To be horrifically blunt -
You're saying that many, if not most of your friends have grown distant and do not spend as much time with you as they did before. You also claim that you haven't changed very much. I find this hard to believe...
The most obvious response I can come up with is that either you (1 person) or your friends ( > 1 person) have changed.
You say that previously you have had many friends that all wanted to spend time with you and actively sought you out and now you don't. In your previous few breaths you mentioned that you're tired of drama and pretentious people who act like teenagers - who I'm sure are as shallow and bland as the girls that come into my store every day with a different guy on one arm and a new purse on the other.
I think you've changed, I think you've matured, and I think that you're better for it.
There is nothing wrong with being the octagonal peg for the triangular hole, it makes you interesting and bearable to be around. You've at least got some friends, probably very good friends, and I'm positive that as time goes on you'll find other people in your age group mature as well and join your cadre. (At the very least, you've got (so far) at least 8 decent human beings that you can complain to on these boards)
My best advice is to go out, act like yourself, pretend that you don't care what people think, and if they don't like you, fuck 'em - there's better friends out there anyways.
Hope everything works out!
