You should probably get a new circle of friends or take a break from your friends. When you are no longer an individual, you are subject to the whim of the group. Most times you find out in instances like that if there's trouble, you really are by yourself. And plus, it's not that cool to be a follower anymore. People respect you allot more when you have an original thought or opinion and have enough pride in yourself to stick to that decision.

Stop that! It is important to set Boundaries with your friends. Do not except responsibility for things that aren't yours to own. The burden is heavy and comes at a great price. How much are you worth to yourself? If you continue to do this, your friends will stop respecting you, but even worse, you will lose respect for yourself. Start by being true to yourself. This means; put how you feel about a situation out there to your friends and be very clear about what you won't accept in your own life. If they ignore you, they aren't as good of friends as you thought they were, and your decision from there will be easy. Being a peacemaker isn't always the best thing to be. Stand firm and be honest. You don't have to be cruel and you don't have to except anyone elses expectations of you if it isn't who you are. Good luck!!
