The secret of popularity

[Aussie_Lad]

The thing that stands above all over is simply that popular people are able to "give" more. They are the people that will make others laugh. They are the people that will shock others with some of their stories. They are the people that lend an ear when it is needed. They are the people that will help others either physically or with their knowledge, with or without pay. On the other end of the scale, we all know some people who will talk about just about anything even if no-one is listening, but the popular people will be able to recognize when people are listening, and will shut up if it is inappropriate to be talking.

Coyote summed it up once again, well.

I agree... It makes me so sick, and depressed too. I really do try my hardest with everyone I meet. But even so, I'm always the loner. Because I'm a little quiet and awkward.
I hate how it all works out in the end.

some people just give off that vibe of confidence. its not only that its being attractive. when i was in school i wanted to be popular so bad. there was this one guy who i competed with constantly in school. we were rivals in everything... he was really popular.. everybody there loved him and i got made fun of by everybody. i remember when we used to play baseball, everybody wanted to be on his team but not mine. they would even follow him around the baseball field like sheep. i could never understand why everyone preferred him over me...even though we were just kids. i guess he made them feel good.
looking back now its kind of silly. it did affect me a lot. now i would settle for a few good friends i can trust.
