Were you popular in high school?
Were you popular in high school?
literally me on the left
yes
The only difference between me and the guy om the left is I would have been picking my nose.
No I was bullied
No, although I was buds with a popular stacy
Yes, everyone knew me as the biggest loser in school.
Nuh, i was fatty with no friends. Though nothing have changed.
I was better than anyone
in my head
no, I was that autistic guy who was handsome enough to not be bullied by girls but still have trouble making friends with guys
I feel like I've missed out on a lot now that im 20
Yes, I was the biggest Paglicacci/faux boomer. Never bullied and I was “friends” with everyone. I only had like 4 real friends though, everyone else just liked to talk or hang out because I was funny
No, by senior year I didn't talk to anybody and nobody talked to me.
what means "be bullied by girls"?
wtf, do high heels give girls that much height?
Like this
I never went to school I spent my childhood traveling the world to hone my combat skills
girls being generally mean, gossiping and intentionally excluding you from groups(group assignments etc). They can also bully you like guys do but it's rare.
I've seen them do it to fat, ugly and hyperautistic kids but they were always nice to me
nah
I am in high school right now
The girls on the left are two different girls.
Not really
Yes, and no. Ive always had a really scary face, so people tend to avoid me. Someone spread a rumor in HS that I was hung though, which led to some easy sex.
Well I kept to myself mostly and then by the time prom came and we were about to part ways a lot of people in the 'cool' group including my biggest crush told me they thought I was allright and that it was a shame we didn't hang out more. Then I got added to a bunch of facebook chats (no whatsapp or stuff like that back in the day) but people dispersed really almost immediately and those went dead super fast.
I regret it so much now, but on the other hand, maybe they thought I was cool precisely because I didn't run around after them like some other dorks.
>Someone spread a rumor in HS that I was hung though
Was that person you?
Nuh, i remember girls could say some joke about person but generally were always nice and shy.
Though as there were real gangsters in my school they could make sure that boy can be really dangerous if bully them.
Also I guess my hobbies were pretty normie tier, basically football all day and a short phase with fitness, so they couldn't put the gamer nerd weirdo tag on me even if they wanted to
>Be me back in highschool
>Walk past group of girls
>They stop gossiping as soon as I am near them and go completely silent
>When I am far past them they start giggeling and laughing thinking I dont hear them (or at least pretending to)
Every. Damn. Time.
No, but I had friends. I would hang out with autistic weebs as well as stoners and party boys. That is to say I wasn't unpopular. But by the end of high school I was infamous. I won't say why but everyone knew me for not good reasons
No and I had no friends
>Were you popular in high school?
Popular but not really in a good sense, like, people knew who I was and had an opinion of me, but not always a good one.
Not at all, I went through about 5 different schools and in each had to go about proving myself to these mongs to earn respect by getting into a fight atleast once since I kept mostly to myself, my grades were pretty shit too because I was lazy and uninterested, no real friends too to back me up either.
Luckily most that tried to pick on me were pretty scrawny and short, after that word spreads quick and then they just keep their distance, not that it always went well.
No. I was poor in a school for rich kids.
That's not how rumors work, user.
You can absolutely subtly start a rumor about yourself, silly.
The moment when I reached my peak of popularity was once when a gypsy girl from another city who used message me tagged my in a Tuenti photo (old Spanish FB) of a baby ultrasound of her. My classmates were mocking me for years thinking I was the actual father of the baby.
I think this episode explains everything
popular means you are well liked by people. if people know you and have bad opinions of you, could mean you're infamous
I used to sell weed to everyone so yes.
In Spanish "popular" means that is known by people and doesn't have that meaning, so I got confused expecting to have the same meaning in English.
Yes, although none of my really good friends went there. I got asked to prom by four girls in total, so I just went with the first one that asked, since I had a girlfriend that went to another school.
they have very similar meanings, just in english it means a lot of people both know you AND actually like you
I was neutral/respected. I had a stable group of 5 good friends for the first year which expanded to 9 good friends in the second year and remained so for the rest of high school. Once I got to talk to the new guys in our group they told me that they were intimidated by me and that's why they didn't talk to us earlier. No idea why that is to be honest.
I'm not clever enough for that.
Reported
by the end of school I'd say I was very popular. I liked everyone and everyone liked me. It was an amazing feeling being surrounded by people who valued me and enjoyed my company, feeling like I belonged to a group. Leavers party and the party we had at the end of summer were unforgettable, pure contentedness, the closest I believe I will ever get to peak happiness.
It was a big shock coming to university in the big city, surrounded by people who don't care about me, people who look nothing like me, have different beliefs and values, likes and interests - just an atomised individual adrift in an uncaring system.
coming home for holidays is what keeps me going, I often see my old classmates out and about, we always stop and chat, they haven't changed a bit, brings me right back to the old days. Wouldn't change them for the world.
>just an atomised individual adrift in an uncaring system.
Dumbfuck
I was never popular because I was too quiet and reserved. Although i was very athletic so there where many stacy tier girls who liked me. I only ever loved one girl though and there was a time when she had a crush on me. I can't describe how close it came but I was too hesitant, summer holidays came and she met someone else who she has since married. I am 5000 miles away and haven't even seen her in 4 years but i still dream about her and have never felt anything similar for any other girl.
No, I was, and still am, really nerdy and hung out with the rest of the nerdy geeky kids who played video games, watched anime, and were interested in computer shit
this looks like the girl I had a crush on for years, she was into me too and probably still is but I was too autistic to make a move
Yes because i was in a boyish school. The only girls I could see were only with a binocular. Now i'm an engineering student ... basically I am a loser with girls
Man...
My crush since 2008. (still not over her) told me we should get rooms in the same dorm when we found out we were going to the same uni, then changed things up that summer and ended up going to a different one abroad. She's been living with her long term boyfriend in America for a couple of years now and I'll probably never see her again.
No. I didn't have any friends in high school.
My highschool peers were mostly pretty friendly, as far as I can tell nobody was bullied
I wasn't popular because I'm generally more reclusive but I was (still am) friends with some of "the cool kids"
i was bullied
My skin color made me able to sustain my Neutrality in mid-high school. (Not bullied nor a bully; average to pretty popular)
I was invisible. That one you forget about rather quick.
this
I know what it feels like
I was that wierd kid who wasn't bullied because I was able to make people laugh and there were much better targets to the popular lot.
Im at uni now and have no friends.
I just WAS
if you know what I mean,didn't have good nor bad grades,had friends,got some girls attention but that's it
Actually I just remembered,I got picked last for something one time at middle school....but I got my sgit together 2bh
come at least one slither of why you were infamous, you weren't Corey the cat rapist were you? One of my American friends in Idaho told me about a kid who allegedly fucked a cat in hs
i wish that were me...
Audibly kekd
yes everyone tried to be my friend because else i'd bully them.
I'm in high school for nurses rn
I'm not that popular
not sure what I'm doing so wrong, the only time the kids talk to me is to either tell me that I dress like I'm from 'prehistory'
I have friends outside of school, though, they're pretty cool!
how did you bully them?
I'm in high school for nurses rn
I'm not that popular
not sure what I'm doing so wrong, the only time the kids talk to me is to either tell me that I dress like I'm from 'prehistory' or to ask me if I could help them with their test/homework, they mostly just use me for academic purposes, but I don't mind to be quite honest, they don't seem like very interesting people, so it's all cool :)
I have friends outside of school, though, they're pretty cool!
'Prehistory' as in you dress like a caveman or you tend to dress traditionally like people from 20th century?
not gonna lie, he looks EXTREMELY finnish.
I dress 1940s - 1950s
I think it's elegant, but they also often call me a babushka, but whatever lol
why did you stop making the wholesome threads?
you know what sucks? i used to think i had alot of friends, one of them was an iraqi dude who was like a brother to me, he ended up having to go back to his home country and suddenly no one is returning my calls or asking me to hang out, turns out i was my best friends +1 and now that hes gone its like i don't exist anymore.
oh hey Germanon, hows Germany these days, did you celebrate mayday?
They kept getting less and less positive attention, so I just decided to chill for a little bit, guess Jow Forums isn't always in the mood for wholesome threads
by mocking them,giving surnames and making jokes abt them 24/7, and if they dare respond back i waited them after school and fought them.
>Were you popular in high school?
Only in sports
Nah, still had some friends, but they were fellow losers. I was quite fit and ok looking so had some attention from girls but I literally avoided them. Fuck. Nowadays if any of those people saw me on the street they wouldn't recognize me, I'm a fat and bald manlet.
yeah I think the last one you made didn't get many replies
I didn't celebrate mayday, I'm not a very social person and just moved to a new town so don't know many people yet
But I did some sport today so it was a fine day
Did you celebrate?
I always found it easy to make friends, especially at school with the guys. The girls was only when there was romantic interest mostly fatties and "crazy" girls very rarely decent girls showed intress in me because my grades were shit and I was always hanging with the worst crowd
It's OK I'm balding as well and I still get some attention if I smile and be nice and affirmative. I am thinking about drugs or tranplant but to be honest I might let it fall it's natural course
W-what were they giggling about?
>tfw no rich arab friend to bang whores with and travel around the world until we finally settle down and marry our beautiful muslim wives
it's almost like life isn't fair
I didn't, my friends are on a trip in Italy, so I just studied Finnish and French, I was very productive and that made me feel pretty great :)
What sport did you do, also you were studying pharmacology, right? how's that going?
no i didn't rape a cat. nothing like that. it was just family related and everyone ended up knowing about it from the news i think, cause everyone at least in my grade knew. someone super jock that ended up being a star football player in college asked me about it in class one day and the people i sat with told him it wasn't okay to just ask me about it, immediately defending me. so everyone seemed to know but no one brought it up except that one time (except my close friends who brought it up a lot)
I use to hang out with the "cool nerds", the ones that made funny stuff at school and were alpha enough to not be bullied by the normies. Although I don't consider that I was popular but I was far from being weirdo.
>I was quite fit and ok looking so had some attention from girls but I literally avoided them. Fuck.
this, sucks to remember how many girls I could've date if I had put some effort into it.
girl furthest to the left DESERVES my cock
Yes, I was liked by many but friends with few. I have never had a proper group of friends, always been an outsider on the edges of groups.
Nice, cool that you have the motivation to learn new languages, I didn't in school so I know only German, English and very very little French
Being successful at sth and feeling accomplishment is very rewarding, that's why I go running when I feel down
Today I went running and did some calisthenics
I started pharmacy. It's a lot to learn, and t b h I don't know if I'll have the discipline to put in all the effort
I wanted to learn today but didn't do much except read through the script
Tomorrow I'll have 7 hours in the laboratory
How far are you from finishing nursing school so you can go to uni?
This was me but I think they were just decent to me because I'm so ugly I get pity.
nope, I was the literally who kid who no one knew, and left alone, because they didn't care, but was called "fucking weird" once by somebody but his friend told him to behave.
same, except I never made 'true' friends. Maybe partly because I found it so easy to hang around with all different people.
Even as a child my mother said I'd make friends with anyone yet here I am now, mid 20s with barely anyone to share even a pint with.
picked on occasionally but mostly left alone. wasn't popular at all
I kinda was, now i'm a depressed nobody :(
source for this?
That's shit, I lost all my childhood friends, but some from my teenage years are still maximum brotherhood and we hang around too much actually. Maybe just text a good friend of yours and ask him straight up
>Being successful at sth and feeling accomplishment is very rewarding, that's why I go running when I feel down
Agreed!!! I walk my dog whenever I'm stressed, but I love the feeling of getting to bed after a long day of being productive!
>I started pharmacy. It's a lot to learn, and t b h I don't know if I'll have the discipline to put in all the effort
I wanted to learn today but didn't do much except read through the script
stay strong, user!!! The hardest thing to do is to actually force yourself to finally sit on that table and concentrate, find a nice library where you can study in peace, and set a timer when you just concentrate for at least an hour, also - continuity is important: study every day, even if it's for 15 minutes, it's important to have that streak!!! I believe in you, Germanon!!
>How far are you from finishing nursing school so you can go to uni?
Another two years, Just enough time to learn my languages and get ready for uni, still not a 100 percent ready, and I'm sort of nervous for the future, but I'll get there, I guess.. :)
I was a loser, like an invisible person who had no friends.
Then I went to university and alcohol helped me make friends lol
Well, are you?
No, but I had friends who turned out not to be my friends and it has been downhill from there.
you deserve to suffer desu
