Ugh, it sucks when a "worried friend" doesn't have common sense to not tell someone something. I think the best thing to do is just to wait for it to blow over...sorry to say. Don't avoid your "judgmental" friends though, and try to talk sensibly with them so that they realize that you aren't any different. (But if they're really getting to you... kick their ass. =/ )
