Am I the one that's different this year?

Question

I came back to school this year, and everyone seems so different, like it wasn't unexpected, I noticed them changing last year, but everyone seems way different now. Like some of my friends that I used to hang out with all the time, seem kind of superficial to me, and a lot meaner, like I was sitting with this other girl I know yesterday, and this nerdy guy asked to sit by me, and I said sure. Today one of my friends is all "Why were you sitting by that kid? he's like my stocker" Honestly, he just seemed like he was trying to be social, but didn't really know how, and he probably just has a crush on her. What, did she expect me to say no to him, I didn't know him, and I wouldn't be rude like that. Or they were talking to these sophomores I get annoyed with them too, but they were being really mean. It was lunch. I wasn't there, but my friend told me this. She thought it was really funny. She was with this other girl, and they went over to this table full of sophomores and one of them told all of them to leave, so they could have the table. Or I don't know, they all just seem to only care about how they look and dates and dumb stuff like that...don't get me wrong I care about that too, but I care about other things too...they all just seem a lot more...shallow all the sudden. I'm not going to be mean to them and stop being friends with them, but we don't have anything in common anymore.

I just need some advice, what do I do, I still want to be friends with them, but now its hard to even have a conversation with them. It's really sad.

Could they of all changed that fast, or did I change? I used to have so much in common with them, and we hung out all the time, and now...

:S

Oh and Lexus if you answer this, don't tell them I'm saying this, they will over react, lol you know what I mean. Drama that's just what I need right now.

Answer 1

I went through the same situation. My friends were always talking behind each others backs and i would like a guy and he wouldn't be the most popular guy on the block, but i liked him.  But they would be like oh my god he is so ugly and i would be afraid to go out with him because i was afraid to loose them as friends.  Eventually I just got out of that circle of friends and started hanging out with much nicer people that were more like me. I know I made the right choice to because I wasn't really happy when I was friends with them. I think that you should do what I did.  It will help you in the long run.

Answer 2

yup...im an aries too. i could tell u were one cuz we kind of think the same. um....this is sad but true. your "friends" are changing because they dont have personalities of their own and they are trying to act "cool". By cool i mean, the image of what ur average cool person on a tv show is like. And ur doing good cuz ur not buying in to all that highschool bullshit (excuse my french). From personal experience, highschool sucked because its that time in life where people are trying to "find themselves" and the ones that are still searching are temporarily on *****-mode. Anywhoo....dont let their attitude problem bother you. My only advice, stay true to who you are and be who you are, not what people expect of you....That way you can make friends who are more like you. On the bright side- college is way better, people are real.

Answer 3

you shouldn't be friends with them still!! thats my opinion. If they are like that and theyve changed, i don't think u will be able to get along with them as good. If people change, its best not to try and get them back...

Answer 4

as people get older they mature they are probably just trying to find themselves.
