Hey Flood....if you don't have friends it's your own fault
So I started a thread about money and wealthy people a while back, and got some very interesting responses. I'm going to start this topic on high school social skills and keep it short
I'll give you the key to making friends in high school:
Actually care about other people, go to ANY and every extracurricular activity your school throws also. Don't harbour attitudes like, "Everyone around me is a moron and I'm super smart and all these people with friends and lives are really losers and I don't need friends," it's such an unhealthy attitude bro.
I know a guy who thinks this exactly, I've been going to a private school for a while and he's still in public. He plays pokemon on his phone is every class and doesn't make any effort to meet people....though when we hang, he complains about how shallow people are around him, how he hates the popular kids, he deserves friends but no one at the school tries to understand him....
This bring me back to my other thread. Why is it that people have this mentality of, "I'm here, I'm alive! Thus, I deserve!"
It's totally bologna my Flood brothers. If you harbor that mindset, and you're looking for friends, trash it,
The key to meeting people is geniunely listen to the stories the have to tell, find out alittle about them....maybe they're not shallow, maybe people like my friend are the shallow ones and not giving others a chance.
Thing is I don't believe in "popular" kids and losers all that much. Well I only believe in social people and antisocial....all the people I know on sports teams, clubs, etcetera are the nicest people I know, and will be happy to be your friend, unless you're outspoken about hating popular kids lol
Anyway this is another one of my golden threads, no need to respond to this, just luminate on what I've said. If you need someone to talk to feel free to PM me
Yes I played soccer, my only sport in HS, but still. I do not believe in some hierarcy in high school, or how only the cool kids are the ones who play sports. What I'm saying is make an effort to meet people
I'm out guys, I need to finish my Pokemon White 2 walkthrough that I've been working hard-on, but if you disagree with what I've said we should get into a PM discussion......peace brah!

What a lovely wall of common sense!
-
I have many people I talk to, but I guess I do not want any friends. They are either too rough and rowdy or they are too nerdy..

S,A and, T are the most used letter for each new line you have.
-
two my best friends were popular /outcast
-
tl;dr I agree.
-
Of courrrrse it's not their fault they're awkward!! It's the neighbor's fault..... -___-
-
Going through a rough time in my life right now.....this is what I need to hear. THanks for the tough love man.

Completely agree. I've been a sarcastic dick most of my high school life, and in return, I had no friends. I've started being a lot nicer to people these past few months, and people like me back. I've got lots of friends, people want to talk to me. I deserved my lack of friends, it was all my fault. I turned it around and hey, people like me now :D
-
what if i generally dont like people including people like op but i still want to be friends with people with a simlair mindset without seaming like someone like op?
-
Completely agree OP.

Yeah I think it's my fault I don't have any friends cause I'm completely unlikeable and worthless. Which isn't really my fault. Well kinda. Wait wat

Not entirely. A lot of one's personality depends on how they've been treated in their family and basic genetics. No one has control over that.
-
So basically you're making others feel bad because of their own habits?
-
What a dazzling display of common sense.

It's funny how college can make high school look so stupid. Honestly, none of it matters, live your life in highschool so that you won't regret your actions. If you enjoy sitting around playing Pokemon all day, do it. If you enjoy playing sports, do it. Variety is good though.

If you're an anti-social retard, who doesn't put out the effort to socialize, what makes you think that will magically change after high school?

This. I have friends alright, but most people irritate me. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] powerlifter I don't like most people.[/quote]
