<human>: Throwaway because my friends have reddit. Let's hope that they aren't subscribed to this subreddit.

Things are going downhill with me and my friends. Since we all started our internships (we are in our last year of college), they have become distant.

Especially towards me. I'm doing a special internship at a big company. Nothing special about that, if it was not for the fact that I'm working for my own startup with the guidance of that company. There are even some contracts that says that all the IP I create, belongs to me.

You could say that I'm seeing ghosts, but since previous year, when I announced that I'm working on a startup with help of our college and a few other companies, my friends didn't believe me and even ridiculed me. It was only when I got special privileges from college, like being able to skip classes, postpone exams and getting in special workshops and courses, that they understood that I'm serious.

And now my internship is halfway over, I'm getting ignored and don't even get invited to tag along to parties. I talked to one of my friends, who is doing his internship outside of the country, and he said that I might give them the feeling that I don't like to hang out with them. (I always come online to talk to them, but leave afterwards because I'm way too tired.) He wasn't sure if that was the reason, because he is abroad and didn't talk to them a lot either.

Right now there is this huge elephant in the room because I and 2 other friends were not invited for a party (we always go together) and no one wants to tell us why. They even went so far to send us drunk pictures from the place they were at. I tried talking about it and asked where they went and if there is something wrong but the question just gets ignored. 

This all sounds childish and trivial, but for me it is a big deal because I never had a lot of / zero friends and now when things get bad, I want to know why. And more importantly, how to deal with it.

Give me a shortened version of the text
<bot>: Things are going downhill since I do a special internship. I suspect jealousy, but that does not explain why some other friends are thrown under the bus as well.
