I think i'm the disliked one of the group?

[Samual]

So it's bad enough that i'm no where near popular. But atleast i have friends, i think. So i'm in one of the very unpopular groups of friends, there are 5 others. For privacy reasons, i'll just name them Bob, Joe, George, Jim, and Billy.

Basically i just feel like the one friend in the group nobody likes. My friends are always hanging out with each other, having fun. I hardly hang out with them. I'll ask them to go out somewhere, or come to my house, but many times they say they cant, and i dont those all are actual reasons. Ill explain each friend.

Bob is the really really funny one of the group. He could make ANYONE laugh. He's hilarious. I was friends with him for a little over a year now. I think this is the person that hates me the most. He barely talks to me, wants to hang out with me, or anything. If I try to tell him stories or contribute to a converstion, his response will be something like "yeah" or "ok yeah, anyways" or something like that.

Joe is the second friend. He tells me that he is my best friend, but I HIGHLY doubt it. Im pretty sure hes best friends with Bob. I hang out with Joe more than any other friend, and i really like him as a friend. But like I said, something tells me he just doesnt like me. Ive known him for a little over 2 years now.

George is the quiet, but very smart one. The only thing is he is very quiet near me, but is more outgoing with the rest of the group. Hes still quiet, but you know. Ive known him for about 2 years

Jim is the VERY VERY VERY VERY violent one. He likes to hurt ANYTHING. But, as you may of guessed, he expecially likes to hurt me. JUST BECAUSE. And it HURTS!!! But he doesnt care. Like, at all. Also, he claims that he hates Bob, but he hangs out with him and talks with him alot, but just likes to hurt me! I've known him about the say amount of time ive known George.

Finally, there is Billy. Billy is very good friends with Bob, somewhat close with Joe, and very close friends with another girl i know, we'll call her sue. NO, NEITHER ME, BILLY, OR ANYONE ELSE OF OUR GROUP ARE DATING HER. Shes just a friend. But anyway, theres that. I think Billy is good friends with me, but he does like to hurt me like Jim. But not nearly a violent.

So can anyone help me out?
Do you think they hate me? All? None? Certain ones?

Also, there isnt a chance in hell i could get other friends. All the other people in my school are either too popular, gross/really strange, or something like that. Its not that i have high standards, its that everyone else does.

Help?

Why don't you ask them? They are your supposed friends for a number of years, so asking them about their opinion of you shouldn't be too hard. You could it either directly and honestly in one of those "bro" moments or you even bring it up in a joking matter and look for their reactions. If you feel like you can't ask them stuff like this, then you don't really consider them friends. Also, Jim sounds like a sadistic asshole. Don't see the point in hanging out with a bruiser who contributes nothing but pain and hate into the group. If you want my opinion you guys should either tell him he's being an asshole and to shape up or tell him to fuck off.

People will tell you "they're not your real friends", "just ask them" but it's not as simple as that aye?

Really, the only option I see without having to put up with it for some more time or just fucking them off, is to become a better person yourself. It's not your fault, but if you want them to like you, you have to be more likable! Maybe they think you're a loser or something, you have to be more confident and make other friends in school, and become better friends with friends you already have (And aren't assholes), and these guys will notice and perhaps give you more respect. Talk to a wider range of people and perhaps spend a little time with some other friends if that's an option because trust me it'll help you socially.

But seriously they aren't your real friends or they're just immature (I don't know how old you are but I'm going to assume 14) and personally I'd just go to another group. People shouldn't be like that, you may feel as if you won't fit in with other people but you CAN, you just got to take the right approach. Work on your confidence and self-esteem and try talk to other friends/peers, don't be clingy at all (THAT'S A NO GO) and just be nice, respectable and cool.

As you work on your socialization skills, you should be able to walk away from an interaction: picture being in the shoes of the person your interacting with - and interacting with yourself, and be able to tell yourself that you 'I left a good impression!' , 'He probably respects me more now' , 'They definitely like me more'

I could give my life story and that may help but I cbf lol.

This seems like a mix of paranoia and douchie friends. You might be overanalyzing the situation which is usually my problem as well. Mostly these kids sound like real douchebags. I don't know what you mean by hurt but I'm assuming you mean physical hurting. You shouldn't put up with that shit. Your last line you said you don't have high standards for friend's, everyone else does. It seems like you do in fact have high standards. Give everyone a shot no matter how gross or "weird" they look. Best of luck! Find new friends.
