Alot of the time I wish I could me more glamourous; more well-liked; more respected. I guess you could say popular.
Not like the bad popular, I just want more people to like me. I have a bunch of friends but I want to be friends with everyone. Not just a few cliques. I want to be self-confident; A girl all the guys like; a girl that would make a great friend; a girl thats always got plans to be with someone. I hate being alone and unliked. Anyone got any ideas?

If you act like you're confident, you will soon BE confident..
I know it sounds confusing but trust me. It works!
Makeup can go a loonnnggg way. If you don't already wear makeup, maybe start wearing like a bit of eyeliner, etc.
Be FRIENDLY! Everyone loves a friendly person :) But don't overdo it.
Compliment the people you want to be friends with; Find something you have in common with them.
I know all of this is easier said than done, but try it.
Here are what some good friends should be like:
*are good at giving compliments without going overboard
*go around with a pleasant expression on their face
*laugh at people's jokes
*are kind
*ask, not demand, to join in
*offer to help others with work or carry things
*invite people to do something
*hang around places where other students are
*are welcoming to new students
*are good at thinking of something interesting to do
*are willing to share
No one wants to be "alone and unliked." I'm sure you aren't...but with a boost of confidence, and a great smile, you'll have 93584976843 in no time! haha..not really..but somewhere close to there. :)
Here's a site on how to make friends OR reconnect with old ones:

sgran20 answered Monday January 16 2006, 2:21 am: i know just how you feel. one thing i have to say to you is do not change your image or personality for anyone. if they so called popular people dont like you they are probably not worth hanging around. most popular people are jerks anyway. trust me i used to one of then until i changed for the better.

adinaa answered Monday January 16 2006, 12:44 am: Haha let me remind you, popularity isn't everything. BUT i guess i could give you some tips on that. lol Glamour-definetly read magazines like crazy. All the beauty and fashion tips will help you dress and look alot better. It'll fill you in on what's in and out. Boys-go out to public places and find guys you think are cute. Friends-go to parties, talk to people you dont normally talk to at school. Basically, you should probably be more social. My advice probably sucked, but i tried. Just don't let popularity be the center of your life, you won't be as happy. ♥adina [ adinaa's advice column | Ask adinaa A Question ]
queenhearts answered Sunday January 15 2006, 11:02 pm: No, don't try change your look. Just talk to people. A lot of people know these sort of things. Especially the people that are "popular" they notice someone changing and that person would be known as fake.. and it's just all drama since they don't want to do anything with them so most people follow their choice. Just be yourself and be more outgoing towards others and you'll have some plans with people. Ask people if they wanna go see a movie or something. You are most likely not unliked, its just people don't really know you. Be you. Be confident. You really dont want to be the girl all the guys like because most guys are afraid to ask that girl out because she would be too good, etc. But yes, if you want to be more glamourous...going for something new I suppose...Maybe doing something with your hair? Get a perm, colour change, etc. Some eyeliner & extra volume mascara. Clothes wise? Maybe something to compliment your figure? Fitting t-shirts and ripped jeans..?

livingLIKEloversxx answered Sunday January 15 2006, 10:46 pm: the funny thing is, changing yoorself for other people, is something you shouldn't have to do. people should lke you for you. but i understand wanting guys to like you, its common. but think about it, do you like the popular people? do you like your friends? which do you like more? which would you rather hang out with & have more in common with? im not saying you have to ditch your friends to be more popular, but some friends (and other people) hate people who try to popular. but if you really want to change, be kind of hip with fashion. Sstores like a. eagle and abercrombie. wear big neklaces, those are nice. wear skirts in the winter with leggings underneathe. No sneakers; try birckenstocks, uggs, thing like that. Blowdry and/or straighten your hair (of course not if its curly). And wear A LITTLE bit of make-up. But not too much, thats slutty depending on your age. Try and sit next t new people in classes, and walk around visiting all tables at lunch time. Just be really outgoing, go up to guys. make them want you, laugh a lot. Play hard to get, have a good time. People like to see other people having a good time. [ livingLIKEloversxx's advice column | Ask livingLIKEloversxx A Question ]
