Hi everybody,

 

I just finished my freshmen year of college, and developed a pretty solid group of girlfriends there. I am close with two of them, and very close with one of them, who is going to be my roommate next year. There are three others who I am friends with, but out of the whole group, this one girl and I are definitely the closest (I will call her Girl A).

 

However, Girl A is also very close with this one girl in the group, who I will call Girl B. Girl B and I outwardly appear to be friends, and get along, but I get the feeling she doesn't actually like me. I can have a tendency to be paranoid in social situations, but I just can't grasp how this girl thinks: we are very different people.

 

To be honest, I think she's kind of boring. She's very conventional, basically the stereotype of a typical dramatic girl: for example, once she started bawling and created a huge scene because Girl A was at a party and didn't hear her cellphone ring when Girl B called her, so she had to wait outside for like 5 minutes. I, on the other hand, am the type of person who would probably be momentarily pissed, but then be like ok whatever if they want to call me they will and call someone else immediately and not think about it again. I'm not saying one response is better; I just don't understand why someone would react that way.

 

Girl B is a perfectly nice person, although I know for a fact that it is sometimes fake. Thats what worries me; she acts nice to everyone so I don't know what she is actually thinking about me. I feel like she thinks I'm crazy or a mess or something; she is such a buzzkill at parties I feel like she judges me for having fun. Girl A has agreed with me that Girl B is definitely not "fun," although she wants to be.

 

However, Girl B has a lot of friends that she seems to get along with just because of her super-sweet demeanor. I feel like she just expects people to like her, people who I would be intimidated by, and want to like me, but would just assume that they would never like me. I'm not shy once you get to know me, but I am pretty shy at first (although people always tell me I come off as really intimidating at first). She is very concerned with knowing the "right" people, and I don't really understand why these people like her so much because in my opinion shes not that interesting at all! But maybe you don't have to be interesting to get friends, just nice.

 

She thinks a lot of people who I find interesting are "weird," and I get the feeling she thinks I'm "weird" too. I'm not sure, maybe she's jealous of my relationship with Girl A or something, but Girl A and I are really similar so I don't know why she likes Girl A and not me? Idk, it just bothers me that we can't get along and I feel like I am socially inept because she is clearly socially ept and doesn't seem to like me.

 

Everyone else in our group of girlfriends has exchanged "hi, how has your summer been?"s with her at least, and we haven't made any effort to contact each other. Basically, my question is, should I leave her a facebook comment or something asking her how her summer went? What if she didn;t respond? Would that be the ultimate "I don't actually like you"?
