My friends just dumped me. For. Good. I'm kinda shy, and have this big deal about jumping into a group. I've been sitting alone at lunch, but there's this group I really want to get into. I have two friends in it. Not like close friends, but friends nonetheless. And the guy I like is in this group. But the group is kinda out there. Pretty much all they wear is black, and they listen to music that I've never even heard of. I've heard of some of it..but not enough to impress anyone. I want to get into this group, but I don't want to change myself for them. How do I do that!?

That being said, just try and talk to them. Just because you don't listen to the same music doesn't mean you don't have other common interests. Talk about movies, your teachers, books, sports, anything. I'm SURE you can find something else that you have in common with them :)

You can just see what it's like,no one is going to force you to stay.While you're at it,get close to the guy you like.Ask him about his interests,strike up a conversation here and there,etc.Don't change yourself for anyone,ok?Just be yourself.People should like you for who you are,not for who you pretend to be.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes,
