Yeah, just talk to new people if you're not happy with where you're at. But, don't get concerned with how popular you are. Popularity really doesn't matter.

Psst, tips

1. If you're funny no one cares about anything else

2. The easiest way to be funny is to just be mean to people both of you don't like.

3. Profit!

I fail to see how step 3 will help his social status. Last guy who tried that ended up....we all know.
Also, step 5 should be step 3.
C'mon, bad advice guy. Take it from the dude with Advice Puppy in his Avatar, you gotta l2advice.



Thats not funny :(. My favorite comedian is Jewish :(.
Well, that's not surprising. Tons of comedians are jewish.

i am chillin with my band crew but feel to mature for them but can hardley become popular... grrraaaahhhh i hate how im not fitting in where i belong
You say you are too mature for the band crew, but then you say you can hardly become popular; you do not need to equate maturity with popularity, as they are not directly related. You say that you are not fitting in where you belong, but you say you want to be more popular; you do not need to equate fitting in with good friends and being popular, as they are not directly related. Be yourself, do what you like, and be nice to other people. You will find people with similar mindsets, similar maturity levels, and similar interests over time. I do not know how old you are or what grade you are in, but the transitions from middle school to high school and from high school to college always allow for new friendships. You can also join a new club or a new team.

I know how hard it is to talk to people: I've been diagnosed with socialphobia.

As said before, popularity has nothing to do with maturity. Popular people are usually two-faced, fake, and are stupid. I mean, everyone has bad qualities so what I would recomend doing is find something you're good at or interested in, and run with it. I mean, being popular doesn't mean chilling with the "cool kids" it simply means that you generally get a long with most people.

So when I meant "run with it", I mean either joining a club that has that in it, or using that talent around school.

For example: say you're playing music. You could start a jam session club, where people get to jam, talk about music, plan performances, meet other people who are also into music (or to find other people for a band), and maybe perform at open mics or something. This is REGARDLESS of the instrument. Plus, you could even turn it into some kind of community service where you go to underprivilged neighborhood schools and teach at the music program (if they have one) or something. I mean, if there IS a jam session club, then join it. If there isn't. start one.

The hardest part about this kind of thing is breaking the ice. As said by a very famous hockey player, "You miss all the shots you don't take". What have you got to lose? You'll still have your band crew.

Oh, and that's the thing, do NOT abandon old friends...you'll regret it later.

Good luck!

I'm learning to be more social, taking that extra step to make new friends. You know when you're talking with someone and you're both about to leave and be like goodbye, instead I'll ask for that person's number so we ca hang out sometime(I've only done it twice, and one of the times I guess the other person was the initiator); I feel like I lack friends who I can confide in and I'm trying to change that.

First off, why does it matter. Talk to everyone, popularity is fleeting and will get you nowhere in life. It's better to be liked by everyone than to try and fit some social norm.

Secondly, you mentioned popularity and maturity in the same sentence...that automatically means you're not as mature as you claim to be if you care.

I'm almost compelled to believe that anyone who feels obligated to blatantly refer to themselves as "mature," don't really grasp the sordid monotony of the term.

Yeah. Typical High School Thread. See underlined.

Does this include the "stupid emos" and the "ugly girls" and the "uncool outcasts"?

This, so much.

I have plenty of friends and I never once tried to be popular. I'm incredibly odd, I'm a geek and I don't hide that fact, but there are actually a decent number of people who like me. I'm not popular, but I'm at a pretty decent point while still being who I am.

Trying to fit in and be popular is not going to do you any favors. Purposely trying to reject anything that's "cool" or popular is stupid, but you can simply be yourself without trying to be popular.

Then again, I realize that this is one of those things where someone telling you is likely just going to come off as obnoxious, and you'd have to realize it on your own, but what Chaco's saying is completely accurate from my experience and there's no reason to attack him for saying what he said.

I dunno, I'm not in High School anymore and I still want to bang every girl.
Man LT have standards bro =/
LT wants to catch them all.
I lost.
