Being Popular

Being popular isn't everything. As I have previously stated, only insecure people want to be in the spotlight. Since they are insecure, they make themselves feel better by getting all the attention or making other people feel bad to make themselves feel better.
There are two kinds of popular. One kind, is when they make other people feel bad to make themselves feel better. They usually are in a clique. The other kind of popular is when people just like to be around you. You may have a lot of friends, and that could just be because they like your personality. It is true that they should be happy that they are popular, but if you know who you are and you are confident, then there is no need to be popular. Insecure people go for the spotlight, not confident people. You don't have to be popular to know who you are on the inside.Popular people only pick on others because they are jealous of you, or it makes them feel better about themselves when they make other people feel miserable. The best way to get rid of them is just to ignore them. They are really the weak ones, and if you are brave enough to go up and confront them, then you are definitely a strong person.
Like I said you usually find popular people in cliques. They have a little group of people, and they don't let anyone else be their friend. There is a difference between a group of friends and a clique. A group of friends are just people that have fun together and they have fun, and it doesn't have to be one gender. Everyone is welcome in a group of friends. A clique, is usually made up of insecure people that rely on the people in their group to make them feel better. They make other people feel bad, and it is usually one gender. You can't exactly declare yourself popular. They assume the force of being popular. When people just like you, they come to you. Like in Greece, a Tyrant was a King that assumed power by force, that is exactly what popular people do.
Just because popular people think they are popular, it doesn't mean that other people like them. People don't usually like popular people for who they are. Just because they may be popular, or again they think they are popular, they don't have to be popular in your book. You shouldn't feel like they are a giant cat and you are the mouse. It's the exact opposite. You shouldn't be threatened by popular people, they are really the weak ones. This is what I always try to remember day-to-day.
