Strangely enough I cant find people who click with me who have the exact same hobbies I have. So I am stuck having a different group of friends for different things and I am not sure if its a good or bad thing.
For example, I have a group of friends that I play basketball with, one that I party with and hang out with the most and another group who aren't really outgoing but I am closest to them and can tell them anything. I feel kind of weird about it but I have tried to get these people to do stuff for example the party guys to play basketball but they wont do it and vice versa.
Is this a weird thing or is anyone in a similar predicament?
I try to have a wide range of friends. That's what it was like for me in high school. But in college, people are more clannish. They think you have to constantly be with them or you're not a true friend. They think you either have to be part of their group or find a new group. Yes, it's quite the predicament.
I have a few different groups of friends and I don't view it as a bad thing at all.
It gives me a lot of options when it's time to go out, do something creative, volunteer....etc. It also allows me to experience a variety of different people, opinions and backgrounds.

This is not weird and no, you are not the only one with different groups of friends.
It would be very rare for every friend you have to know and like every other friend you have.
I just think that it is so ironic that only one hobby matches with one person. There are a few people that I know who do have all of these things as hobbies but they dont really click with me so I dont really hang out with them. Its kind of overwhelming having to keep up with so much people =X
I moved here about a year ago, and have found it difficult to really meet friends, Of couse, I work about 70 hours a week too...but I have the same issue, a friend I hang out with, a friend I exercise with, a friend I go out to movies with...it is really hard to meet women friends at my age.

I found the opposite. In high school they're more 'clannish'. Maybe it's different with girls though.
