Since you mentioned that this happens no matter what group you are part of, is it possible that part of this feeling is based more on your own perceptions of things? That your friends keep inviting you really suggests that they *do* like you. If they didn't, they wouldn't ask you to come with them in the first place.

It really is a confusing situation, where they like you enough to invite you but not enough to listen to you. I kind of wonder if group situations aren't just like that, where people feel like they aren't heard or liked. I know that I feel that way a lot of times even if I know intellectually that it isn't really true.
I get what you mean but I sometimes feel like they do it out of obligation. In the past with different groups I have been invited multiple times only to find out later that they never wanted me with them the whole time. They just did it out of obligation, the whole time they were wishing I was not there. Now I constantly worry that will happen again but I get what you mean though.
