Question Posted Wednesday August 11 2004, 10:40 pm
At my school, I'm like the only one who doesn't know anyone in my class. I don't want to be left out. I want people to notice me. How can I get some people to look at me and say she looks like a nice girl or something. I want to get to know some people. I'm trying to take advantage of this! Thanks! -Charlee
So, you're on a quest for a new personality, aye? Frankly, you seem JUUUST fine to me. There's nothing wrong with wanting friends, but at the same time there's nothing wrong with being yourself. I want you to keep that always in mind as I continue my ramblings..trust me, I have a lot to say.
Basically, if you want others to notice you, you need to build confidence and comfort in yourself. You need a rock solid core so that when people get mean--and they can--you can say: No, that's not me. I know me. I am this, this, and this, and I am not, that, that and that. When people see that you know your own person, and aren't afraid to smile and be friendly, they'll notice. You'll come to light up a room with that confidence. It won't happy overnight, but slow and steadily you'll get there...

Just open-up to people and try not to be so held-back. Wear something bright to school to draw attention to yourself, and hopefully someone will notice you! Maybe you'll even get a cute guy =) [ liddylflirtx3's advice column | Ask liddylflirtx3 A Question ]

Then bring it up by saying something like, "Oh, you like ______, too?! I love it!" That might start off a good conversation. You might also compliment someone who looks nice and friendly, but only if you're sincere! [ Blank_Trouble's advice column | Ask Blank_Trouble A Question ]

It doesn't matter who, but if you want to get to know certain people all you have to do is introduce yourself. When people start noticing how nice you are by getting to know them, they'll be sure to want to get to know you. [ Mizz_Chupaz's advice column | Ask Mizz_Chupaz A Question ]

tinkerbell answered Wednesday August 11 2004, 10:47 pm: Talk to them! If you prove that you are a nice girl than people will want to get to know you. So just start out with conversation and pretty soon you'll be making tons of friends. **Kacie** [ tinkerbell's advice column | Ask tinkerbell A Question ]
SammyPie answered Wednesday August 11 2004, 10:45 pm: I say your best bet to get people to notice you is to volunteer in class, and then when you have breaks from class, talk to the people in the class and let them know you exist. Make them WANT to get to know you.
