Are We Really Friends?

[trucker119]

Hey everyone! I have having some problems with two of my so called friends. I used to be kind of shy and never went out. Coincidentally I made friends who were similar. Lately I have been going out and socializing with everyone! Meeting people which I really love doing. I dont know but it seems like every time I try something new and something I enjoy doing myself they always make fun of me about it and it really upsets me. I just told them flat out I did not care about what they thought about me and that I enjoy doing what I do. But in turn when they do something different I accept it and I dont make fun of them. And it seems like its all hush hush when they are around each other. They are my closest friends and I just feel like they dont want me to get out more in life or something. I am not sure but I really don't want to relate to them as much as I did because I know how a good friend really is... What should I do?

Probably time to move on to new friends; those ones appear to be stuck in habit and rote and are likely too insecure to improve themselves, instead trying to drag you down with them.

i agree with euro. i'd find some new friends. they sound jealous and trying to bring you down.
