Friends here today
I swear to god, I don't even know why I hand out with the people I hang out with half the time. I mean, I do count them as my friends, and some of them are my very good friends; but sometimes...
The group I hang out with basically live in this coffeehouse on campus, I do too. I go there because it's the only place I feel like I have friends, and it distracts me from doing homework. Lately though, I've been spotting so many things that are wrong with the circle of friends I hang out with. Now, I'm not in the most intimate circle of the group, which is how I like it. The really close circle of friends is so weird.
This group is so close-knit, it's like a super dysfunctional family, but at the same time it's like a high school clique. They do welcome other people, but if one person starts acting in a way that makes any one person in the group uncomfortable, the whole group shuns the person acting out.
I swear, they've all dated each other at some point in time. In the last two semesters alone, there were three separate rotations of one person to the next. Plus all of them have fooled around with at least one other person in the group other than the person they're currently dating. I can't even believe it sometimes.
So often I feel like I don't fit in with these people, but I stay because I have nowhere else to go. Of course, all the times I have there aren't bad or uncomfortable, but the ones that are make me think I should just pack up my books and run screaming out the door.
