I think everyone has felt a little inner struggle with this at one point in their lives. It sounds like you are living your life to please other people and live up to what they expect from you- its a miserable existence to have to be constantly aware of every action you take and their possible consequence. It doesn't sound like that is the real you. You would be much happier if at least did yourself the favor of exploring new groups of people and experiences (not to say that you should completely cut off the friends you have now.) Wouldn't you rather try to have a little fun, meet new people, and have freedom from the pressure of being perfect, than to settle into a lifestyle that has become superficial to you? Go out and enjoy your life-don't let the fear of being judged by others control you and cut you off to what could be great new experiences in life and meeting all kinds of people from all walks of life! Dedicate yourself to expanding and becoming a more whole person. Good luck to you!
Yes sweetie there are lots of folks that feel the same way you do.. I was raised in catholic school and by a very strict dad that demanded the "right" thing all the time..it sounds like you have a very good head on your shoulder and a clear thinker.. You can have a bunch of different friends. Its like you a certain food or color or movie you don't have to always conform and agree with everyone else it makes you an individual to think on your own and make your own decisions and trust me if someone gives you a hard time for not totally agreeing with them or doing just what they think is right you need to give your self some space from these people you are an individual and they are into control...put a smile on your face and be happy as long as you do good and it feels right then the rest will fall into place
Is there anything wrong with the people you don't think you should be talking to? I mean, if you're drawn to want to hang out with a decent group of folks verses being drawn to hang out with a group of drug addicts, there's a big difference. If your friends are truly your friends, maybe they're watching out for you. Just thought I'd flip the coin.
Do you still feel this way?? I honestly do feel the same.. But im not friends with rich people.. I mean ive been good all my life.. And i think thats the only thing i regret in my whole life.. For people expect much from you.. Afraid you would make them feel disappointed.. And worst laugh at your back..
but i did failed something these past month.. One important part of my life.. And i spread in all throughout the people i know.. And i never felt better... For i was able to let them know i am not that perfect.. I said we all are human.. We all have our down falls.. And i hope you can be just who you are.. People love you.. And im sure they will accept whoever you will turn out to be.. But if not? Then you don't deserve that person..

You need to come to self realisation of what you are in yourself and ingnore what others think about you and this will help you through all the challenges that come your way. Good luck.
Hey it a great thing to be responsible thats great,but i know where your coming from my son went threw this and some times its okay to cut lose and feel good about yourself and find new things and people you may like.dont do any thing that may hurt someone or yourself do not break the law.but at the same time take the time to smell the roses as they say. And if you want to make new friends then do by all means.if your old friends do not like it then you will have to make time for them and other things you like.trying new things can be great as long as they do not hurt anyone .we all have got threw this in one way or another so let your hair down as long as you know who you are what your goals are and you can always put your hair back up if you know what i mean.i hope i help out some.be happy no worries life is to short hun.take care .s
