I don't think I fit in anywhere. Options

I used to hang out with the slightly more "popular" kids, who were all my best friends before. They could mostly relate to whatever I was feeling, like crushes or whatever. And then I don't know why, they started ignoring me, ditching me, for some reason. What, was I not good enough for them? I soon felt completely weirded out around them because I didn't feel like I was accepted. I figured they weren't really "friends" anyway so I went to hang out with my other friends, who weren't exactly "popular" and didn't have the same topics as my old friends.
I don't think I fit in with them either. Whenever I talk about some guy I like or something, they can't relate, because most of them haven't ever even thought about boys or that kind of stuff. I want to go shopping at some store like American Eagle or whatever, they're not interested because hanging out at the mall isn't "them." If I talk about a serious personal problem, they can't relate because their lives are too simple. And also, that whole group of friends have known each other a lot longer, and I feel like an outsider sometimes. It often feels like they don't want me in their group. And for some sort of reason, all my friends are at least two inches shorter than me, so I always feel like some sort of awkward pole sticking out.

"Popular" people tend not to be very good friends, because they will move on with people, just as they do with their freaky fashion mood swings.

Then again, you can't stereotype "popular people", because it all boils down to - What is being popular?
