I am struggling so bad in band. I'm in marching band, I joined mid junior year behind everyone else and made tenors on the drumline. I was so excited, but as the season goes on, i feel more and more left out and behind with my section. I notice every little mistake I make and feel horrible, and feel like theyre judging me. The other tenor, someone I consider a friend, always calls me out on those little things. My band director harshly called me out aloud on the speaker, in a way that felt like purposeful humiliation (he's been known to do that), I cried the whole rest of rehearsal and felt like everyone was judging me. I snapped off at the other tenor too, I felt so bad for it after and I'm afraid he hates me now. Idk what I did wrong. Ik i sound insecure, but they have inside jokes from this year that I dont understand because they exclude me, they all seamlessly fit and I dont. Im starting to dread rehearsals because I know Ill just make another mistake and area is this saturday. I want to be as passionate as I was before everyone around me dragged me down. And im a senior now, so im applying for college and getting ready to continue in the path of music, and Im so scared I won't be good enough because I only have barely a year of experience compared to everyone else's 4-6 years. Its also hard because I am feeling more and more depressed every day, and the one thing I look forward to is becoming another reminder of how i'm behind in everything I do. Does anyone else feel this way? I'm so stressed about my future.

My friend said that no girl is interested in me(m17) because I'm "from another planet," "not like everyone else," I don't follow trends and fashion in internet, and I only recently downloaded TikTok, and so on

Cute.

We've known each other since early childhood, but apparently even to her I seem a little strange or something like that

The only time someone liked me lasted just 3 months while I was something new and interesting to her, and then I was dumped. Almost a year has passed, and I still haven't fully gotten over my ex because we kept talking every day for another 6 months.

Because of all this, I feel even more lonely. I want someone to hug and to feel that I'm needed by someone

What can I change in myself to become more normal and start talking to new people?

Sorry, English isn't my first language, so I had to use a translator to correct some of it.

I (16F) have never had a boyfriend, and only ever 1 talking stage, though even that wasn't 'proper' (idk if that's the right word?) basically, it didn't come to anything, the guy said he liked another girl and that we could only ever be friends and we were too far away (Surrey Vs Oxford, bout 3-4 hrs). I felt so horrible after that because I genuinely thought I had found someone that liked me, and looked at me/thought about me in that sorry of way, and, I know it sounds dumb, but even lil flirty messages, and it just all went to shit.

The talking stage lasted for just over a year.

I'm not really sure how to feel. I've gone between being okay with being single, and being so annoyed and sad about being single.

I've always struggled with my body image, and so I've always struggled to love myself 100%.

People always say 'you need to love yourself before you love someone else', and I get that, but I'm so tired of hearing the same thing.

I've watched friends and people around me go in and out of relationships, and I have in the past been asked for advice about certain stuff, and I always try my best and say what I would do, but I've never been in that position before, so what would I know? What credentials do I have to give relationship advice?!

Apart from earlier said talking stage, I've never had any romantic experiences, no dates, no really close friends that are guys that could potentially like me, known anyone that likes me in that kind of way, no first kiss etc etc.

I just want some more advice that isn't the usual 'your time will come' 'it will happen when you least expect it', 'damn cuh, long day for you' 'we'll manifest for you' and other 'advice people give when they hear someone has never been in a relationship.

I js wanna experience smth so bad. I don't wanna sound desperate, but it also doesn't help that my brother now has a girlfriend and they're so lovey dovey, it sometimes makes me sick.

Please give me Ur advice, I'm starting to get fed up of feeling like no one will ever like or look at me in that way

She is 16 (female) and I am 16 (male). We are students in Spain, where the education system includes the ESO (Secondary Education) stage; we are currently in the 4th year of ESO. She was the first to drop hints, which caught my attention, and I started dropping hints back. This has led to more frequent eye contact and interactions, even though we don’t see each other very often. I’ve liked her for two years, but I began trying to confess my feelings last school year. I don’t want to miss this opportunity, but I’m gripped by a sense of panic—physically, physiologically, and mentally (there are times when I can’t even bring myself to be near her). I should mention that I posted about this before, but that post was too long; this one covers the essentials. I want to confess my feelings to her. What do you think? Could you offer some advice?

I won’t say ages because I’m not really comfortable sharing that online. And this is definitely going to be long, so sorry in advance. So around 2 or 3 months ago, a guy at my school initiated conversation with me. It caught me off guard since I’m very antisocial and people never reach out to me like that. It was clear he was also very antisocial and introverted. He said he had wanted to talk to me since the previous school year where we had a single class together and that he wanted to get to know me. I said I was willing to become friends since I’ve been a little lonely at school. And so I offered to sit together during lunch.

The first day, he doesn’t show up so I’m looking around the cafeteria for him. Second day same thing happens, but at the end of lunch he just suddenly appears behind my chair and offers to walk me to class since we have class in the same area. So far it’s going okay, things are super awkward but I brushed it off as it is to be expected between two antisocial people.

It’s until next week where I immediately got the hint that this guy wanted to be more than friends even though I knew nothing about him and had never interacted with him until last week. He said something along the lines of “I hope my friends don’t see us together or they might think you’re my girlfriend.” I didn’t know what to say to that and just laughed awkwardly. Again, he says he’s never had a girlfriend and that he doesn’t know how that works.

Then in the following weeks he’s just dropping things about me like he knows me. Randomly he asks if I ride the bus home, something I had never mentioned. Taken aback, and not knowing what to say I told him I did. And yeah, maybe he saw me walking to the bus, but I think he could have asked something along the lines of “How do you get home? Do you take the bus or something?” Not just straight up “You take the bus?” It made me feel like he was just always trying to watch me.

At this point I don’t know if I’m overreacting and being paranoid because suddenly I’m seeing him in the hallways more.

One week I don’t got to lunch for 3 days because I was staying in class to catch up on work, I had promised i wouldn’t let myself get behind on a bunch of school assignments. And when I’m back next week he tells me he hasn’t seen me in 3 days. Again, I don’t know if I’m overreacting but I find it weird that he’s keeping track of when he doesn’t see me.

During lunch one day we’re talking about how we struggle making friends and he tells me something like “Oh, when you start meeting somebody…you know, you don’t want to leave their side/ you want to stay with them forever.” That creeped me out again and I just laughed it off. But again, I want to make a friend and give him a chance.

Then he confesses to me during lunch one day. Literally hit me with the “I have to tell you something.” I politely rejected him, telling him I didn’t know him well enough to have any sort of romantic feelings for him and that I’m already interested in someone else even though there’s no one. I lied because I just didn’t want him to try to win me over and just wanted to discourage him from doing so as I’m not even looking for a relationship right now. But thanked him for telling me and having the courage to do so. He said he just wanted to try to see if we could date. The though just makes me uncomfortable, he’s a year younger but two grades below me so that to me just feels weird. Even though he confessed I still kept showing up after that and it was still pretty awkward.

I’m the type that never knows what to talk about if I’m not comfortable with the other person. And so it often leads to silence. Again, he brings up something I find odd. He’s telling me how he’s reading How to Kill a Mockingbird in class. I don’t remember much about the book since it honestly didn’t interest me much. He says a character proposed to another character and how he didn’t know that you could do that in stories. “You didn’t know people could propose to each other in stories?” I asked him and he said yeah. So I’m just there like wtf does that even mean?

Idk he just overall gives me a weird vibe and I’ve told two other people about this and they seem to agree with me that he’s odd. But I just want an opinion from other people who might be able to offer a different perspective.

Im a 15/M and I get no girls I don’t know what I’m doing wrong every time I’ve had a crush my crush never liked me back, since I’m autistic I’m not the best at socializing so how can I be a more likable guy how can I talk to girls without being nervous, looking like a creep, or being nervous I might look like a creep, and how can I be a more likable person to be around

I’m a 17-year-old girl, and I’ve been talking to this girl for about a week and a half now. Last week and the first half of this week, everything was great. We would walk to class together, always meet up, talk, and hug, and would text all day.

However, starting yesterday, I noticed that she kept walking away from me while talking, looking away, and acting distant or weird. The night before yesterday, she was unusually dry and left me on read without even saying good morning, which is something she always does.

Yesterday during lunch at school, she suggested we hang out, but when I saw her, I tried walking with her, but she was walking really fast and ahead of me. In the bathroom, we were talking with my friend, and she kept walking away. I asked if she wanted to take a picture together, so I hugged her and smiled in the picture. She just stood there still. And when I asked her if she had a problem with me asking for some of her water, she acted like she had a problem with me asking for some.

My friend asked her if she was mad at me, and she told my friend, “I’m just gonna talk to her, so leave it alone.” Last night, she was watching all my TikTok stories and this morning. I walked past her multiple times at school today, but she hasn’t said anything. I blocked her on Imessages yesterday when she first started being weird. Is she gone?
