I'm going to distance myself from my friends due to them inviting someone I dislike
Why would you do this to your friends?
I want to save my social status and not be associated with that person.
I can understand how that might be hurtful but you should try and communicate with your friends when they invite someone to a social gathering that you don't like. Maybe you can compromise or even try to get to know the person a little bit better.
They should know that I don't like him. They should feel bad for inviting a negative person.
If that's true then they are in the wrong. But you need to be sure they know your distaste for that person. So talk to them.
