Answers:
you may be in a wrong group of friends, and trying to be friends with these people will not help you out. I felt like this during high school at sometimes. I finally figured out that I need to be around people like me, and that I enjoy having a couple close friends rather than alot of 'popular' friends. I found the popular people to be the most snobby, mean, shallow, and immature. It was hard to convince me of that years ago, but now I become friends with people for their personality and their minds. not because they fit a social situation, look good, or can afford the best clothes. In fact I have learned that these are generally a turn off to me unless their personality proves otherwise.
I learned that I was an introvert... not an extrovert. Society, schools, friends, families.. they generally push people to become more extroverted. It is something 'valued' to society to have tons of friends and they make you feel like something is wrong with you if you don't. But there is nothing wrong with being introverted. It means you respect your inner feelings and have alot of time thinking inward. Find more people like this and you will start respecting them for their mind and their actions, not their clothes or how many girls they can score.
You may have grown up with a higher maturity level and intelligence and have a hard time fitting in with your current crowd. so you may resort to trying to fit in with friends just so there is someone there. I promise you there are other people out there who would get along with you, but how would anyone know if you act like someone else. never be afraid to act like yourself.. then you will have real friends that want to be with you because they get along with your ideas and personality.. rather than pretending to be something fake.
See a counselor. No shame in that.
