I'm like this too. Though I'll observe it's so unlikely for me to feel left out, it rarely happens that I need to factor that in. But if I think there's a chance of that, well, maybe I do something I don't think I'm interested in to be with the people I am interested in. And I have to say, tagging along with interesting people doing questionably interesting things has been pleasantly broadening.
That said, while I don't feel left out, but I might be a bit bummed if a group of my friends get really involved in doing something which I find boring (and which made them boring to be around) all the time, and as such aren't as available to do things I think are fun too. As a hypothetical, if a bunch of my friends went off to do hard drugs together regularly, I wouldn't feel left out, but I'd feel quite disappointed at their concomitant lack of availability, and maybe even a bit abandoned.
