Yeah... I'm starting to feel that my friends are finally getting irritated on me. With how I act adn how I speak. Im not really sure but whenever I reflect on my actions, I tend to think of it negatively. There are times that we have conversations wherein we tend to boast around, and it makes me feel that perhaps, by any chance they might be thinking I am overdoing it. It's sad just thinking about it. I plan to ask a friend about it and hopefully she answers me truthfully. I know that I am a person who often thinks that peopel probably don't like me even if we've just met maybe a few days ago or a few weeks ago. Maybe I'm just being thinking about it too much. I hope so. Whenever we hang out, I try to be less annoying. Though I don't really think I am THAT annoying. I don't talk and act like I am someone "big". Still, it makes me feel conscious of how I interact with other people. I had experiences with others who thought of me as a moody, or snob person and I wasn;'t even doing it on purpose. That's just the way I am. Hopefully, my new set of friends don't think I am like that.

You should be more open about this with your friends. Anyway if they are true friends, they may say something bad at your back but in the end they will accept you the way you are. If you feel like they are drifting away from you, just try to speak with them to clear things out.

I guess if you will that way you should talk to your friends. You can ask them during a light mood, no need to be really serious. Just try to ask them casually. Additionally, if you think you are being too much then try to tone it down a little. Nonetheless, just be your awesome self. True friends will accept you for who you really are. There is no need to pretend someone you are not when you are around true friends.

I think you need to communicate and interact with your those friends whom you think are drawing away from you. Communication will clear many doubts. Best of Luck.

I think you should just ask them directly if you they are starting to dislike you. Have a sincere talk with them. Make sure to tell what's wrong and tell them you're feeling that you're being disliked already and what you can do to change that.

Sweetie, I wish I knew how old you were so I'd know how to talk to you. Not baby talk, of course not! But I'd have an idea what mind set you're in. Since I don't know your age, I'll have to guess you're pretty young, say 16? 18? Anyway, let me tell you something, I felt like a sore thumb all of my life till I reached an age that I decided to be myself and people would either like me or they won't. BUT, I'm being me, not someone that I'm not because I wouldn't be happy being someone that I'm not. Who's more important than yourself? Nobody! So make yourself happy by being yourself and the friends will come and they will love you for being YOU. Now about the negative side in you, only you can change that. Nobody likes to be around anybody that's negative all the time. I can vouch for that because my oldest brother is very negative and so is hard to be around. I used to be negative too but I changed that about myself and now people like me more. It takes time to change yourself but you CAN do it, IF you really want to. But yes, the attitude does help or hinder your situation. Best of luck to you!

Just make new friends, and show them that you don't need them. That's what I usually would do when in your case.
