There is a group of people at school that I became fairly close to during a field experience at school recently. Because we shared this expirence, I feel close to them. However, I often get the eerie feeling that they dont like me and worse that they talk s***about me when I am not there. I am not just being paranoid; I am not easily offended or overly sensitive. The people in question all pass themselves off as being so "open minded and non judgemental" yet really actually are very close minded and I can tell judge me constantly. I do love them as people very much and enjoy hanging out with them otherwise. I have tried to talk to them about it and they blow it off. How do I know what is really going on?. Its so annoying...

If you feel that they are not your true friends, just treat them as acquaintances, and find real friends to confide in and spend the majority of your time with. Otherwise, all you can do is ignore what they say.

It sounds like you need to back off a little bit.Remain friendly to them ,act like you are interested in whats going on in there lives ,and then walk away from time to time if they invite you to join them Great ,even if they don't , remain friendly , but not needy ,let them know you enjoy them but show them by your actions that they are in no way responsible for how you feel about yourself .Hold your head up be confident in who you are ,respect yourself enough to not let yourself be treated badly ,that means if you have to question their friendship towards you.There is a old saying you have to like yourself if you want to be liked by others ,and if you don't respect yourself don't expect others to. Good Luck

Just be yourself and people will either like you or not. If you feel that they are not real friends enjoy their company but keep yourself available to others who may be the real friends that you are looking for.

Find some real friends. These people are just acquaintances, not friends.
