Nah, I wasn't quiet, just loudmouthed and obnoxious.

[Flying Dice]

I was the quiet kid that got stalked by a quiet girl.

I wish I could have had a stalker. (´^ω^`)

[Bauglir]

I had one friend, with whom I spent every recess circling the playground discussing schemes for world domination based on the sort of logic found in JRPGs, as understood by elementary schoolers who assume they will inevitably become the villains, with all the superpowers that entails. Good times.

Surprisingly, not generally disliked by anyone as far as I know. I was off most people's radar, I think, and when I wasn't I was going out of my way to be nice to them (out of fear that they would not like me).

[Bdthemag]

So were we all the quiet kid that nobody liked? 

Apparently.

I certainly wasn't quiet.

[Pnx]

I've always alternated between being quiet and introverted, and chaty and impossible to shut up. I've also gone through a lot of phases in my school life, I'd say in the earlier days I tended to be more introverted, and in the later days more extroverted, though I still remained a bit of a shut-in that didn't do anything extra-curricular.

It's more creepy than you might think. I like being approached by girls as much as the next guy, but not with "I've been watching you this past year." That's literally the first thing she ever said to me. Added awkwardness came from the fact she was my cousin's best friend; conversations between us didn't really go anywhere for a while after that.



Anyway, I'm not quiet on the internet and have been trying to reach a healthy balance between the two extremes in real life. Working decently well, though I still can't carry conversations as well as I'd like.

I was the floater. On the edge of a lot of social groups. I was also one of the freaks, which was a good thing since they were the largest single social block in my 2000 student school, standing strong at about 20 central members, and having pretty strong ties with every geek/music/theatre/academic/writing/punk/art group at the school connected to it. In unity, there was power. Nothing makes high school better than knowing there are people you don't even know that have your back.

As for who I was, in particular... I was the kid who roller bladed from class to class, and when a teacher told me I'd be expelled if she caught me rollerblading by her room again, I limited myself to doing so on the other floor. And I got all the grades with seemingly no effort, and got my only major bully expelled by taunting him into threatening me with a weapon in the middle of a crowded hallway.

I'm... not really sure how I'd classify myself. I certainly wasn't popular - I was, at best, on the periphery of a decent social group.

I'm equally glad and disappointed that nobody called me on using the pigface emotioncon there. :|

I'm much the same way; for a while, I tried to compensate in real life by essentially being a supernice doormat so some group would accept me, but stopped when I started posting regularly on here and realized that most of the people I knew were either not worth the trouble or really not worth the trouble. I can think of maybe four people in real life who aren't related to me that I would consider friends, or at least people I would be able to be friends with without hiding how I felt about them.

In high school, I evolved from the immature kid who does dumb things and doesn't care, to the one kid who does dumb things to embarrass himself (stopped hanging out with those friends the next year), to one of the nerdy kids who played Magic all the time.

My high school class was tiny (40) so I pretty much talked to everyone. Outside of high school, I'm basically super talkative around my friends but hardly say anything to anyone else. Especially anyone significantly older than me.

[Flying Dice]

Probably the stupidest choice I ever made in regards to "friends" was hanging out with a budding arsonist. I finally got the message through to myself after about the third time we ran from police because he was too intent on what he was doing to notice the squadcars circling the block.

[Descan]

I was a floater, tooooo~ I usually hung around the ANIMUS peoples, without really reading any of the animes and the mangos. Or whatever.

I was the kid who got asked once "Why do you use so many big words?" while getting 20s, 30s, and 40s in class. And I was the kid who everyone was scared would flip out. (That always bothered me. I was really contrite in my later years, but seems everyone remembers the former. :/)

[Realmfighter]

I am currently that kid who is like 2x as popular as he thinks he is and still has no idea even what the fuck. Like seriously, suddenly everyone likes me for some reason but I'm just usually introverted and socially incompetent as ever. Or maybe I'm being insanely self deprecating and stop analyzing every human contact I have. Definitely one of the two.

I wonder how many people out there have done this same thing.  I had zero friends in real life from the ages 8-15.  Most people who didn't go out of their way to treat me badly, but no one was exactly nice and certainly no one ever questioned it when someone did treat me badly.  So many years later, I can be sort of understanding about it, because I really did have horrible social skills.  Anyway, the internet seriously saved my life.  I was starting to hang out with some really terrible people.  I had nothing in common with them and they treated me like crap... but they kept me around.  I was so desperate to be a part of some social group.  A few years later, all those kids had put themselves in jail.

My high school class was tiny (40)

My class was 30-ish students.  The school was 640 students grades 7-12.

[Scelly9]

My highschool class is going to be 7

[Flying Dice]

Mine was around 240 graduating. We started the year with 400 seniors.
