      Honestly, it was never the popular kids who I had trouble with in school. They were mostly cordial fellows.

        Yeah the popular kids were always perfectly pleasant. Once I got attractive and learned how to act they interacted with me more, but even before then they weren’t mean.

        It was the fellow losers who bullied me. Looking back it’s honestly amusing how much it wasn’t about nerds vs jocks or anything like that. The biggest social division aside from minor cliquiness based on interests was who was pleasant to be around vs who wasn’t. Though attractiveness really did help as I learned.

      Literally everyone has a soul, stop feeding into this false dichotomy of popular kids versus nerds.

        Popular people in my experience are genuinely nice people, which makes sense because who doesn’t want to know more nice people
