Lpt request: How to make friends in college when everyone is already friends? So Iāve been in college for 2 days now and am enjoying the course. The only issue is that everyone seems to be part of a friend group. There must be 4 or 5 groups that have been formed in my class and I somehow have managed to avoid joining any of them, probably because Iām very shy and quiet. I tried sitting down with a few of them today but th…

LPT Request: How to deal with long-time friends that only reach out when they need something from me? General advices are appreciated. For context, scroll downćć I’m tired of being a friend of convenience. I occasionally keep in touch with my school mates years after graduating.

LPT: Surround yourself with kind, selfless friends for an easier and happier life I used to believe that befriending high-achieving, ambitious people was the best approach. However, I soon realized that their motivations were often driven by personal success rather than genuine kindness. I now understand the importance of choosing friends who prioritize kindness, even when it comes at a cost. Having such friends allows us to …
LPT Request: How do you make friends with other parents or meet new people in general? My wife and I were recently invited to a play party with other kids from our daughter’s school. We got there and you could just feel the awkwardness of everyone (including ourselves).

I have my amazing partne…

LPT Request: how to reconnect with old friends. For some time Iāve been either asleep at the wheel or super focused on work and I have let many relationships slide into no contact. Luckily, none ended abruptly or for any dramatic reason. They just faded. For what itās worth, I was a super outgoing person for most of my life who had many friend groups through my early 20s. Iām 30 now and fina…
How would you feel if your friends offered to pay for your trip, if you traveled with them? My spouse and I have good jobs and healthy savings. We travel regularly, but are tired of always traveling alone. Some of our best friends are teachers who have been woefully underpaid (thanks, Florida). We would love to pay for the plane and lodging and bring them along. But I could also see the offer being super insulting… I am not worried a…

LPT Do not trust friends or family when inheritance is up for grabs Had to learn this lesson the hard way but unfortunately people change real quick when large amounts of money are involved and the people you least expect will do underhanded things while you are busy grieving. 1st example is I had a stepfather take advantage of me financially (talking hundreds of thousands) and then disappeared into the wind. …
A friends inly trip to Japan turned into me with a family of three. Not asking for advice, just sharing. After returning from Japan in Feb, my three closest friends from college asked me to plan a travel for us in October in Japan. I said yes. In a few weeks time, one of them backed down as she had personal reasons. Then around April, one of my friends bought tickets for her mom 64 and her son 13 to the trip. I …
LPT Request: How to make non-work friends Hi, Iām 27F and graduated college in 2019 right before the pandemic. Iāve been in my ābig girl jobā since 2020 and feel like the pandemic made me get out of touch with all my close college friends (even though they still live in my area). Lately I feel like all I do is just chat with my coworkers but have no (normal?) friends outside of work. An…
LPT Request: Convince an octogenarian she’s not friends with Reba McEntire. An eighty year old friend of mine believes that she’s friends with “Reba McEntire”, and trusted the person claiming to be Reba to set up a bank account for her, which has received her SS checks for the last year. Needless to say, the money’s gone. I convinced her to change to paper checks for the time being so we could get her back on her feet (…
