I got this problem that I don't want to get any worse. I have two groups of friends. One group is friends from my elementary and high school and basically the people that I stayed with all through high school. The other group of friends is roughly 5-10 people. I met them all through my best friend, who is older than me, so they are too. But I prefer staying with them because they are more mature and I feel more respected and valued in their group. I still hang out with my other friends because they are all my friends from when we were young, etc. But it's really annoying now because I'm getting to the point where I need to decide which group to prioritize. Like for example, tonight, I have a birthday to go to for a friend that is in the group of people that I went to high school with and stayed with a lot up until college. Me and the other group of friends (older ones) that I stay with more had been planning to go out tonight (Easter weekend) even before his invite. So I don't know what to do, not only for tonight, but in general.. because I know this is the first of many conflicts I'll be faced with. I've already thought about just inviting them all to do stuff together but it's really difficult because they don't share common interests and quite frankly, they don't know each other. I don't want to be left with neither because I neglected to make up my mind but then again, I really don't want to have to choose between friends. I like them all.
What should I do?
