<p>Hello guys. </p>
<p>I'm a freshman at a large public university this year. I've been here for about a month or so, and I've been having an alright time. However, I haven't really made any real friends outside of those I came with from high school. I'm an extremely shy person and have always had pretty bad social anxiety, and while it's easy to say, "throw yourself out there," it is a lot harder to actually change who you are as a person. I've learned to just accept it and become friends with those who are able to look past their awkward initial interactions with me and get to know me. That may be accepting defeat, but it's whatever at this point.</p>
<p>Anyway, I'm a really avid runner, and most of my high school friends were people I ran with, but now I have to pretty much run alone. However, recently I actually met another guy in my hall who is into running, so we started hanging out a lot. We became pretty good friends over the past few weeks, but then this happened: </p>
<p>Some girls from high school came to my dorm when we were watching TV and asked if I wanted to go to some party with them that night. They joked a lot about drinking and made it clear what they do at parties (get wasted, like pretty much everyone else.) I never drank at all before high school, and I don't really do it now because I'm pretty health conscious, but I said sure to their invite. I asked the guy I was with if he wanted to go with us, but he just responded no in a weird sort of way and left randomly shortly after. I went with them to some party, drank a little, made out with one of the girls, and then walked home. </p>
<p>However, I knew the guy I had become friends with was not the partying type at all, which I don't care about. But ever since that day he completely avoids me, and when I ask if he wants to go run or something, he always makes up an excuse. He would say yes every single time before. It's like the one guy I actually became friends with judged me on a complete whim and hates me over a single situation. It's completely immature, and I feel like I should just say it up front. Should I just try to muster up the courage to tell him he's being immature or just forget about it and move on? I don't know if I even want to be friends with someone as petty as that. Friends don't come easy for me though so it's a hard thing to let go. </p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
