Rejection

That is almost EXACTLY how I am.

I can be a little controlling sometimes.... but otherwise, that is me.

 

Same here, actually. I'm friends with even the preps at my school, and I hate preps!

I choose not to get involved with the people I would never want to and that's what makes me--me. I only chat and 'hang out' with my actual friends who I eat lunch with, talk to on weekends, hang out with on weekends.

I mean, I used to have really bad social problems when I was younger--at ages 7-12, because I only had one group of friends and beceause the school was so small I was judged on a lot. But even then, I always had friends.

I never had to face real rejection. I've come close a few times but never to the extent where I started cutting, smoking pot, doing drugs, drinking, crying myself to sleep, etc., etc..

 

Never even gotten close either. I usually just sit around depressed and listen to emo music.

 

Well, I'm not going to say I'm a popular, but I'm friends with all the popular kids. They're all really nice. I don't know where you come from, but if they're mean they're just being ****s. It's usually just the girls who are *****es, anyway. I mean, I'm friends with like every person in my grade just because I can make everyone laugh. My best friend is a nerd. Yet, my best friend is an amazing athletic. Preps, yes, are preps, but they're not mean to people because they are gay or like "anime". Some people just suck at life, and those people end up having no friends. "Cool people" wouldn't make fun of you if you weren't int heir way anyway. Don't get too close to them, or they will reject you. Stay away if you are considered an outcast or loser. I'm just giving this advice not because I am one of these people, but I'm in-between. Look at me. I have over 3,000 posts on a damn Kingdom Hearts message board. KINGDOM HEARTS. What the hell? Where did my life go? Whatever. I spend all my "social" time on the computer yet I am friends with all these nice people who everyone in here is blaming for "rejection". Don't blame them for rejecting you. They're not ****s and *****es, in fact, if anything, they're just like you. It starts in elementary school. You can be popular or not. I had friends from all regions as I grew up, and then I got into Kingdom Hearts. They have never rejected me. Ever. So don't say they are all the ones who cause pain from rejection. I'm just like any other nerd from my school, ANY OTHER, and I am not rejected. So why are you?

Because that's you.

 

Maybe if you get to know they "popular" people a little better you'd most likely find out they're not mean. That's just a sterotype... but thats was all cliques are pretty much.
Or if they are mean... hmmm. I guess just stay away from them. Or get to know them as an individual you may find out that person is very nice or has the same interests as you. You could find out they're a completely different person away from the pressure of their "clique."
Anyway I still say... be yourself. Be "cool" in your own mind. And just talk to everyone. ^_^

 

becuz it's human nature. i used to be like that too but i realized i was just being an idiot. it's only natural

 

"Cool" is relative.

 

as is nearly everything to do with human perception

 

wth. Don't judge a person just by looking at them. I've been judged by that - i used to be a model. And I usually get told that the people i become friends with thought that i would be *****y because of my looks. But at my school, everyone knows each other, we all get along, everybody's popular.

 

just be yourself. u'll make the right friends that way. if u pretend to be something ur not, u'll just end up with ppl u can't really relate with. it's only natural to want to belong but u dont' wna go where u dont' belong, trust me

 

Well, at my school, people judge you by how you look, and what you like.

Like if I told my whole grade that I like anime and Manga, they would completely reject me treat me like I should belong in a different place.

The funny thing is, what they think is cool, is complete immaturity and sports. Like, for instance, the "cool" group will be laughing about some girl's pants being a little low. Then they'll be completely concentrated on a baseball game when they have to play. Well, immaturity is the most popular thing in my school, and all I do is be immature, but in a fun way. A way that people like us would like. Fun. They think it's ******ed, when they are the ******ed ones.

Kids will jump around like they are mentally ******ed and yell, "SASQUATCHE!!!!!" and "YETTIIII!!!!!!" then turn to me, talking about an anime and call me ******ed for like it.


Conclusion: Kids at my school are ******s. PERIOD.

 

it sounds like ur in middle school, lol

 

Junior High.

I'm going into 8th grade.

 

I think that being yourself is the best way to make friends who are actually friends who like you for who you actually are. I used to try and act a certain way to make friends, but I have more friends now that I be myself than I did when I acted a certain way. Now I've noticed that the groups we wanted to be a part of when we were younger don't hang out anymore and most people in my grade don't worry about who they hang out with.

I think it's important to get to know someone before you judge them because some people judge based on stereotypes not on who a person really is.

 

aka middle school, lol. but dont' worry, things are different in high school

 

...Did no one get my point?
We all grow up in high school, it's completely different from middle/primary...XD

If you're rejected, it's nothing to do with yourself, and everything to do with the people around you..

 

Meh, just grow up and quit whinning. This thread is starting to feel really Emo.

 

bah, popularity is stupid, im in the crowd called "me".

 

i certainly didn't. but that's not ALWAYS true. sometimes ppl are rejected becuz THEY are the jerks.
