I found out my group of “friends” from high school have been talking shit on me. They were saying personal stuff. Some of these guys I thought I had a mutual respect with for a long time.

When we hang out, I feel uncomfortable and distant. I know I’m the friend none of them like. The answer is obvious, drift away. But, I just need some advice on how to go about this situation.

EDIT: I’m not sure exactly what they said. Should I ghost all of them? Or confront.
