My child got taken temporary I lost my home my belongings and at some point my mind . Between the drugs and the situations things got what seemed like worse at the time...and I wanted to give up. He literally was the only person who could cheer me up or I could trust . Looking back I now discovered a pattern of codependent nature of me so there was a lesson In that. Eventually his finances and his car became a struggle he started going down hill to and our connection became strained both feeling negative energy and emotions. It was harder and harder to see each other every time we would make plans the oddest thing would happen as if preventing us the universe itself . I started to not understand him as much . We did have sex once and my intuition became so strong and my sense of him that and the drugs did not Mix with that almost causing a pshychosis because my vibration and the messages were in mean spirit . We became more and more distant after . I remember knowing a immense separatation was going to occur . He started seeing someone as I was off and on with my boyfriend at the time and he never really spoke about her . He became distant . I have no clue if he knew all these things were happening on. Concious level like I did. He did aknowledge once or twice he knew me better then I thought or he would somehow know what was going on iny life and would tell me things about how I needed to do something in order to better my life . I was so sure god meant for us to be but the signs stop coming the connection stopped. I stopped feeling his energy I almost forgot who he was as a person . He started avoiding me Eventually rehab was my only choice I departed for flordia two months ago . We spoke the whole way there now I am in halfway and loving being sober I still discover little lessons in ur relationship daily and no matter what I can't seem to forget him or worry I can sense his energy mildly and he went of the grid. He won't text back old friends who were in our circle can't get him on text or social media which gives me hope he to has let go of that life . He was only using with me at the time I was his main source and he was mine. It did become toxic in that sense . I just hope we're in separation and that I wasn't crazy and god has a plan for us . I know deep down he loved me and I know with each and more clear day and clarity what I felt was real but now I question it. The obsession is lifting but I can't forget him or thank him enough for all he did for me and my growth spiritually and as a individual . He did ask my friends how I was doing at rehab so he did care but the silence makes me feel like we never had anything and it was in my head when I get to dount I have no I'll will towards him it's a unconditoonal love . There are sonsa I listen to that he used to play in the car that was almost like he was speaking to me . We had common music tastes and personality wise he has qualites I didn't and I had quality he didn't but much alike emotionally and on th same journey's .same things happening around the same time. Qualites that clashed and ones that mended and coincided. Ones he pointed out in me that he also had but wasn't aware once that started happening that's when tension and resentment arose when we would give eachother honest cristicism about parts we couldn't see In ourself . Shared the same mental health issues depression . Bipolar ect. I almost could read his mind I knew when he was gonna text me or knew he was drinking coffee id wonder what he was doing and bang he would text me saying having coffee almost as if the universe was verifying I wasn't crazy . When I'd pick him I could feel my energy briding to his house . Before the separation I would drive to our friends around the corner and I'd hear loud as say vibrations of distress getting louder as you'd get closer . Could be insanity but I was the most magical intense relationship and beneficial to spirtial growth i ever found in any connection . I'm sad it's no longer I always imagined us healthy sober and clear . The times we were well slept and properly caring for ourselves we were perfect and understanding of one another up until a drug would enter our bodies then it went well to hell ..I'm not fully understanding this relationship or twin flames soulmates ecr so any advice input ect. This distance pulls at my heart more then my mind but keeps me motivated but it hurts .trying to let go is easy. Moving on isn't something I'm trying to do I need to focus on me and my recovery just for today but anytime a male comes in or I get an attraction god takes them out of my way . All advice welcome Thanks for helping me clear this . Namaste
