Wanna be liked (2)

1 Name: Maybe_ : 2016-12-28 12:09 ID:hKstlOtG [Del]

So u want to know how to be liked, not the kind that people want to date u or anything, just liked.
I have trouble at school (yes, u probably do to so I shouldn't be complaining because it's all in my commitment), I get good grades so everyone things I do everything perfect. Last year I was always compared to my best friend and since we're in different classes I decided not to be as close. I was annoyed and my best friend was better than me in everything (especially sports).
The problem is I want people to like me, but not because I happen to be really good at math or that I'm apparently really good at every other class.
A few of my friends are smart and I feel left out (because I happen to be good at guessing and apply logic during tests, doesn't mean I'm actually smart), and if I hang out with other friends I feel left out because people say "oh yeah, (my name) knows the answer so we don't need to tell her" or "she would have the right answer copy hers" and it gets really annoying fast.
Here in the dollars no one knows who I am, so I trust u guys more than my own best friends. I feel like that's a bad thing.
I want to be liked for someone who isn't super smart or feel super dumb, what do I do.

What I've been doing to stop making people put judgement on me when it comes to grades is by not showing them my scores. When they ask me what I got I would laugh it off and say it's classified. I've recently noticed that everyone judges you by these dumb numbers so I've decided to not show it anymore. Every once in awhile I would but really I don't. I know it sounds cliche but I guess you just gotta be yourself. It doesn't hurt to speak how you feel about how they think of you too. You just need the courage. When someone wants to copy off my homework I would also laugh it off and tell them to do it by themselves. I guess you can call me the funny guy but because I act like myself I'm able to slide myself off these uncomfortable situations. Find something you would do if something like that happened again. Also, if they say how you always know the answer you can always say back that you always don't. If they laugh it off, bring them back with a serious tone. If they're good friends, they'll should definitely respect you. Hope that helps!
