Is it normal that these aren't my people?

I'm on a cheer squad of about 17...and yet I can't find a decent person to hang out with.they're all so fake aand all they care about are themselves.don't even talk to me or show any sign of me being there.I'm way prettier than half of them...I'm not like them.my other three friends are basketball players(girls) so I'll be at their games but won't have athletics with them anymore.but I really need to find a friend whose schedule is closer to mine.is it normal I'm a cheerleader but can't find a friend on my squad?

    I thought I was the only one out there who thought this way. I was a dancer for many years and felt left out because I wasn't as snobbish as the rest of the team. I didn't really like anyone and the ones I did talk to were only marginally less snobby as the others. I kept to myself a lot because I was not comfortable with the other girls.

    I agree that the main reason you should get involved in an activity is for yourself because you in enjoy doing it. The problem is that an environment created by the vibe of people around you can take away from you enjoying something you love. I have no advice but to say you are not alone.

  • Well, are you Cheering because you like it or because you want to make social connections?

    It's normal to do something because you like the activity and it doesn't mean you have to make friends doing it.

    Cheerleaders have a bad rap for being vapid twats who are hated by everyone except themselves and their crazy mothers.

    I wouldn't lose sleep over it - you are just a lot more well-rounded than some of the people on your team.
