Okay, I understand that, and that’s fine, everyone has people like that in their lives at some point.
But if you KNOW they aren’t really your friends, why would you complain that they don’t act like they are?
You can just ignore the first part of my advice (about not spending time with them) because it doesn’t apply to this situation, but you should probably still try and find people who you can actually be friends with based on your hobbies and interests.
Well, I just don't want to be shit on for my interests. Edit: But, I'm probably overreacting to something minor, that annoys me, as usual. Well, Another edit: How should I even do this?
Okay, well don't share them with people who you KNOW aren't really your friends?
I mean, it's fine to bring them up with people who you don't consider your friends YET (because otherwise, you may never know their opinion and miss out on potential friendships), but if you get shot down or made fun of and it's clear that there is no interest, just switch topics and look for someone else to be friends with.
