super passive aggressive fight with sponsor..

soo...

i just got off the phone with my sponsor, who, herself, is struggling through a difficult time right now. I'm really grounded in my sobriety, but am having a miserable time relating to the other girls in my local AA/NA group. I'm a lot younger and feel oh so out of place when I hang out with them - they'll even poke fun at me for it! Plus, the girls are really clicky with each other, to the point that they are exclusive and high-school-esque. It's not the first time my sponsor and I have talked about it, but this was (by far) the most awkward, difficult, and uncomfortable conversation i've ever had with her. I really just had to explain that I have no interest in being with those people - and while I understand the thought behind fellowshipping, I've made sober friends I can hang out with in college so I have no need for hanging out with people who make me feel worse! She just retorted with "tell me how that works for ya" and typical AA lingo.

Really pisses me off..
any advice for how to handle this?
