Friendship

If you know them well enough you should be able to tell from their body language or facial expressions. Some people may laugh or twitch when they are pretending to be serious others may not be so obvious. In this case confront them and ask them. If you can't do that then think logically about what they said. Think of what happened that day or recently or about what was on the news. Try and work out in your head if it's a joke or serious.

EDIT: The above answer is right BUT it is ultimately more important whether you want it to be serious or to be a joke. If people are being serious(or you don't know for sure) in a way that makes you uncomfortable pretend you think they are joking and say dismissively humorous things. Sometimes that will make them stop, go away, or switch to pretending they were joking altogether.

Megalomania is a pretty extreme personality disorder, possibly mental illness. Unless you're a mental health professional, you don't 'deal' with it. If you need to associate with such a person (school, work, family), avoid as much as you can but when you can't, be pleasant, respectful, and nonconfrontational. The rest of the time, you don't gossip or speak negatively about this person. If you find this person bullying you or attempting to bring harm or blame to you, don't confront, document. If the person's behavior indicates there might come a time you need to report the behavior, it will be helpful to have some support in the form of written dates and incidents to back up your complaint. Meanwhile, just keep a low profile with this person.

Downers are:

-They can be clingy

-If they're mad at you and they know a lot about you, it's possible they may embarrass you...

There may always be more downers, but these are ones that are very common...

• Each individual can be independent if they so choose and no one is forcing them to be dependent on another. However, humans are meant to have feelings and compassion towards other human beings so they have a strong family; good friends and good work ethics because it builds character. While there are rules in this world we live Westernized countries have the luxury of freedom of speech and a free lifestyle so any individual has the opportunity to be very independent if they so choose. A person that goes through life thinking they do not need other human beings is going to be a very lonely person and miss out on some great opportunities in their career; family and friendships. Being independent in one's life and still maintaining a strong bond to family and friends is a balancing act.

Friendship is a valuable and enriching part of life for many people, offering support, companionship, and shared experiences. While it can be incredibly rewarding, what is considered "the best thing ever" is subjective and may vary for individuals.

Having friends can provide emotional support, companionship, and a sense of belonging. Friends can also offer different perspectives, help with problem-solving, and contribute to personal growth and well-being. Additionally, friendships can enhance social activities and create enjoyable experiences.

Help them bury the bodies that's what true friends are for.

Seriously though, if they are homicidal, they need help, if they are just whacked out crazy and obsessed with death or nihilism, let them be into it, it's their thing.

Jealousy can stem from a combination of factors such as fear of loss, low self-esteem, and insecurities. It often arises when there is a perceived threat to a relationship or self-worth. In some cases, jealousy can be a sign of deeper emotional issues that may need to be addressed through self-reflection or therapy.

write down all of your dreams and discuss with your friends about what you can do to make them happen, you will be surprised how many interesting things they say, that might help you, things that you don't ever thought of.

It is important not to make assumptions about people's behavior or sexual orientation. People express themselves in a variety of ways, and it is not accurate to label someone based on stereotypes or assumptions. It is important to respect and accept individuals for who they are.

Most jealousy stems from a lack of self esteem, work on making YOU!! feel special, say positive afirmations to yourself all day long, like; I aprove of myself, I'm very pretty, I'm happy with myself etc. get Louise Hay books.

Well i know that in the Psychodynamic theory (freud and gilligan main people here) developed the Penis envy and the womb envy theories. Would this be what you are referring to? Basically they state that women are jealous of what guys have (Freud of course) and Gilligan's theory is that men are jealous of the reproductive aspect of women.

Giving a man a watch for his birthday can symbolize the gift of time, commitment, and respect for his punctuality or style. It could also indicate a desire for the man to think of the gift-giver frequently.

Because you trust your friends and not your enemies, so if you told you false friend something important, then they would tell other people, but you would never tell your enemy, an important secret...so your false friend is more dangerous

people normally bully to feel like they have more power then the person they bully, people also bully because they dont know how to be nice or they where never tought how to be nice or they have somthing happening to them in there life at that moment or at every moment or they themselfs have been bullyed by another person, or family member !

An advantage of having a friend is the emotional support, companionship, and shared experiences that can enhance happiness and well-being. A disadvantage could be potential conflicts, misunderstandings, or dependencies that may arise in the friendship.

It must feel painful to you and your friend to think you are 'dumb'. Unfortunately, too many kids feel that because of the way they are treated by parents, family, teachers, and classmates. Teasing and bullying can make a person feel like they must be "the dumbest person".

But, has anyone ever told you and your friend that EVERY person has knowledge and talents? One classmate might be superb with math, and another classmate excels in writing, but there ARE other types of knowledge. For example, many boys (and girls!) are interested in and learn how to take apart engines and put the parts back together. A student may be great in art class, but not in reading. Another student might excel in woodworking, but fails science class.

Even though school is designed around lesson plans and earning grades, there are other kinds of knowledge. When you think about yourself, what are the things you enjoy and are really good at? Some kids are good helping people; some enjoy organizing objects (like librarians do in their jobs), while other people like to "study" one particular topic (for example, butterflies). When you realize what you enjoy most, you will also know that you "know" a lot about that subject.

Having a friend who "seems a lot like you" always feels good. But part of friendship is also letting people grow and change. Maybe your friend "doesn't want to be dumb anymore" because he or she has realized he/she does know a lot about something--even if it isn't a school subject. Maybe your friend is tired of being bullied. Maybe your friend has decided to really focus and study hard just to see how much more they might learn.

Don't focus only on grades. Focus on the joy of learning---even just one new thing a day. Maybe you and your friend can meet a couple times a week to study, or read to each other. Make a game of learning--it helps. Remember though, life does not need to be a competition. Do your best. Learn as much as you can in school. Keep your eyes on the future, and get as much as you can out of school now. Support your friend-- you both can help each other a lot.

that means you pleased me without any reason

People infer things about people based on their appearance, mannerisms, speech patterns, interests, and other behavior. For example, if you saw a fit young adult male who has a military haircut and is to-the-point in their speech, you might draw the conclusion that they are serving in the armed forces. You might or might not be correct, but more often than not you would be correct.

The best way to find out why someone mistakes your sexuality as gay is to ask a person who you know to be kind for specific examples as there are many different things that could cause people to draw this conclusion.

Also, if you are a young person asking this and you are homosexual, you shouldn't try to change yourself to hide it better. That's a really big waste of time because there is absolutely nothing wrong with being gay. Just give it some time and you'll eventually grow up and get to see how much more fun gay people have than their straight friends.

Does she actually discuss hurting herself, even if there are not noticeable wounds? If she talks about cutting, does she claim it makes her feel less stress? Is she unnaturally depressed, has stopped taking an interest in things she previously enjoyed? If so, then that is an issue; something that can be greatly assisted by your support, but also where she does need outside intervention (from her family, mental health professionals). If she does any of the above, then you should encourage her to talk to her family about it, or talk to them if she refuses to do so; it would be supporting and assisting her, even if she becomes angry at you for doing it. However, merely claiming to be 'emo' can mean she is just a fan of that style of music, or fashion, or she enjoys emo-style writings. She may simply want to be seen as 'emo' to attract a certain type of person. It doesn't necessarily mean she is (unnaturally) depressed or that she cuts herself, unless she has behaviors that the previous paragraph mentioned. Emo is as much a societal trend as 'Goth' is. I'd likely be classified as a metalhead but I don't eviscerate virgins, worship Baphomet or torch churches by the full moon. Your friend simply may have different interests than you.

Being "cool" is very important to teenagers. They are just starting to learn about relationships, and are trying out different things that they can use when they become adults. One of these things is their own personality or persona - how are they coming across to others? How do they act in different situations? What do other people think about them? When you grow up a little more, you will realize that being "cool" is not as important as staying true to your own beliefs and doing the right thing. It is always better to be kind, honest, fair, and open-minded than it is to do things just to be popular. However, here are some things you can do to be more cool and fit in better at school: * Talk the talk - use the slang that people in your area use. Listen to how the "cool" people talk and use the same expressions. * Look the part - if you can afford to buy the kinds of clothes the "cool" people wear, then you can wear the same sort of clothing - if you cannot afford it, don't sweat it because most people in the world are not rich and most people do have to save up money to buy things they want. * Hang out - "cool" people always have certain areas where they get together. Find out what area that is where you live and start hanging out there. In the end, being "cool" is more of a popularity contest. There are always going to be a small number of people who think they are better than everyone else, and they are going to be snobs and make fun of you for trying to be like them. Think about whether you really want to be super-popular - or if you just want to have a smaller group of real friends you can count on to stick by you and not run off after the next "cool" person who wins the popularity contest. Personally, I'd rather not have to spend all my time trying to fit into what everyone else wants me to be just so I can consider myself "cool."

i think so, i personally am half prep and half regular goody-goody (i wear Holister and Aeropostale but dont wear clothes that are 2 sizes too small, act slutty, gossip, or backstab) and i have a bunch of scene and emo friends- then again im only in 9th grade so

If someone is lying, you may notice a slight change of voice. If you are having a conversation, if they are lying, they will tilt their head and look to the upper left, as if recalling something. They may stammer, or croak, along the lines of that. or they can never look you in the eyes and if they do they doint look for long they keep there eyes on sumthing else . sometimes you can come back to the person at aanother time to see if they say the exzact answer later . it works all the time!
