Maybe that girl is more interested in your friend who is showing her interest & just not interested in you & doesn't want you to think that she is. Maybe she's afraid that if she shows more kindness to you that you might take it the wrong way as her having an interest in you rather than just being a nice person & just doesn't want to take that chance of having to deal with that problem. Sadly, that happens in social environments when the girl feels that the guy may not have the social skills to understand the difference.

But I am pretty sure this is not what is going on. It really seems more like she is annoyed by either my social awkwardness or dumb comments, which I usually make because I am socially awkward. She actually tries to be nice to me sometimes it seems, but at other times, particularly when I am inserting myself into their little social gathering, that she starts giving me that attitude.
I have faced this kind of thing all my life. The reason I learned to be socially reclusive is to avoid these humiliating experiences. It seems that even in the company of grown adults(these people are all in their 20s), nothing really changes. People continue to be judgmental and cruel. What I am asking is how I can protect my dignity without backing down from my social ambitions.
