Part of life is learning to deal with other people you view as unreasonable. Keep in mind that other people may also find you completely unreasonable, even though you might be making perfect sense. This is due to a lot of things, but none of it is worth worrying about here.

Racial gaps can be hard to breach because of differences between language that translate into cultural differences.

If any of them are your neighbours, try inviting them over for dinner one night; the pretext being that you're neighbours and that's a thing that neighbours should do. If you don't live in a street rather than an apartment, try knocking on their door and asking if they want to watch a sports game or event over a drink.

If you're not in either of those scenarios and are just trying to make friends with people on the street, try public sports grounds where they congregate. As daunting as it seems, asking to be included in a game of basketball might be all it takes.

If you're at a university or school, start talking to people in class.

Give yourself a reason to associate to people, and, if you have a genuine interest in learning about them, some will open up to you.

>>28742897
It's perfectly fine that you lose your attraction to people over time while you're not with them. It happens on smaller levels all the time, for example, between old friends who fade away due to a lack of common ground. Realistically, these were problems you were always going to encounter.

What I suggest you do is this - be brave, and make a decision that's right for you.

Try explaining to her that you would like some space. There's no need to burn a bridge - because as you quite correctly recognised, there's no reason that such a friendship can't take off in a few years time when circumstances allow it. Explain how the distance between you both troubles you, and that, you being as you are, you can't make do with just a friendly message on how your day was, or even a cute letter. It's not as direct as telling her that you don't want to be in a relationship any more, but it might diffuse the two of you to the point where she's not hung up on you. Allowing her time to think and grow may mean she sees your point, in time.

If that means that you need to let her down ever so slightly, then it's the way it has to be. Some people are capable of going much longer periods without seeing someone in person, but just remember, that's not you, and there are lots of wonderful ponies out there. If she really digs her heels in, then it's quite unkind of her, because that makes it very hard on you to try and let her down gently. Don't disregard her feelings, just explain how you feel unhappy with such a big distance between you. If you find that there's some reciprocity at all, suggest that maybe it would be better if you were friends instead.

If she says she's not attracted to you, then this doesn't seem to be a problem, Darling. Unless you'd want her to do that kind of thing to you, in which case I suggest you try and get her to like you first.

But that's a whole other kettle of fish.

>>28743124
What do you mean, Darling? You're there already, aren't you?

>>28743132
Pushing sexual boundaries and experimenting is fine. Doing it with a friend is not particularly a good idea, as you can risk making your friendship awkward. It takes a very specific kind of people and a (somewhat) less specific kind of relationship - a close one - to avoid awkwardness or tension thereafter. Worse yet, he may expect you to reciprocate feelings that you don't have.

Ugh, both of those schemes are drab.

A light grey cardigan is usually a safe buy - it suits slightly inclement weather, and blends well with most colours and jeans. Perfect for everyday use, and you're unlikely to annoy her unless it's a strange style. Try to avoid buttons. Also, try charcoal, it's my favourite colour.

It's alright, relationships are also of importance to many.

Try to worry less about sex. Sex is a natural desire - you can't control it, but the more you want it, the more difficult it can be to get, sometimes.

I'll assume the root problem is that socialising with women is not your strong suit, and not any other reason. If you're concerned that you're a bit of an amateur, try rooting out a few basic things about yourself. Do you have a handful of questions to ask a woman at any given time? Do you take any care of yourself? Would getting tips from your barber or hairdresser help your personal style? Are you cleanly-shaven or trimmed?

Dating websites, despite being infamous for containing more crazy than Twilight's fanmail box, are also a good way to practice talking to women. If you're presentable, tinder will help you with this, too.

>>28743475
Happy to help.

New hairstyles are usually worth placing effort into - a beanie won't completely ruin your hairstyle if it's only styled with some paste or gel, unless it's something quite orchestrated. If you live in a part of the world where the winters are quite extreme, you might be ready to sacrifice it for a more rugged look.

I suggest using a less intensive paste and a beanie. That way you can obtain a mussed look with a sweep of a hand if you need to.

And she likes you, or else she wouldn't be talking to you.

Unfortunately, because I can't tap my hooves together and match you both up, I can only give you a range of things that I think you should do - I can't make her like you if she isn't interested in you in that way.

Your ages are probably of good relevance to this question, too, since it affects what she's looking for, and says different things about your relationship. Having a female best friend at age 25 doesn't quite mean the same thing as having a lady friend when you're 19. There's usually much more sexual tension between the two of you the younger you are; and odds are, if you're hanging around someone of the opposite sex a lot when you're quite young, they're either family friends or you have a crush on them.

The key thing is not to make this awkward. Speaking as someone who has slept with her male friends before and I'm not saying it was clever of me to do it , I suggest testing the waters first.

A very simple barometer is doing something together, just the two of you. Try a picnic, a walk around the park, dinner and a movie night (particularly if you cook). Presumably, you're both quite comfortable with the other, so you'll need to do something obvious that makes her realise you're sweet on her.

In action, be a little bold. Compliment her when you see her. When she's talking, smile naturally at her, and look her in the eyes and nod so she understands you're listening to what she says. Ask her about her personal interests and explore them. I'll assume you can manage to get her to hang out with you. Try telling her how nice your friendship makes you feel. If you're receiving any positive signs at all, go for it, because she probably feels the same way.

Try not being shy about it. If she's pretty, tell her. It's not like you're dysfunctionally attracted to her, so if she says no, you can always go back to being friends.

Ok let's start off by saying that I am VERY paranoid person.
I have moved to another country and after 3 years still didn't made any friends. I cling to my old group from home country but sometimes I feel like they don't like me as much as I like them and perhaps keep in touch with me out of pity. We have very little contact when I'm here but when we meet it always makes me feel stupid because they show that they're happy I'm here and that they missed me, so I feel bad for doubting them.
How do I stop doubting people, Rarara? Or perhaps how do I become less paranoid?

Anxiety is a very serious thing, Anon, and it sounds like you have a lot of it.

Rather than try and pretend to know how to help you, I would recommend you catch up with a professional psychiatrist for this one. Mental Health issues often have their roots in the subconscious, and need to be treated seriously.

One thing I would try to point out in the interim is that if, time and time again, you're made to feel silly by your friends who enjoy your presence and their association with you, then perhaps you're not as bad as you think.

>>28744093
No. There are many valid reasons why someone may upset you more than most.

The real question is whether or not you're capable of moving on from them - in which case I recommend a good physical outlet to your unhappiness over them. The gym, perhaps.

Mind if I help, Rarity?

>>28742786
I know it can be difficult to have a different view of things than your friends do, anon, but I've also seen what can happen if you let those disagreements become more important than your friendship. The best thing to do is try to understand each other's perspectives instead of arguing about who's right and who's wrong.

>>28742820
The same way you make friends with anyone else! Don't see it as a barrier, see it as an opportunity to learn about cultures you haven't experienced before.

>>28742897
That sounds tough. The right thing to do is to tell her the truth, anon. But you should think about your own feelings too. Friendships don't have to end because you're far apart. Relationships don't always have to either. Before you tell her you don't want to be together anymore, be completely certain that's what you really want.

>>28743980
Have you talked to your friends about this? Someone who knows you well might give better advice than we could, and friends can provide wonderful support if you feel like you're not valued.

>>28744093
That depends a lot on why they upset you and how you deal with your feelings. Sometimes it can happen because you're anxious about something that won't really cause a problem, but other times it just means that you care about those around you, and there's nothing wrong with that. What's important is that your worry doesn't become the only thing that matters.

I'm willing to bet you're after exactly the same deep feelings of comfort and happiness that everyone else is after, you just assign more value to trying to get it as fast as you can.

I want you to think about the last time you went to get a hot drink with a friend, when you just sat down and talked. On the surface, it's just getting tea or coffee. In reality, it's a way of including yourself in someone else's life, and that gives way to a whole lot of other slightly bigger things. You get to ask about their day and their lives and what's going on in them. That's meaningful, and being that person to someone else is meaningful, but you probably don't think of it as that.

If you approach that same scenario with the desire to drag someone through the fundamental fears of being alive and your real worry that you may be worthless as a human, then people are going to think you're much too intense.Try taking time to meditate on simple things in your life, and what they actually mean. Recognise that other people aren't going to be as focused on such intense topics for real reasons - reasons like being judged, feeling unhappy. Understand that, maybe, you have to tap into such thoughts and conversations gently.

Of course your friends will laugh at you from time to time, but don't you think that means something to them, too? They're busy assigning their own value to these kind of moments.

The absence of sincere, deep and meaningful moments between friends doesn't mean you don't matter to them in such ways. Likewise, drop your gaze a little bit when it comes to what's meaningful in your life; because there's being deep, and then there's just being depressing. Opening up gently and honestly in small environments about the way you feel to your friends and potential friends - including the way you feel about your friendship - and you will do just fine.

I'm a college freshman and I've been here for over three month now. I have made no friends whatsoever, there's a few people I'm cordial with, but I wouldn't really call them friends.
I had friends in high school; good friends, but it took a while for it to solidify, and we already had a lot in common. I haven't encountered anyone I'm actually interested in here.
I've almost lost interest in friendship with these people in general; it seems like it would be a waste of time and energy on my part. Almost all the guys here are Chad-types or Chad wannabes. The rest are either dude weed LMAOs or too autistic for even me to consider.
There's so much noise and general retardation here and I just want to be left alone. The same sort of thing applies to romance too. This place is 60/40 male to female, and I'm not bad looking and pretty fit, and not hugely autistic, outwardly at least. There's been a few people who seemed to express interest in me, but I just can't be bothered.
I'm looking at the pilot episode of MLP because that's basically where I am: cast into a strange new environment to carry out a task that I am single mindedly invested in. I'm here to get a degree and nothing else, so what's the point in making friends, especially if I'm going to have to change myself to make it work?

No one around me thinks like I do. I feel like I have to make myself sound less intelligent in order for people to understand me.

Rarity, I don't have a question,
But I just want to give you a big great thanks!

All this advice is solid, and I'm happy you are providing it!

I'm a former insecure, shy, hesitant, "beta" male, (somewhat) who has gradually improved himself over the past couple years thanks to going out and actually speaking to people, as well as by changing sleeping habits, working on thought processes, killing routines that I don't find fulfilling anymore, and a diet change.

The most important change I've made was focusing less on "Getting a gf," less on wanting sex or a partner, focusing less on what I can't do, haven't done, or don't have, and instead, focus on getting done what little things I want to do now. Focusing on myself, and the present, the now, not the damn future that hasn't happened yet.

I stopped thinking about what I want to do and not doing it, and started doing it
...Mostly. I'm still a work-in-progress human.

But I've made it very far, and I can say all your advice is holding true, but it's advice that I WOULD NOT have understood years ago in the mental, negative-emotional state I was in. So I feel your advice giving here today is in vain, as your target anons may not even understand it.

Perhaps, the best advice to give them is for them to go out and just talk. Be around people and let conversation happen. Gain experience, fail, and learn from mistakes holds true to learning to socialize. I managed to do it through my workplace, where I was regularly exposed to others, and conversation. I was around human interaction!

I'm way more sociable and "in-the-moment," "feel it" and less over-thinking, over-analyzing, less pre-planning now, and that's something anons are going to have to force themselves to do by socializing in real life, and not eating advice posted online.

Give your insight on this, ms. Rarity?

Does she ask you for money?
Do you send it to her?
