I actually went through something similar. I had the same group of friends since elementary school and during high school they all started doing their thing with out me. We just became too different of people. I just left the group. There was no hostility involved, we just moved on. In doing this, I found the greatest best friend I could ask for (still friends 8 years later) and met a few new friends in college.Point being - no I'm not the most popular person anymore. My phone isn't always blowing up, but I have a few GREAT friends that would do anything for me. To me, thats better than having more friends who don't care at all.
