I don't think I like my new group of friends?

Question

Please read this whole thing before answering:
I just started a new school and have a new group of friends.
The problem is, for a few reasons, I don't think I really like them that much.. so I want to get a new friend group!
I talk to some other people in my classes, and I want to become part of their friend group instead. I think they like me and stuff, and they wouldn't mind having me in their group.
The problem is lunchtime! Right before lunch, I only have one friend in my class and we get let out really early, so then I sit next to her at lunch and then the rest of my friend group comes. I don't even LIKE this girl but I don't see anyone else who I want to be friends with in that class so looks like I'm stuck with her.
Then when the other classes get let out, I could go sit next to other people but that would be like really obvious ditching.. also I would have to ask the other people if I could sit next to them.
What should I do??
Thank you so much and sorry if this was kind of confusing!

Answer 1

I think if you really dont like them then dont hang out with them.

Answer 2

So.... aren't you allowed to have other friends or something....?

You're new at your school- of course it's going to be hard dealing with all this 'fitting in' and 'friendship groups' and stuff, but come on'- just cause you already found some people to hang with doesn't mean that other people are completely out of bound to talk to or hang with.

So what? It's NOT called 'ditching'.

Just tell your new group of friends that you want to try hanging out with other people as well. I'm sure they'll understand.

What? Do they own you or something?

Remember- it's your life. You found some new friends- great for you sweetheart, but that doesn't mean you should think "Oh, I'm not allowed to hang out with other girls because then I would be 'ditching'?"

You were the one that said you didn't really like your new friend group and you wanted to hang with a new friend group....go ahead. Just say to the group you DONT want to hang out with- "Hey,Im gonna go sit with _____ and ______, is that alright?"

They'll understand.

And when you go sit next to the group you DO want to hang out with, just smile and say "Is it alright if I sit with you guys this lunch?"

That shouldn't be too hard.



At my school and friend group, we come and go as we please. We have our 'standard' friendship group, but that doesn't mean we're glued at the hip or something. We have fun, chill with other people and don't worry about 'ditching' or whatever. Just do what makes you happy.



And as for your friend group- Maybe you just don't know them well enough?

Haha, Sue really sounds like the b****. You should try to include Emily in with the group because you might actually realise she's pretty cool. What makes Rachel boring? Talk about her interest and get her chatting.

And about Dana what to do..I'm not sure :/ Sorry.



But still, good luck. You're stressing over something that you don't need to stress about :)

OK im going to be blunt, its your life if u don.t feel comfortable near this group leave and go to the one you are OK with and if your old group asks just say i.m not comfortable, and if they are respectable humans they will accept that and leave you alone.
