Venting is a wonderful thing.
If you have a shitload of emotions running amok in your brain and you need to get rid of them, talk about it to someone you trust.
Face it. You've got something on your mind and you don't know how to figure it out. Maybe you would like some help? Do you know anyone who you think will understand and is capable of giving an educated second opinion? If yes, then talk about it! And chances are, if someone is compassionate enough to understand your situation, then that person will also be compassionate enough to hear you out.
If no, how do you know that none of your friends will be compassionate? Have you ever tried to talk about real shit before with anyone?
Some people are afraid of talking firsthand about social situations. They classify it all with the negative category of "drama." Guess what. You're going to have to deal with shit like this at some point in your life. And if you have a problem with someone, be open about it. That's the only way you can get understanding.
Either you be open to people and tell them how you feel, or you hide it and talk shit behind people's backs. Your choice. And if your group of friends isn't open to each other, how can that be actual friendship? Are these friends or just a buncha guys you hang out with? You say they're your friends, but you talk shit about them to your other friends. How can that possibly be true friendship?
So talk to your friends about what you think. If they're understanding and compassionate, it won't hurt anything. If not, well, they need to learn how to be a friend. I'm not saying they need to listen to you spilling your guts all over the place. But at least be able to tell each other, "Hey, you're a nice guy!" or "Dude, your fly's open."
