Feel like friends holding me back

    Hi,

    I have started going to a counselor recently to figure out a lot of things and it has become very apparent that my college friends are holding me back - now, it is hard for me to say this because it is very harsh but that is what has shown up. Now, i know that it really is my fault for letting them effect me in this way due to my shyness in my first few months and falling into this group but what can I do? I have lost nearly 2 stone recently and have no trouble now pulling on a night out but, my friends don't want to go out...They seem to all be permanently depressed and in general annoying...can I shake them off?

    Anyone else been in this position?

    p.s I am a 20yo male and they are 3 girls and 1 lad.

    This isn't about 'shaking them off' - this is about the fact that you and your friends have simply grown apart. there's no need to make such a huge deal out of this as stuff like this happens all of the time. All you umst do is accept that you are now different from them and that you must move on. Life never remains static, and that includes the people we hang out with. I am 26 now but speak to no-one from school, and I speak to very few from the college course I finished just last year. life always moves on, and that's all you must so now.
