So !!!

[justmatured]

since last week, I've vaguely been told that pretty much everyone in my group of friends dislikes how I have changed since I started dating my current boyfriend of two years (yeah, they took that long to mention it...). They don't give specifics but they say it's how I act when I'm around him. They also mention that I'm not as energetic, or as fun. Correct me if I'm mistaken, but unless someone's handing me a check at the end of the night with "clown payment" on the memo line, it's not my job to entertain. I understand that maybe I was the friend who made the jokes, but I didn't even notice myself stopping that. In fact I still uphold the belief that I am hilarious and I notice when other people are around me, they laugh. They say I spend too much time with him. Well yes, I spend time with him because he comes when I invite him to things, unlike my "friends" who don't come because they dislike who I have become. So they dislike me for not hanging out with them and for changing (I like to say it's maturing). When really I wasn't seeing them because they didn't want to see me! 6 months ago I moved one state away to go to school, and my boyfriend came along, also, This means I see my friends even less but even when I text/call them, they never answer. Now I'm getting all these complaints that I don't talk to them. It's a silly situation. I don't really know what to do about this. For them to say they don't like who I've become, is equal to them saying they don't like who I am now, right? I don't really have anyone else to turn to, how can I deal with this? D:

It sounds like you need to find new friends. People who will like you for who you are. If your friends no longer like who you are because your maturing. You have to ask yourself if these people were really your friends in the first place.
