I think for the most part, people don't love or hate me, but I tend to linger somewhere in the middle.

One thing about being popular. Either people love me or Hate me. Right now, I'm content on working on me. I have a lot to work on but I will allow opportunity to present itself (friendship)

I am not at all popular,
especially now that I am here in the darkest of Africa. Ha Ha... no.. I would probably not like to be popular.. I like my alone time but these days I would like to be a bit more popular. I do not have many friends. The true friends that I thought I had are all in South Africa but we have grown apart. Mr Tanga is completely the opposite, he is very outgoing and makes friends easily.. everybody always likes him..

Thanks katray.
Did you have those problems where the "same sex" friends were jealous of the "other sex" friends? Or possibly the other way around? I had one friend who HATED when I had a boyfriend. She would say all kinds of evil. LOL.

Though very shy, I always had lots of friends while growing up. Can be time consuming and cause conflict, especially when the "other sex" is involved, lol. I enjoy solitude at times also. Interesting and thought provoking post SunnyBeach.

You have never as of yet gotten on my nerves for any reason. I know the truth in all you say.
Honestly, I'm ok, most of the time. Just sometimes it really gets to me.
Since he's been on the net, he can email now...so he's even more demanding of my time and expecting me to say things that I can not....at least not truthfully. So I work around the truth, the best I can, for now. But it's not enough for him. And the truth will never be enough.

I know that you are having relationship problem with somebody
that does not mean you are going to withdraw from society . You said you are feeling better but I realise that you are undergoing deep mental anxiety due to your son's father, his improper response to you .
You need to keep your cool and begin to reorganise yourself in order to regain confidence in yourself . I do not know whether I am trying to help you rightly or getting on your nerves for forcing something which have already rejected . I think I have see more of this world so I ask you to never be hopeless , have faith in God and He will solve all your problems slowly and gradually. I want you to come out from your dark past into the open air and under the bright sun to live life afresh with your kids . They will bring sunshine in your life Sunny.

When I was younger, I was an introvert.
But I married a man who was very outgoing. He talks to everyone everywhere he goes. It bothered me for a long time -- then one day I just found myself being a little more at ease around strangers and it's grown from that.
Now, I'm a very outgoing person. People always like me and talk to me.

I have no desire to be popular with people publicly. I like being alone. I have enough problems now with one person consuming my time that I really wish they wouldn't. I know that you know about this from some of my posts and us talking.
I just got off of one of those 20 min. phone calls...all for nothing. There have been times that I've almost broke the phone slaming it down, because I'm so pissed by the time he finally says something and hangs up...no....no more popularity for me thanks. I'd rather that everyone hate me.

I couldn't deal with the pressure of being popular.
Like you, I'm just not that kind of person.

i know alot of people
and when i choose to go out somewhere I am very witty and entertaining. but i would rather be alone most of the time. sometimes i view popularity as acceptance - and I accept me so what do i care if other people do.

Intereseting post, I must say that you cannot loose your identity by
becoming popular. You are scared to be popular because you think that your privacy will be hampared but it is not so, the more popular you are the more introvert you become .I like to be popular and I think I have achieved a desired level of popularity according to my talent. I am glad and happy that I have to spend most of the time for my blogit friends and that gives me more impetus to write better. Sunny you need to interact with people to be popular and you do possess the ability and quality of a good communicator but you are have some complex bothering you at the back of your mind . Plz make your self positive and you shall be a victor Sweetie.

I think for the most part, happy.
I have great friends, in my day to day life, online, by mail, and within my own family. Sometimes I wish for a little more solitude, but mostly not. LOL

To me being popular doesn't have anything to do with people. I like people and I like being alone. I do like some popular things though...would love to have a new HDTV....lol
