They're not friends just collegues, mates, fellow peers, buddies. I have only 1 friend and he knows me from A-Z. He will know all my intentions but will never do anything to mess up my reputation, but if I look like a loser to these guys they might not think of me as an alpha male and it will be harder to appeal to them later although they will still be my pals of course. Just want to make an illusion of a cool person. I don't have my real persona, I just change colors whenever I feel like it.
You also misunderstood. I am like this outside social group but when there are people from my social group so I can show them that I am cool with other people outside my social group

Something like that.
