Awkward Friends of Best Friend

[george]

My best friend, we'll call him Vince, has 3 other "better since he's known them longer" best friends, Don, Tim and Keith. Don and Tim told Vince that they find it awkward whenever all 5 of us hang out while our other friend Layne also finds it awkward whenever we all hang out. I'm personally am not that good of friends with any of them except for Vince. Whenever I wanted to hang out with Vince, he'd always say "maybe", which would usually turn into a "no" later, or he'd say he was busy but then later during the week during lunch, I'd hear about how the weekend was so much fun from Don or Layne. I asked Vince about it all and he told me the reason why he usually never invited me to do stuff with his other friends was because Don, Tim, and Layne found it awkward to hang out with me. Vince says we're really good friends but we hang out like every 2 or 3 weeks and he never seems to want to hang out. It's not like I'm an awkward person since Keith and Vince don't find it awkward to hang out with me, it's just the other 3 friends find it awkward. I'm really just the odd one out since Layne is better friends with Don, Tim and Keith than I am. Vince, Don, Keith and Tim were all really good best friends and were they're own circle of friends. I'm really just friends with Vince and consequently hang out with Vince's other friends. I don't have anything against any of them, though I find it awkward hanging with Don and Layne since we don't have much in common but am perfectly comfortable with Tim and Keith. What do I do in this situation? This is somewhat more of a rant but still would also like some outside input on the situation.

Definitely a different and difficult situation. You know, I'd make an effort to get to know the troublesome three. Whether that be on Facebook chat or just talking to them more, I think that any awkward feeling around someone can eventually be erased if you put the work in. If that doesn't work and you've done all you can though I just suggest you find a new group of friends because there's no point bothering with them anymore :P Maybe they'll realise what they're missing and come back to you, who knows. Good luck bro

That's the thing though, I've know Layne since the 6th grade, actually longer than everyone else, but we weren't really friends. I've tried being friends with everyone and the only person who I seem to click with is Keith even though, in my own personal opinion, I'd say I'm a lot like Tim, personality wise and like how we think. Keith and Tim don't actually go to the same school as the rest of us so it's harder to talk to them so I usually tried talking to Tim on Facebook but yeah that I guess didn't last that long. I don't know what it is, maybe it's just cause our personalities are different and don't really mesh, but it's just awkward to be alone with just Layne or Don. Vince and I are still going to talk about it in a little so I guess I'll put an update post on how that goes. I honestly don't think anyone would miss me other than Vince and Keith since all of them already hang out with out me on the weekends anyways.
