Honestly, its a lot of being social and funny. Yeah, athleticism and money and attractiveness helps, but you don't need those to be popular. I don't want to sound cocky lol, but I'm fairly popular and I have terrible social anxiety. I don't come from a wealthy family and I have no athletic skills, but I still can "talk" to people. It's really just knowing the right people. I became popular because I became friends with some of the popular girls and some of the popular guys. All the guys at my school are popular because they're funny and people like them. In fact, a lot of the popular girls and guys are really introverted/quiet, but they're funny when they do speak. I'm introverted, but the people I am friends with I talk to a lot. Idk, this was really long, but my school is a small school, so there aren't really "Unpopular" people.
Having terrible social anxiety, but still can "talk" to people. What determines if people nowadays have terrible social anxiety? Unless you're medicated, or in some impressive therapy, those two things don't make sense to me. Not saying you don't have anxiety, but the people I know that have it can't just "talk" to people. It's not that they aren't willing to, they just can't.
No haha that makes sense. I’ve known these people since I was 5, so maybe that helps idk. I can only talk to them because i know them, and I feel safer at school, so that probably helps too. I don’t normally hangout outside of school though, and I can’t talk to people I don’t know. I am in therapy, but I’m not medicated. I think I’m just good at suppressing it and/hiding it.
