Friends don't like me anymore

That's the advantage of being in your first year. You don't know many people and many people don't know you. You can take advantage of that and just meet people you've never met before because there are others in the same situation as you.

To back that up, I used to be in the same exact position as you where I had people I used to know for 4+ years suddenly just exclude me from things once we hit college and started to talk crap behind my back. I just left them and found new friends. I've met much better people since then and I could say I've even gained more confidence since I have done so (I've been able to approach people and ask them out successfully on dates).

Just leave those toxic people as soon as possible. The big wait is meeting new friends but that wait is worth it.

Thanks for the reply anon

I have no problem leaving people that are shitty to me and I've already made an effort to reach out to more people.

It's just that it's hard when the people that don't like me hang out with people I'm cool with a lot. I don't mind not hanging out with the people who don't like me but I don't want to ditch the entire group.

You will more than likely need to ditch the entire group, anon. When I was a freshman, I had to leave two groups total (I thought were great) before I could find my perfect one. Like I said, it's all in the wait. You won't find the right people right away and that doesn't mean you should stay around the wrong people either- leave them on good terms but you need to leave them asap (yes, all of them. The good ones leave the group as well and eventually reconnect with you.)

You're probably right. It just sucks cause when I hang out with them, without the 3 or so people who don't like me, we have a good time. Also the thought of having to start fresh just bums me out.

What do you think about asking one the people I'm friendly with what the others think of me? I mostly trust my judgment but a part of me thinks I'm over-analyzing everything.

And again thanks a lot for replying. You've already been a big help.

Final bump

Different anon but I think if you trust this person it might be good to get some closure on this issue.

Thanks anon I might do that. I just really want someone to give me a straight answer so I can break it off clean and move on with my life.
