I Am Going to Be Friends With Who I Want to Be Friends With

I've been hanging out with them since October and they seemed nice. They're crazy and very fiesty. They've been telling me I'm too nice and sweet and been bugging me to show my "mean" side.
Like when they are with my friends, they pretend that they don't know me and walk away. They always do that sometimes.
They be friendly with me but with their other friends they pretend to not know me. They would look at me and keep talking to them. That angered me but I pretend that it doesn't bug me. My dad said he's seen the way they've treated me. Even my oldest brother noticed it and told me to listen to dad and he is just protecting me. He also said, "You don't read people. That's your biggest problem. You lack that and that's why you get easily manipulated. Truth is, you're naive." I yelled at my dad, "YOU JUST DON'T LIKE MY FRIENDS!!! THEY'RE MY FRIENDS AND IM GOING TO KEEP HANGING OUT WITH THEM!!!"
He said, "You don't have to yell at me!! I'm telling you. Don't hang out with those girls! They are NOT your friends. Just because someone is smiling at you doesn't mean they're a nice person. Just because you hang with them doesn't mean they're your friends. You BETTER listen to me!"
I don't have to listen to him. He just doesn't want me to hang with them.
Why is my family saying I'm naive and too nice?
The girls ditched me at the homecoming dance to be with their friends and boyfriend's. I was hurt. I ended up sitting alone. No "I'm sorry" no "We feel awful". They just act like nothing happened. I was furious inside but I pretended it didn't bother me.

My oldest bro also said, "Have they mentioned ANYTHING about what a great person you are or anything about you. How much do they know about you?"
I paused for a bit. Then he said "Exactly, that's what I thought. They don't know a damn thing about you. They didn't even bother to get to know you. That shows they don't care. Stop chasing after those ugly girls and get new friends. Dad is right, listen to him. I think Those girls are just using you to get a head in that desperate high school."
Wow...that was pretty harsh.
I don't care! I can hang with whoever I want to. I am not naive.

Hang with whoever you want. But make a vow to take care of yourself. Be willing to let them know when they hurt you. How they behave after they learn what bugs you will prove whether they are real friends or not.

They don't sound like friends.

@kyredhead They are my friends! I'll prove them wrong.

@TallGirlLayla Do you drive them places or pay for things for them?
TallGirlLayla · 22-25, F
@kyredhead I don't drive. Plus they pay for their own things.

Is this all just made up in your head?
