I have two friend groups, one group that I have known since my earlier school days for 5-8 years and a new friend group that I have known since college for a few years.

My oldest friend group I feel as if I am a person that adds value to that group, in social situations I am able to be myself, make jokes and feel funny, have interesting conversations and overall have a good time with them.

My friend group from college, I feel as if half the time that I don’t fit in, I’m not that funny, I don’t have very interesting conversations and sometimes feel as if I don’t exist, and that I am just not interesting or add any value.

I’m not sure if it is just because this group is quite new and I am not fully able to be myself all the time like with my other friend group because I have known them for so long, or if it is because I am just a boring person and just too socially awkward to adapt to different people.

Has anyone had any experiences similar to this?
