Rant about friends, friend groups whatever.

Does anyone else have a small group of friends like 3-5 people (including yourself), but it's not limited just to that friend group? The entire friend group has other friends/other people they talk to which they value more than you or go to whenever something bad happens (argument, disagreement, etc) but you have nobody else to go to besides them. Keep in mind, you are friendly or acquaintances with their other friends, but only because of your friend group, so you really only talk when your other friend is around. What makes it even worse is if you are very introverted and keep to yourself most of the time or if you have social anxiety so the friend group is the only thing you can rely on socially. So whenever something happens online, it affects what happens in real life. Even though they claim that you're or everyone in the group is best friends, but you can tell they don't really like you as much as they say since it's so easy for you not to talk over the smallest stuff. For example, I don't like talking or typing as much as I actually do, so I like to limit myself and take time to myself. But I have a social battery, and it doesn't take that long to go out, so usually, during my 5th period class, it usually goes out, and around lunch and 6th period is the time I take to regenerate myself.  I honestly want to tell them about my limitations, but its difficult to explain everything without actually going in dept about my feelings on everything. 

Moving on, does anyone have a friend group made up of introverts or really quiet people but loud together, but one of your friends is a loud introvert, basically making them an extrovert but they are in denial of being an extrovert. They can talk to anyone about really anything comfortably but they say they can't with other people as much with the friend group, which is an obvious lie. 

Also it's so crazy how much you can actually influence your entire friend group or just people around you. Idk if im self centered or delusional, but sometimes it feels like my friends or just people outside it 'copy' me. It's okay for my younger sister to do it (sometimes), but random people doing it is to much.  In my friend group, its not as common, but I feel like I influence my friends decisions most of the time.  

Anyone is free to comment about their own personal experiences or anything really, just no hate is tollerated. 

Please tell me your thoughts about really anything I rant about. Thanks for reading this !!
