Is it normal to know your place and do it?

Like you know where you stand in a situation so you kind of conform to it? I don't think its conforming its just playing smart? For example, if you are the black sheep in the group and you know it, you kind of don't want to make things more awkward so you stay away and do each other a favor? Instead of knowing nobody isn't feeling you but you're like "who cares I'm still gonna be here" even if it makes it awkward? I believe it depends if you care what others think of you and yes in my case I unfortunately do. So I just don't wanna make things awkward cause if I am still present where I am not wanted, I don't wanna be there. It annoys me. Why be somewhere where you are not wanted? Its fake and I don't know how to be fake. Is it normal or whats the right thing to do? Stay away or be there no matter what?

    If I cause you to feel awkward that is your problem, not mine. I do care what others think, but I will not change myself to suit someone else's ideal.

    I think it depends on the situation.

      Nothing is either good or bad; but thinking makes it so.

    • In this case, I have two friends and the three of us were good. Then they both got clique ish and I noticed they would leave me out in some stuff. I thought it was the three of us and nothing can come in between us. So ever since I sensed that they did not want me there, I have been acting distant because I don't want to feel weird and I don't want to bother people. Plus like I said up there why be somewhere Im not wanted. Maybe they will miss me but thats not really the plan. I just don't wanna be the out cast in the group so I'll just stay away. I feel like confronting them soon.

      • It's not unusual for relationships, including friendships, to change as people grow. Sometimes you might want to just go ahead and move on, but sometimes it's a case of perception. They may not be aware that they're eluding you.

        It never hurts to ask.

        • I would be really surprised if it was matter of perception. But I am sure they know what they are doing. However, I kinda spoke to them the other day and the way they reacted in terms of moving together was like a bomb. They basically said "of course its still happening." I'm like ?????????? so confused. Don't know if they just said that to ignore tension.

    A victim of conformity.

    • 5 years? Damn :/ that's pretty heartbreaking. I can't imagine cause the bond we shared felt like we knew each other for 5 years and that's why it kinda bums me out. Sorry.
