Are you popular, or do you wish you had some more friends?

[Bucky McGillyCuddy 956]

Not really, I only have 1 or 2 friends I see often and lately I haven't even been hanging out with them. It doesn't bother me though, i enjoy the solitary life and the quiet it brings. 

[Mr F 1,522]

not at all. I have 5 friends I hang out with and around 4 friends that is not as close but we go together and play games all day. (LAN reminds me of one being soon yay  )

That is the little of social things I ever do....

[Miss Mechanical 88]

I'm not really a people person irl, so I don't really have a lot of close friends. I'm sort of a loner lol XD I'd usually rather just be drawing and listening to music by myself than with a group of people.

 

Soo am I popular? I don't think so, I think I'm popular with my fashion taste and that's it.

[Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,309]

I have never been popular honestly and truly, I do wish I was, but for a specific reason. If I were to be popular, I would want it to be the result of me doing something right and at least a little bit important. Then I can feel worthy of something for once, as I don't most of the time.

 

In terms of wanting more friends, sure I do, but I am a loner for the most part. I am incredibly anti-social and I do like my privacy. Having more friends would be nice, but having too many has more negatives than positives in my opinion.

I am not the least bit popular, but I love and cherish the many friends that I have. ^^ I'm not well-known, but I have plenty of great friends both online and off, and I couldn't be more grateful for them. xD

 

Plus popular people have to be, like, NICE.

I am not very popular online and offline. I’m a wallflower that does enjoy conversation.

I used to be very popular years ago. Currently I am not popular, but I do wish to make some more friends over time. I'd like to make some friends where whether it be online or in person, as long as we understand each other, I think we'll be okay.

I was back in my prime, at least on this website. It was fun, but it was more of a phase than my regular attitude. In general, I am quiet and content to just let things happen. I am not one to pass up the opportunity for a good discussion though, when the opportunity arises.

I have two rl friends. I like the idea of more friends but honestly I don’t think I could handle much more. I’m not the greatest friend I think. I love them very much but sometimes I just don’t feel like talking for sometime a month. I just get real anti social. Idk why I use to want to talk to them every day but now I just kinda stay to myself. I feel bad honestly the more I think about it. I use to know everything about my bff but I slowed down when she got a job but then I just kinda stoped.we’re the kind of friends who pick back up no matter how long though. I’m sad rambling now. 

I guess I’m just not good at people.

[Cash In 22,213]

Eh. I only have a handful of friends offline, which I don't really have an issue with. Online, I definitely have more, but I dunno if I'd call my self popular. :p

I feel that. Here’s to both of us hopefully making new friends!

[zerox 1,096]

I don't have any IRL friends in my age range sadly. I only have online friends. I would like more online friends.

[Iforgotmybrain 5,479]

I constantly go between wanting more friends and feeling like I have enough. I think the main issue is that I just don’t have many friends I really trust, who I feel comfortable actually talking about more serious stuff with. And I can be a bit dramatic at reading people’s interest in conversation. If I feel like I’m the other person isn’t really interested in talking I’ll probably just drop the conversation because I don’t want to be a bother. Which can make it difficult to really get to know someone.

[TBD 17,254]

I wouldn’t say myself the “popular one” but I’m often well-like by most people and strangers alike both in my work and personal. Although- it will take a person or two among the group for me to consider them as my friend. People don’t choose me to be friends, I choose them. Since I keep thinking these people who “likes” me tends to have different objectives and not because they wants to be my friends. I would do the same too anyway.

[Tacodidra 61,046]

On the forums, I'd say I'm quite popular. Maybe not as much as when I was at my most active, but I still have quite a few friends here, and people know me for my brohoofing if nothing else.

Offline, not at all. The few friends I have are ones I see very rarely, and I've completely lost contact with the rest (and there still weren't that many) years ago.

Ugh I totally feel that this is so relatable. Sometimes I feel so dry/boring in conversations that I feel like I'm signaling people away.

[EpicEnergy 23,167]

I've never been popular and never want to either. I do wish I had some friends irl, but I guess I'm fine without any friends irl right now because people give me too much anxiety.
