I am constantly petrified that people don't get along with my boyfriend, or that he might be saying or doing something which might make people not like him.
Recently my closest friends met my new boyfriend.
As I understand, my friends didn't like him.
It flipped me out and I couldnt stop thinking about it all night, and I still am now.
It's not the first time I lose interest in a guy because of the negative comments from my friends.
I don't want to lose touch with my boyfriend, but I can't stand the fact that I care what others think.
What should I do to change myself?

You might wanna find out why nobody likes him. Maybe he's an asshole but you're blinded by love.

Prioritize. Think: who's more important?
And also, compartmentalize. Your boyfriend doesn't need to interact with your friends. If they don't like each other, so what?
We can't all be best friends.

Or maybe the friends are assholes. Who knows.
We all have to learn to judge character eventually.

The main reason why most of my friends didn't like him, because he didn't talk much ( shy ) and if he did, he would usually discuss with me with interesting topics.
My friends were annoyed they couldn't join the discussion, because they didn't understood the topic. They acted like assholes.

I respect and love my friends, but when it comes to talk about things like these, they can act like total assholes.
If I'll be with my boyfriend, they will push me out of theyr friend circle, in other case, they wont be in touch as much .
When they met my boyfriend they acted like assholes and I've noticed that my partner felt awkward around them.

That is why I want to change my childish thinking.
You know, friend circles change all the time. it sounds like it's time to drop your friends if they're such childish jerks.
Get some friends that have some sense of common courtesy and sense and you won't have to worry about this problem again.

It sounds like your friend are probably attracted to your bf. If they care that much about your bf not talking much then they clearly are interested in him. If they weren't they why would they give so much of a fuck about something like this?

Your friends sound like real assholes. Why are you friends with them again? If I were your boyfriend I'd feel like absolute shit, and he probably does if he's the prototypical shy guy.

Your friends sound like total bitches. The poor guy is probably minding his own bussiness and your friends are judging him for it.
