    If your friend can't see how frightening it could be for a lone woman of any age to be approached by a stranger like that, he's not a very nice person.
    The OP’s pal sounds like an absolute creep. If a random bloke looks like he’s coming towards me in the street, I move away in advance to stop him from approaching, and if he keeps coming then I’d be running away or putting my hands out to stop him coming near me.

    He goes to university’s and does it and shopping malls, at uni he just says he’s a student, once they become girlfriend he will say he’s not and his real age.

    he’s obsessed even when we go theme park he goes this was a waste didn’t manage to do any approaches.

    Don’t get me wrong if you see a girl nothing wrong with a approach, but to keep going out and approaching or trying to approach.

    34, in full time work, and yes live at home with parents.

    yes we have things in common, with my friends but I think it comes down to both of them don’t respect me.
    first mate will almost always say something which will ruin the day, like smile when you ask that person question I idiot etc or tell me off
    2nd mate loads of times had no
    problmes with him, but loads of times I have when he tells me off, for something because he has a diffent opion etc 
    I am shocked.   Completely and utterly gobsmacked.   From your first post I thought that you might be about 16 years of age.   

    My suggestion to your problem?   Cut these two absolutely and utterly out of your life.   If they are the only friends that you have, then that's the reason - they are completely obnoxious.   Friend 1 sounds as if he is modelling himself on Trump and Friend 2 seems just to want to bolster any negative thoughts that you have.    You would be better off with no friends at the moment than to claim these two as your friends.

    People might like to read the OP's previous posts. 
    Nope. This is one of the things I hate most about MSE. Trawling through any posters’ old posts and then using it against them.

    Its not using against them. I am not ripping the OP apart. But the OP basically has issues with loads of people in his life and that is worrying and they keep asking the same sort of questions again and again. And not taking on board what advice they have been given previously.

    I do believe the OP would better off talking to qualified people. Who can guide him through any issues he has. Rather than bunch of strangers.
    I do listen, I already left one mate who scammed me out of money to gamble

    @sim2335 have you ever had, or considered having, counselling to help you build more healthy relationships with people.  Nobody is perfect, we all have our faults, but I wouldn't want to spend time with these two people if they really are how you describe.
