How popular are YOU?

WAutistic Guy: I don't think girls would find you that weird for listening to "old" music. Many girls like it, too.

I was very unpopular in high school. The older I got, the more popular I became.

I'm not the center-of-attention social butterfly type. I keep to myself. But I'm not really "unpopular."

Why Nerds are Unpopular

I was somewhat under the radar but I had friends in every group and they would explain what's going on to me.

in middle school and earlier on in high school i jumped from group to group, interacting and trying to make some relationships. as i was awkward, they were pretty basic and shallow and rudimentary, but in the process i became rather well known, as in the "saying hi in the hallways" well known and "people knew my name" known, not necessarily liked, i think. i think even now i'd be surprised at how many people were irritated with me and didn't bother to tell. (though i tend to assume the worst regarding those things)

later on i became more secure with how many friends i did legitimately have and stopped being such a butterfly. i no longer speak to anyone from those earlier days, barring one person. about whom the situation is complex and twinkly.

i did tend to go under the radar. people seemed to be surprised at my presence if they noticed it.

I'm on the sorta am, sorta not. Some people know my name.

When I was in high school, I was an outcast even amongst outcasts.

Right now, at age 55, it's really a mixed bag. People tend to be ambivalent about me. It might even depend on the day--they might like me one day, and dislike me the next.

Some of my teachers really like me and despite me having issues with many students I also have a few I can talk to who are quite nice. A few years ago it was terrible since I couldn't connect to others as good as of today. Somehow many people know me although I've never met them before. I'm not as social as it may sound but it got better. I still prefer to be alone since it costs much energy.

Some people that I don't even know know my name, plus I have over 100 watchers on both deviantART and YouTube, so I'd say I'm not that popular, but quite a few people know who I am.

I think that I am in the Average-Well Liked but I'm not sure, specially for a moment that happened a month ago that made me rethink my real popularity (I don't want to boast)

I've got close friends and I seem to get well along with everyone, I thought that because of this moment:

I'd lost my agenda in the class of before so I went there for taking it, there was another class going on and basically this happened:

-Me: Hello... I've left my agenda here, Could you give it to me, plea...

-The Class: ¡¡¡¡APOLO!! !!

-Me: Oh... Hello guys and girls... (waves hand and smiles)

-Some people of the class: ¡LITTLE APOLO! (They said something that is a bit hard to translate back, but it's a diminutive.)

-Me: Yesss... hahah, thanks... (I didn't know what to do)

I've even seen a figure waving his hand to me, but I couldn't recognize who was because I went out, I'm sure it was a boy. I waved my hand a little more and went back to class.

So I think I am... More well liked that anything else.

I'm generally well respected, but there are a few people who hate me and a few who like me. I think that because of my straightforward personality, most people wouldn't like me if I didn't get good grades. I'm lucky in that respect.

also how/why is this thread still active after 9.5 years.

I was very unpopular for many years, and then I became sort of popular-ish when I figured out that rapidly solving Rubik's Cubes of all sizes and showing my large amount of knowlage about space travel (my special interest) using a lot of jargon makes my look smart. In my current school though I seem to be once again thought of as a weird guy who probably has something wrong with him, and I don't really care enough to try to change that.

I dunno. I know people, and they like me, so that's all I really care about.

^ i like your attitude.

In high school, I definitely wasn't popular. I had some friends, they weren't really the best people but it worked well enough. I never really got picked on much either.
