I've never been very popular, and I normally don't care. My train of thought for a long time has always been “They don't like you? Well, who needs them anyways.”, but within the last year or so, I've started to realize just how much I want people to like me, and how I badly want them to initiate conversation and to include me in their group discussions. For some unapparent reason, people seem to find me odd in person. I can typically converse with adults pretty well, and they always talk about how fun I am to talk to, but with peers it's a whole different scenario. Then again, 70% of my peers aren't really my type, but if the other 30% would just reach out to me, I think it'd really brighten my mood towards school. I have two good friends in person at the moment that I talk with often, but lately even they seem turned off by my behavior. Coincidently, I also have two Internet friends that I talk with on a regular basis, which would be at a higher number if not for a dislike in a few of my other web-pals due to their rude behavior towards me as of late. Basically, I've never been popular, and I've met few people I can actually relate to. What I need is a group of people who I can talk about similar hobbies with, people who won't leave me in the dust so they can go hang out with someone else. How do you guys feel about this? Are you popular? Do have many friends? Or do you have similar experiences as I?
