Is living a life-style of being "fake" just for the sake of building your own social status, for the sakes of friendships with other people, justified?

If you have to be fake to keep the friendship with other people, why would you want to keep it? I say find other friends that like the real you. Like previous posters said, high school is an emotional time, everyone's young and of course wants to be accepted, some people take greater measures than others to accomplish this. I don't think being "fake" to build a social status or friendships is justified, but social status is important to some people.

Interesting blog; during high school years I made friends with many socially awkward people that weren't always "fitting in" and I took pride in that. Yet sometimes even a guy like that can show up at a party and since I was friends with many "normal" kids I would sometimes joke around and participate in mocking that "awkward" kid if it was funny enough. Obviously the "awkward" kid would think of me as a traitor, much like the OP. But I really wasn't, I did like him just as much as before.

Ironically same thing happened to me, one time this one guy I used to hang out with a lot and talk the deep talk ended up playing a bad prank on me along with everyone else, at the time I felt like he took a shit all over my soul. Imagine this, he called me last year absolutely out of nowhere, after not talking to me once for 5-6 years and said he was sorry for what he did back then. I didn't even remember that incident until he said he was sorry, I have no idea what made him call me. Regrets?

Humans are social creatures and sometimes their surroundings make their worst come out of them. Take it easy, look for a better friend but don't just ditch the one you have.
