Is it okay to not have any friends?

...See more Hey! Im kate, 17. I've been struggling with not having friends for a long time. But everything got a lot harder when this pandemic happened. If before i could try to deny the fact that i dont have any friends, now things are clear as day. People dont talk to me unless i reach out to them first. The people i considered friends are leaving me out of things and sometimes i feel like they treat me like i'm some kind of liability. The littlest things that people do can trigger a wave of negative emotions. I try to control it, but every time it always ends up the opposite way. On top of that, my mother, for whatever reason is constantly saying things like, oh you don't go out with friends much right? or like, you don't really have many friends right? (thats how she words it, which i find really obscure) Maybe she's trying to figure those things out? Like she's trying to make sure that that is the case or something? But it truly feels like she's trying to make me feel bad about it since every question will end up with an advice about how i should be more agreeable or something. It makes me really mad. How should i really feel about not having any friends or bestfriend?

...See more Hey guys, so i have been friends with this girl since i was six. I am now 17 and we are close friends. The last couple of years we're not as close anymore because we both hangout with different people. Around two weeks ago she asked me if i could do her college application essay. She does not speak english and the essay has to be in english. So i said i'd do it but she has to buy me a cake. I asked for that cake a bit jokingly but i actually mean it. Not because i don't want to write the essay for free or something, but just to have a little fun with things. Now the essay is done and i gave it to her. When i asked for the cake like she promised l, she said it was to expensive and told me to pock something else. I know she's not in some kind of financial situation, she's pretty well off. The price of the cake is about the price of 2 medium sized starbucks drink or less. She never mentions "paying me back" and just waits for me to ask for it. She acts annoyed when i mention it too. I did the task for her with good intentions bc i want to help her, i put so much effort into making it good bc its important for her. The way she is acting is really pissing me off. I feel used and tricked. Like you can't at least be thankful? Should i tell her how i feel? It truly does bother me.
