I really love myself and know who I am. Last year I was lost and mixed up with the WRONG people. Define wrong: they were leading me astray, I was allowing them to influence me. The more you are in that environment the more likely you are to reflect that environment subconsciously. I have completely lost interest in these people. No Hi's no Buys. Nothing personal, but I am at another stage in my life. I feel like for the first time I am enjoying my life. I couldn't get along with some of them in the clique and began to mistrust those who belonged to that clique. If they ever ask me why I am "ignoring them" (their perspective), what can I tell them without sounding as if I am better than them. From the beginning they interpreted what I said in a negative way. Now I have lost complete interest. I'm here for my education.

I have friends and there are millions of people in this world. No More. There are so many opportunities coming my way. Why not enjoy them.

1213 you make them sound as if they are interested in hearing my reasoning. They don't like the TASTE of their OWN medicine. They want to kill me.

I'm looking for other perspectives. I want peace not war.

If you have chucked them out of your mind and heart then go ahead with conviction. After all your decision is yours and you came to this pass after going through all that crap. Stick to your point and look forward.

Good for you for taking yourself out of a negative situation first of all. I was in the same boat as you a few years ago so I TOTALLY understand where you are at. It is really hard to answer their questions without sounding "holier than thou", but the truth is that you ARE in a much better place in life than they are. When they ask you why you are "ignoring them", you can just tell them that (fill in the blank with whatever activities you all used to participate in) , "_______ doesn't satisfy me anymore. I realized that I have other responsibilities in life that are more important to me than that and that was distracting me from them. Nothing personal against you, but I needed to step back from that scene for me". Sure, it might sound a little bit like you are telling them that you are better than them, but they will have to get over that. Deep down, they know that you are and they are more than likely a little jealous of you for being able to step back.
Stand your ground and know that you are in a much better place. I am proud of you for knowing who you are and sticking to your guns. Good luck!!!

You've answered your own question. You are at another stage in your life. So, you tell them that while you enjoyed their company, you realized that you had little in common with them. You appreciate all that you shared and learned but that you no longer feel that you are contributing to the group. It's time to go.

You don't. Many people will disapprove of us and our choices. You can let it bother you or go about doing what it is that is important to you. Their choices are not consistent with your goals.
They are correct, you are ignoring them. No matter how much you explain yourself, you will never convince them as to what you want and your reasoning for doing so.
Learning to say "no" is a good life lesson to learn. Listen to their complaints and then let them know that you need to focus on your education.

"DUDE why are you ignoring us???"
"well its just that..."
"what do you think you're better than us or what?"
"i..."
i can honestly say that anything i say won't be better than what you've probably already thought of. so say whatever's on your mind. let them take it negatively, enough has to be enough.
