<human>: So my current situation is that I'm that guy that kind of knows everyone and gets greeted in class and that sort of thing - but I'm not tight with many. Except for this small group, which I'm trying to break out of. I currently feel 'locked' and was wondering if you could give me some guidance. Sorry if this is the wrong board.

'My other friends' are, sure, very nice people, but something about one of them (it's a trio, not including me) kind of rubs me the wrong way. I want to broaden my friend group as I'm kind of running low on numbers, because my other mates from high school moved out of town or whatever and besides, who doesn't want more friends? Does this make me a bad person?

The problem is that every time I go and sit with another group I just feel like a terrible being. I get overridden with guilt almost!

The semester has almost finished and I would have loved to have made some new friends to chill with over the long ass break. (You know how you have pals...but not that level of pal where you invite each other to hang?) It's not looking like that will happen.

What can/should/do I do?

Provide a brief overview of the text.
<bot>: I feel trapped within a small friend group at uni and want make some new buds but I'm locked down by guilt. Help me!
