In friendship the power of choice matters a lot, the people we choose to spend our time with can have a tremendous impact on us. Do the people you call friends accept your decisions and values? Do they encourage your vision or try to intimidate you and make you accept theirs instead?
One thing is if these "friends" cannot respect your opinion and share your ideals why else do you want to keep them?, You enjoy their company? Or you simply want to feel among?
You need to understand that your values and vision should come first because when the clouds get dark they are going to be all you have left, If they feel you are not worth to be in their midst, do yourself some good and cut them out, don't try to fake a personality to fit in.
Evaluate the need to feel accepted by these friends, build up your self esteem and worth, create your own style so you can choose your friends and not the other way round.
