Okay so I have had a group of friends I usually hang out with since high school. Now that were all 18+, I am the only one out of the group of 5-6 that is in college and has a job. 3 of them don't have a job or go to college because they don't want go to college. and the other two go to high school. I feel at times I get really annoyed with them over serious topics and other stuff. and somtimes i feel they can be really close-minded and stupid and not on my level. Like i feel me and my other friend are like the only one able of understanding abstract thought from the group.
I do have fun with them, but at times i feel my friends at my job and at college I can really relate to? am i being a snob? or does this happen?

No I don't think your being a snob, your just more mature than they are. Maybe its time to find friends that understand you better. You said you had one friend that understands you, maybe youshould hangout with thay person more and not saying you have to dump them, just get some friends that go to college and work

Like said above I don't think it's stupid or you're being a snob. People do tend to lose and gain friends all through life, it's just who you can relate to and what you're going through that helps you to.know who your grinds are. You dot have to drop them completely just spend more time with people you want to be friends with and that understand you.
I know it's jot the same but when I was in year 6 I thought I had the best friends in the world, going up to secondary we got split up, went to different schools, different classes and it was then that I found out how much they had changed. Now they completely ignore me, make fun of me even. Im jot saying that this will happen with you but im indicating that people do change and it's ok to stop being friends with them.

It felt weird because we have been like "besties" for awhile so it feels weird that we actually could like split up and go in different directions. Because I like to surround myself with people who can be fun but also be smart and intelligent.

Well even if you guys go separte ways, keep in touch, get together once in a while to have some fun, you can still be friends but you maybe not just be as close.

Yeah it will feel weird but you will get used it and you shouldnt worry about wanting to be friends with different people. Your tastes in everything change as you get older and that includes friends.

We all carve out our own destiny and have totally different opinions, its best to have an open mind on all things and not take everything seriously unless that's what the whole point of a conversation.
