I have a friend who I've known since freshman year (we're seniors now) who I'm very close with. We got distant for about a month and a half because I always felt like I was the unwanted one in the friend group (duo in a trio situation, they're also dating) because of how they treat me sometimes. I apologized because I should've communicated and we made up, but lately I've just noticed little things that bother me more now that I'm not gaslighting myself into pretending they weren't there. Random snapping, getting dry, raising his voice at me. He's usually a pretty great guy, but there will be these moments where he says something so mean that I can't tell if it's his usual "brutal honestly" or just how he feels about me. Most recent example: he's known for a long time that I struggle with my memory because of trauma from severe abuse growing up. I have no control over it, and sometimes I'll need to be reminded of things that have happened in the past, but it's never malicious. It causes me genuine distress when I can't remember things, he's fully aware of it. We were talking about a friend who we had a really bad fall out with, and I had forgotten something he had told me about her post-friend break up. I apologized, because again I genuinely did not remember and he was noticably annoyed with me, and he said "You probably just weren't listening to me." and was dry/dismissive the rest of the time. I do love him as a person, but sometimes I go home just feeling horrible or crying because of things like this. I don't really know what to do. Are friends supposed to treat you like that or am I just too sensitive??

I'm going to assume this is a safe space even though talking about this is so awkward 😓. So my boyfriend and I had intercural sex on I think April 20th. Underwear was on so slightly more safe? Some of it got on my thighs, but not near my vulva, we were very careful about that. But I noticed my breasts look slightly bigger than normal and my areolas look different/darker and it's freaking me out so bad because this would be the WORST time to have a pregnancy scare (about to graduate, go to college, all that fun stuff but a lot of stressful things going on before I can relax). No other symptoms as of now, but I'm overthinking every little thing that could even remotely mean I'm pregnant, so I'm gonna go to the store tomorrow ASAP to buy tests just to be sure, fingers crossed that it's nothing or something else. Thoughts?

So I (17f) just got into my dream college in Japan as a marketing major. I picked my major because I genuinely enjoy learning about marketing and would love to do it professionally or even have my own business one day. Tuition's cheap, great location, very safe campus. Cool, right? But I'm stuck. I don't really know what to do. I've been looking online and on different forums, and everyone is saying that my degree from a Japanese university would be pretty useless in the American job market if I come home because the university just isn't well-known here and would limit my networking opportunities in the US. But also, I won't be able to afford my tuition if I stay, not without taking out a bunch of loans. At my dream school, I'd be graduating completely debt free. I don't think I could live with letting this opportunity go, but what if I'm making the biggest mistake of my future career?? I guess my question is this: if I do go abroad, will my choice have negative consequences when/if I come home to the states to look for a job? Thank you for reading!
