Just to say in advance, I do not want my friends to stop doing what they enjoy nor do I think they are excluding me at all. I’ve noticed that although I am in a very tight knit group of friends and yes we do have common interests, I feel like our personalities differ. For example I was asked to join them at a screamo / metal gig and of course I went to support and be there with my friends, however it was entirely not my “thing” and I just found myself disliking the experience as a whole. My personality heavily steers me away from mosh pits or metal gigs / concerts and this makes me feel like there is a separation between me and my friends. My music tastes revolves heavily around The Beatles and that style of music and a mosh pits would be one of the last things I would do voluntarily. Don’t get me wrong I love spending time with my friends but at the end of the day when I see the photos and they all look like they’re enjoying themselves and I’m either not in them because I needed fresh air / couldn’t handle the intensity of the event or I just look much less entertained or out of my comfort zone I feel left out and feel like they have different interests / life direction to me. Again I am not complaining about they’re lifestyle at all or their interests I am just wondering if I should be making more of an effort to try and change so that I can support my friends and enjoy myself at the events they invite me to because they want to include me because my complaints seem like a very minor issue that I’m complaining about and one that could be avoided easily. submitted by /u/No-Rizz
