Okay i need your opinons

Okayy well in school, i have alot of friends from different clicks but i deff would not call me popular bc i am pretty but not like the other girls in our school, and lately i have been falling for guys that i know i have abs no chance with i mean totally popular guys i talk to them but i get real shy. and i really want to be like confident and outgoing. i am very open and loud and funny when i get used to people but i want to be myself when i just meet someone for the first time like my friend is[she gets all the guys] i want to be moreee open.
help??

Yeah I know how you feel I've been there. Something I didn't know though was that some people actually had crushes on me. I'm always very very shy and I don't talk to people but I have a boyfriend so I don't really care whether I talk to people or not. I would start slowly with being more outgoing. It would be kind of weird to be one way one day and then HI GUYS!!!! The next. I mean either way works but since you're shy I think that would make it easier on you. Maybe you could ask if the guys have a myspace or ask for an email or something to keep in touch. It's always easier for people to be more like themselves and outgoing on the interent. Or so I think. That way you guys can get more use to each other and you can start to become the more outgoing person you are online.

Popularity only lasts for so long . Besides, why do people want to be popular ? I'd say I'm between infamous and popular (: I'm known, but only because half my high school (I'm a freshman) hates me already ;D But being well-known ... I don't see what's so great .

If you want to make yourself known to someone, go up to them and start a conversation . Approach'em . At least iNTRODUCE YOUR'self . You'll regret it later if you don't, right? So why not just do it instead ?

"But being well-known ... I don't see what's so great"

^ I agree Mindy. In fact, I think the 'popular' people are the ones who get most talked about and then gossip starts spreading about them. I like being in that middle as Mindy said.

and TALK girl. That's the only way.
I know how you feel because I'm shy too (somewhat, especailly around people I don't know much). But just giving it a try won't hurt, right? So just talk to these guys. Maybe at first over MSN or something if that's easier for you.

good luck! =]

I think the world is crazy to rate someone on their personality or appearance because its something they cant change. I dont see why bullies think teasing and hurting is so fun. I enjoy a good fight but cmon thats so low

Popularity fades as do looks you cant judge others or yourself based on your looks or what others think of you. Be yourself, beauty and popularity can only get you so far, but you personality and your mind can carry you all the way.

Popularity has nothing to do with it. Either he fancies you or he doesn't. It has nothing to do with what social group you come from. Forget about trying to be something you're not. If you be yourself you'll be more comfortable talking to others.

Remember kids. Smokey says that being yourself is the coolest thing you can do. :)

Personally popularity shouldnt have to do anything with you liking the guy and the guy liking you, if he truly likes you and if you truly like him you will simply like each other for each other. Popularity to me is just a word.

Doest matter if your poplular!!!! its just a stupid word and try and be yourself jut pretend he is a friend. and if u say something u dont mean to or omething happend just laugh it off dont worry

Popularity is just a ridiculous label kids create. Its completely in your mind man. like whoever you want to like. dont let the friends they hang out with cause u to act differently, that makes no sense at all.
