How popular do you think you are and what "group" do you hang out with

[AngloDoom]

I'm not too sure, really. For me, the whole 'popularity' business seemed to finish after compulsory education. Now it seems people wander about in their own groups, everyone they know is either part of that group in some way (such as being a friend or a friendly acquaintance), and everyone else is a stranger. I don't really see people being in a hierarchy where everyone knows their status any more.

I'm not sure what 'group' I'm in to be honest, since I consider myself to be 'normal' like most people. I wear mostly jeans and the occational pair of combats, I also wear dark-coloured tops or shirts because they go with my dark hair, which is long-ish and messily unkept. I also wear three pendants, and lots of wrist-items, bands, wrist-straps, beads, etc, and a ring on my left hand. I listen to all kinds of music, but mostly rock, indie, and metal based.
In a psychology study performed by someone I know people had to suggest what other people were in a group in terms of fashions. Most people were identified as a certain group after a few moments, but they stopped at me an pondered. I think someone settled on "a dark-ish surfer-type who doesn't surf".


For the most part I don't make much effort with friends. It's quite bad, I know, but I don't ever really get lonely. I'm just as happy on my own as with other people, but if they invite me out I'm happy going.

I am fairly popular. People know me even though i dont know them XD
I have a group of close friends but we are all completely different. not really any distinct kind of group. Of course, my best friend doesnt really like many of my other friends and hangs round with the more geeky, mega intelligent people so sometimes i end up hanging round with them. They are okay though but some of them lack a sense of humor

I really shouldn't be popular in the slightest, since I hate all the things that "popular" people don't, and because I am smart, and hang out with the nerdy/incredibly weird/thespian crew. I swear in my school popularity is measured in stupidity. However, due to the fact that I don't bother people in the slightest and can talk with any, I am generally liked, and am "an alright guy".

 

[StarStruckStrumpets]

Popularity is a matter of perspective. Most of the people in my school are chavs, and the only way you are ever respected by them is if you smoke weed and think having children gets you housing.

Among my friends, I am popular, and my group would probably be stereotyped as emos. Then again, I have no traits of he emo-clan what-so-ever. I'm rarely depressed, I don't not have one of those over-the-eye fringes, my hair is not black either. What a world we live in...

 

[Agent Larkin]

No and I am to put it simply King of the outcasts. You do the math.

 

[You_have_a_name]

i am weird because i hang around with the popular people outside school and the geeky people in school

- snip -

well you only say that because you are one of the unpopular people.

The "fuck conformity" group

Technically speaking, since being a non-conformist is the norm amongst young people, the only way to truely be different is to conform (this would make you unique amongst your piers).

I am at the midway point between popularity and apathy, many people know who I am but that's about it. I don't connect myself to any group or style, although I guess that by definition I am a gamer and a nerd/geek (I don't mind how people refer to me).

There are many things I seek, difference is not one of them.

 

[jdog345]

I'll hang out with anyone who isn't a total douche.

 

[purefuckinevile]

I'm... how to say....
the coolest fcuk you'll ever know and if you disagree I'll kick your ass.

My world doesn't really have the terms "popular" adjective any more. It's been some time since I have seen a use for it, especially among peers.

I just hang out with people I get along with and in that sense, we are all very popular in those groups.

I do have groups of friends and have different relations to them, though. With my classmates from 9th grade, I'm a lot more in focus than I'm in other groups. With my classmates from what I guess is similar to high school, I'm a bit more in the background. But even within that group, I have 4 close friends I can pretty much rely heavily on. I don't speak about the same stuff with them as I do with my 9th grade classmates.

 

[The Shade]

I'm in college. It doesn't matter any more. Just one big amorphous group.

The only people who are forced into groups are people who force themselves into those groups.

 

[Aur0ra145]

I can hang out with any and all groups, and I'm equally loved by all. Except the stoner group, fuck those dopers.

 

[andrat]

Anyway I fluctuated between several groups but now I just do my own thing and keep my friends from whatever groups. I think thats the best way to be.

Pretty well the same. Go from one group to another. Except the loser kids. They can fuck 'emselves ^.^

 

[HotShooter]

Not popular at all. I try not to be with groups and if I am I stay quite. My normal group consists of the shadows around me in the corners I sit in. People often come up to me and try to be friends but I know they just want to be nice to the the quite kid. I am also emo so that brings my popularity down further and I have a natural hate for other emos so I don't hang out with them. I am also a bit of a psycotic so my popularity is worse, and I hate most people in general so no one likes me in return. Most of my usually human interaction is because people come up to me and ask why my hair is so long and in front of my left eye. So lets see you top that.

 

[JanatUrlich]

lol I hang out with the popular kids at my college XD

but I'm friends with pretty much everyone in the college. I'm kinda easy to get along with

 

[Baby Tea]

I was quasi-popular, but I had friends in every group. I usually hung out with the 'gamer nerds', but I had friends in the jock group, the theater group, the emo group, the weed group, the drunk group, the pretty group...every group knew me.

It was great, actually, because the few people that didn't like me very much usually left me alone, because one of their friends was a friend of mine. So I pretty much coasted, socially, through highschool. Never hated, never celebrated, always content.

 

[-Orgasmatron-]

Everyone likes me, I get invited to all the parties, everyone assumes I'm a fairly popular dude, I don't actually have any friends.

 

[Chimpzy_v1legacy]

I am well-liked amongst friends and the people I work with. I can generally get along easily with people of all types and backgrounds. I don't consider myself to belong to any particular group

Am I popular? I wouldn't know since I've never felt the need to define myself in this way and at my age it would be rather sad if I did.
