BARBiiEx3 answered Sunday June 12 2005, 4:37 pm: don`t even think about other people. or what they think of you. and i know that it`s really hard. but in the end you`ll end up gettin waaaaay MORE friends by being the outgoing friendley, crazy you, than you would have as some stuck up person. so just be true to yourself. and just be you, and don`t let other people phase you! just trust what you think is right! =)
inlovewifnoone answered Sunday June 12 2005, 10:01 am: just try not to think about the other people, because when someone doesnt like something about your personality or looks its normally because theyre jealous, so just think of it that way, and just be yourself.

nerual12 answered Sunday June 12 2005, 1:53 am: I think that everybody goes through stuff like that-- it's all a part of growing up.
But basically you need to search deep down in you to find out what your all about and what you want. It sounds like you've lost some confidence in yourself-- so you need to boost that back up!
Throw yourself into new and different situations. Take charge. Plan parties, go out with friends, meet new people. All of those things will help to increase confidence in yourself.
Find out who you are. What you want. What your morals and values are and then you'll become you. Maybe not exactly like the old you-- but a better, newer, improved version of you. [ nerual12's advice column | Ask nerual12 A Question ]
askforanswersfromAndie answered Saturday June 11 2005, 1:23 pm: ok if you had lots of friends who like dyou for you and that is what made you happy(being you made you happy) then be yourself . don't listen to the "popular people". like at my school people are "popular" but there are so many popular people it is stupid. and like all of the "popular" people hate one another so i think it is better to have really friends that like you for you then to have friends that don't really like you that much or like you to much or just plane hate you. so i say stop trying to be "popular" cus they are just always in fights and mad at someone and makefun of everyone who doesn't act like them and stuff. but also on the other hand there is a girl at my school who is crazy and stuff she is so cool and every one likes her popular and otherwise so just think about that . hope i helps sume.

Teza answered Saturday June 11 2005, 12:53 pm: You defenetly need to go back to how you used to be. Be yourself again. Being popular isnt everything. To me it sounds like you already were popular. Everyone loved you for your awesome personality and if you just stop thinking about being popular and being liked by everyone you would for sure go back to the old you. It really isnt important if some people dont like you its just because there is a lot of immature and ignorant people. People would love you again if you are just the regular you. ex__oOh ♥ [ Teza's advice column | Ask Teza A Question ]

ideals answered Saturday June 11 2005, 11:43 am: Screw what other people think.
As long as you're happy, nothing else should really matter.
And if being outgoing and stuff made you happy, then do it!!!! :)
And you def said that people liked you when you were YOU, so you'll def become popular that way (if you're still interested!)
GOODLUCK LOVELY!
Let me know how everything works out! :)
If you have any more questions or need follow up advice, please by all means feel free to ask me.

candace82 answered Saturday June 11 2005, 11:28 am: I had a similiar problem like that after i had my baby. I relized that i wasn't myself anymore i am very outgoing and always have been but i just started going back to myself slowly. Just be yourself you will be suprised how many newpeople you will meet popularity is nothing i would rather have a friend who is thereself and fun then one that is popular. Just go back to being you you will be much more happy with yourself i promise. [ candace82's advice column | Ask candace82 A Question ]
xooLEMONADEoxx13 answered Saturday June 11 2005, 11:09 am: just start real soon. don't just walk up and be like hyper or anything that they might find you annoying. all you have to do is get warmed up to them and then no matter how outgoing you are you'll still have friends.
