I have a friend, Let's call him Jack and the problem Is have is that ever since he has started watching some YouTubers, he has now wanted to act like them.

A big part of questions I looked into already since the site started was in a breakdown just "how to say/ask ... in a friendly way/without being rude". The answer can be break down to "Simply do it, but in a friendly way". All the answers are giving a lot of additional information that are some...

A non-binary friend of mine recently posted on Facebook about getting agitated about being addressed as ma'am while on a train.

everybody: Recently I have been a lot of troubles with my friends, because when they ask me to do something I say no, because I don't like it or I don't wanna do it. Example Friend: Wanna dance with me? Me: No, thanks Friend: Oh c'om!, dance with me! Me: No... Friend 2: Man, don't...

I have social anxiety in very particular situations, usually things like approaching people to ask for help or similar, things where there is a significant chance of failure.
