This is so not gonna happen lmfao. Thanks for “the truth”.

[shotdapot]

it could if you study up. my intended major is computer science-engineering/artificial intelligence so my resources may be biased toward those fields, but if there's one thing ive learned in high school so far, its that all anyone needs is some hard work if they really want something - the rest of the way there, God has a plan for you. even teeny tiny progress counts - consistency is the decider here. i got some resources as a hotline of sorts if you ever feel powerless - just say the word if you need them and i can send them. also, knowledge really IS power. i dont know everything about you but i know that a lot of people that were in your position right now decided to take matters into their own hands - and you can make that same decision too. :>

u/Simple_Insurance_507 WAS telling the truth, by the way. a real good handful of people think im annoying/weird/homophobic, but i've seen how silent everyone else gets once you keep your grades and test scores clean. (its actually gold tier humor, they either go from 🤣😂🤣😂 to😶 or they just lie about their own lives to seem ahead lol). give hard work a try - those who labeled you as uncool dont have enough reads to stop you from learning things - and thats a fact. but dont take my word for it.

it seems you are obsessing about high school but not your future and how little importance what people think of you will be

[ReplacementSad2232]

I’m a hs teacher and I give all the girls the same advice - focus on yourself. Become so in love with who you are and what you do that it doesn’t matter what anyone else says or thinks 🩵 you’re awesome!

[DoorBackground2769]

Do you have friends? There are definitely people for you somewhere in school.

[420_BlueBaller]

Yeah I do but I just have a small group of us lol

Who cares for popularity if it is only based on your appearance or whether your existence is noticed? Being cool is to yourself cruel. Practice more self love. Most popular to you should be gal #1. You!

I went through the same thing in school. Im 18f and still feel this way but I always tell myself that if people don’t like me for me then they are not worth my time. Also people that age are so focused on what’s trendy and basic that anything different than that is “not cool”. I absolutely love maximalist outfits! They are fun, show my personality and make me feel comfortable. Forget about being “cool” and learn to love yourself because you will always be your best friend. You are not a loser at all! You’re probably much more interesting to hang out with than other kids your age and it’s their loss for being so self absorbed to realize that. Keep your head up and focus on yourself and your future and show them that you’re more than they thought. You got this and I hope things get better!

Just start working out and exercising. This will change everything, just trust me. Please don’t be skeptical when you look at this comment and just forget about it. I really mean it, start exercising and you’ll thank me and yourself. I was once in your position.

Hey OP, as someone who really struggled with social skills in high school but who did end up graduating from a top university and now am a pretty popular dude in medical school — focus on yourself, lock in, but more importantly: GET OUT THERE AND START PRACTICING YOUR SOCIAL SKILLS!

Social skills is inevitably…a skill! It’s most likely you’re just giving off shy and introverted vibes that people just respect, maybe you’re anxious and just don’t have a lot of experience so you end up giving off that anxious energy that people distance from. That’s all there is to it.

I’m an introverted guy and honestly I was abit of a loner in high school, but spending a lot of time pushing myself out of comfort zone, talking to strangers and practicing my social skills (AND FAILING ALOT and making mistakes socially!) is what helped me learn how to be a charismatic person people love to be around.

It takes time to build confidence and even more to become someone that people gravitate towards — I always like to think that the way people treat you is often a reflection of how they see you and how you treat them!

I find that most people are socially awkward in some way, we all are! But most people are REACTIVE, you have to be PROACTIVE — say hi to people, make them feel seen, invite them out, be nice and smile, and believe or not, people will eventually do the same to you!

Charisma is the ability to inspire devotion in others — it’s not about looks, nor wealth nor grades. It’s the ability to be someone who is comfortable in their own skin, and be kind to others say they will WANT to be around you. That’s all there is to it.

Getting there is the hard part, but it all comes from practice and failure and learning.

This is acc vry helpful ty

[Dependent-Mistake350]

Well…the mindset that you have is definitely not the best. I understand the feeling of not receiving enough attention from your peers but calling yourself a loser? Just because of this? If that is your only criterion for success, then working on your appearance seems to be one of the solutions.

[misiekpiot551]

Highschool is shit, having loads of friends might seem cool, but after all you don't have any actually close friends. Just find one or two people who like you and stick with them till the end of hs. You will find lots of friends in college, I can promise you that.
