Do you think you are a popular person?

I'm well like by some people, but don't think that is necessarily being popular.

It depends. On payday I'm very popular, EVERYONE wants a piece of me then. The rest of the week, not so much.

i don't know, popular with who? probably just kinda there...........

Popular as in people wanting to be me? Or popular as being on evreyone's guest list?
No, and no. I'm shocked people know me at any level.

I'm so popular. I'm so POPular.

I don't like to think in these terms. Having said that, I know I am not terribly popular here.

Actually, I don't know if I am or not. Most of the people I come into contact with seem to get along with me okay.

Hey, I've got nothing against you Matty.

Of course, that may not mean much...

Ha ha. No. See my recent forum post!

Nope. I'm a loner.

As I think about this, I think it's complicated. Really, being unpopular is some kind of deep part of my personality. I define myself as not being popular or like typical people. I'm special, or something like that. So, it's not like I think of myself as a loser. On the contrary, I see myself as unique and willing to go against the flow, to do and be the less popular thing, to be myself despite the social ramifications.

I do suspect that on some level it's just a sort of psychological reaction I've had. Probably some early bad experiences with socializing (there's vague, cliche evidence of this in my childhood). So, I built up a personality based on avoiding people on some level. Though, clearly, I don't entirely avoid people and in fact enjoy interacting with people. I relate it to introversion, which I don't see as a bad thing. Though, I think I'm just shy at times too, and probably have some amount of social anxiety (though, I can deal if I have to.. I just choose not to most of the time).

Then, of course, there have been times and certain settings, where I was popular. One of the internal thoughts I've had since I was in grade school was that I'm some sort "king of the nerds". Among certain others who may be outcasts themselves, I can do quite well. I suppose I'm popular on some level here and other places online. Does that count, it seems like it shouldn't. And, maybe some of you would even disagree. I see many of you as more popular here than me. Really, I just run the place and that makes me popular, regardless of who I really am. Or, maybe my personality is what makes this place... it's some sort of extension of who I am and affects many subtle aspect of the site. It can seem like that to me, though that sounds egotistical. I suppose it makes some sense and maybe I've become more like this place as much as this place is like me.

I don't worry or think about it. Treat people properly everything will follow.

Not really. But I don't try to be.

Nothing wrong with not being popular. It's better than being infamous, like a few that have come and gone (and come and gone and come and gone and come and gone) from here.

I'm not exactly worried about it, but thanks.

...but does it matter? Not really.

In high school I was. Not so much in the real world.

Yes, I am

Good question.

This is not really a standard by which I measure myself. I have friends who like me and whom I like. That is all that matters.

You are...good sir, THE ultimate supreme puppet master!!!
*cue 'crowd roars' sound effect*

No and I prefer it that way.

you read all that? wow

I really have very low esteem;and I don't think I am popular at all

No.... "Used" (giving rides, helping out, asked for stuff) by those who know me, yes..."popular" no.

I don't but everyone keeps telling me I am. :o)

Everywhere I go in my city, and in other cities, somehow quite a few people here and there. Somehow, through connections or through parties or even small meetings, I get around fairly quickly, and there have been so many times that I run into people who know me, yet I'm not familiar with them.
...honestly, it's kinda nice. (^_^)

In some groups, yes; in most groups, no.
