Awww. *hugs* You're not being pathetic and immature. Behavior like that is crappy and rude. I know it doesn't help right now to say you don't want to be friends with people like that, but in the long run, you're better off without them. It is hard to be a quiet person, but someone nice would take the time to get to know you and draw you out.
I had a similar experience with other American students while studying in Germany. The normally chilly and reserved Germans were a lot friendlier than most other Americans. It's like they had formed cliques before arriving and weren't letting anyone in.
And weirdly, I got along great with the Irish, although they can be unreliable; if they blow off a movie date, they can usually be found in a nearby pub. :-)
In fact, I wish I were there right now. We could get slightly hammered at a pub, and then go dancing. Instead, I'll just send transcontinental hugs. *hugs par avion*
