Is it normal to think your friends don't like you anymore?

I might just be totally paranoid, but I don't know what else to think. I've known my closest friends around 7 years, but I can't help but think that maybe, just maybe, its all a lie. I'm pretty introverted, and my two closest friends have many, many friends. They usually invite me with them to hang out on weekends and such, but when I'm there with them, especially if there's other people that I don't know too well, I act very shy. I usually end up getting left out, and I have a miserable time and regret going. When I'm alone with them, things usually are fine and normal.

But sometimes they make plans and don't invite me, or they make plans INFRONT of me with somebody else.

    I think that you will be ok and that this is normal! lol. This is how I felt many times when hanging out with my gal pals in high school. We knew each other since elementary school, and even though we grew up to be different people, we still always enjoyed each others company. My one friend dressed preppy, her family was rich, and she was very sociable and loved to be in scenes that included many other people. In high school, I kind of went through almost a gosh/punk kid phase, so when I hung out with her and she would have parties with all these people who were nothing like me, I would feel sooo out of place. But she would still hang out with me and invite me.

    I say your friends must really love you, and love you for who you are. Even though you are shy and don't feel like you fit in, they still want you to be there. If they didn't want you to, they wouldn't ask you. I bet if you were to start making excuses to not hang out with them, you would find them begging you to come out and be apart of the group. It is normal to grow apart a bit after being friendsfor 7 years. Our teen years are when we do the most changing. Your real friends are the one's who except you through all of your changes. :)

    its normal to distrust your friends and to have bad friends and to get sick of it. if you want to reevaluate your friendships you should, but don't be paranoid. i can't relate to everything you've said. people get impatient with me for being too quiet but they still like me. i think they probably like you if you still hang out after 7 years. i suggest making other friends separate from these friends.

    If they keep on inviting you then they still care, even of they may not be really excited about hanging out with you. Sounds like you rag along most times, maybe start changing things up and inviting them to something fun occasionally so that you give something back to ytr relationship rather than bring the shy glum friend all of the time.
