Dude, be yourself. Do you feel relaxed and comfortable around these people? Do they feel relaxed and comfortable around you? If not, then maybe you arn't as close as you thought, and perhaps 'holding onto the friendship', despite it not being happy or fulfilling is not such a good idea. If this sort of scene and situation stresses you out, and if it happens consistantly, then you are only going to grow to resent these people, and those sorts of vibes suck [img]smile.gif[/img]

You're not going to get along with everyone man. You just arn't. The trick is to not worry about the relationships (both platonic and romantic) that don't work out, and be happy for the ones that do. You're a college boy now, you will meet plenty of new people. Just relax and do/say/behave in the way that you feel most relaxed and comfortable with, and like-minded people will naturally gravitate to you, and you to them. It's kinda like a social sieve. The people that 'fit' you will just seem to show up naturally out of the greater masses, you won't even really remember how you met them or started hanging out. It just kinda happens.
