Reply to LPT Request: How to get rid of dandruff? by ImThour

I found the only thing that works for me are the medicated shampoos. Selsun Blue Medicated worked the best on my hair. Neutrogena T-Gel works great too. Idk if you use any products like gel or hairspray, but I minimize the amount of product I put on my hair too.

Reply to LPT Request - I've been a punching bag to my closest friends for years. What do I do? by germany_science_1

Man, it sucks. Three years ago, I decided to finally stand my ground against my two friends who were like that after many years of friendship. I told them no and I never heard from them again. In the end I took the advice everyone is mentioning here and walked away but I still think about them often and wonder if they think about me. It's never fun losing a friend but some people are only with us for a season of our lives and that's okay. You don't need to tolerate your friends. You should enjoy your friends.

Reply to comment by SonOfTed in LPT Request: how to come off as friendly and interested in other people? by dirigiberbil

+1 to this. Expanding a bit... Something that helps become a more active listener is to use your imagination to create a "scene" from the story that others are sharing with you. This will keep your brain more focused on the story while also create opportunities for legitimate follow up (by trying to fill details on the scene you are creating).

A second trick is to stop a natural impulse to reply with YOUR Own story and, instead, ask a few questions to get more details.

As others have recommended, find new relationships that could become your new friends.

And, think about why they behaved that way and it was OK for a while. Until it was not.

There. Probably you are landing at self respect. We are the ones who need to elevate self love and self respect. You are a beautiful, talented person who has the capacity to be open about this with the world.

Now, amplify that energy and raise the bar on what you expect from life and how your relationships should matter to you more.

Many others here have given you the right advice, move on, and find new friends. But also respect yourself more. If you keep going back to these people whilst knowing how they are going to treat you, then a part of you may feel like you deserve it. Trust me, you don't. There's a whole world out there with better people in it to make friends with.
