Need some help
>Long time friend group nearing ten years together since middle school.
>Cool, but I feel like they constantly belittle me.
>Every opinion I have is invalid to them unless it agrees with their opinion.
>They're always bringing up stories from my youth that make me uncomfortable/make me look bad.
>When they're mad, I feel like I'm their punching bag.
I feel like I'll never be anything more than the goofy idiotic kid to them. I just want to up and leave and make a new group of friends, but I can't help but feel like I'm wasting near a decade of friendship just because I won't say something. At the same time, it feels like I'd be better of going elsewhere, since I don't think they'd be friends with me if I became more assertive.

People grow and change. I still know my friends from high school, but I'm only still friends with one of them. All my other friends I've made in college or at work.

That makes sense. I just feel like I should give some closure for the issues going on.

have a serious heart to heart conversation about your issues with them and decide from there weather to sick with or leave them. It won't be easy but it's really the only way to be sure in your decision.
Even if you make a fool out of yourself in front of them oh well, you just leave as you are considering anyway but potentially you will get through to them and they will become really good friends again. just be honest and open, you can't get it wrong if it's the truth!

It's hard to know with just that, but you may have been manipulated by them. If you have someone you trust outside of that group, tell them about the situation. Whatever the case, it'd probably be for the best if you distance yourself from them.
