Popularity

[Gregory]

What is popularity anyway? Is it being able to be atheletic, friendly, pretty/handsome, and accepted by todays standards? Is it being able to follow all the trends? Is it being rich in order to have lots of friends? The world may never know.
Heres what I think::
Who cares. If you have a lot of friends, or even just a few [good ones], and you like yourself, youre better off than lying about who you are, so you [can hang] out with a bunch of [phonies], and cry yourself to sleep thinking about how you can never show the real you because you wont be accepted.

Many before have tried to [define it], to [pin down] that secret quality that [grants] some enormous armies of followers while leaving others out in the rain. All of these searchers have one thing in common: they want to be more popular. This is their downfall, for, indeed, the one thing that the [popular people] share is unrealization of their own popularity. It may be pointed out that some popular people do notice it; however, by noticing their own popularity, they get caught up in the social system, and are constantly forced into [overthinking] themselves and attempting to become still more popular. This redefining of themselves as lacking in popularity inevitably leads to their fall, as they lose the characterisitics that drew to them such a large audience of friends in the first place.
What is the key, then? How can one be popular? The answer, counterintuitively, is by not trying to be popular so much as to interact with people on a regular basis, to have a lot of friends. For confidence is one liked, and, via [the golden rule], through treating other people as friends and not as subjects does one gain and maintain what some call popularity. True popularity is only being nice to people and being oneself to people, so they feel free to be the same around you, and its not all that difficult to achieve, requiring only that one first rid themselves of the illusion of social systems and treat everyone else like equals.

[Dave Paprocki]

Something that, contrary to what [popular people] think, [unpopular] people do not [crave].

[Agnes]

One of the many roots of all evil. (Others include [mathematics], rap artists and Mr [Tobin]) Basically popularity is a [black hole] which most retarded sheep-type-people WANT to be sucked into.

[Merna]

[A state of mind]. Many people say they are popular or use a [label] because they have no [self-confidence] in thereself.

[Cami]

A social disease in which a [blind] group of voids who believe that if you have a lot of [backstabbing] friends, wearing the hottest clothes, listening to [shitty music], and following what your friends do is popular.
