I don't want to be popular, but I don't want to be seen as a total wierdo either. I try to keep a low profile whenever I can. Going around saying wierd things or acting abnormally will make you really unpopular.

I do not care about being popular, but I do kind of care about fitting in. I keep as quiet and small of a profile as possible. In college, that makes people think you're really smart (especially if you make a comment and the professor agrees with you--double points if you say something and the professor says he's never thought of it that way before), whereas in high school it marked you as a target. (And I say really smart because that is what students say after class, not because I think that I am really smart, or an expert--but I am smart.) Smile

I am generally well-liked by people, though.

I never pretend being something I am not. I'm not popular, so I don't know how being popular feels.

I don't like being the center of attention, for example in parties, or my birthday. I don't like birthday's parties, cuz a lot of people is watching me, hugging me, touching me, and I hate it. That's the reason I think I'm not born to be popular Confused

I want to fit in (though not be popular) so people won't bother me and so I won't feel uncomfortable around them. Also there might be some people I'd like to be friends with.

I don't care about being popular. I don't need a whole group of friends. All I need is one. Having a husband or boytfriend be nice. Right now I'm just looking for men and into meeting bunch of them. That's the only way to get a boyfriend.

I am not totally unpopular like i was at my last schools. alot of people in my year know me as the strange but nice one... or at least that is what i have been told. i have also been told that most people in my year do not want to pick on me because i am unpredictable and they knows i have taught teakwondo.

lion mostally stays in my bag at school, and i have wonderd many time what epople would really think if they knew that i en over to the unit / had autidm.

There is a kid in my year who has asperger (i know because he did a big talk on it a while back) and i keep trying to mention it to him, but no luck yet!

^licks^

Well, I've been the renegade, the (failed to be) nerd, the freak, the philosopher, the oddd, the artist, etc...

I am not desperate to be popular, I just want to have friends (though that is alreday difficult), but if I get popular for some reason, it doesn't bother me either.

Only enough not to have people throw stuff at me when I walk the streets.

Caring what others think is to be controlled by them.
Worrying about others opinions of you will only slow you down.

Popularity = sucks, trust me it sucks nobody will ever leave you alone and they are too ignorant to figure out that you want to be left alone I would much rather be lost in my thoughts with a bit of peace than to be bombarded with questions and well im not good with names so when I forget, not if i forget, their names they get upset over something so small as a name, people in general are too . . . . emotional is one word for it why cant everyone just be more understanding and accepting?
